A fantastic experience!
All-around good experience with Wausau. Our house was built during a tough winter season in 2023. Quite an accomplishment - 9 months from set day to occupation. Not bad, considering.
The tomahawk, Minocqua team is absolutely the best to go through.
Generally a good experience. Happy with outcome.
As much of a headache it was to build a house Wausau homes built us a beautiful, sound, comfortable home. It's exactly what we envisioned.
Very professional. Great communication. Cost came in higher than expected mostly due to JB and his administration.
Mike Brighumm worked diligently to meet our budget and design for our retirement home in Boulder Jct. WI. We couldn't be happier.
Final Design - Mike Brighumm listen to my design elements I wanted to incorporate. He offered his own ideas/suggestions together with Marisa to the table which we incorporated. Our home exceeds our expectations. Superior craftsmanship together with good communication between the trades and the Wausau Homes team. We will definitely recommend The Wausau Homes to friends. They build a solid home that we know will weather the northern woods elements.
Builder Professionalism - Very much so!!!! We could contact our builder anytime. Mike shared his direct cell phone number. Since we were working long distance, our means of communication was by phone, emails and texting. Both Mike and Marisa along with the office team and suppliers work very efficiently and effectively to keep all informed on the same page.
Crew Professionalism - Very much so!!! The Wausau construction team were very hospitable and professional. The team on "set" day worked amazedly efficient who had the entire home stick built by the end of the day as promised by Mike Brighumm. All the individual trades during the construction were friendly and professional with great workmanship skills. Our home displays beautiful decorative elements thanks to the excellent craftsmanships from the trades hired by Wausau Homes.
Satisfaction - Mike Brighumm kept using the term "tight house" as we worked together on the planning stages of our home. He was right! Our home is rock solid - with warm windows, doors and a dry crawl space or as Mike calls it - "mini basement". The decorative elements exhibits superb craftsmanship throughout our home. We couldn't be happier.
I have already recommended our builder to others. Everyone was so easy to work with, friendly, and so experienced at what they do. This is the fourth house we've built, and the experience, as well as the final product, are the best we've had!
Final Design - We couldn't be happier with the design of our home! Getting to that final design was a joy, too. They helped us understand the decisions and choices we had to make, presented options for consideration, and provided updated plans with the latest changes. No surprises. We were always kept on top of things.
Builder Professionalism - Everyone was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Wonderful experience!
Crew Professionalism - Whenever we came by, we were treated very well. Wausau Homes must instill great customer relations in all their people.
Builder Satisfaction - At our meeting for the walk-through of the completed home, they did an excellent job of showing us several features we might not have otherwise thought to look into. Details were also provided on all important systems and what to do if we encountered any issues at all. They will follow up with us, too, as we approach a year in the house to be sure we have no unresolved issues.
Additional Comments - I would encourage anyone planning to build to contact Wausau Homes in Minocqua at the earliest possible time. We started talking with them before we'd even found our property. They worked with us through the whole time.
I highly highly recommend this Wausau Homes Builder to anyone looking for a quality professional job and extremely professional workers. Cudos!!
We had an excellent experience in the building of our new home.
The team at Wausau Homes took great care throughout all phases from the design, to planning, to execution of our project.

We've built several homes and this has been far the best experience we have ever had. I cannot say enough good things about Wausau Homes Minocqua!
Final Design - We are THRILLED! Mike and Marisa helped us customize and tweak a plan to make this our perfect lake house.
Schedule - The original move in date was supposed to be around Thanksgiving, but that got pushed back to December 18th. I do not feel however, that it was Wausau Home's fault or issue. It was due to COVID and the shortage of materials and delays caused by companies having to shut down due to covid.
Satisfaction - There were some items that needed to/need to be completed/fixed after our move in date, but they have been quite responsive and quick to come out to address the issues.
Builder Satisfaction - After COVID, they will be invited to a BBQ at our lake house so we can share our dream that they helped make come true.
Contact - We were interested in purchasing a vacant lot and were looking for reasonable, quality builders in the Minocqua area.
Differentiating Factors - We interviewed 4 or 5 builders. It came down to Wausau's plan was comprehensive and we felt there would be less surprises. Also, it was a feeling of trust.
Contact - Family friend recommended
Differentiating Factors - Wausau homes was my first and only choice
Contact - Initially worked with another builder but found they mislead me so switched to Wausau homes. Found them to be honest, straight forward, and provided guidance/options to help me find tradeoffs to stay within my budget but still have the house I was hoping for.
Differentiating Factors - Transparent, professional...strong customer focused approach to their work.
Areas of Improvement - No...very satisfied. Delays were weather related and to be expected.
