Why Roshak

You deal with the builder, not a salesperson.

Scott Roshak owns the company and runs the job. Past customers say he is on site often, sticks to the schedule and stays in touch after the work is done.

Talk to Scott
  1. 01

    Lot to keys, one builder.

    Land, design with an architect, budget, schedule and construction, with one point of contact from the first call to the final walk-through.

  2. 02

    Realistic allowances, up front.

    A past client put it plainly: Scott did not low-ball allowances, so they never ended up over budget.

  3. 03

    Modern lake homes and classic Northwoods designs.

    Clean lines and big windows, or stone and timber, or a mix of both. Scott builds what suits your lot and the way you live.

  4. 04

    Over 25 years building homes.

    Scott built in the Fox Valley, Appleton and Green Bay before moving north, and he recently opened Roshak Builders in the Northwoods.

Built for the Northwoods

Lake, woods and a long winter.

A Northwoods home is built for its site: the water, the trees and the weather. Tell Scott about your lot and he will talk it through with you.

  • Lakefront lots

    Where the house sits on the shoreline, how it meets the water, and which way the glass faces are decided on the lot, before the plan is drawn. See custom lake homes.

  • Wooded lots

    Trees, grade, soil and access get read first, and the plan works around what you want to keep. See wooded-lot homes.

  • Northern Wisconsin weather

    Deep cold, heavy snow and a short building season shape the plan, the schedule and the details, so they are part of the conversation from the first call.

Ideas and inspiration

Modern lines or classic timber.

Many Northwoods homes lean on wood, and Scott will gladly build that. He also builds cleaner modern lake homes with big glass, gradual rooflines and drywall interiors, with a few Northwoods touches. Start with the feel you want.

Deep cold, heavy snow and a short building season shape the plan, the schedule and the details. Tell Scott when you would like to start and he will talk through what that means on your lot.

If you’re looking for someone that communicates, honest, and does excellent quality work..you won’t be disappointed!!
Colton and Kristi KurtzGoogle review
Scott was much more realistic in terms of allowances (i.e., he did not low-ball on allowances, causing us to end up over budget).
Dave and SrabaniHomeowner letter
Our questions and concerns were always given your immediate attention as you made us feel that our home was your number one priority.

Questions

Common questions about building a custom home

How long does it take to build a custom home on a lake lot in northern Wisconsin?

There is no honest single number. A lake lot adds steps before construction: checking shoreline zoning, planning the septic system and driveway, and getting permits. After that the build follows the size of the home and the weather. Plan on many months from first call to move-in. Scott gives you a schedule once he has seen your lot and your plan.

What styles of home do you build?

Modern lake homes with simple shapes, gradual roof pitches and a lot of glass, and classic Northwoods designs with timber and stone. Many homes blend the two. Scott will tell you what suits your lot and your budget.

Where do you build?

Across the Northwoods, including Minocqua, Eagle River, Rhinelander, Three Lakes, Woodruff, Tomahawk, Arbor Vitae, Boulder Junction and Manitowish Waters, and also Lake Tomahawk, Land O' Lakes, St. Germain and Sayner. Scott will also build elsewhere in Wisconsin, including Appleton and the Fox Valley, Green Bay, Madison and Milwaukee, for the right project.
