Want to build in Northern Wisconsin? Be prepared to get utterly ripped off. What can I say about the builders in Northern Wisconsin? Half the service, twice the time to get things done and three times the price you can get almost anywhere else in the state.
To start out, my husband, our two kids and I spent the best part of five years saving, researching and looking for a piece of land to call our own. We had the idea of someday, when we could better afford it, building a small, but nice, little cabin. I have been coming up to Northern Wisconsin for some time and thought buying would be a better investment than paying rent or hotel costs every time we go up there.
A few years after we had purchased some land, we thought we would check out some builders in the Vilas County area. Needless to say we were utterly shocked to find out that the builders charge about twice what they charge in Waukesha, WI. (where we live now) and other parts of the state. When we talked to two dozen (24) builders the in the Vilas county area and for lesser quality products, and they averaged about $200+ per sq ft. That?s for a simple 1400 sq foot house with no granite, no marble, no hardwood floors, no tile, no finished basement, no high-end carpeting, no high-end plumbing fixtures, no appliances, no well, no septic, no garage, no land costs and basic of everything. Rip-off, rip-off, rip-off.
Now, this does not match what is being charged in other parts of the state. We had a friend that found a wonderful three bedroom ranch with striking front dormers. It?s a three bedroom, two bath, two-car front entry garage in Appleton, WI, zip code 54911. Total Square Feet: 1642. The cost to build of $180,620 was determined which is an approximate cost of $110 per sq. ft.
My sister and her husband live in Sun Prairie, WI (just outside of Madison, WI.) and they built a two story that ran them about $112 per sq. ft.
As of November, 2011 according to the National Association of Home Builders, their recent report shows the national average cost to build a house for labor and materials is $79.67 per sq. ft excluding land, builder profit and overhead, financing costs, and marketing and sales costs.
The only thing we can think of is that the Chicago-ians, Doctors and CEOs have jacked prices so high in northern Wisconsin, it?s not fit for the average family anymore. The builders are spoiled and everyone wants to get rich quick so they think they can charge whatever they want by taking advantage of the average Joe. The prices sure do match close to what they are in Chicago, but not in Wisconsin.

One aspect I cannot comment on is the actual work of these builders. Can they guys nail two boards together? Can the put in a toilet? Can they lay down tile? I don?t know. I wouldn?t hire them because their prices are beyond astronomical. However, I would hope that for the un-godly prices they are charging, if they did build a home for me, it would have to be made of solid gold for the prices they are charging.
Minocqua, WI 54548 What can I say about Stratford Homes? Remember the line ?You had me from hello?? Well, I had a similar experience with Stratford. I saw a DVD of their process and I was fascinated from the get-go. At least that?s the way it all started. The company sounded great and then I made the mistake of calling some of their builders. We contacted five Stratford builders in the Vilas county and surrounding area. Granger Builders (Stratford), R.J. Hoeft Construction (Stratford), Everest builders (Stratford), Bear Country Builders (Stratford), Cottages to Castles (Stratford). We feel they knowingly and purposefully participated in collusion and price fixing. We were told from their corporate office that every builder is allowed to set their own price, which doesn?t sound bad until they got together to collude to establish price rigging. I can?t prove this with physical evidence, but we are almost positive this comes from somewhere higher than the builders! To solidify my suspicions, I had a friend contact a Stratford builder in another part of the state with all the same details, house plan, options, etc. and what do you know, it was fifty-thousand dollars LESS.
I never ended up going with Stratford since they engage in price fixing and collusion. If you go with them, lots of luck. Just get a lawyer.

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Presque Isle, WI
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
