Willow Ridge Design Build

What’s the beauty of building custom with us? Well we could go on and on!

Matt and I have different tasks every day. Yesterday, we started the detached shed at one of our latest projects. Matt can seriously do it all, from excavating to pouring footing to framing it up. I end up being his trusty sidekick and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

The Personal Touch Behind Willow Ridge. 🏡🔨

One thing we’re really proud of at Willow Ridge is that we’re not just general contractors managing a project from behind a desk.

You’ll find both of us out on our jobsites, checking on progress, working alongside our subcontractors, paying attention to the little details, and sometimes even getting our hands dirty!

Between the two of us, we bring years of experience in home building, carpentry, woodworking, and the many different aspects that go into building a home. We don’t just understand the process of building a house, we understand the work that goes into it.
We started Willow Ridge because we wanted to do things a little differently. We wanted our clients to know who they’re working with, feel comfortable picking up the phone, and know that we genuinely care about their home as much as they do.

We’re a small, hands-on builder, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

That’s the personal touch we hope every Willow Ridge homeowner experiences.

Not All Builders Are Created Equal… and That's Kind of the Point! 😉

What makes Willow Ridge Design Build different?

We LISTEN. Your home should reflect YOUR lifestyle, not a cookie-cutter floor plan.

We COMMUNICATE. No guessing games! We keep you informed every step of the way.

We LOVE the details. It's the little things that make a house feel like home.

QUALITY matters. We work with trusted subcontractors who take pride in their craftsmanship.

We CARE. You're not just another project on our schedule.

We're not trying to build the most homes. We're focused on building the RIGHT homes, the RIGHT way.

And guess what? We think building your dream home should be FUN!

The plans are complete, and we’re getting ready to bring our 2027 Parade of Homes home to life!

We are building this home with the intention of finding its future owners before completion in June 2027, which means there is still an opportunity to make it YOUR home along the way.

✨ Purchase early and you may have the opportunity to:
• Make select changes to the plans
• Personalize finishes and selections
• Put your own style into the home before construction is complete
• Take advantage of Parade of Homes discounts from participating local vendors

This is a unique opportunity to get many of the benefits of building a custom home, without starting the entire process from scratch.

📍 Kilkenny Farms West | Waunakee
🏡 Lot 272
🌳 Full walkout lot bordering an outlot to the south and east
☀️ East-facing backyard
🔑 Completion: June 2027
🏠 Featured in the 2027 Madison Area Parade of Homes

The earlier you purchase, the more opportunity you'll have to make this home feel like yours.

NEW ON THE BLOG!

Did you know two homes with the same square footage can have significantly different price tags?

In our newest blog, we break down how some of the biggest design decisions impact your building budget:
🏠 Ranch vs. two-story
⬇️ Finishing the lower level
🚗 Front-facing vs. angled vs. carriage-style garages
📐 Why the footprint and rooflines matter just as much as square footage

Before you fall in love with a floor plan, it’s important to understand how the design itself affects the cost to build. Reaching out to a trusted builder, like ourselves, and starting the process from the jump will save you time and money in the long run.

When planning a custom home, one of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that square footage determines price.
