As the Midwest’s leading homebuilder, Wausau Homes has over 60 years of experience, making the process stress-free from start to finish.
THE WAUSAU HOMES HISTORY
Over the last 60 years, Wausau Homes has refined a system of controlled construction that has revolutionized the industry. Wausau Homes originated as a dairy route in rural Marathon County Wisconsin. The Schuette Brothers used profits from that modest milk route to purchase a sawmill, where raw timbers were processed into framing lumber.
After the war, the brothers developed that sawmill into a one-stop building center, where contractors could purchase all of their materials for home construction from one source. With all the elements for home construction in place as their building center, the brothers tinkered with a revolutionary concept that grew to become Wausau Homes Incorporated.
WHAT SETS US APART
Wausau Homes started out as a lumberyard in the 1950s in Wausau, Wisconsin servicing local builders, but believed there had to be a better way to build homes. So we pioneered, and for nearly 60 years we fine-tuned a complete building system that is recognized as one of the best in the industry.
We work exclusively with carefully chosen independent professional custom home builders in local markets because they know the local codes and regulations, they have established relationships with reputable subcontractors in the area, and they are the most suited to do the best job for you. Your Wausau Homes Builder will help you with every step of the homebuilding process to make it a stress-free experience. Hide

Amy L.
Happy with our home in the end. Builder addressed issues or questions quickly. Frustrations with the timeline decreased the overall excitement we experienced building a new house but I expect that’s a common issue no matter what builder you go through.
Review
The structure was built soundly but the sub contracting left all to be desired...shoddy plumbing and hvac, Let the owner choose the subcontractors
Brian H.
The team was helpful and walked us through the build process, with which we were not familiar. They worked with us to re-create the home we lost to fire, nearly to a T, for which we are extremely grateful.
Scott K.
The team at Wausau Homes Elkhorn supported us every step of the way, offering suggestions in design and options when we ran into issues.
Review in Delavan, WI
Greg and Julia were warm, personable, and incredibly supportive during the design phase of the project. They were very knowledgeable about different options and helped me make good decisions so that design choices were within my budget. The initial process from design, to contract, to framing was incredibly efficient.
David D.
Our Wausau home was built in a very timely manner. We had very little setbacks or problems in our process. Our General Kory Belmont ALWAYS answered his phone when we called him, that was by far the most important thing we felt in our total journey in our process to the finish line !!!! We had no idea of the Quality of Wausau Homes because we came in Blind about the Company with no Referral in hand ?? Very Happy with Kory & Crew along with the Wausau Homes Company !!! We will HIGHLY RECOMMEND KORY & CO. FOREVER !!! Thanks Kory for making our Journey easy & painless !!! David & Bonnie Dols - Richmond, MN.
Decker D.
The homes are beautiful and high-quality. And what the builder says he’ll do and he does it in a timely fashion.
Tom R.
Mike and TJ and their crews were/are attentive to our questions and come up with suggestions and solutions to questions we had before and during the build.
Review in Freedom, WI
I would recommend Wausau Homes, but with a word of caution that you need to be prepared to follow up consistently and often to get action. If you don't, they will not prioritize your build until it becomes absolutely necessary.
Gene C.
Nick and Matt were fantastic to work with. Both are great communicators and were very responsive to our questions. We are very pleased with the overall quality of our new home.
Nancy J.
Solid local knowledge with a strong team & subcontractors
Ken B.
We were extremely impressed with the panelized construction. Our realtor and contractor were very effective explaining the entire process which made our retirement home a dream come true. All in all, it was a positive and memorable experience!

Dave S.
Everything was smooth beginning to end, all obstacles were dealt with professionally & fairly, could not be happier with my experience
John B.
The quality is superior to other builders.
Renn K.
Our contractor was so caring and committed from day one. He was open to our ideas and in regular communication with us, always pleasant & quick to respond to our many questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to get us through the building (and finishing) project.
However there is disappointment with the Wausau Homes factory construction sending us a large damaged window and 3 faulty windows.
Duane S.
Home was built in a timely manner. Subcontractors lined up well and went smoothly. Subcontractors did good work.
Joe V.
Everyone associated with Wausau was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with.
Jen A.
Very happy with the level of communication throughout the build and their ability to find ways to work within my budget.
Mike L.
With a contractor the most important thing is that they do what they say they will do. With Ingersoll, they did exactly what they promised. Very transparent and up front on everything. Great business to work with.
Travis W.
The house is awesome. The rest of the contractor stuff, I did not care for.
Ron T.
I would definitely recommend Wausau Homes Tomahawk.
Laura K.
From the very beginning of our journey building with Nick and Matt Hacker, the experience has exceeded expectations. I recommend them to everyone who is thinking about building a new home and have the built by Wausau Homes proudly displayed in my yard.
