From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! “

Megan and Phil H, Erin, WI

“Hi Jeff, You built our house about 3 years ago. We love the house! I wanted to send you a note on a slightly different topic.

This is related to one of the companies that you had us work with to install our septic tank.  Two brothers Terry and Bob. I know you work with them for all your houses. But on Friday night I sent a text to the two brothers with a concern.  First thing Saturday morning they texted and called me. Even though it was a Saturday they came right over to my place.  Looked at everything and figured out the issue.  Solved it and gave us feedback so it never happens again. Just thought you would like to hear a nice story of how your subcontractors go above and beyond to support that customer service experience!  Thanks.”

Jim & Michelle G. New Berlin

“We love our home and couldn’t be happier with you and your team. Have a great day! Thanks, Jeff!”

(Returned to have their lower level finished.)

Jennifer and Frank G. New Berlin

“Our Horwath Construction Team did a fantastic job throughout our building process!  We had heard great things about your company and your excellent reputation and loved your Meadowridge model.  We also had a fantastic experience!  Your carpenters framing our house were an impressive group. Your painters were amazing.  Countertop people, Julie was great to work with.  Ariel from lighting supplier was very helpful.  Appliance supplier was great.  Nina was outstanding and very knowledgeable and helped us stay within budget, and our tile installer was also top notch.  We gave a 10 to your Office Staff, Construction Manager and the Plan Design & Price!  Your masons, framers, siders, plumbers, hvac, insulators, drywallers, fireplace, finish carpentry, painters, appliance, lighting, flooring people were also all a 10.  We would definitely recommend you – thank you for building our dream house!”

Jeff & Kaylee B. Hartland

“Despite the supply issues and all of the challenges through the pandemic e could not have chosen a better, more suitable builder to work with.  We are beyond satisfied with our dream home.  We truly feel we have become part of the Horwath family through this process.  Chris, our Horwath Construction Manager, made himself very available and went above and beyond.  He was excellent from day one, very patient and understanding.  He took the time to explain the process for us at each step.  We loved your office staff.  Your sider did amazing work.  Finish carpenters were phenomenal.  Painter was awesome and communicated well.  All of your crews were very polite and professional!”

Shane and Gina H. Hubertus

“I am so excited for the closing!  This is by far my favorite home, out of the three we’ve built with you, and hopefully our last, LOL!!   Another spectacular home built by Horwath Family Builders.  I must compliment all of the subs as each and everyone of them have been exceptional to work with.  Their craftsmanship is top notch!!  As for Mike Grass,  Mike and I were very lucky to have him as our expeditor on this project.  He has done a fabulous job and so very well organized.  Last but not least, all of you ladies in the office are amazing. I do not know how you keep up with everything that comes your way but there was never a time you made me feel like any question was not important and answered it quickly or found a way to solve the problem.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  I truly appreciate what you do.”

Beth & Mike K. New Berlin

” Hi Jeff,  We are so freaking excited for the finished product and that day that you put the keys in our hands. We know this is a massive project. We are living in some uncertain times for sure. One thing is very clear, Gina and I are very blessed and fortunate that we have the “Horwath team” on our side throughout. We could not imagine going through this with any other builder. We have faith that everything happens for a reason and when the time is right, our dream home will be ready and provide years of memories for our family. Thank you for your continued excellence and can’t wait for our future home to officially join in the Horwath history books!!! “

Shane & Gina H. Richfield

“Hi Jeff, Thanks so much for the letter with updates. We have had an amazing experience so far and Chris has been a great communicator. He has gone above and beyond on everything! Seriously. We could not have asked for a better experience.”

Cathy and Matt D. Lisbon

“We’re very happy.  We loved our Construction Manager Pat, and Autumn, Mary, Jeff – everyone.  We wanted a builder we could trust and knew from day one that you were that builder.  All of your subs were very nice, and your painter was really good.”

Brian & Jasmine O. Richfield

“We’re confident that we have a home with much higher quality than other new houses. All of your subcontractors and suppliers proved that to be true.”

Dave & Kelsey S. Delafield

“I am not sure where to even begin in expressing my gratitude and satisfaction throughout this entire building process.  When I met Jeff, I knew right away he would be our builder.  He took the time to meet with me when we didn’t even have a lot picked out.  Right away, he was someone we could trust.  We knew he had a great reputation and built high-quality homes, but we didn’t know if he would be in our budget.  I learned that he can be in anyone’s budget and is very fairly priced, especially for the quality you receive as his customer.  He also makes you feel like your house is priority no matter the size.

When we started to design our home, Jeff took a ton of time meeting with us, answering my ridiculous amount of emails almost immediately, and never once made me feel like I was bothering him.  Jeff and his staff are caring, timely, and very knowledgeable.  There was never once a time where I was waiting long for an answer or response which goes a long way.  Jeff is also very personable, and we enjoyed each time we got to meet with him in person.  He is probably one of the busiest people imaginable, but he never rushes you and truly takes the time to make sure everything is correct and that you are satisfied.  Plus, he has some funny jokes and is just fun to be around.  Everyone that works for Jeff is also amazing, helpful, and accommodating to their customer’s needs.  Mary is so kind, organized and prompt.  Autumn has great taste and helped bring creative ideas to life.  Jeff L, our Construction Manager was very flexible, easy and a pleasure to work with and we appreciate his weekly updates.

Everything in our home came together so nicely and we could not love our home anymore!  It is all thanks to Jeff and everyone at Horwath Family Builders.  We truly feel like we are a part of Horwath Family Builders and everyone makes you feel like you are family before, during and after the building process.  We cannot recommend them enough – you will not be disappointed!”

