Wisconsin Home Builder

Honest. Down to Earth. Family.

2023 Top Choice Awards FinalistYour family is built around care, love, honesty, dedication, and trust. At the end of the day, your home, and the people you choose to build it, should reflect those same values. At Demlang, we’re more than just your local home builder. From relationships with our clients and trade partners, to community involvement and volunteering – we’re everyday people who are honest, down to earth, and hard working. Our passionate team is built upon family and we’re excited to help you take the next step in building a home for yours.

Over and over, we are told by our clients how enjoyable the build of their new home was. From creative and innovative designs to outstanding customer satisfaction, our home building team is one of the most experienced in the industry. We give you the best team for your build from your first engagement with a New Construction Specialist, throughout the design and build process, to closing and service after you move in.

We put passion into everything we do – because if it’s worth doing it’s worth doing well.

Community Involvement and The Demlang Promise

Building homes is hard work. Building communities is harder work. We have a passion for giving back and getting involved with local volunteer and sponsorship opportunities. Building more than just residences in Wisconsin – we’re helping build the future. Our past community involvement includes:

  • Providing a Custom-Built Experience

    Even if you are choosing a semi-custom home, you won’t feel like you are building a cookie cutter home. Demlang clients enjoy a “custom-built” experience, even when working from an existing floor plan.

  • Valuing our Trade Partners

    The plumber, the electrician, the finish carpenter – the stronger the trade relationships, the stronger the home. Our decades-long vendor relationships are evident in the quality and workmanship of your new home.

  • Managing an On-time, On-budget Build

    Whether it’s Rod, Jason, or another member of our team, our onsite project management is accented by a custom web-based software. And, our years of experience means your home is built on-time, on-budget, and on-par with the quality you expect.

  • Standing By Our Work

    As the dust and dirt settle, the seasons change, and you get comfortable in your new home, enjoy the comfort of knowing that service or warranty claims are easy to manage 24/7 through the same customized cloud-based software you used during construction.
