What We Do
From the planning down to the finish, every detail matters. Here's what we've been building for our neighbors across Ozaukee County and southeastern Wisconsin for over three decades — kitchens, bathrooms, additions and the period restoration work most contractors won't touch.
Thinking about a full kitchen remodel? Olde World Restoration can help. Al has been remodeling kitchens in southeastern Wisconsin for over 30 years.
It doesn't take a master carpenter to put up cabinets, but there is much more to a kitchen remodel than installation. From the planning down to the finish, every detail of a kitchen must be scrutinized to ensure the end product is not only going to fit your home as expected, but also every need that you have in your kitchen.
Only a carpenter with great experience can foresee all the potential problems and create solutions that will be true to your needs, as well as your home's character.

Book a ConsultationWe take great pride in our bathrooms, and we know you do too. When installing tile, there are a lot of ways to cover up a bad installation.
We make sure the job is done right from the substrate to the finish. You can rest assured that your tile installation or custom shower will last as long as your house, without failure.
That's because Olde World Restoration uses time-tested methods for preparing your substrate as well as state-of-the-art products like Schluter® DITRA to ensure a quality installation that can stand the test of time.

We can bring your home back to its original glory while maintaining its historical character. If you have a historical home and want quality work, don't settle for a contractor that will cut corners and use cheap materials to cover up or destroy your house's character.
If you have a historical house, or you just want the highest quality possible, we want you to know craftsmanship is not dead — but it's certainly hard to find. If quality is what you're searching for, then I believe you've come to the right place.
Our restoration work runs from a leaded-glass attic bath to a century-old barn rebuilt for horses.

Don't want to take my word for it? I don't blame you — take a look at our testimonials to see what some of our client base has said.
Additions are a great way to expand the living space in your house. We believe the most important aspect of the finished addition is the way it flows and blends into the architecture of your house. We are masters of this art.
We are also very good at keeping the environment clean and livable if you decide to stick it out and continue living in your home during this kind of destructive — and constructive — undertaking. At the end of the job you're going to remember the experience forever, and we take great pride in making sure you are comfortable until the job is complete.
Finishing your basement is another great way to expand the living space in your home. It is also a job where preparing the space is most crucial. Every basement has an onslaught of water and moisture attacking it from every angle. If you are about to finish your basement, make sure you have someone who knows how to waterproof a foundation before you start your finishing.
We have seen too many houses where home builders have not used the proper methods to control water — and the result can be devastating.
If your house needs a simple facelift or a complete exterior renovation, we are capable of every plan you might have for your home's exterior. We know the beauty of your home is at the heart of your renovation, and we strive to make sure the finished product lives up to all your expectations.
Remember, the exterior of your home is not only the face of your house — it's also your home's shield from the elements. We put a great deal of effort into proper, time-tested methods of installation to ensure your siding, roof, windows, and doors don't fail when put through nature's powerful test.
