We bring this unwavering commitment to excellence to every build across Door, Kewaunee, and Brown Counties.

ASK US DIRECTLY

I’m ready. How do I start?

No matter where you live in Northeast Wisconsin—in Door, Kewaunee Brown County or elsewhere—just call us at 920-866-2351 to schedule an introductory meeting. A member of our experienced staff will get you started on the custom home process.

What will I need for my introductory meeting?

If you’ve been collecting clippings of floor plans or exterior photos of homes you love—or even if you’ve sketched your plans on a napkin—bring these along to your meeting. Anything that will help us to share your vision will help turn your dream into a functional blueprint, estimate and proposal.

How long does it take to draw up plans and price a new home?

Drawing up a new plan usually requires two to three months, and three to four additional weeks are needed for estimating costs and putting together your proposal. If you already have a set of home plans, we can have your proposal ready in just three to four weeks.

How long does it take to build a custom build home?

Typically, it takes 6 to 10 months to build a custom new home from start to finish. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time. Van’s is a builder you can count on to meet timelines!

I’ve accepted the proposal. How soon will construction begin?

Construction timelines depend on the time of year. Our sales staff can offer a specific assessment.

Do I need to arrange for my own subcontractors?

Absolutely not! That’s why you chose to work with a full service building contractor like Van’s. We have strong relationships with our preferred subcontractors in and around Door, Kewaunee and Brown Counties. With these partners, you can be confident in the quality of product and service they provide and we can more easily schedule work to avoid delays.
