TESTIMONIALS

Making Peoples Dream Homes Come True

Our experience with Regency started when we designed and built a house in 2014. From beginning to end it was a wonderful experience. They helped us find our lot, enabled us to co-design our home and built it. Building can be difficult and stressful but Regency made it very easy. In the end we got everything we wanted and stayed within budget and finished on time. But our experience with Regency didn’t end there. After almost a decade our lives entered a new phase and it was time to sell our Regency home. With the help of Regency Realty, we were able to sell in just a few days. We just bought a house and we are excited to be working with Regency Remodel. The people at Regency are always responsive, up to speed on the latest building techniques and have an incredible attention to detail and quality. I intend to stay with Regency and appreciate all they have done for us.

Bill & Lisa

Our relationship started with the Regency team in 2006 when we built and moved into our first home in summer of 2007. We were extremely pleased with our building experience, including following up on issues years after our home was constructed.


The process went so well – we decided in 2020 to work with Regency to build our second home with them on Okauchee lake. Similar to our first building project Regency assisted along every step of the way: from validating the property we were interested in to make sure it would be adequate for our future home, to setting up a great design team including Architects, Landscaping and interior design.


While we worked on designing our new home, we also engaged Regency Realty to help us sell our existing Regency home. This was a win-win for everyone as they had contacts who were interested in new homes, and they knew our home well and were able to help us at reduced realtor fees. They were also very helpful in using their existing contractor base to prepare our home for sale.


In July of 2021 we sold our old home and moved into our new Regency home. Our overall build experience was exceptional, we had the same construction manager who worked with us on our first home, and who worked well with us (a testament to a long-term, stable workforce and supplier base at Regency), and was on top of the various challenges you encounter during the build process.


In July we moved into our home and were thrilled when the final build cost came in under our quoted / estimated build cost. As I spoke with the Regency team, I expressed the real reason we continue to rely on Regency, “Trust. “ We trust Regency to deliver on their promises and assist us in choosing the right materials, design, and a finished product that will meet the needs of our family.


John & Lisa Lingle

We learned about Regency through multiple referrals. I worked with Jon to get feedback on the lot. It was a lot of hard work to survey quickly, obtain necessary soil reports for countless helical piers required to stabilize our home and exterior pool and create an acceptable grading plan. Based off the information provided I felt very comfortable to build on the lot. Not everyone does that, Jon just made it happen. At that point, I did not want to interview any other builders because I knew Regency would handle it. We also decided to work with our architect. Regency attended the design meetings and offered additional design opinions.

 

Because we live on a private road that was recently repaved the neighbors had concerns that there would be road damage by contractor trucks. On heavy trucking days, Regency hired off duty patrol officers to monitor the crossroad, the site, and take vehicle plates down so trucks stayed in the center of the road.

 

Pat is awesome, easy to get ahold of, very transparent, and available. He has an engineering mindset that fits well with me wanting to be involved. Mike Bertram oversaw our project. He can manage a lot of moving parts. It was amazing to see how fast he could get something moving and make the extraordinary happen. Mike and the Regency team are very responsive before, during and after construction. It would have been hard to find better than them. Mike overall did an exceptional job! Their selection coordinator, Cherie LaFrance was amazing.

 

Regency is a very professional builder to work with. They deliver what they promise, buy you more value than you expect, and make the process as easy as possible! They have a lot of history to share various quality of past and current homes – attention to detail is awesome. Regency is the Best!

We have always dreamed of living on the water in Lake Country. When circumstances arose that made this a possibility the first call we made was not to a realtor or mortgage banker but it was to Jon Schoenheider and Regency Builders We built our first home with Regency 10 years ago through multiple referrals from Childrens' Hospital where we work as doctors. They did such an incredible job on our first home and were there for years after helping us with any service and remodel needs that arose. It helped that Regency knew of a phenomenal property on a Waukesha County Lake with a flat front yard to let the kids play and have bonfires. 


Through these first couple of months watching our dream house come to life we continue to be thankful that we went with Regency. They have clearly reminded us of the emotional ups and downs that will come with this journey. But, we always know that they will be there for us.  

 

As of now, we are confident that we will enjoy the home building process just as much this time and have an even stronger relationship with Regency after occupancy. We would recommend Regency to anyone wanting to build without hesitation.

Frequent Fliers

Regency Builders worked with the seller and our broker to achieve a 30-day contingency to allow Buyer to approve builder’s analysis, giving us time to:


  • Discuss our desires with County to avoid a conditional use permit
  • Conduct soil test for Form A & groundwater, soil suitability for structure
  • Come up with preliminary home, boat house and port cochere 
  • Suggest a budget for the entire project
  • Evaluate riparian rites

  • Surround us with an extensive team including multiple soil, structural engineers, interior selection coordinators, past zoning managers of Waukesha county and architects.
  • Cleary guide us on design decisions and selection decisions that achieved our ultimate home design on a timely basis
  • Create a realistic budget based off design and selection decisions
  • Communicate clearly through-out the process
  • Maintain the upmost professionalism

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Regency Builders on the construction of our home! Jon and the entire team helped us every step of the way, from site acquisition to design to completion of high-quality construction. The Regency team felt like an extension of our family in that there was a very open dialogue and trusting relationship throughout the process. Any question we had was always answered in a very clear and considerate manner. Regency exceeded our expectations when it came to timely customer service and assistance on any topic. Having previously built with others, we were very focused on the details of the project. It was comforting to know that Regency was more attentive to the details of the project than we could have ever imagined. Regency’s quality and craftsmanship was amazing! We will personally benefit from that high quality craftsmanship for many years to come. We could not be happier with the outcome of our home! It is very comforting to know that Regency is always there for us, on a moment’s notice, whenever a question arises. We truly appreciate the caring and trusting relationship that has evolved and will continue through our lifetime. The Regency experience has been amazing! We constantly recommend them to others with great pride. Many thanks to the entire Regency team!”

