It went really well! And I am SO happy with my new bathroom. They tore down the walls around the bathtub and put in new cement board, tile, and a glass block window. Installed new faucets in the tub and new vanity, electrical and medicine cabinet. The communication through the project was excellent, whenever there was a slight hiccup it was addressed immediately. And there were a few additional things that had to be adjusted after the completion of the project and they sent someone right away to deal with it. The workmanship was very good and I will definitely be hiring them for additional projects

We used 2nd Life for a basement remodeling project. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and the online system they use to track project updates is the best I've used. Communication especially through challenging scheduling issues caused by COVID was extremely important, and it's an area where many contractors struggle. They were flexible, able to adjust to a few change requests without trouble, and their pricing is quite competitive. We were very happy with the quality of the work, and we hope to use them again in a future project.

I cannot say enough good things about 2nd Life Home Repair & Remodel. We completed a full second floor remodel of a Wauwatosa bungalow. When we ran into issue due to unreasonable demands by the Wauwatosa City Inspector trying to force us to make unneeded updates to sections of the house not even being remodeled, 2nd Life fought tooth and nail on our behalf and brought in many other experts to help. They are professionals through and through. Communication was amazing and the team completed all of their work on time (minus delays caused solely by the City of Wauwatosa Inspector) and on-budget.
