To this day, Ben responds to our questions with the same focus as he did during the construction. > > We were fortunate enough to have Perthel Homes build us our dream home. If you are looking for a builder, you can stop looking - Perthel is the best choice. From our first meeting with Ben until the day we moved in and beyond the entire team at Perthel Homes made our experience amazing. > > Perthel took our vision and exceeded our wildest dreams. At every step of the way the team was always willing to answer our questions, meet us on site, or take us to another property for inspiration. > > Perthel homes is a family run operation and throughout we felt as if we were part of their family. > > The quality of their workmanship is unmatched. Their attention to detail is spectacular. > > If we ever build again, there is no question who we will use - Perthel Homes. **★★★★★ — Amanda Wondra, March 2018** > We were nervous about building our first custom home, but found ease working with Ben at Perthel Homes. Ben was proactive and was always a step ahead of us in the design process. He has great expertise and knowledge in all areas of the home build. Ben would respond at all hours of the day and was always willing to meet with us on the weekends and nights (even though he had a newborn at home). Perthel's quality of work is above and beyond any other builder that we had met with. Each builder wanted to "upcharge" for a higher quality product. Perthel Homes only uses the highest quality and is included in the base price. When talking with others that have built with other builders, no one comes close to the great experience we had with Perthel. We know we will be building again with them in the future!!! **★★★★★ — Alex Harris, March 2018** > Great experience dealing with Perthel, very professional. We moved into a new build home, quality of build and interior were high, any things we needed to address were dealt with promptly and without fuss. We would definitely use Perthel in the future. **Comment from Perthel Homes, Inc.:** > Alex, Thank you for the review. We're delighted that you're happy with your home. **★★★★★ — HU-689499, May 2017** > Perthel Homes did an amazing job with our home, they put a lot of thought into their designs. Working with Ben was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend him and his team. With Perthel you get a personalized experience that you don't get with larger builders. **★★★★★ — Luis Navarrete, Oct. 2016** > We bought this beautiful custom home from Perthel back in June. The design and the nice custom features and options that came with made it stand above all other houses we saw during our house hunting trip. I continued be get gladly surprised after I moved as I was discovering features that I didn't know the house had: electrical outlet to power light on the pergola, speakers, programmable fireplace, etc. We are absolutely delighted with the house, its design and quality - This is our 5th house and best builder experience. My new neighbors have all expressed the sale high level of satisfaction with Ben and Perthel Homes. > We saw many homes and visited few builders during our house hunting trip. Ben (from Perthel) made a BIG difference and a great 1st impression. He was very knowledgeable about the construction and features and answered all our questions with great professionalism. He accommodated a couple follow-up visits and our specific timing requirements for the closing (due to our relocation). Ben also came a few times to the our house after we bough it to answer follow-up questions. > I recommend Perthel Homes as your main option if you are looking for your next home. **★★★★★ — Mike Speckman, Sept. 2016** > The craftsmanship, attention to detail, fair pricing for upgraded options, materials, and service was all outstanding. We could not have been happier throughout the entire process of building our home. Excellent communication on a regular basis using the available tech tools allowed us to make all our decisions while being over 2000 miles away in another state! I would highly recommend Perthel Homes! It was a wonderful experience for our family. Thanks Ben, to you and your team of professionals... **Comment from Perthel Homes, Inc.:** > Thanks for the kind review Mike. I'm glad that you and Deb are happy with your home. **★★★★★ — Dana Fields, Sept. 2016** > We dealt mostly with Ben Perthel during the addition of a 3 season room on the back of our house. Perthel Homes built our house in 2010 so we contacted them to give us a quote for a long awaited 3 season room. From figuring out roof lines, to design, to completion, Ben was there always checking in on progress and keeping us in the loop with what was going on. He is 100% accessible via email or text. He responds almost immediately. > > He is very honest. There were a couple days where not much got done and he was very honest and let us know there was a big project in Brookfield that needed to get finished first. Other than that, there was no waiting. It seemed everyday something was happening. > > Ben is very knowledgeable about so many things. He helped my husband design where speakers should go inside and out for tv, music, etc. He was willing to try stain on the ceiling instead of painting it like he suggested initially. He even helped fix my garbage disposal! > > I would highly recommend Perthel Homes to anyone building a new home or an addition to an existing home. **Comment from Perthel Homes, Inc.:** > Thanks for the kind review. We had a great time working with you on your addition and we're thrilled how it turned out. **★★★★★ — HU-9576846, Aug. 2016** > We both built our home in 2007 and remodeled with Perthel Homes 2016. From a remodeling perspective we liked that one of the owners came to our house and worked with us to understand the scope of our project and then helped to fit it within our budget. The finished project looks amazing and we constantly receive compliments from friends and family when they see it. Thank you Perthel Homes!!! **Comment from Perthel Homes, Inc.:** > Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying your new kitchen and master bath. **★★★★★ — Ben Becker, June 2016** > Ben was great to work with throughout the process. We found Ben to be honest, responsive, and enjoyed working with him. The work was done well and of good quality. We have now been in our home about three months and Ben has been available and has continued to be responsive with any questions that we have had. If we ever build a new home again, we will be working with Perthel Homes. **★★★★★ — thartfam, Jan. 2016** > We lived in Menomonee Falls for the last 5 years in a Perthel Home. Over the last 5 years we had little to no issues due to the high quality of construction and the attention to detail. The customer service to Perthel Homes is second to none. Even when we had small issues with our home they immediately addressed, rectified in a very short period of time. We never had to wait on a sub-contractor for a significant period of time and the work was always completed to our satisfaction. If you are looking for a high quality built home with excellent service after the sell, I would definitely recommend Perthel Homes. **★★★★★ — enstark, July 2015** > Our experience with Perthel Homes was excellent! We chose them for our new home building and the experience was fantastic. They were easy to work with, quick to respond and answer any questions that we had, and very thorough with all home details. I really appreciated that Ben took the time to get to know our family and our personal home building needs. I would highly recommend Perthel to anyone looking to build a new home. **★★★★★ — Bill, July 2015** > Perthel homes has been outstanding to work with on our first custom home! From design to finishing touches Zach and Ben worked with us on a daily basis through much of the construction and were their to answer any and all questions as we went through the building process. High quality contractors that built the home on time and in budget. ## Selected projects - [2017 Parade of Homes Model - The Bristlecone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2017-parade-of-homes-model-the-bristlecone-pj-vj~2732049) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 47 - [Brookfield Custom 2-Story Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookfield-custom-2-story-residence-pj-vj~2224512) - Location: Brookfield, WI - Photos: 41 - Description: One-of-a-Kind Custom 2-story residence is Brookfield, WI.
