A Different Kind of Build
Building or remodeling a high-end home in Southeastern Wisconsin should be exciting, not exhausting. Yet too many homeowners end up frustrated by vague timelines, hidden costs, and contractors who vanish for weeks.
At Renz Construction, a family-run design & build firm in Waukesha County, the husband-wife team of Greg and Wendy Renz built their entire company around fixing exactly those problems.
What Real Transparency Looks Like on a Luxury Project
While every project is different, here’s the general playbook they follow with clients in Delafield, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, and throughout Lake Country:
- Detailed line-item proposals from day one. All aspects, including tile, lighting, appliances, cabinets, and hardware, are spelled out instead of the usual “TBD” placeholders.
- Budget tracking communicated throughout the project. Clients have access to the actual budget. When something costs more or less than planned, the change is noted. No waiting for a surprise invoice months later.
- Real-time updates keep you in the loop. Quick photos, short videos, and phone calls keep everyone on the same page. If a subcontractor dents a wall or a fixture arrives in the wrong finish, it’s documented and fixed fast.
- A streamlined selection process that doesn’t stress. Instead of sending homeowners on a scavenger hunt across ten showrooms, the design team handles sourcing and presents options in one or two focused meetings.
- Unmatched quality construction you can see and feel. Through partnerships with top architects, craftsmen, and suppliers, this team creates high-quality custom homes that give peace of mind for years to come.
At Renz Construction, they don’t just meet Wisconsin’s Home Improvement Practices Codes; they go well beyond them. State law requires a written contract with basic scope, price, and start/completion dates, but they add fully detailed proposals, material take-offs, allowance schedules, and weekly updates, so you always know exactly where your money is going and what the timeline looks like. That way, you’re never left guessing.

The Results Speak for Themselves
In recent years, Renz Construction has completed dozens of whole-home remodels and custom builds in Waukesha County. Clients regularly finish on budget (or very close) and, more importantly, without the drama that’s unfortunately common in the industry.
Homeowners who choose the firm often say the same thing: they actually enjoyed the process instead of just enduring it. And not only that, they made new friends in the process. When you work with Renz Construction, you’re treated like family.
Is This Level of Openness Normal?
No. Most contractors still operate on the old “trust me” model. Renz Construction operates on a “here, look for yourself” model.