Katherine and Brad J. Colgate

“Overall, we had a great experience.  Excellent communication throughout the process.  ‘Would highly recommend!

Our Construction Manager did an outstanding job.  We have built before and this was a completely different experience.  Great communication and follow-up.  The Specification & Pricing process was very detailed.  We gave all of your people and your subcontractors/suppliers very high scores.  We especially enjoyed working with your lighting, appliance, cabinet and flooring suppliers.  Your electricians are great.  Cabinets are excellent.  Your painter was very thorough and reached out to us as needed.”

Rebecca and Patrick C. Brookfield

“We had an excellent experience.  Our Construction Manager, Pat, was excellent.  He was good at understanding stuff and communicated well.  We really liked his weekly updates.  He was on top of things all the time and knew the answers to our questions.  Mary was wonderful – we couldn’t do without her.   Autumn really helped us make good design choices, because that’s not our strong point and she made it easy for us.  Our finish carpenters and painters were really great.  Josh, who did our closets, was really helpful.  We were able to make all of our lighting selections on line and Ariel was very helpful.  Tony, our roofer, did a wonderful job and we give all the Horwath mechanical guys were top marks also.”

Dave & Beth V. Delafield

“All your people were excellent.  Your subcontractors and suppliers are exceptional.  Glen, our Field Manager, was excellent.  He took the bull by the horns to bring our home together very nicely.  Your septic people, rough carpenters, masons, excavator – all excellent.  Our elevator turned out excellent as well.   We had all tile floors and your installers were very, very good.  Your finish carpenters were excellent, and so were the plumbers and electrician.  We especially liked that your electrician took the time to walk through the entire house with us to make sure we liked where everything was located.  We’re very happy with how it all turned out.”

Bob & Jami R. Eagle

“Our Horwath Construction Manager was super-nice – he’s great.  We looked forward to his weekly updates.  Really, it couldn’t have been better.  Our favorite contractors/suppliers were your cabinet people, your carpet installers, painters and finish carpenters.”

Dave & Katie L. Lisbon

“Our experience was 99.9% perfect – thank you!  Your Office Staff, Autumn, Mary, Holly & Jane were a 10.    Your jobsite managers were a 10 at expediting, cleanliness, attention to detail, helpful, honest and doing walk-through’s with us.  The sales & design process was a 10 also.  We gave all your workers top scores and especially loved your closet people, carpenters, masons, siding guys, plumbers, electricians, drywallers, cabinet, finish carpentry, painting and fireplace people.”

Frank & Jennifer G., New Berlin

“Hi Jeff!  Well, I don’t know what to say, other than, I love my Horwath home! Thanks so much for working with us to get everything that we needed and wanted to squeeze into our budget.  I’m not sure if you remember walking the vacant lot with me before we bought it, but I remember it vividly. It was so much fun for me to walk the land and discuss ideas with you.  Thanks so much!”

Jen & Paul S, Brookfield

“DeDe and I want to compliment you for building a home for us that we believe is the most attractive home in our large subdivision, especially when it is viewed from the walking paths behind our home. The back view of the Horwath home stands out more than any home we have seen. It is truly an example of the quality of design for the front and rear of our Horwath home.”

Ralph & DeDe Oconomowoc

“You spoiled me from the last time we built.  You set the bar so high, that I wouldn’t consider building with anyone else!”

Carrie O, Brookfield

“We loved working with you guys.  It was an incredible experience.  You got to know us right away and truly listened to us and were transparent and helped us stay within our budget.  We thought everyone was excellent and tell all our friends about you.   We gave all of your staff and all of your subs and suppliers a 10!”

Doug & Marlee E, Lisbon

“Our experience with Jeff, Julie, Laura and staff was wonderful – you’re all very patient, nice and experienced.  Jeff, you really saved the day helping us transition from our first siding choice to what we have now.  We couldn’t be happier with our stone front and shake siding.  The design process was truly a collaboration.  We appreciate Jeff’s design-ability and insightfulness.  Your roofer was phenomenal, your electricians, finish carpenters and painters were especially outstanding.  The tile guys did a really nice job.  We gave a 10 to just about all of your team, subs and suppliers.  You build a quality, custom-built home and we’re very pleased with the end result.  We won’t hesitate to recommend you to family and friends.  Thank you all for our beautiful home!

Bruce & Kathy B, Chenequa

“From our first meeting in Jeff’s office to today’s closing in Jeff’s office, Sharon and I truly appreciate your guidance, patience and professionalism throughout the journey to building our third and final new home. Many things have changed since we last built 35 years ago. Your process is much more thorough and engaging. Following your lead, Sharon and I became immersed in the process as you skillfully passed the baton to the next in line. We were pleasantly surprised on many occasions by you and your army of subcontractors and suppliers who guided us through the process. At every step along the way, we felt that someone was always looking out for our best interests.  In our opinion, all of you and all of your partners performed above expectations.

All in all, building with Jeff Horwath Family Builders was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. We’re very proud of our new home and have received many favorable comments from family, friends, future neighbors and a few passersby who have seen what evolved outside and inside.  We look forward to being a part of the extended JHFB family of satisfied customers for many years. Keep doing what you do so well individually and collectively as a team. All the best for continued success”

Warren & Sharon E, Summit

“We are LOVING the entire building process with you and all your networks – fabulous individuals to communicate with and quality relationships in the making (in spite of winter shenanigans)! Couldn’t be more happy or impressed with all your ‘crews’ – from Brian to the carpenters, from flooring to appliances, from plumbing to electric – all exemplary folks. We thank you for the strong foundations you have fostered in your company that get passed on to families like ours.

