Report
We moved into our new home that was built by Wausau Homes Elkhorn. It's everything we wanted and designed with them. They fulfilled many of the "special" needs that we had to have. It's lovely, comfortable, and just what we needed. They were easy to work with, and completed the entire project in a very timely fashion. We appreciate the wonderful and caring job they did. Couldn't be happier with Wausau Homes Elkhorn, Greg, Julia, and Larry. Thanks so much!
