CUSTOM HOME BUILDERS IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN

Our Profile

How We Started

One of our owners, Luke, attended Antigo High School where he was a part of the carpentry class that built a house as a part of this class. This was his start in home building. He was hired out of high school by a skilled trim carpenter that taught him attention to detail and the rest is history.

Luke and Becki started Schwanz Custom Homes in 2004. They have worked hard to keep up with advancements in the trades and in energy-efficient ways to build.

I'm using Schwanz Custom Homes to renovate and expand a family lake property. I find Becki to be extremely professional, timely, responsive and straightforward with all aspects of the project. This is truly a custom job, and so far, it's been a great experience.

Becky brings her A game. Kept us very involved through the process and had a lot of good ideas. We were very happy with the final design and the timeliness of getting the project done. Also, very easy to work with.

Excellent work—highly recommend! We have been looking forward to retiring near Antigo, but bad experiences with a home renovation and pool repair in a different state made us wary of trying to get a house built, and we had put it off for several years. Finally we searched online and saw many positive reviews for Schwanz Custom Homes, so we decided to see how the process went. We were prepared to call it off if things didn’t seem right. Well, that never happened. We are so glad we went with Schwanz and could not be happier with the process or the results. Luke managed the construction at the site and kept things humming, with work often continuing even on nights and weekends. Becki helped us develop the plans and worked with us every step of the way from choosing a general layout to advice on flooring and plumbing, etc., and working with subcontractors at the end to take care of the few things that needed to be fixed or adjusted. Becki was very accommodating with our schedules and working over Zoom or showing us pictures when we couldn’t be there in person to figure out details such as the lighting plan. When a few things we wanted weren’t going to work, Becki took the time to explain the problem and help us find an alternative. She was always professional and knowledgeable about our project and helped to keep things moving. We are very happy with the house Schwanz Custom Homes built and highly recommend them.

We Interviewed several builders before selecting Schwanz Custom Builders for our new lake house. Becki is just wonderful, helped in modifying and customizing a floor plan. She's very detailed and organized and is great with open lines of communication. Luke and Elijah and their crew are super also, the house went up so fast. They are very dedicated under Luke's supervision. We can't say enough about how pleased we are with the progress being made! We feel very fortunate to have found them for our dream house!!