May God continue to bless you and yours in abundance!”

Paul and Cheryl L, Brookfield

“Glen just stopped by our house to help us… Really appreciate that he got back to us today after he learned of our issue… your people are so helpful. Makes a difference to us!”

Julie & Paul M, Sussex

“Our experience was very good.  The communication was phenomenal, absolutely outstanding.  Your team was very accommodating – everyone was awesome!   They were patient and explained everything.   Everyday we were out at our house, something was happening and more was done.”

Rich & Lisa V. Richfield

“We have an absolutely beautiful home and are excited to move in.  It’s awesome – we can’t believe it’s our house.  Your rough framing crew was super nice and informative.  Everybody at your company was friendly, nice and helpful.”

Paul & Melissa D. Mukwonago

“Morning Jeff, I just wanted to give you a big special thank you for having Glen come out and help out yesterday.  He was absolutely relentless in helping me.  You are certainly blessed to have him as your Quality & Service Manager  – he’s an incredible guy.  So, we can’t thank you enough – it’s been eight years since we built with you guys and you certainly didn’t have to do anything for us, so I recommend your company to everybody we meet.  Thanks again, and God Bless you.”

Steve & Sue H. Mukwonago

“We have been in our new home for almost 2 months and with a “combined” family have never felt we had a real home for us.  With all of your help, you designed a “forever” home for us.  We could not be more grateful for what you all have done for us!!  We are truly blessed to have found such caring people that made us feel like family.   …our Construction Manager, Jeff L’s communication, dedication and promptness were superior – he’s a diamond in the rough.  Your staff were incredibly responsive and polite – very professional and helpful.  It was the exact house we needed.  Your design ability and responsiveness were tremendous!”

Jim & Kari P.  Elm Grove

Realtor comment:

“Jeff, we showed one of your existing homes to our real estate client who had looked at dozens of other homes to purchase.  Your Horwath home is absolutely gorgeous, and puts all of the others to shame!”

Annette B

“ I need to tell you that you and your team have helped put a smile on our faces everyday since last August. We are incredibly grateful for your support and priceless expertise in building our home.”

Kristi & Derek O. Franklin

“We officially closed today with and couldn’t be happier with the service and quality that we got from you and your team. The urgency, attention to detail, responsiveness and care that we got from everyone was above and beyond. We are so excited to start our little family in the beautiful home you built for us. Thank you very much for everything! We were blessed to have you as a builder. All the Best”

Emily and Craig P. Pewaukee

“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! No wonder you’re called “family” builders, because you guys feel like family to us. Julie and Laura were the absolute BEST! Scott & Glen were great! And we LOVE you, Jeff!!! Absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, everything was great and so much fun! We will miss you all so much!”

Nate & Fallon S. Brookfield

“We had such a great experience with you all. We absolutely LOVE our home and are so happy with how everything turned out. We can’t thank you enough! “

Jeremy & Afton B. Delafield

“Everybody in your organization, and all of your subs were a 10, except your painters were a 12! Your carpenters were awesome too!”

Jeff & Kim J. Merton

“Our experience overall was excellent. Being the first home…we are thrilled with the final product. Your subs are amazing! Thank you for everything!”

Greg & Carri O. Hartland

“Your team really cared and acted like it was their own home.  They gave us suggestions that we didn’t see, and we thought that was impressive.  The guys working on our house really knew their stuff, and were fun to be around.  The communication was great, and people did what they said they’d do.  Our weekly updates from Jeff, our Construction Manager were great.  We were also impressed with the nice Horwath discounts we received from the vendors; they compared very favorably vs. the internet, and we received professional selection advice, service, delivery, set-up, warranty and support that we couldn’t get from the internet.  Their advice was invaluable.  Friends saw pictures of our house and thought it was a show model from a magazine, because it looked so perfect!  All the little details mean so much and we loved the quality.  You did an unbelievable job and we couldn’t be happier!”

Todd & Monica M Jackson

A common remark I heard from many of the subs was how much they enjoyed working on Horwath homes, and a genuine desire to please the customer.  They all have ben very courteous and professional.  I am very proud to be a new owner of a Horwath home and will be eager to share our experience with all that ask.”

Steve & Mira H North Prairie

“We can’t get over how amazing the house is, Jeff!”

Nate & Fallons S. Brookfield

“I’m almost sad we are finished building.  You are all wonderful.  You make building stress-free.  I cannot say enough about the entire company.  Thank you!”

Kate & Tyler L. Mequon

“So great to hear from you–I hope you are doing well. Everyday, it amazes me, I say how much I love this house! It turned out very well inside and out.”

Ann and Dave K. Menomonee Falls

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with you.  We appreciate your help along the way and your quick response to any questions we had.  Thanks!”

Mike & Denise P. Menomonee Falls

“We love our Jeff Horwath home !! Many guests have told us our home is the highest quality home they have ever seen.”

Kelley B. Hartland

“Our building experience was perfect!  This is our 4th time building, first time custom – the way to go!  Fun, stress-free, highest quality, great people.  We thoroughly enjoyed working with Scott thru the entire process! We relied on his experience and expertise often and we appreciated his opinions.  Laura and Julie are the greatest!  They took all the stress out of the process  We can’t thank them enough – such a wonderful company.”

Brent & Benida K. Delafield

“Just wanted to share with you that we went out to the house after work and were just blown away with the changes on the house! The color is gorgeous.  It is so beautiful! We love love love the look!  Thanks so much!”

