What Homeowners Say About Schrage Custom Homes
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Posted on Alex StephensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Do not look any farther then Schrage Construction for building simply anything! Not only are their builds top shelf more importantly they are incredible people!!!! After spending years! Literally 4, putting together our forever home 🏡 we choose 2025 as the year to break ground! Oh what a year it was 🙃 2 job position changes, 4 funerals, one broken arm, a stroke, and a heart surgery!!! I share this because the building of our house was literally the least of our concerns and that simply was only possible because of Travis Schrage! He and his subs are so damn organized that nearly every single day someone was working on our house! We were blessed to be only 200 yards from the build so it was so special to have our kids and neighbors watch the progress together ❤️ Not once, not a single time did we ever feel rushed, talked down to, or pushed into a decision. I would simply ask Travis what would you do and he'd say his opinion and always finish his sentence with, but it's up to you! He builds these houses like it's being built for his very own beautiful family! I'll leave with this. My wife at 42 had a stroke, do you know who one of the very first people to send her flowers 💐 the Schrage family! If your a very first time home builder don't waste any of your precious time looking anywhere else! It's Schrage Construction or no Construction 👊 Alex StephensonPosted on Kylie HeiderscheitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking to build your dream home you have to go through Schrage Construction! Tasha and Travis are great to work with and make the process super simple. Travis is very efficient and the quality can’t be beat. We are so happy with our new home!Posted on Brittney MatzenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first met Travis in August of 2022. We knew from day one, he was our guy. His calm demeanor and go-with-the-flow attitude helped ease our worries and stress while completing this project. He has contacts that are local, family owned businesses that helped create a quality and long lasting home that will stand on family land for generations to come. His ability to guide us through this project from ground up is a true testament to his patience and dedication. We will forever be grateful for his knowledge and guidance. Thank you for our home and the chance to create a life for our children where I grew up. If you get a chance, check out his projects on Facebook, the quality speaks for itself! I asked a fellow co worker what she would have changed about her new build after living in it for 9 months and she said her “Builder”. Never once have we regretted choosing Schrage Construction for our forever home.Posted on cory301Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to work with and keen on details! This was the first time we built a home and I am so glad we went with this company. They made it easy, Travis was willing to go through all of our questions or concerns. They were able to tailor the floor plan to what we wanted and needed. When issues raised they were on top of getting it fixed right away. The result was top notch construction with high quality finishes. We couldn't be happier with Schrage Construction!Posted on Curtis ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are extremely happy with our new home built by Schrage Construction! Travis and Tash were amazing to work with, and the various contractors were carefully chosen to assure quality. Each aspect of the home was done with attention to the details that make our home unique. Communication among the team and with us was frequent and consistent. We are so impressed with Schrage Construction and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to build your dream home! Top notch!!Posted on Vicki & Gary OwensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Travis and his workers and subcontractors were top notch, courteous, and very professional. We are extremely pleased with our new three stall garage and a breezeway with a bathroom that they added onto our existing farmhouse. Travis was excellent at communicating with us regarding the actual house addition and when workers would be here. Construction progressed daily and in a timely fashion. We would highly recommend Schrage Construction for your home building projects.Posted on Lori ParksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a very naïve person not really knowing what I was getting into, I mentioned to a co-worker Tasha I was thinking about building back in 2017. Tasha is Travis Schrage's wife and so she got me connected with him to talk through what my options and he was kind enough to look at potential lots with me and talk to the developers who owned the lots to see if they would be available for anyone to build on. Unfortunately due to some location restraints, I ended up choosing an existing spec house through another builder so this first part is just to say: Travis was very kind and wonderful to walk me through some designs, look at and advise on lots, even knowing I might not be able to choose him as the builder. Fast forward to 2023 when I am considering finishing the basement of this new house. As a custom home builder, I didn't know if he would even consider such a project but he did come out and bid and again talk through my ideas. His bid was in line with others. Unfortunately, my wallet was not in line with construction reality I guess, so I decided to tackle just the bathroom and shelter in the basement instead of the whole space. Travis still agreed to do the project. He completed the prep work and framing himself, and then managed the project, calendar, and subcontractors wonderfully. My only little note is that sometimes not knowing anything myself about construction or these projects or how these things get done, I could have benefitted from a little more hand-holding/detailed explanations during the different phases or maybe wanted a chance to give more input for a specific item before it was already in process. Since my project was not a whole home build that he is used to, maybe those discussions do happen in his regular workflows. Ultimately, I am so happy with the finished product and get so many compliments. When my wallet and I get comfortable enough to do the rest, I hope Travis will be willing to work with me again!Posted on Jeremy MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to work with. Everyone says building a home is stressful, with Schrage we found it to be the opposite. We enjoyed the process and look forward to building with them again!!Posted on Tiffany FrambachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first time building a home and wasn't sure what to expect. Travis and his team made the whole experience flawless and was willing to help us through all our changes. Even after the build, Travis is always there to help with any issues! If you need a quality built home, call Schrage Construction!Posted on JessyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I decided it was time to build our house right before the pandemic hit. We were both pretty clueless about the whole process and didn’t have much leads on builders. We reached out to a few to meet with and then bam the world shut down. Travis responded to all of our questions and had a great website with his builds and specs. He worked with us and the architect to come up with a floor plan that worked best for us. We had lots of communication via email/text before we actually met in person to go over our contract, which was great. We had lots of questions through the whole process, Travis and his team were great at answering them all! He was always ahead of the game if any issues came up and was there to help us in anyway he could. Travis also uses local suppliers and subs to complete homes instead of your big box stores. We love to support local and they were all very helpful to reach the look we were going for but also help us stay in budget. We learned lots about shower heads and faucets, who knew there was so much to learn about them! 😂 Travis seems like a pretty laid back guy which I think is great when it comes to building homes. We have been in our house a little over a year now and we love our custom home. If you want a well built home done in a timely manner, reasonable price range I would 100% recommend Travis with Schrage Construction to anyone who is looking to build!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
