We are on a mission.

Our mission is to provide residential and commercial remodeling to our community in Madison, Wisconsin, and the surrounding area. We believe that the opportunities in the trades are limitless. We also see a career in the trades as a great "equalizer" and a crucial service to a growing South Central Wisconsin population. We view our work as more than just a means of fair pay for our team; it's also a lifestyle and a point of pride. We want to share the benefits and satisfaction of what we do with others.

We acknowledge that we will not always have all the answers. However, if we don’t, we have numerous connections to compassionate and highly experienced local professionals, and an "if we don't know, we'll find out" attitude.

Communication. Fairness. CREATIVITY.

What sets Ace of Space™ Alternative Carpentry apart? Most important to us, we're a queer-owned remodeling company. We began with a simple tool set, 18 years of farm carpentry experience, impactful time at Madison College’s Construction and Remodeling Program, and extensive hands-on remodeling projects.

Our team is dedicated to proving that exceptional work shouldn't come at the cost of your comfort, budget, or results. We embrace accessibility needs and encourage open communication throughout our process. Committed to kindness and honesty, we stand by you through the challenges of home renovations and repairs.

We recognize that inviting professional tradesfolk into your home is a vulnerable act and an important investment.

We want to provide an experience to our customers that leaves them feeling heard from the beginning and content with the price and quality of work completed in the end. We value word-of-mouth references above anything else, because, vetting is a two-way street! Reach out to us today with your ideas and we will respond promptly with our availability to approach your projects.

About our pricing

As you pull quotes from multiple Madison area General Contractors, you will find pricing for your project that both exceeds Ace of Space quotes and pricing that comes in far less than ours.

Our goal is not to be the least expensive option to carry out your remodeling dream, however it is our goal to be the best quality craftspeople, supported by very organized and clearly communicative project managers. 90% of our team is considered non-traditional in our field and are being paid livable wages to turn your remodeling dreams into reality (while also increasing the value of your home!).

We carefully formulate each of our estimates based on your specific project, conditions at your site, and a sufficient amount of project management time to stand shoulder to shoulder with the finest builders in Madison.

Never hesitate to reach out to us for more clarification on how we price our work or how we compensate our team.

Additionally, as a small business who values our local economy, we factor material prices based on supporting fellow local, small businesses whenever we can. Better product warranties, superior customer service, and quality of materials comes at a price - and with benefit to many including our customers!
