River Hills is the wealthiest community in the Milwaukee metro — population 1,500, median home value $1.1M. The village is essentially all estate homes on multi-acre parcels with rural-feel landscaping and private settings. Bathroom remodeling work here is exclusively premium custom: estate primary suites, design-coordinated builds, layouts tailored to the home’s architecture.
We’ve completed River Hills projects in established estate homes throughout the village. Most projects skew $60k-$120k+ given home values, larger primary bath footprints, and homeowner expectations for top-tier materials.
