Custom Home Renovations Rooted in Milwaukee
Bold, timeless craftsmanship from a general contractor who gets it.
Renovations without the runaround
We manage the mess and the details—so you don’t have to.
Renovating your home shouldn’t feel like a full-time job for you. At ESJ General, we handle the headaches: the planning, the people, the punch list. We show up, we communicate, and we don’t cut corners. That means fewer surprises, real timelines, and quality work you don’t have to babysit.
We’re a Milwaukee-based renovation team known for clean finishes, clear expectations, and craftsmanship that holds up.
