We are Smith Brothers Renovations LLC (Formerly Hilbert Company), We are a small family business (my brother and I) specializing in Kitchen / Bath remodeling and home additions. Our showroom and Custom cabinet shop are located in Slinger. We do everything from supplying high quality custom cabinets to complete turn key remodeling including design. We have been contractors in the remodeling business for over 30 years. Our work is excellent, and if you hire us, you can know that one or both of us will be the one actually providing the craftsmanship for your project. We aim to provide very high quality workmanship at a very competitive price. We do not have a sales staff, office managers, or an advertising budget. Our overhead is kept low, and we are able to often times complete a project for half of what the large companies tell you that you “should be spending”.
"Loved working with Hilbert Co. They provided excellent work at a fair price. Communication was outstanding and our remodeled bathroom turned out spectacular! Thanks so much Corey & Mitch for all the care you took on our project. You didn’t miss a detail. Well, maybe one, but it was corrected without issue. I will hire them again and my family & friends have already asked “who did your remodel?” Wished every company was like this one!"

While building a wine cellar requires a significant investment, it can increase your home's resale value over time. Although you might not see an immediate return, the long-term ROI benefits can be substantial. Because they're often built in areas that would otherwise be unused, wine caves can add to your home's resale value. Storing a bottle of wine in a controlled environment for five years can increase its value. Once you build the space, you can strategically buy an increasing number of vintages as an investment that pays off down the road.
A wine cellar doesn't need to be underground; you can build it in any suitable area of your home. An above-ground cellar offers easy access and integration with your living spaces, while an underground cellar provides stable climate conditions and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and climate control ensure your wine maintains optimal conditions in any location.
Yes, wine cellars need ventilation to ensure optimal air circulation and precise climate control. A proper system regulates temperature and humidity, preserving your wine collection's quality. Good ventilation prevents air stagnation and moisture buildup, keeping your wine in ideal conditions. Without adequate airflow, mold and mildew can develop, potentially damaging labels and corks. Ventilation systems also help eliminate hot spots that could prematurely age your wines.
Yes, any home can have a wine cellar installed if the space is properly prepared. A dedicated area with a solid foundation, proper insulation, and reliable climate control—whether in a basement, walk-in closet, or converted crawl space—can support a wine cellar. This flexibility allows you to enjoy optimal wine storage in any type of home.
