Challenges: This home remodel and sunroom extension in Whitefish Bay, WI was for a historical home that had already undergone several renovations over the years, making it a uniquely challenging project to undertake. Each previous renovation added layers of complexity to the structure, requiring a careful approach to both preserve and enhance the home’s historical character. Matching the new construction to the historical aesthetic involved research and sourcing of appropriate materials that would blend with the original elements. Also, the structural integrity of the home had to be carefully assessed and reinforced due to the age of the building 

Unique Circumstances: The homeowner wanting specially-made hand-cut pine floorboards to given the renovations a more rustic feel. These floorboards were not only unique in their aesthetic appeal but also in their craftsmanship, requiring skilled artisans to meticulously cut each piece by hand to achieve the desired authentic rustic look. Additionally, a great deal of care had to be taken to ensure that the new floor integrated seamlessly with the existing structure, preserving the integrity and continuity of the home’s updated design.

Results: This project was a rewarding challenge for our team. This historical home in the heart of Whitefish Bay has been rejuvenated with beautiful rustic finishes, open spaces, and a gorgeous outdoor area that cater to the homeowner’s tastes. The owner of the house was thrilled with the overall result.

Challenges: This kitchen remodel took place in a charming old house where preserving the essence of the home’s original character was as crucial as updating its functionality. We focused on remodeling the cabinets to custom-designed pieces, as well as adding durable countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and beautiful tiles on the walls and floors.

Unique Circumstances: A unique circumstance that significantly influenced our renovation approach was dealing with the original cabinets and floors, which had been hand-painted by the previous owners. These elements introduced a distinct artistic character and a sentimental value to the space, making our decision-making process more intricate as we sought to respect the home’s history while updating its functionality.

Results: The homeowners ended up loving this gorgeous new kitchen remodel, and they continue to enjoy it to this day.

Challenges: This kitchen remodel took place in a historic Milwaukee residence, presenting unique challenges that necessitated substantial work on the flooring to achieve a more open layout. Due to the age of the home, the existing floor structure was outdated and also compromised in terms of stability and levelness. The renovation process involved careful planning to maintain the integrity of the home’s historic charm while introducing contemporary aesthetics.

Results: The remodeled kitchen is a testament to both modern design and careful preservation in a very old home. The kitchen now boasts a harmonious blend of vintage charm and contemporary functionality, with its elegant cabinetry, sleek appliances, and a spacious island that serves as the centerpiece. The homeowner couldn’t be happier with the result.

Challenges: This job was done in two phases over the course of about four years, including a whole house remodel and a large home addition. This Whitefish Bay property was located along a bluff on Lake Michigan, and a big challenge for our team was the extra safety precautions we had to take with the addition to ensure their home would remain stable so close to the shoreline.  

Unique Circumstances: This home had several neighboring properties surrounding it, which made the construction of this home a unique challenge. The construction was so extensive that the neighboring houses needed 16-foot temporary walls erected to protect them from collapsing into the excavated earth.   

Results: This project took a long time to finish, but the result was a beautifully renovated house this Whitefish Bay family continues to enjoy!

Challenges: The renovation project aimed to create a seamless transition between the kitchen and living room, which required the removal of an existing wall to foster a more open and integrated space. To ensure structural integrity following the wall’s removal, a support beam was then strategically installed in the ceiling. This addition was critical to maintaining the safety and stability of the home while allowing for the open floor plan that modern homeowners often desire. Additionally, the project faced a significant hurdle with the original concrete flooring, which posed challenges in terms of leveling and compatibility with new construction standards and aesthetic preferences.

Results: This client, a newlywed couple, chose LaBonte Construction for remodeling their new home, trusting the firm’s reputation for quality craftsmanship and client-centered service. The transformation of their home not only met their expectations but also added value and aesthetic appeal that they could cherish and enjoy every day.

Challenges:The homeowners expressed a desire to seamlessly integrate the old garage into the existing house structure, a decision that posed several logistical challenges. Factors such as structural integrity, aesthetic continuity with the rest of the home, and practical use of space had to be considered. The process of merging the garage with the house ensured that the final design met the homeowners’ expectations for both functionality and visual harmony.

Unique Circumstances: We successfully integrated the old garage into the main living area of the house, positioning it adjacent to the kitchen to maximize convenience and flow. We undertook a detailed redesign that involved removing the garage doors and creating an open, inviting space that complements the home’s existing layout. One of the key challenges was addressing the structural steel beams that were originally part of the garage’s support system. To conceal these beams and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the space, we installed a coffered ceiling. This architectural feature provided a visually pleasing solution and contributed to the room’s overall character.  

Results: This was one of our all-time favorite projects we did because of the level of detail, thoughtfulness, and design that went into it. This homeowner was delighted with their beautiful new home, and we continue to feature this project as a highlight of our portfolio.
