RETURN VISIT · SEPTEMBER 27, 2026 · WORK IN PROGRESS

Back in Whitefish Bay.
The details are coming together.

We returned to this lakefront remodel for a fresh look inside and out. The stained wood doors deserve a closer look, alongside the exterior’s light walls and dark window trim. These new photographs and drone views document the progress while the broader remodel continues.

The project story

Character on the outside.
Possibility within.

This Whitefish Bay remodel brings together two very different perspectives: the full scale of the home from above, and the careful work happening room by room inside.

Empire’s role includes interior painting and exterior painting as part of the larger renovation. The light exterior palette, dark window frames, and prominent gables establish a striking visual rhythm. Inside, high ceilings and exposed wood beams give the rooms their own character.

A look at progress. These photographs document a project nearing completion. Construction materials, protected surfaces, and unfinished areas remain visible because the broader remodel was still underway.

Inside the home

Let the architecture
have its moment.

The vaulted room is one of this project’s defining spaces. Repeating ceiling beams draw the eye toward the tall window, while the surrounding light surfaces allow the structure and natural light to stand out.

Other rooms offer a closer view of the remodel in progress, from the contrast around a dark window frame to the protected flooring beneath the work. Together, these images show the setting in which Empire’s team is working.

is personal.

Empire Painting owner Dan Brooks has personal roots in the Milwaukee area. Returning to these neighborhoods brings a familiar sense of place to the work.
