I have been owner of S.J. Janis Company, Inc., since 1984 and I receive great enjoyment and pride in helping our project management team provide our clients with a quality remodeling experience. My goal is to provide an enjoyable remodeling process while exceeding our client's expectations. Although I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in the biological aspects of conservation and chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I decided my talents were served better in the home improvement industry.

Even if it's currently concrete and crammed with boxes, the lower level of your home has unlimited potential and that will show after a basement finishing by S.J. Janis Company. Treat it just like any other room in your house and it just might become the most popular gathering space.

These clients wanted to update the partially finished attic space, and add a full bath, while maximizing functional floor space without adding dormers and costs associated with that. The goal was to emphasize and the architectural lines of the room and maximize its ceiling heights. The exposed plumbing and HVAC mechanicals needed to be removed. His and her closets were added, along with a sitting area, and an abundance of natural light from three solar skylights. Two barn doors were configured in the space while Red River Hickory Luxury Vinyl flooring adds the cohesive touch throughout the second floor.
