"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Protect your home building investment by inspecting the foundation perimeter and clearing gutters before the Rhinelander freeze-up. During winter, monitor roof snow accumulation and watch for ice dams at the eaves. In spring, check for foundation displacement caused by frost heave and ensure downspouts discharge water away from the structure. Throughout summer, inspect basements for moisture intrusion and check the attic for any lingering condensation damage from winter.

Helpful?

Before starting home building, obtain a geotechnical report to understand the glacial soil variability on your lot. You must also check floodplain mapping and wetland restrictions, as Rhinelander features extensive lakes and wetlands. Confirm whether your property requires a private well and septic system, which involves specific soil evaluations. Finally, assess site drainage and tree cover to prevent future basement moisture issues and protect your foundation from root interference.

Helpful?

Start your home building preparation by commissioning a soil boring and survey. Next, identify all regulatory jurisdictions early to secure the correct permits. For rural lots in Rhinelander, you must obtain a sanitary permit before applying for a building permit. Schedule ground-disturbing work between mid-May and mid-October. Always plan explicitly for winter protection to shield open framing and concrete from freezing temperatures if the project extends into late fall.

Helpful?

Successful home building in WI requires materials suited for extreme freeze-thaw cycles. Use insulated foundation systems, exterior waterproofing membranes, and crushed stone backfill to prevent moisture intrusion. Choose engineered lumber for structural stability in high humidity. Install triple-pane windows and ice-and-water shield underlayment to combat severe winter weather. Finally, select durable exterior cladding like fiber cement siding to withstand heavy snowpack against the foundation.

Helpful?

A major mistake during home building is underestimating the required 60-inch frost depth, which leads to severe frost heave damage. Homeowners also fail to plan for the heavy 55-to-60-pound ground snow loads common in WI. Skipping geotechnical assessments before breaking ground causes major delays. Additionally, starting construction outside the short mid-May through mid-October building window leaves unfinished work vulnerable to harsh winter weather and deep freezes.
