Windows, Bathrooms and Exteriors in West Salem, WI
West Salem is a place where people put down roots, and the homes show it: village streets, newer neighborhoods and rural properties just beyond the village limits. Wherever yours sits, the projects that matter most are usually the ones you live with every day, like the windows that keep a room comfortable and the bathroom you use morning and night.
Firm Foundation Construction works with West Salem homeowners on those projects first, and on kitchens and decks when you are ready for more. Every job starts with a free visit to your home and a clear plan, and our crew keeps you informed from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. A short drive from our Hauser Street office in La Crosse puts you within easy reach of a team that knows the area.
West Salem homes: what the numbers tell us
West Salem is a community of people who stay put. According to the Census Bureau, about 79% of households own their home, and roughly 92% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier. The housing mix is varied: the typical home was built around 1990, about a quarter date to the 1990s, and about a fifth to the 1970s. Roughly 22% were built before 1960. The surrounding area is largely rural, so projects range from village homes to properties out in the country.

People who plan to stay for years invest in comfort, safety and durability: a window that stops the draft, a walk-in shower that stays easy to use as time goes by, a bathroom that finally works for the whole family.
Replacement windows in West Salem
Homes from the 1970s through the 1990s make up much of West Salem's housing, and their windows are now old enough that drafts, fogging and sticking frames are common complaints. We replace them with efficient, American-made units, keep the job site clean and keep you updated until the final walkthrough. See our West Salem windows and doors page.
Bathroom remodeler in West Salem
We recently completed a bathroom remodel in nearby Mindoro, WI that made the room safer, easier and more comfortable to use; see the project post. We also helped an elderly couple replace a bathtub they could no longer step over with an easier-access shower in an accessible bathroom remodel.

How we plan around your household
Every home runs differently. Some families need the only bathroom back quickly. Others have someone at home all day who needs quiet. At your consultation, tell us how your household works and we will plan around it as best we can. We also keep the work area clean each day and keep you updated as the project moves along.
West Salem questions
Can you make a bathroom safer for someone with limited mobility?
Yes. In a recent remodel we replaced a tub the homeowners found hard to step over with an easier-access shower. We can walk through layout, entry height and other safety features at your consultation and design around how you actually use the room.
Do you work on rural properties outside the village?
Yes. We serve West Salem and the surrounding communities, including homes outside the village limits. Call 608-721-1991 and tell us where you are, and we will confirm the address and schedule a free consultation.
Do you charge for the first visit?
No. The visit is free, comes with a detailed assessment and carries no obligation. Call 608-721-1991 on a weekday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm to schedule.
Can I get custom cabinets or vanities?
Yes. We partner with an Amish craftsman, Levi, who builds custom cabinets, vanities, trim, doors, built-ins and hardwood flooring. Tell us your style and space and we will discuss options at your consultation.
