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

I would definitely recommend Wausau Homes Tomahawk.

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.

The contractor was a great person to deal

Wausau homes (Ironwood) were great people to work with. They kept me informed and stuck to the timeline that was laid out. Their customer service was excellent.
Tim S.
They were on target to the day. Expensive, yes. They did a nice job. The follow up was excellent. Jason responded to my concerns and did not stop providing service long after the one year warranty.
Brad M.
I have already recommended Terry at Wausau Homes in Medford to numerous people. Some have gone on to build as well and have been pleased also

Quality work, reliable, and great to work with.

We really appreciated the attention to detail that Dustin, the owner and contractor at Wausau Waverly, shared with us throughout the build. His input made a big difference and helped us feel confident in our decision-making. My husband and I have never had a house in our 42 years of marriage, so this experience working directly with Dustin at Wausau Waverly was especially meaningful. The team, including the local subcontractors Dustin hired, was friendly and kept everything running smoothly, which made the whole process much less stressful than we expected. We’re truly thrilled with how our home turned out and grateful for the care and craftsmanship that went into it. We would absolutely recommend them to friends.

The quality of the materials and workmanship was surprisingly high. We are in love with our little cabin in the woods
Bruce C.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team! They were on time, communication was top drawer. The quality of our lake home is absolutely wonderful.

Building a home can be an overwhelming process. Wanke Builder made us feel like we were their only clients throughout the entire process.
Mark H.
we liked the actual building process, when the trucks showed up with the walls, rafters and how they set them in place with the crane, three days later the house is dried in.

The contractor, B2 Build Design, was exceptional to work with and provided the utmost attention to detail.
Howard B.
Mike Brighum was great to work with and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He is not just building a house for you. He wants to make sure you will be happy in it. He goes above and beyond what you think a builder would do.
Cari A.
I was very impressed by the final quality of the home.
Mark M.
Great product, and very well built
Review in Grand Rapids, MN
I have never gone through building a home before so I don't have anything to compare it to. We had a few bumps and frustrations, but throughout it all John was approachable, easy to work with and I completely trusted him to get the job done and do it right. In the end we have a beautiful home in record time!
Review in Bovey, MN
John and Scott Baker were very pleasant to work with.

Mike and his team were easy to work with, kept their promises, and delivered a high quality home in the time frame originally discussed.
Review in Withee, WI
My builders have paid attention to all my questions and helped me whenever I needed help. I could t ask for better service.
Julia I.
maybe add neighbor to the sentence? friend or neighbor?
Zach S.
The cost, combined with how many issues we have had post build have been frustrating. We did not expect to be spending so much time living in construction.
Dave H.
Mike Johannes was AMAZING to work with. He was spot on with every last detail on this project. it turned out better than we could have ever imagined.
