About us
My name is Bill. I'm a 3rd generation contractor and have been doing this for over 30 years. Since I opened Emally's Construction, I have been driven by the knowledge and principles passed down to me by my father and grandfather. Even though the products and technology have changed over the years, the people haven't. Homeowners still want an honest company that does quality work for a reasonable price.This is what we pride ourselves on. If you call for an estimate I'm the person you'll talk to. You get me every time. I have a full crew of talented people that have been with me for years. What I don't have is a salesman. At no point do I want to sell you anything. It's my job to inform you and arm you with knowledge so that you can make the proper decision that's best for you. This is an old school idea that I believe is missing in today's construction world. This means no empty promises. We put a plan together and I make sure it happens the way it's supposed to.
I have worked with Bill for several different remodeling projects over the years, and he did an amazing job on this last project! This was by far one of the biggest projects we have ever done, but Bill was so helpful and patient with us! His workers were great too!

Our first project with Bill, a bathroom remodel was a resounding success. We were very pleased with the skill, professionalism, politeness and efficiency of all the team members. Having a hundred year old bungalow and earlier not so well done remodeling, Bill was able to provide great solutions for wonderful results. Bill was also good with how he presented the budget and work schedule so we had clear understanding of all our costs and the timeline for the project. The result was fabulous, we couldnâ  t be happier. After the downstairs bathroom was done, we right away asked Bill do the remodel for our upstairs bathroom. The second project was the same great quality. Bill provided great design solutions for a tricky space and well thought out solutions that remedied bad DIY remodeling by past owner. Again great results. We are so very pleased to have worked with Bill and his crew. We heartily and enthusiastically recommend Bill and Emallyâ  s Construction..

Bill and his team were great to work with. Bill kept us in the loop with scheduling changes or supply issues. Mario and Randy were courteous worked with us throughout the project to make sure our input was taken into account.

Bill and his team are patient, professional and really aim to please the client. They were quick, under budget and flexible. We had a major project and Bill made it feel easy. They were well organized, clean, and the results were stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better partnership.

Bill and his team were excellent. All of the various workers were very professional and respectful. Bill was flexible with me as we were planning out our project over the course of a few months. His team was able to demo our kitchen and rough-in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. They prepped our kitchen space for finishes which I will be installing. I will hire his team again in the future and would highly recommend to anyone in the SE Wisconsin region. Thanks again Bill!

We hired Bill for our first big house project..our bathroom remodel. Being first timers he was patient and explained so much to us. I had a Pinterest dream in mind and he worked with me to get a realistic version of it and the final project is so gorgeous. Many thing outside of his control..shipping and delivery issuesâ ¦were handled well and he helped keep me calm when I thought I would never get a shower door! They were efficient, kept things clean, respectful and quiet as they could be with me and husbands weird sleeping schedule. Things got done quick and bill made sure we were happy with everything during every step of the way. He lays the budget out in advance but just be prepared if you have a Pinterest dream in mind you will likely go over budget, but also bill will keep you informed about where youâ re at each step of the way. Already dreaming of our next big project! These are the guys you want to hire when you donâ t want to do any of it yourself except pick things out!

I had a great experience working with Bill and his team. Everything looks and functions perfectly. They worked at a great pace and were considerate about working around our schedule. They were especially great about being easy to contact every step of the way. If I had a question I would get a response within a day, something that's been an issue with other groups I've worked with.

I think it's a testament to a company when you have such a great experience that you go back to them again for a second project. We worked with Bill and his team on a basement bathroom remodel 3 years ago and loved it. When it was time to finish the basement remodel and redo the flooring, windows and some lighting in the adjacent finished portion of the basement, I knew I wanted to work with him again. Bill is very easy going, but extremely knowledgable. He helped us through some material selection, provided sound advice on options and saw the project through to completion. I've personally recommended him to friends, and would absolutely work with him again on any other remodeling projects that come up at our house. Five stars, full stop.

These guys are great. They are down to earth and won't shoot for the moon. They are high quality, simple, but excellent. I will definitely use them for my next projects. I went with another contractor in the past which was a bad mistake. I should have just gone with Emally's.