Elizabeth and Doug F. Richfield

“Jeff L, our Construction Manager, did a great job of providing clear explanations when we need them.  He is tremendously knowledgeable; he was a great source of information to us.  He consistently demonstrated a great deal of honesty and integrity. Jeff was wonderful at keeping us very well informed every step of the way and making himself available to us, as needed.  It was a pleasure to work with such a personable and considerate professional.  Laura was always enthusiastic, pleasant, and professional. We found her “eye for color” and her experience in making all the selections work together, to be a tremendous asset!  Laura’s help in making selections took all the fear out of building our first home and made it enjoyable & exciting for us.  I loved Laura’s candid, organized, and straightforward approach.  Every one that worked with us was consistently professional, respectful and eager to help.  It is obvious that great care was taken in selecting the best team to build our home.  The actions of the entire Horwath team reflected quality, dependability, honesty and integrity.  The most satisfaction we got in working with everyone during our building process was that we could cound on the fact that you wouldn’t overpromise, or underperform.  You exceeded our expectations every step of the way!…Thank you!”

Kris and Chuck F, Menomonee Falls

“Thanks again for all your attention to detail…we are very pleased to say we built a Jeff Horwath home.  We will most definitely tell everyone we know about the positive experiences we have had with you and everyone else who helps build a Horwath home!”

AnnMarie and Eric H, Brookfield

“Hi Jeff, Thanks again for your support during the Filipino Association’s Fundraising Gala. It was quite a successful evening and we raised a lot of funds for the Free Medical Clinic…My kids are almost graduating from High School and they keep telling us that the best thing they love about moving to Milwaukee is the house that we built with you and your team. They/we have had many wonderful memories in it with our family and friends from sleepovers to barbecues to numerous birthday parties, Christmas parties etc. Priceless memories indeed and we thank you for that!”

Regards,
Jo Anne C, Franklin

““I recently have been having an issue with my water heater. It would not fire up. I had to shut it off & restart it in order for it to finally kick back on. Being that it was only 7 years old, I reached out to Scott who was our point of contact when we built 7 years ago. I am very pleased and impressed by the professionalism & prompt return of my call by Scott. He called me back, and provided me some feedback about checking the vent for bird nests that may have caused the issue. When I checked it out, the vent did in fact have a bird nest obstruction in it. Since I have cleared out the birds nest, I have had no issues with the water heater. I thought it important that I reach out to you to commend Scott for his outstanding customer service. We have enjoyed our home over the last 7 years, and with the outstanding customer service provided by Scott, we would certainly recommend your company to friends, and use your company again if we decide to build in the future.”

Sincerely,
Chris & Barb K, Sussex

“I’m almost “sad” we are finished building.  You are all wonderful.  You make building stress-free.  I cannot say enough about the entire company.  Thank you!
Kate & Tyler L., Mequon

“Outstanding, I’ve built 3 homes and this is the first time I felt like my wants/needs regarding the home were important.  I would 100% build with Jeff Horwath again!!  You did everything you could to make the home build a hugely positive experience!!  Every single person who’s seen it absolutely loves it.  I have not had any problems at all, and Glen did an outstanding job – he’s followed up a few times also, to make sure everything is going well.  The quality of your contractors is Top Notch.  They were very helpful and made the selection process easier.  Extremely well done, Jeff and Staff.

Jeff S., Hubertus

“Good Morning Jeff,  I hope this finds you doing well.  Brian and I wanted to send a note regarding Glen, your service manager.  Glen has been an amazing resource to work with.  He is meticulous in approaching the issue.  He is always positive and is certainly customer service focused.  He represents Horwath Famiily Builders very well and we are very appreciative for all he does.  Thanks much!”

Becky and Brian M, Hartland

THIS IS A SPECIAL NOTE WE RECEIVED.

Mr. Horwath:

My wife, Paula, and I have the privilege of watching one of your new homes being constructed adjacent to our home…and it has been very enjoyable to see and talk with them through the process of lot purchase and now the construction of their new home. Paula and I wish to say thanks to you for having a number of very considerate subcontractors who are most cognizant of cleaning the worksite and getting debris, etc. into the dumpster, especially when the wind has blown things out.  The new home has been fun to watch and having had some issues with our builder, your people and subs obviously take great pride in the product they put forth. I wish we would have talked with you a couple of years ago. Keep up the good work; the home is beautiful.

Roger D, Mequon

“The house looks absolutely beautiful. Corey and Brandon (finish carpenters) are experts in their field and take great care in their work. Not to mention, they’re so nice! Also, I was happy to see Mike and Tim again; I have no idea how they can place tile using such precision. They are perfectionists at their job! We are having an incredible experience building our home. I feel like Jim, our Construction Manager, is family and I’m so happy to know him. I talk to him just as much as I talk to my mom! Laura and Julie at the office, give the most helpful advice and it’s always great to talk with them. Thanks, Jeff!”

Judy & Brian P. Mequon

“So great to hear from you–I hope you are doing well. Everyday, it amazes me, I say how much I love this house! It turned out very well inside and out.”
Ann and Dave K. Menomonee Falls

Hey Jeff,
Jasmeet, Simmi, and I just wanted to thank you for all that you and your wonderful staff did for us.  It was a dream that has been converted into a reality for us with our new home and we thank you.  We can’t wait to move in.  I appreciate your patience as well as every one else’s.  I also wanted to mention that i think Scott, our Construction Manager, did a great job.  And, we wanted to make a special note about Laura’s major contribution for us for our home.  She helped  us tremendously in getting over the hump of selections…..one of the best feelings we had was after the day she came out to the house and met Jasmeet to power through all the paint selections……everything seemed to get easy from there on.  Anyways, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.  I’m glad we chose you as our builder as the whole experience was done first class.  We look forward to working with you in the future when the time comes for the basement.