Scott & Jean

We appreciate Regency's ability to build a beautiful clean-energy house, with a very tight envelope, using solar and geothermal technologies. We have found our Regency builder and their subcontractors to have very high standards, tight scheduling, and great communication. Can't wait to live there. :-) Linda

The Katz Family

When we decided to build on a lake, there was no question that we wanted to build with Regency. Reason being, every home that we were attracted to we learned had been built by Regency Builders. So right off the bat, we liked their style. More importantly, however, was/is their reputation. We not only toured many Regency homes, but also interviewed numerous homeowners who had built with Regency and the comments were all very much the same in terms of the excellent quality home they build, their professionalism, and what has been the most crucial for us is their responsiveness. In addition, they have built many lake homes, which is a unique niche, as there are many puzzle pieces involved before your project has even started. From the very beginning, Regency has been at our beck and call as we started the journey of finding a lot. They came out to each lot we considered to give us their thoughts on how our vision would or would not fit into a particular property. Once we secured a lot, their expertise was invaluable as they helped us navigate through the arduous process of permitting, County/Town approvals, and other pieces required when building on a lake. What has been most impressive to us is they have provided us with an entire team of experts who have been on the journey with us from the initial architect to structural and soil engineers, zoning managers, landscape architect and even interior/exterior selection coordinators to help us make the many decisions necessary to build our dream home. This has all occurred before we have even begun to dig the hole! 

 

One aspect of the process so far that has been extremely helpful is the 3D imaging/animations that has been part of our design process. It is incredible. We actually see exactly what our home will look like and can “walk through” the project, which really gives us a sense of what we will have in the end. It already feels like we have a home. We will be breaking ground shortly, and we are very excited for this next phase of the project. We love the fact that our Regency team is just as excited as we are and they are committed to exceeding our expectations! It is great to have that support as we move into the next chapter of our lives. We look forward to celebrating with our Regency team on the deck of our new home in the near future!!!

Tom & Mary

"Over the past 30 years, Regency has built two beautiful homes for our family. We consider them to be our “go-to” experts anytime we are looking to make an improvement or update to our home. They have given us guidance on remodeling and referrals for other work. We trust them to always give honest and professional advice and know that anything Regency puts their stamp on will be beautiful and of excellent quality. Jon, Pat and Mike have been great to work with and we greatly value our relationship with Regency Builders."

Rich & Maribeth

"The house is really coming along and we are very excited! We are roughly two months from move-in. The setting and position of the house, in our mind, couldn’t have been better as it is very peaceful and relaxing! Mike and the crew are doing a great job! While doing this from Chicago has been a challenge, we have managed and have done as much as we can on weekends to be sure we are getting decisions to everyone to everyone in a timely manner."

John & Kathleen

"We recently built our dream home with Regency. Throughout the project, we appreciated their exceptional communication and bi-weekly updates. Having a Builder, Architect, and an Interior Selections Coordinator as part of Regency’s design team captured all of our wants, needs, and desires. The use of 3D technology in collaboration with the Houzz site and the vast experience of the team challenged ideas and concepts for the exterior style. The entire Regency team was fully involved, from the early planning phase to the day we moved in and for months afterward, to ensure our complete satisfaction. At the end, we didn't end up with just a great home but also some lifelong friendships. We would highly recommend Regency not only for the outstanding quality of their work but their customer service and responsiveness that is second to none."

Aravind & Shireesha

"It seems a bit of an understatement to say we love our home. We are constantly reminded of the quality of craftsmanship and the consistently high level of service we've enjoyed from your firm. We never tire of the view."

We meticulously bid out our home with three quality contractors. Not only was Regency the most competitive, but they also showed such interest and brought in more value engineering than both other contractors combined. Regency was always willing to advise us on our ideas and implement our decisions. Most notably, Regency has a team of experts to provide an incredible quality product that relates to us personally as a value for our investment.

Kevin & Shelby

Our family recently completed the building process with Regency Builders and could not be happier. They were very attentive to our needs, wants, and desires for our home. Working with them was fun and easy, and in the end, we moved into our dream home! Regency’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship is unparalleled. We cannot recommend Regency enough.

Peter & Julie Wagner

We have built four times, and this was by far the best experience we have had. The people at Regency are experts and really cared about our building experience. Their attention to detail truly sets them apart. Our house is amazing. 

Bill & Lisa Ash

Regency has consistently kept their promises and proven that their marketing statements aren’t just words to get more business. Regency and their subcontractors have true pride in their work and in their customer satisfaction. Thank you, Jon, Mike, and all the Regency team!

Ken & Ximena

Having researched a number of builders, it was clear from our first introduction to Regency they were the professionals we wanted to partner with to turn our dreams into reality. Having very high expectations, Regency wanted every detail just as perfect as us. We are extremely proud to show our home and tell everyone Regency built it.

PJ DiStefano & Dustin Hutter

When it came time to build our lake home, we initially considered Regency since they did such a great job on our current home a few years back. Because of the distance from Milwaukee, we ended up designing the home independently with an architect and felt that by using a local builder we would get better pricing. When the local builder gave us the proposal, we felt uncomfortable with the numbers and reached out to Regency to see if they were interested in giving us a proposal.


To our surprise, given the travel distance, Regency ended up being amazingly competitive, even with the travel time. We are close to finished carpentry and so excited that we were able to work with Regency again. The subcontractors and suppliers have done just as nice of a job on this home as the last. Regency truly has an amazing team!
