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

Awesome coordination of the building process. Great communication along the way. Having no surprises was amazing.
Lainey S.
Chris Pesola, our builder, was amazing and kept everything together and on track with the crew. If there was a problem, he got it fixed and was ready to answer any questions we had or anything we didn't understand. I give him a great rating for his service.
Dave F.
They went the extra mile to make sure every aspect of the build was reviewed and that the job was done correctly. our architect drew the plans with the wrong roof pitch. We were amazed that Wausau could re-draw them with a 6/12 roof pitch. There were no hidden charges our unexpected price increases during the build.

I appreciated the detail with which Chris Pesola provided me throughout the process.

We will surely recommend Mike & Marissa to all our friends! We carry a stack of their cards with us! Can’t wait for friends to build with them! A truly remarkable experience! The best in the north woods!

Quality and on schedule!
Review in Manitowish Waters, WI
Very open and communication was good. Knowledgeable and gave us many ideas and pointers on some decisions. The subs they had were all very competent and respectful. As were the individuals employed by Wausau Builders or Northern Advantage Builders. Home construction very good.

Review in Sugar Grove, IL
Ron D'Aversa was our builder. He made the process so user friendly! I have suggested his name and wausaus name to MANY people!
Steve K.
Darren & Chad are extremely easy to work with & their preferred teams of subcontractors are top notch & professional in every way.
Tyler S.
Dustin brought to life everything that we envisioned. We just showed him a picture of what we wanted and told him our own little twist on it, and he made it happen.
Brandon D.
Chris and Brian were always available to us and made a big effort to make sure our goals were met, changes we decided on were made and adapted to and everything was kept up on and moving forward as fast as possible. They really went above and beyond for us and we are very grateful for it.
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.