We had a great time working with you and your team. I think part of you being so good at what you do is the relations that you build with your clients at a personal level. I think the best way I can put our satisfaction working with you and your team in words is by saying we wouldn’t think twice about coming back to you if and when we build again. Thanks for everything and keep in touch.

Thanks again,
Jaspreet & Jasmeet S., Brookfield

“Andrea and I just wanted to take a minute to let all of you know that we’re loving our Horwath home. We really appreciate all everyone has done to make the building experience a terrific one! We notice lots of traffic driving by slowly to look at the house, and a few have even taken some pictures of it. We feel blessed to have such a nice home….Please share our thanks with all at the office!”

“We had an excellent building experience and would recommend Jeff Horwath Family Builders without hesitation!  Thank you!“

-Andy & Andrea B. New Berlin

“Hi Jeff, I hope all is well with you!  We have not forgotten about providing feedback to you and filling out our report card. We’ll get that to you next week. In the meantime, Glen, your service manager, has been fantastic… Every service business should have a Glen on their team. The level of customer support that Glen provides is off the chart!”

– Vlad & Tanya M., Delafield

“ Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated seeing Jim working on building the extra step in our theater room late this afternoon.  I stopped by the house at around 5:00 to snap a few photos, and to my surprise, Jim was working on this project rather than the carpenters who did the bulk of the work.  But, obviously the work was important enough to Jim (and the Horwath team) to see that it was taken care of without delay.  ‘Just wanted to pass along my appreciation for the attention to detail that the Horwath team continues to demonstrate.”

-Mike & Jennifer B. Dousman

“I just wanted to provide you a little feedback on how impressed Karen and I have been with the quality of the work for the Finish carpenters, Tile and the Painters.  All of their work has been great, we think the house is really turning out well.  It is apparent they take a lot pride in their work.  And not only is their work great, they all have been really easy to work with.  The build has been progressing well, its easy to recognize Scott has a strong skill set for managing the construction process.  We’re looking forward to moving in. “

-Kurt & Karen E.  Sussex

“We are absolutely thrilled with our home.  We were very apprehensive about building a home, but you and your staff made it an enjoyable experience.  We look forward to working with you again in the future.  Thanks!”

-Kory & Lisa H.  Sussex

“The house is so BEAUTIFUL! I have tears in my eyes when I look at everything. I can’t believe it was all just lines on a piece of paper before, and now it’s a dream come true! Thank you so much for a happy, easy and pleasant experience throughout! You guys are the BEST!!”

“We’re extremely happy & satisfied with your company, from beginning ‘til the end.  We found you on the internet and your website with all those video clips were the best.  It was a very personal approach with Jeff in the videos.  The homes were beautiful and the price was very reasonable for the quality & beauty of the product.”

-Jo Anne & Dino C. Franklin

“The house looks great!!! The neighbors are all complimenting you and are amazed at the incredible work ethic of all of your contractors—right now the drywallers!!! They are very nice—everyone has been— and it has been fun to watch! Thanks for the speed you are going! We are getting anxious and I know you are all doing everything you can to get us in!! “

Dave & Kim H.  Oconomowoc

“Just wanted to thank you for standing by and taking care of our service item. We were happy you guys responded and addressed; taking care of all little details. Our special thanks to Glen, your Service Manager. He was there every step of the way and we very much appreciate his efforts. He took care as if it were his own home. Glen, you are Jeff’s asset!”

-JK & Shashi R   Mequon

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. We can not thank you enough for all that you have done. You were awesome to work with! We appreciate your help along the way and your quick response to any questions we had. I cannot believe we are moving in!!! “

-Mike & Denise P.   Menomonee Falls

“Thank you so much for all of your help along the way with EVERYTHING! I meant to send a a note to your office (and I will) to thank everyone. With moving, a wedding, and our trip, I don’t know if I’m coming or going lately! Oh, by the way we LOVE our house! Words can’t explain it. Matt and I just said last night that living here feels like a dream. It’s so much better than we could have ever hoped for! I can’t wait to build another one some day!!! Thank you.”

-Erica & Matt  Franklin

“Matt and I stop out to the house every day now and we are falling in love more and more with each new addition that’s made! We can’t thank you all enough everything that you have done for us! “

-Erica & Matt  Franklin

Hi Jeff, I just thought I’d drop you a note to tell you how pleased I am with everything at the house. Everything is looking great and I have truly loved each and every one of the subcontractors. I feel like the house is being built by so many pleasant, positive and joyful people that it’s going to be a home truly filled with happiness. So, thank you!” Have a great day!

Kristen & Tom H.  Hartland

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the congrats. We were so excited to see the big hole yesterday! The building process has been a lot of fun so far, and we can’t wait to watch the progress. We feel lucky to be working with such a nice group of people. Have a great weekend!

-Shelley and DJ  Hubertus

“We’re absolutely loving our new home and always give very positive feedback to people who inquire how our “building experience” was. You’d be amazed (or perhaps not) at how many people we’ve met that have horror stories from other builders they have used. Thanks again for being first rate all the way (and that includes Scott).”

