We were impressed by the quality, beauty and efficiency of that house. We were not disappointed in our own house. Chris Rautmann was so easy to work with, down to earth and responsive. All the contractors were neat and considerate and did quality work. I was able to come almost every day during during the building progress and see the work firsthand. We love our home and are so thankful to Rautmann homes for making it a reality! **★★★★★ — Steve & Marilyn Heling, Jan. 2019** > Having a home constructed for the first time with Chris could not have been a finer experience. He guided us every step of the way - through site selection, design and construction - on budget, on time. We relied heavily on his experience, wisdom and standard of excellence. He lead a team of talented contractors who were equally dedicated to his high quality standards. Chris was always available when needed and delivered to us a gorgeous home. We would build again with Rautmann Custom Homes in a heartbeat and highly recommend Chris and his team! **★★★★★ — Tracy Israelsson, Nov. 2017** > Rautmann coordinated our remodel, which included new floors, wet bar, re-surfaced fireplace, and a reconfigured laundry room. The professionals he works with do quality work. We are pleased with the results. **★★★★★ — hustonsprang, Nov. 2017** > During the search for our next home we came across a Rautmann Custom Home and fell in love with it. The attention to detail, unique design features and products/brands that they put in their homes are the best out there. Chris exceeded all expectations during this process. He was attentive to all our questions and concerns, even meeting us several times at the house for consultations. We found Chris to be honest and reliable, following through on all his promises. He was a true pleasure to work with and we wanted to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the support, advice, guidance and professional acumen in order to make our dream house a reality. We would recommend a Rautmann Custom Home to anyone looking for a new home and would definitely work with them again. > > Huston and Amanda **★★★★★ — Laurie and Rick B, Nov. 2017** > We hired Rautmann Custom Homes to build our new house on 6.5 acres of wooded, raw land. We started with our own design incorporating many custom features and special requirements. Chris and his team took the design, improved upon it, and received all required construction permits. We broke ground in September 2016 and took occupancy in June 2017. The quality met or exceeded all our expectations and was delivered within the time frame promised and budget agreed upon. Rautmann Custom Homes and all subcontractors were top quality and a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier with the result and can unreservedly recommend Rautmann Custom Homes for your project. **★★★★★ — nancy and gary, May 2017** > We were new to the area, and when we asked about local builders Rautmann Custom Homes was mentioned again and again. Choosing Rautmann was the best decision we could have made. All facets of the experience - planning, designing, construction, completion – were excellent. We are first-time builders and had endless questions. Chris answered everything, and offered very valuable insights. Communication with Chris and Jennifer was great throughout. Every person Chris used – without exception – did absolutely top quality work. We stayed on schedule, and on budget. Our new home is gorgeous. We would use Rautmann again, no question. Wish we could give more than just 5 stars :-) **★★★★★ — Mike Mertens, April 2017** > Chris Rautmann is a true professional and very knowledgeable of all aspects of construction. All building materials were high quality and the subcontractors displayed excellent craftsmanship. Rautmann committed to a schedule and completed the home on time. The trim carpenters and the painters were excellent, but then of course, the plumber, electrician, flooring, and cabinetry were excellent also, and all very professional. After we moved in, there were a few very minor cosmetic issues that Chris took care of immediately. After four months in our new home, we still find quality extras that are part of their standard construction procedures. A+ **★★★★★ — rabrown24, April 2017** > We had a wonderful experience working with Rautmann Custom Homes. The entire staff was very helpful and easy to work with and provided the right amount of support where we needed it. > We are very happy with the design, level of detail, and quality of our new house; in fact Chris took the time to research and suggest many unique features that we ended up selecting. > If you are in the market for a new home, we highly recommend contacting Rautmann Custom Homes. Given the chance to go through this process again, we would definitely work with Rautmann again. **★★★★★ — plkramer55, Jan. 2014** > Had a wonderful experience with all associated with Rautmann Custom Homes. Chris is hands on and extremely thorough. He also has a great design style! > Rautmann Custom Homes builds a high quality custom home and we are very happy with the results. **★★★★★ — Jessica, July 2013** > Absolutely amazing. Chris was extremely helpful throughout the entire process.went above and beyond giving us ideas as to where we could find fixtures for our house. He made sure that the contractors were on schedule or ahead and completed our house ahead of schedule. He also gave us an ample budget for finishes so that we weren't constantly going over budget, we wouldn't work with any other builder! His parade houses are fantastic ways to get ideas for your own home, not to mention to compare the quality you get with him vs the other builders. Rautmann homes definitely stand out as being the best. ## Selected projects - [Henry Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/henry-court-pj-vj~7147359) - Location: Cedarburg, WI - Photos: 162 - [Pinehurst Farms 1.5 Story Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinehurst-farms-1-5-story-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~7147198) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 51 - [Pinehurst Farms Modern Farmhouse Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinehurst-farms-modern-farmhouse-ranch-pj-vj~5311391) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 36 - [Joseph Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/joseph-woods-pj-vj~6884782) - Location: Port Washington, WI - Photos: 49 - [Hidden Valley Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hidden-valley-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~4126802) - Location: Cedarburg, WI - Photos: 13 - [Pinehurst Fairway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinehurst-fairway-pj-vj~6884827) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Lake Michigan Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-michigan-remodel-pj-vj~1591636) - Location: Sheboygan, WI - Photos: 70 - [Elkhart Lake Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elkhart-lake-woods-pj-vj~2936086) - Location: Elkhart Lake, WI - Photos: 14 - [Eltteas Prairie Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eltteas-prairie-home-pj-vj~2781742) - Location: Grafton, WI - Photos: 12 - [Empty Nester Golf Course Paradise! - 2013 Parade of Homes Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/empty-nester-golf-course-paradise-2013-parade-of-homes-model-pj-vj~334395) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 71 - [Miller Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miller-contemporary-pj-vj~2643450) - Location: Sheboygan, WI - Photos: 6 - [2014 Parade of Homes Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2014-parade-of-homes-model-pj-vj~1589132) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 41 - [Pigeon Creek Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pigeon-creek-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~2781730) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 29 - [Golf Course Oasis - 2013 Parade of Homes Model - Sheboygan Falls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golf-course-oasis-2013-parade-of-homes-model-sheboygan-falls-pj-vj~285879) - Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI - Photos: 40 - Description: Custom Home behind the \#2 green at The Bull golf course in Sheboygan Falls.

The box beams in this picture make it considerably more expensive. **Q: How wide is the room?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am trying to imagine these bookcases in my 15' wide room. Don't want to divide them too small. A: I would think that you would want to divide the 49" span for support, depending on what you are planning to put on the shelves. **Q: Dimensions of the built-ins and fireplace** *(in Photo Questions)* How wide is this entire display including fireplace and shelves? I'm wanting to do something like this for my 23 foot living room A: The wall is a total of 19'. Here is the cabinet layout. **Q: where can I buy this coffee table?** *(in Photo Questions)* Coffee table, wood bottom, glass top A: This was a number of years ago, but Meiselwitz Furniture in Kiel, Wisconsin would be able to assist you with this. **Q: Floor tile name** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for your inquiry. The tile is from Daltile. It is the Levaro in Grigio Meadows, installed in a Versailles pattern. **Q: Cabinet Knobs** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello Can you please tell me where to purchase the cabinet knobs? Thank You A: I believe these are part of the Emenee Bathtime collection. https://www.knobs4less.com/Emenee-Cabinet-Knobs-and-Pulls-Bathtime/emcabknoband173.html --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
