Jeremy & Jason (J&J) run a tight ship. Very good communication and response. Very timely and on schedule in spite of supply line issues. Well done. Good workmanship, great follow up. Very expensive, but we built in 2021. Joe Biden is president so EVERYTHING is expensive & over priced. So, not WHM fault. Very professional and very pleased overall. Good company.

The material supply issues required us to "settle" with available choice options, otherwise certainly agree to recommend to others.

Contact
Contact - I drove past the Wausau Homes complex near Wausau for years and it just made sense in Wisconsin to get it done that way so it could be built during the winter, inside.
Differentiating Factors
Differentiating Factors - He knows the area where we built. His subcontractors are dependable. We trusted him.
Tim S.
Attentive, responsible, timely. They were right on target with their plans from day one. We moved in one week later than anticipated (Dec 6) from their intended date in March. The crews were pleasant and professional; did their jobs in a timely manner, for the most part. There were a few supply chain issues but everything went off as planned. Their follow-up is on point. Jason & Jeremy are a very good outside- inside team; both doing their jobs well. Jason kept the job site moving forward and Jeremy ALWAYS responded to needs or questions. Well done.
Brad M.
I have already recommended them to several folks!

Additional Comments - Crazy how many decisions there are to make even when much is pre-planned. And yet Terry Steinman was very easy to work with!
Chris B.
The build was fine until the end, items still need to be completed, both kitchen faucets are faulty, one leaked water all over my basement and you are not standing behind the product, Jeremy did not handle it well.
Dave L.
Very responsive. Communicates great and subs all speak very highly. Our cabinet make was also very impressed at the blue prints and note displayed on site,, very neat and clean site for him to work.

Crew Professionalism
Crew Professionalism - All were definitely courteous. The gentleman who put in the master bathroom mirrors was very nice about showing us the problem with the medicine cabinets I had chosen, and together we figured out a way to solve the problem. He was extremely patient with us!
Contact
Contact - We were living in a Wausau Home that my daughter and her husband had built in 2002, in Greenwood. Also my mother and brother had Wausau Homes, many years ago.
Differentiating Factors
Differentiating Factors - We didn't contact any other builders. We met with Terry Steinman, of Wanke Builders. Terry does a very good job of explaining how the process works and the different options we had. Also we spent our winter in AZ, so it was very nice to have Wanke Builders over-seeing the project. They started building the house itself February 15.
Jeremy K.
Terry Steinman was excellent to work with from beginning to end. He lays out a plan and sticks to it. He has a good group of contractors that get the job done well and in a timely manner.

Scott E.
From the first phone conversation with our builder Wanke Builders it was a A+ experience. Never once did we feel uncomfortable asking questions or making changes throughout our design process. Terry was in constant contact with updates, questions to confirm our desires and needs and extremely helpful in our selection process of styles and design options. They made the whole process zero stress and everything one would want in building a home.

Contact
Contact - As a child I always remember driving by the factory in Wausau going up north with my parents and when we decided to start our search we always remembered seeing he model homes on the side of the freeway so they were the first company we thought of and after doing research into their products we knew it was the brand for us.

As a preferred flooring subcontractor for Wausau Homes Medford, I have watched the Wausau Homes process for years and worked with many happy new home customers. When we decided to build a new home last year-choosing a home builder was relatively easy. Designing our custom home was enjoyable--Terry was quickly able to take our ideas and generate renderings and 3-D views, making it much easier to visualize what our home would look like. Watching this home being erected on set day in June was rather remarkable to watch. We couldn't be happier with our new Wausau Home--it truly is home.

We cannot say enough good things about the exceptional customer service we received from WH Medford. It was a rare day that one trade or another was not at the site. Someone from WH Medford was on site almost daily also. Everything was well organized and anytime we had a question we got answers immediately.

In addition we liked that the Medford office is close to our build site, we felt that they would (and they did) have good relationships with the local trades.

Differentiating Factors
Differentiating Factors - Timing. House was up and move in ready in just over 3 months. Ease of picking out various items for the house. The Wanke Builders showroom condensed everything down and allowed us to select most of the options (shingles, siding, cabinets, fixtures, etc) in a few hours where normally that would have taken weeks or even months.
