On Friday, January 12, 2018, Bartelt took home four Wisconsin Remodelers Awards (WRAs). Our team was recognized in the Residential Addition Over $250,000, Entire House $250,000 – $500,000, and Residential Bath Over $100,000 categories.
“We are very proud of this achievement,” said Rick Bartelt, owner. “These awards are the result of the dedication of our entire team – our designers, carpenters, production staff, trade partners, and clients.”
The Wisconsin Remodelers Awards is an annual event hosted by the Milwaukee NARI Home Improvement Council, Inc. It is an opportunity to honor the outstanding work its members have accomplished throughout the year.
Residential Addition Over $250,000 | GOLD
The homeowners loved the aesthetic of their farmhouse, but they had two daughters with young families that they needed to accommodate. They wanted to expand their home, so guests would have their own space when visiting. They also desired more room to host family gatherings. The addition includes a large library and a guest suite that features a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, and bunk room. Details, such as copper gutters, a shake roof, clear siding, and high moldings, were incorporated into the design to blend with original details. The bunk room is a magical spot and even has a secret passage!
Residential Addition Over $250,000 | GOLD
The homeowners of this charming 1920s lake cottage desired more space for their daily life, entertaining, and their ever-growing antique collection. They also wanted to restore and enhance the home’s original charm. The home was expanded to include a larger kitchen, a new family room, a lake porch, utility space, and a study. Details, such as exposed rafter tails, beadboard soffits, antique light fixtures, and reclaimed doors and windows, were incorporated into the design to complement existing features and highlight the homeowners’ vintage style. The addition is reminiscent of the home’s character while offering modern amenities and low maintenance materials.
Entire House $250,000 – $500,000 | GOLD
The scenic backdrop drew this couple to the home, but the interior lacked style and function. It was vital to eliminate the compartmentalization on the first floor and create a home more conducive to entertaining. The remodeled spaces are now a balanced mix of feminine and rustic details – a blend of their individual tastes. The project features decorative lighting, antiqued oak floors, a distressed beam mantel, and a large kitchen. An open staircase with floating treads is the focal point of the first floor, and a master suite addition takes advantage of the home’s views and serves as a retreat.
Residential Bath Over $100,000 | BRONZE
These empty-nesters lead a busy life, often traveling for work. They wanted to update and expand their master bathroom to create a retreat after their time away and mimic the luxurious places they’ve visited. The remodeled space is flooded with natural light and boasts unique finishes that exude elegance and complement the homeowners’ eclectic taste. It features water jet cut glass and marble tile, a custom metallic-finished vanity, a freestanding tub, porcelain tile resembling marble, and a large frameless glass shower. It is also equipped with ample storage and “elbow room” for two.
