Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a sauna kit I already bought?

Absolutely. If you’ve purchased a pre-built or modular sauna, our professional installers can handle full assembly, electrical connections, ventilation, and final system testing to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Are saunas energy efficient for Milwaukee homes?

Yes. Today’s saunas are built with efficiency in mind. Infrared saunas use minimal electricity, and traditional saunas can be very cost-effective when properly insulated. We help Milwaukee homeowners choose heaters and controls that balance performance with energy savings.

What wellness benefits do saunas provide?

Regular sauna use may help relieve stress, support muscle recovery, improve circulation, promote deeper sleep, and encourage detox through sweating. Steam saunas are often used for skin and respiratory benefits, while infrared saunas are popular for joint and muscle recovery.

Do you work only in Milwaukee, or surrounding areas as well?

We serve Milwaukee and the greater Southeast Wisconsin area, including Wauwatosa, Shorewood, West Allis, Brookfield, Mequon, and nearby communities.

Are saunas safe for kids and older adults?

Yes, when used responsibly. Shorter sessions at lower temperatures are recommended for children, and seniors often prefer gentler heat options like infrared. We incorporate safety features such as timers, proper ventilation, and easy-entry doors into every design.

What sauna styles do you install in the Milwaukee area?

We design and install indoor saunas, outdoor saunas, infrared saunas, steam saunas, commercial saunas, and provide professional pre-built sauna installation. Each sauna is customized for local climate conditions and building requirements.

How much should I budget for a custom sauna in Milwaukee?

Indoor residential saunas often start between $6,000–$8,000. Outdoor, steam, or larger custom builds typically range from $10,000–$20,000 or more. Commercial projects vary based on size and safety requirements. We offer free consultations with detailed pricing.

Do I need a large home to add a sauna?

Not at all. Saunas can be built into compact spaces such as bathrooms, closets, or spare rooms, as well as larger basements or outdoor areas. We design around your available space, not the other way around.

What sets you apart from other sauna contractors in Milwaukee?

We focus exclusively on sauna design and installation—not mass-produced retail units. Our team manages the entire process, uses high-quality materials, and provides ongoing support long after installation is complete.

What is Milwaukee Custom Saunas?

Milwaukee Custom Saunas is a locally focused sauna builder specializing in custom residential and commercial sauna installations. With years of hands-on experience, we design saunas that fit Milwaukee homes, lifestyles, and weather conditions.

What materials and heaters do you use?

We build saunas using premium woods such as cedar, hemlock, and spruce, chosen for durability and comfort. Heating options include traditional electric heaters, infrared panels, and steam systems from trusted manufacturers.

How long does a typical sauna installation take in Milwaukee?

Most residential sauna projects are completed within 1–3 weeks, depending on design complexity and site conditions. Pre-built sauna installations can often be completed in a single day. Commercial projects may take longer due to permitting and safety requirements.

What’s the first step to getting a sauna installed?

Call us at (414) 441-5599 to schedule a free consultation. We’ll review your space, discuss sauna options, and provide a detailed estimate tailored to your needs.

Can a sauna be installed in a Milwaukee condo or apartment?

In many cases, yes. Compact and infrared saunas are popular choices for condos and apartments. We evaluate electrical capacity, ventilation needs, and HOA or building requirements before moving forward.

Will my home need special electrical or ventilation upgrades?

Most saunas require a dedicated electrical circuit and proper airflow. We’ll assess your existing setup and coordinate with licensed electricians if any upgrades are necessary.

Why choose an outdoor sauna in Wisconsin?

Outdoor saunas offer year-round enjoyment—from snowy winter evenings to crisp fall nights. Designed to handle Wisconsin’s weather, they add both relaxation and visual appeal to your outdoor space.

Is it safe to use a sauna every day?

Yes, daily sauna use is generally safe when done responsibly. Most users enjoy sessions lasting 15–30 minutes. During installation, we explain proper temperature settings, session timing, and safe usage guidelines.

Can adding a sauna increase home value in Milwaukee?

Yes. Wellness features are increasingly desirable, and a professionally installed sauna can enhance resale appeal—especially in competitive neighborhoods and newer developments.

How much maintenance does a sauna require?

Sauna maintenance is minimal. Regular wiping of surfaces, proper ventilation after use, and occasional resealing for outdoor saunas are usually sufficient. We also provide detailed care instructions and optional maintenance support.

Are infrared saunas a popular choice in Milwaukee?

Yes. Infrared saunas are especially popular in smaller homes, condos, and apartments due to their energy efficiency and compact footprint. They’re also favored by fitness-focused homeowners.