Joe & Jennifer R. Menomonee Falls 

“What an absolutely beautiful home we have! The words ‘Thank You’ just don’t seem to express adequately the appreciation and gratitude we have toward you and your staff. The building experience was absolutely great because of you, Jeff, and your staff. Thank you for always being available to us. When our previous house sold, you certainly showed us you cared, when you tried to help us find a place to live as well as helped move the building process along quickly at the end so we could move in sooner. We truly have a beautiful home – one that I can say was built by people who are very special, talented and caring people – you have instilled in all of them a caring and compassionate philosophy that has made this building experience so wonderful! Thank you so very much, again.” “Overall, Jim, our construction manager, was great all the way. Laura was awesome – great with follow-up; very thorough. Julie also was very knowledgeable and professional. Yvonne was always very willing to help us out when we first started looking at homes. Great staff. What can we say but, wonderful – our home is more beautiful than we even imagined it would be, Jeff.”

Marilyn & Wally P. New Berlin 

“We just celebrated our third year of living in a “Horwath Built Home” and can in all honesty say it’s still new. Recently we incurred an issue with our French door in the great room. I contacted the office and Laura responded with the necessary information. Mike Trexell over at Harris ordered the parts and it was delivered in two weeks. I decided to take on the responsibility to install the item myself and ran into an educational situation as I had never encountered hardware of this type. I left a message with Glen for help and got a welcomed surprise call on a Sunday evening to get me straight as to the installation of the hardware and its operation. After three years I still receive new home service thanks especially to Glen. Just last week I ran into Don and I would also like to extend thanks for his guardianship in the construction of our home. Finally it has been our pleasure working with Yvonne and prospective Horwath clients interested in visiting our home to get a feel and comfort zone of what quality is all about.”

Jim & Mary E. Hartland 

“We decided to build with your company, Jeff, after my wife fell in love with one of your model homes. We went thru this model numerous times. We even looked at other builders to see just how good your homes really were. It was an easy decision. We bought a piece of land, and went thru the process of designing, and building our dream home. The whole process was amazing. You are truly a wonderful builder, person, and your staff and subcontractors all cared about the quality of our home as if it were theirs. The quality is top rate, and the comments we get on our home, make us happy we did what we did. When the day comes that we decide to build again, Jeff Horwath will be our only call.”

Rich & Tamara B. Richfield

“Thanks for sending Glenn, your Service Manager, over. I told him this is one of many reasons you are a different builder. One that is truly a star. Most builders do not want to hear back from a customer once the house is done and the warranty is over. We put your name out there often to people talking about building. I will let you know what happens between Vetter and us.”

Rich & Tamara B., Richfield

“Jim, our Construction Manager was a 10. Anyone that can put up with me for that long deserves a 10! Your Office Staff was outstanding, very, very helpful and patient. Thanks to Yvonne, Laura, Julie, Mary Kay and Jane! We had a very pleasant experience and will continue to recommend you to anyone who is looking for a quality builder.”

Joel & Lori W. New Berlin 

“Jeff, we feel you were honest and fair with us. You offered reasonable and fair solutions and addressed every issue we had. Scott was professional, courteous, and patient throughout the entire process. If we build again, we would love to have him as our expeditor. Your office was also patient and helpful with our questions, and excellent with communication and follow-up – they were a pleasure to work with. Your plumbers were excellent, with prompt service; Ingrid is very professional and very flexible. Your electricians were excellent and we are very happy with the tile work – Tim was very helpful, patient and professional. We are happy with our experience with Jeff Horwath Family Builders and would build with you again, and recommend you to others and gladly serve as a reference.”

Ria & Djerrick T. Brookfield 

“The Horwath difference was noticed in your office staff; so much better than our previous two builders – excellent!! Julie was fantastic!! Very compassionate and very knowledgable. Mary Kay was fantastic – quick responses, no waiting!! And Jeff, your sales and design process was way above our previous two builders. The wood floor people did a beautiful job and were very friendly and helpful. Both the well and septic people were excellent – great companies. The masons were very high quality, and the HVAC, Drywall, Painting, and Tile people were excellent.”

Tom & Kathy I. Cedarburg 

“Thank you for helping me through-out the process. I am so pleased with the way everything turned out. All of you did a wonderful job and made my building experience truely enjoyable. Also thanks for reviewing all of my selection to make sure I didn’t pick out anything obnoxious lol. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Todd R – Hartland

“From the time we first met Yvonne and had the opportunity to tour a Horwath home we knew we had found the right people. We cannot think of anything that we wouldn’t rate as being the very best, mostly because of the people we put our trust in. Never having been through the building process before, we knew we had to whole heartedly believe in our builder and to know they had our best interests in mind. The entire building process was backed completely by the integrity of the Horwath team that we had the privilege to work with. If we didn’t love our home so much I would say we’d be looking forward to doing it all again! Jeff, you designed a home for us that meets our needs on every level, already a family of six and needing to add a complete space to include our Mom. You listened to what we were wanting and made adjustments to the size, style and design to match what we had always dreamed our home would look like. You should be so proud of the team you have assembled and the homes that you build – they match up with and represent well the beliefs we both share. Julie and Laura teamed together to answer our every question – regardless of how many there were sometimes. We felt every time that they had a complete honest answer for us that we could trust. We appreciated the many times that they used their expertise to guide us in our decision making both when we had no clue or when we thought we did and obviously didn’t! Their input to us was extensive and will always be appreciated. Don probably had to deal with me more than anyone and I don’t imagine his job was easy. Let me say that there wasn’t one time that I felt like Don didn’t have his entire being into the building of our home. He answered my every question thoroughly and with great integrity. I was well aware that the building process would present unforeseen challenges, changes and questions. Although they were kept to a surprising minimum, I knew that I could completely trust whatever Don shared with me. I was then able to make any decisions necessary and get back to what I do, leaving it all Don’s hands to complete from there. You hear so many horror stories of the building process. Mostly, I want to say that I never worried once about the building of our home knowing that Don was there to take care of us. His open honesty won us over from our first meeting. You are the best!!! Don’t hesitate to holler if we can ever provide a reference for you as others try to navigate the building decision. We have already told so many, if you are going to build there is only one place to go, don’t waste your time anywhere else. Thanks so much, you are all such a blessing to us.

