What Area Homeowners Are Saying...
We couldn't be more happy with the bathroom Alan did for our special needs daughter! He was amazing from beginning to end! Couldn't recommend him more!
Al built a beautiful shed for my family in a remote area, and it was probably the nicest shed ever built. Thanks Al!
Alan did a great job helping us repair a sagging kitchen cabinet. You figured out a way to do this. It saved a lot of time and money and created a great result. I would definitely recommend him.
My kitchen remodel - I am 100% happy to say looks just like what I had envisioned.
Alan is a skilled professional carpenter who was great to work with on our kitchen project. He listen to our ideas and gave fantastic advice on how to meet our needs efficiently and economically.
We loved having Alan work on our recent house project! He was a great communicator from start to finish.
Every time we have worked with Alan, we knew the job would be done right, he is a craftsman , and the work reflects that. Jane
Why us
Why Onalaska Homeowners Choose Choice Home Solutions
Much of the work that comes to Choice Home Solutions, LLC arrives through repeat customers and referrals, which is a result of how projects are run rather than how they are marketed. The written proposal, the daily site cleanup, and the single point of accountability are not extras. They are how every project works.
- Written scope and budget before demolition starts
- Laser-leveled cabinets to within an eighth of an inch
- Permit process handled as part of the project
- Repeat customers and referrals drive most of the work
The problem
You know you want this done. So why is it so hard to commit?
Hiring a kitchen contractor means sorting through a lot of competing claims, and most of them sound reasonable until something goes wrong.
- Budget creep: the quote looks solid, but change orders start appearing once walls open up
- Timelines: the schedule given at the sales stage rarely reflects how the job actually runs
- Hidden work: cabinet blocking, countertop support, and joint handling are invisible once the job is done, but they decide whether things hold up
- Coordination gaps: when cabinets, countertops, plumbing, and electrical all involve different people, accountability gets thin fast
- Decision overload: the number of selections in a kitchen is larger than most people expect, and a change after materials are ordered can stall everything
The hard part is not knowing what you want. It is knowing which contractor's process will protect you once the walls come down.
What we do about it
One Contractor, Start to Finish
I handle every phase of the project myself, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. Before any demo begins, we agree in writing on the full scope of work and the expected schedule.
- Written proposal covers scope, inclusions, and schedule before demolition starts
- Cabinets laser-leveled in three planes to within an eighth of an inch
- Walls blocked and reinforced for stone countertops before anything is closed up
- Layout changes coordinated with licensed plumbing and electrical partners
- Site cleaned daily so the rest of your home stays livable
- Final walkthrough review with you before the job is closed out
Onalaska routes all residential remodeling through DSPS-certified inspectors and General Engineering Co. I handle the permit process as part of the project, so you are not left managing paperwork or scheduling inspections on your own.
Scope and budget agreed in writing before a single wall comes down.
Onalaska's housing market moves fast, with homes selling in roughly 11 days. A well-managed remodel, with a clean paper trail and no hidden surprises, is a direct investment in the home you already have.

Three Ways to Remodel a Kitchen

Pricing
What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Onalaska
Cost depends on the size of the kitchen, the cabinetry and countertops you select, and whether the layout changes. Every project begins with a free in-home visit and a written estimate that spells out the scope of work and what is included. That written estimate is what you compare, not a verbal range that shifts once work begins.

Questions
Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Onalaska
- What does a kitchen remodel cost in Onalaska, WI?
The cost depends on the existing layout, the materials selected, and how much changes beneath the surface, including plumbing, electrical and flooring. A same-layout cabinet and countertop replacement costs less than a full reconfiguration.
After an in-home visit, I provide a written proposal with the full scope and investment so you have a clear number before any work begins. There is no standard price because no two kitchens are the same.
- Is there a kitchen remodeling contractor near me in Onalaska, WI?
Yes. Choice Home Solutions, LLC is based in La Crescent, MN, roughly five miles from Onalaska in a straight line, and I work in person here.
I come to your home for the initial visit, and I am on site throughout the project. You can reach me at (608) 792-7772 to set up a free quote, with a response within one business day.
- Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Onalaska?
Yes. Onalaska routes all residential remodeling through inspectors certified by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services, with General Engineering Co. coordinating the residential inspection process.
I handle the permit process as part of the project, so you are not left managing paperwork or scheduling inspections on your own.
- Who actually does the work on my kitchen?
Every phase is handled or directly overseen by me, Alan Paulson of Choice Home Solutions, LLC. I am on site throughout, from tear-out to final finish carpentry. Plumbing and electrical are coordinated with trusted trade partners, but I manage their scheduling and sequencing so there is one accountable person for the whole project.
- What happens before any demolition begins?
Before any demo starts, you receive a written proposal covering the full scope of work, what is included, and the expected schedule. We agree on that document first. Nothing comes out of a wall until the plan and investment are clear to both of us.
- How are the cabinets installed, and why does it matter for stone countertops?
Every cabinet run is leveled using three-plane laser technology to within an eighth of an inch, and walls are structurally blocked before anything is permanently fastened. That creates a flat, continuous base that properly supports granite and quartz countertops, protecting them against cracking and sagging over time.
The work that keeps stone countertops intact is done inside the wall, where you cannot see it after the job is done.
- Will my home stay livable while the kitchen remodel is happening?
The work area is cleaned daily and organized throughout, and floors, appliances and surrounding finishes are protected from start to finish. Losing the use of a kitchen is the hardest part of a remodel, so keeping the disruption predictable and contained is part of how I run the job.
Your written proposal includes an expected schedule so you know what to plan for.
- How quickly can I get a quote for a kitchen remodel in Onalaska?
Free on-site quotes are available, and I respond within one business day of your inquiry. Call (608) 792-7772 to get started. I come to your home, look at the existing kitchen, and develop a written proposal based on your specific space and goals.