We started out with a kitchen and bath remodel. We decided to add a composite deck off of the kitchen and a new bathroom in the basement since we created more space for the kitchen by eliminating our small 1/2 bath off the kitchen. Bill added valuable input each step of the way. Emallys construction always kept us in the know each step of the process. Bill was always available for questions and advice at all times. They turned our old outdated home into an almost new one! We were so happy with the other areas we decided to have them also do our living room and hallways. Excellent work and reasonable pricing. We would recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home. We decided not to let them go for too long and bring them back in the near future to bring our 1970s basement into the 21st century!

Bill, the owner of Emally's Construction, was great to work with. He was there every step of my project, hands on. He was able to make my kitchen open concept and provided me with samples of the granite counter, cabinets, faucets, flooring etc. Bill and his crew were very professional and considerate. They made sure the work area was safe and clean every day and made it easier to live in your home while under construction. Bill was patient with me and helped with important decisions. Every decision is important with any remodel or renovation and Bill was there every step of way. He also gave me 3 different options I could go with for each area being renovated. Helped me with all my choices and stayed in my budget. It took a year to complete as they gutted and rebuilt my condominium. They consistently showed up on time and worked every minute. Bill even brought lunch and breakfast a few times for all of us. What other contractors would do that?!! The pandemic came 3 months in, but we made it! Very pleased with my decision to hire Emally's Construction. Thank you Bill and your crew!! My forever home is cozy, friendly and beautiful. I would recommend you in a heartbeat.

Bill and his crew transformed our 150 year old farmhouse into a beautiful new home; completely accessible for our child who has a physical disability. Bill had a lot of great ideas and worked within our budget. Unexpected surprises that come with tearing apart a 150 year old house did not result in added expenses. Complete remodel done on time during pandemic.

The experience I have had is wonderful! They use quality products, and when the job is finished it looks beautiful! I would recommend them to anybody and everybody if you are looking for good quality work. They are very knowledgeable, and they also provide decorating ideas. They also are very friendly people to have in your home.

The owner Bill and his team have done several jobs for me on two different houses. All of their work has been of excellent quality and completed within the estimated time frame even when unforeseen issues with the old 1920s house arose. Bill is incredibly knowledgeable and fully informed me of exactly what he had to do and why he had to do it every step of the way. I was able to be as involved as I wished to be in each decision, and he was great about accommodating my work schedule when we had to meet. I like to be involved in decisions on the design details (fixtures, tile, etc.), but if I didn't have time to, I would trust Bill completely to make those decisions. He stands behind his work too. I strongly recommend Emallys, and I will be hiring them again within the next two years for another project. These are the projects Emallys has done for me so far: In the upper flat of a 20s duplex: full bathroom remodel, partial kitchen remodel, installation of all new windows and fascia, conversion from boiler/radiators to forced air with new furnace and new central air conditioning, installation of new water heater, new plumbing (in flat and basement), new railings (to bring them to code), and the scraping and treating of basement walls. In a 1940s duplex: new jump porch off room in upper flat and reconstruction of the area beneath a set of storm cellar doors leading to basement.

Emally's Home Improvements consistently failed at every step of the project. This is the fifth major renovation I have done and this was by far the worst experience and result. He could not read clear architectural drawings, shop drawings or installation drawings. He refused to communicate professionally, using text messages and emojis instead. Multiple times when we tried to hold him accountable for the design and fabrication, he threatened to quit, leaving us with an unfinished and non-functional bathroom. He damaged our wood floors because he failed to take proper steps to protect them. His tile work was abysmal aesthetically and functionally. He promised a specific counter profile we requested then failed to deliver, telling us we had to take what he was providing or he would again walk off the job. He left exposed nails when installing the cabinetry. He ruined a side panel to the custom bathroom linen cabinet and refused to re-order the panel from the manufacturer, asserting that he could have *his guy* fix it and we had to accept it. He damaged the hinges and finish on a new door. When we told him we were planning to submit a claim with the Better Business Bureau to resolve the issues, he threatened us with liens even though he had already signed lien waivers, costing us unnecessary attorney fees. I have a photographic record of every mistake and installation error he made. I would never, ever use Emally's Home Improvements for any project.