Ken & Kathy T. Pewaukee 

“We really enjoyed everone in the office! So friendly! Mary Kay was great and easy to work with! So helpful when Mark needed reassurance on the finances. Julie was amazing! She can read minds! We truly enjoyed working with her during the design process. She knew what we wanted and what would be best for our family. She was just plain fun too! We truly could not imagine doing this without Don. From his attention to details, relationships with subs, sense of humor, kindness, and patience. Don was amazing; we feel blessed to have had him as our guide through this journey.”

Mark & Melissa M. Hartland

“Building a home can be very stressful, but Jeff, you and your wonderful staff made building our home a joyful and exciting experience. From the moment we saw the model of the Dunhill II in Nashotah, we fell in love with the quality and personal attention to detail that you give your homes. As soon as we met you and your staff at Jeff Horwath Family Builders, we were sold! You spent so much time helping us choose just the right lot, customizing our personal plans and giving us all the time we needed, we felt at home right away working with you. The quality of the materials used in our home was top notch in every area, and you kept us informed of time parameters and made yourself available every step of the process. Jeff, you and your wonderful staff made us feel like family, and to this day we consider you all very special friends. We continue to get many compliments on our home, with most admirers asking us who our builder is…we are proud and honored to tell them about ‘Jeff and his dedicated staff.’ We continue to enjoy our beautiful home and will always be grateful for the professionalism and friendship you have shown us. You didn’t treat us like clients…you treated us like family!”

Frank and Patti F. Merton

“Jim is the best! On a scale of 1 to 10, he’s a 100. His quality control, follow-up, helpfulness and honesty were all top-rated. Same for Jeff and the Office staff.”

Roberta and Dan F. Mukwonago 

“I am writing this letter to let you know how much we are enjoying the new home you built for us. We were a little uneasy when we began the process with Horwath Family Builders. We had numerous problems with a different builder for a previous home that was new construction. Our new Horwath home has met and exceeded our expectations. We feel this was attributed to the care and attention to detail that Scott managed for the workmanship of the home. He was extremely professional; able to provide advice and his follow up was excellent. We can’t express the appreciation that we feel because in reality a quality builder is its people, as they are the ones responsible for the end result. In addition to the many compliments that we have for Scott, the entire Horwath Team was fantastic. The folks that we had the priviledge to work with were you, Jeff, Yvonne, Julie, Mary Kay, Scott and Glen. Each team member is an asset to Horwath Family Builders. I would also like to add that our home came in on time and within our budget. The allowances that you recommended were accurate. This is probably one of the biggest concers that people have when beginning the building process. We would also like to add that the subcontractors you recommended were truly skilled professionals. Please feel free to use us as a reference for Horwath Family Builders. We will certainly let people know there is only one builder in the state of Wisconsin they should allow to build their home. The clear choice is Jeff Horwath Family Builders. We also are a little biased, because we feel it they have the same team that we did, they will have a really wonderful result. Please share this letter with your team. We are grateful for the beautiful home that Horwath Family Builders is responsible for building.”

Dawn & Dan O. Oconomowoc 

“I just want to take a moment to let you know how exceptional Mary Kay and Don have been to work with. While Brian and I haven’t experienced many issues to date (which is a big credit to Horwath Family Builders), what little ones we have encountered, have been handled efficiently and effectively. We can’t thank you and your staff enough for making this process fun and exciting.” (and later) “All of the Horwath subs we worked with were outstanding in their attention to detail, communication, service to us, their customers, and total quality of their deliverable. Don was excellent through-out the process! He’s been available to us at anytime to answer all of our questions. We both feel like we’ve made a friend! We’d love to work with you and Don again on our future basement project. What many people find is a stressful process, we have enjoyed the whole way through. We rate the value and quality of the Horwath finished product a 10+++.”

Becky & Brian M. Hartland. Hartland 

“As far as the basic architectural design, we can honestly say we wouldn’t change a thing. You guys really listen well when it came to design (it totally has the look and feel we were looking for). Jeff, you were very responsive, knowledgeable, and there when we needed you. Mary Kay was very thorough and responsive. There is a good reliability factor there with her. She keeps up with her paper work. Julie was awesome in every way; very sensitive to issues that were important to us. Scott was great; very responsive and does whatever it takes. Actually, we’re sure he does much more than what most people would do. We also felt that we were treated fairly with changes. This was huge to us and we appreciated being treated fairly. Quality level was actually higher than we thought we would get. Quality was exceptional across-the-board. And believe us when we say we really scrutinized things…so this is a real compliment to everyone at Horwath and your subcontractors. Your rough carpenter was exceptionally good. He really knows how to frame and has a good eye with important structural issues. We felt at ease having him there. Finish carpentry was very good; the cuts were very precise. Your cabinetry and millwork supplier was outstanding. You guys communicate well with each other. And, the values and philosophy is engrained in everyone. This is a true sign of a quality company.”

