Laurie Narciso
CEO
Our Mission:
To link underserved, re-entry, minority, and women populations with employers.
Our Purpose:
Providing exposure to the trades through short-term trainings and pre-apprentice programs.
Our Process:
We implement curriculum designed by industry leaders to train individuals in the skilled trades. Then we leverage industry suppliers, employers and job placement programs to help job-ready candidates find the right employer.
Our Story:
Home economics? Clarinet lessons? College? No way! I wanted shop class; a drum kit; a stint in trade school. But “non-traditional jobs for women” weren’t a thing in the 1980s, so off to college I went.
After graduation, I got a great job at EDSI helping low-income, non-custodial parents, and ex-offenders train for and find employment in career pathway positions. I spent over 20 years helping people take control of their futures, and in the process built a great network of industry professionals who helped these individuals reach their goals.
Meanwhile, I logged thousands of hours in my garage, tinkering with vintage items and repurposing flea market finds. My treasures were items other people threw out. I spent time on the tools, feeling accomplished by mastering new skills. My garage became the trade school I never got to attend.
Then the coronavirus made its way around the world, and 41 million people lost their jobs. Many of these jobs are not coming back. I recognized an opportunity in the lack of young people pursuing the skilled trades, where jobs are plentiful. I thought to myself, “Why not merge my career with my avocation and help people find meaningful, sustainable employment in the trades?” Thus, Garage82 was born.
Let me explain the logo. The garage is my happy place, where I go to be creative and relax. “82” represents the 9-year recidivism rate of ex-offenders in the United States, a population I worked with throughout my career. This number is too high! Lowering it requires tapping into each individual’s potential and helping them find steady work with a living wage, something that is almost impossible given the hurdles this population faces upon re-entry.
Finally, the octopus intrigues me. Did you know the octopus has three hearts and nine brains? This sea creature symbolizes flexibility, creativity, intelligence, and expansion—qualities I seek to emulate through Garage82. Together, the name and the logo represent my experiences and my goals.

Why people like to do business with us.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE HEARD.
We listen to what you like and why you want it. If it's too costly, we'll offer you a couple of alternatives to choose from. We treat the design and build as a collaborative process.
WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.
This may be the first renovation project you've gone through. But you can relax, as we'll be there with you every step of the way. We'll let you know what to expect and how much it will cost before any building begins.
WE DON'T SELL, WE EDUCATE.
We're never going to lay a heavy sales trip on you. Instead, we'll listen to you, and then offer some suggestions at a variety of price points. The final decision is up to you. No upselling and we are not change order driven.
WE WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET.
There aren't going to be any surprises at the end of your project. Sure, you might fall in love with a tile that is a little beyond your budget. But we'll let you know and even try to make up for it in other portions of the project.
WE BELIEVE IN ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS.
You'll have the same architect, interior designer, and project manager for the duration of your project. That way, they know every detail of your project, and the reasons why certain choices were made. This provides you with a more proactive service and greater continuity. You are backed by Gregg Cantor and Rachel Cantor, the 3rd and 4th generations in the family business.
YOU BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE.
Since we were established in 1975, we've learned a thing or two along the way. We can usually spot a situation before it becomes a costly problem, and we are always considerate of our clients budget.

Company History
The company was started by Robert McDonald in May of 2000 when he felt the need to provide higher quality service and products to the construction industry in Southeastern Wisconsin. The desire was to meet the challenging needs and high level of customer demands with Integrity, Superior Service and Unmatched Warranties. Based on the Southwestern corner of Milwaukee County in the City of Franklin, he formed Excel Custom Contractors, LLC. Excel Custom Contractors currently serves the entire Southeastern Wisconsin, Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois communities. We proudly searve Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Brookfield, Franklin, Oak Creek, New Berlin, Pewaukee, Hartland, Lake Geneva and surrounding areas.
It was with the idea of providing ‘custom’ized customer service, to meet the unique individual tastes and product performance goals of his customers. Today Excel Custom Contractors has grown into a mid-sized Residential and Commercial General Contracting and Remodeling Company that can handle any size project from the foundation to the roof. Excel Custom Contractors prides itself in doing the best job the right way the first time, this ensures our customers will get what they expect from both their product choices and quality construction installations.

Together with their combined expertise and knowledge of products and skillful installations Excel Custom Contractors is positioned to continue to grow and enhance its offerings to its every expanding customer base.
Robert McDonald
I’m a business entrepreneur, and I consider myself a visionary. I’m always looking to improve on the status quo, and build better projects. I look for more intuitive processes as well as ways to provide higher quality. My soft skills include thinking out of the box, creativity, and trouble-shooting. I see challenging projects as opportunities rather than obstacles. I highly value work well-done, so that means I’m often particular in how we build things. I strive to build things to last, and my ultimate goal is to see our customers experience complete satisfaction with our work.