Steve & Carolyn C. Brookfield

“Thank you Jeff for building our home in Franklin. We had a very enjoyable experience (like my parents did 16 years ago). We developed a great working relationship with Jim in the field, and he did a great job getting everything done. Thanks, Jim, for all your hard work! Laura was very helpful, friendly and wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend Jeff Horwath Family Builders! Thanks for everything, we love our home.”

Tammie and Andy H Franklin

“Excellent job – couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone was great to work with. It was a great experience.”

Mary & Tom F

“Don was a pleasure to work with. If he didn’t know an answer, he was able to find out for us. Pretty good on availability and ability to reach. Very honest and helpful! Office staff (Julie and Mary Kay) were the best help – always taking the time for an opinion. Julie is great with details – Thanks. Jeff, your design and suggestions were great!”

Doug & Jodie G. Hubertus 

“Don is wonderful! He works very hard to make the customer happy!”

Jennifer & Ross M. Merton

“Scott was great to work with. Nearly all your subs were a 10!”

Craig & Sue G. Pewaukee 

“We appreciated Don keeping us informed at all times. He was also good about answering his phone when we called! We feel he’s a very honest person which was most important to us. Laura and Julie were both very good at getting back to us promptly. Droegkamp Heating was great – they fixed something for us after we moved in, even though it wasn’t their responsibility – it was much appreciated. We really liked your finish carpenters and your painters who paid so much attention to detail. We’ll definitely tell friends about your flooring people too.”

Tim & Alicia K. Oconomowoc

Jeff, I meant to tell you this sooner, and I apologize for the late feedback.. I had a minor plumbing problem on New Yr’s day last month. In a pinch I thought maybe Glenn Soehrmann could give me some advice over the phone. No fault on Glenn’s part, but he was out. I gave Scott a call on a whim he might answer. Sure enough he did and not only that he offered to come over and give me his advice. Thirty minutes later he arrived and told me exactly how to fix it. Once again I am very pleased with how well your employees continue to exceed our expectations. I will continue to be a strong promoter of your company for all the right reasons. Sincerely,

Jeff & Theresa A. Merton 

REMODELING PROJECTS

Hi Jeff
The lower level came out absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to start using it!  Everything went very smoothly and working with all your contractors was headache-free. Thanks for making the whole project pain free. You, your team, and all your subcontractors are really top notch.

See you soon,
Djerrick & Ria T. Brookfield.

Dear Jeff-
Brad and I wish to express our sincere gratitude to you and your entire staff for the absolutely wonderful experience we had during the process of remodeling our basement.

From the very beginning when we first met you, Jeff, you came over on several occasions and took the time with us to help design the perfect, I repeat perfect, lower level. Julie and Laura without both of you, we would have been totally lost with our selections. Your guidance and kindness throughout this entire process is so very much appreciated. Scott – where do we begin? You played such a huge role in the success of our basement. Absolutely anything that we needed, you were there for us and made sure it got done. Trust is such an important thing in life and you proved to be so trustworthy and then some. We thank you for the respect that you gave to us and our home.

Our gratitude to the sub-contractors. They were all great to work with, were very respectful and courteous and their quality of work was superb. The level of service that we received from all of you is nothing short of exemplary. You displayed such professionalism, courtesy and kindness. You gave us peace of mind and created a trust that was very important. Your team constantly followed up with everything to make sure it was done correctly.

While we are so very glad that the basement is finished and we can now enjoy it, there is a certain amount of sadness that goes along with that. We will miss talking to you all and not seeing anyone anymore!! It will be kind of lonely around the house for awhile!!

There is no doubt in our minds that we would recommend Jeff Horwath Builders to anyone and everyone that asks. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make one of our dreams come true. God Bless you all.

-Brad & Ann  Pewaukee

“We are just thrilled with the house addition and particularly with the job you, Scott, and everyone involved did with this project. Honestly, it exceeds our expectations and works so much better for our lifestyle. The kids’ den gets considerable use and our new dining space is just wonderful – warm, functional, and perfect for our family. Scott worked so well keeping everyone on track and making sure the project moved along according to our timetable. He also made sure the contractors knew that we continued to live here during the work (and that I was very pregnant during this time too) so everyone was respectful of our space and cleaned up well after themselves. We can’t say enough good things about you and your crew. Scott in particular is a very conscientious person who really takes pride in his work. He’s such an asset to your company and we really enjoyed working with him.

Lara & Mike A   Oconomowoc

(Received during construction…) I want to extend my highest compliments to your framing crew. They have been great about keeping us informed and always seem to be working hard. Yesterday, in particular, I was very pleasantly surprised with their work. They had to move the transom window in Adam’s bedroom. Anyhow, I peeked in on the work right before I left to get Ethan from school and saw the area but when I got home they had already left. I opened the door expecting chaos and a huge clean-up job. I was absolutely shocked! They had thoroughly cleaned the debris from the floor, moved AJ’s dresser back in place and even re-hung his blinds for me!!! All I had to do was wipe down his crib and change his linens and he could sleep in his own room. Since I’m pregnant and tired by the end of the day (as I know you know, Laura), I was definitely not looking forward to a big clean up job so their diligent efforts to keep our house liveable are VERY much appreciated. I just wanted to let you know that we’re really impressed with this crew. Thanks so much!

Lara & Mike A  Oconomowoc

Basement Remodel “We are enjoying the basement… and would like to thank you, Jeff and the rest of the staff for your dedication in getting our project done in a timely fashion and with such attention to detail. Julie and I have done several projects with other builders and have found none that keep to a schedule as closely as you and your team did. All of the subs were also great to work with and shared in your organizations attention to detail. As a client I can’t emphasize enough how much that meant to us. Well done!”
