Custom Home Builder With Over A Century of Commitment
Commitment to quality, value and superior craftsmanship are the foundations Mikkelson Builders has built upon since 1908. The ideas that were the building blocks of our founder Fred A Mikkelson nearly a century ago are the cornerstones of the fourth generation of the Mikkelson family business today. Our strong reputation and longevity in the Milwaukee and surrounding area are proof that these ideals are not a thing of the past. For over 100 years, Mikkelson Builders has continued to combine the best of innovation with tradition for Home, Office and Commercial construction.

FAQ : Common Questions From Prospective Clients
What areas of Wisconsin do you build custom homes in?
We build throughout Milwaukee’s Northshore and the surrounding region, including Mequon, Bayside, River Hills, Cedarburg, Thiensville, Grafton, Saukville, Port Washington, Germantown, West Bend, Jackson, Richfield, Hubertus, Fond du Lac, and throughout Ozaukee and Washington Counties. If you’re unsure whether we build in your area, just give us a call — we’re happy to discuss your location.
Can I build on my own lot, or do you only build in specific developments?
Both! You are welcome to build on a lot you already own, or we can help you identify and select a suitable lot from our curated selection of available properties in the Milwaukee area. Either way, we’ll work with you from the very beginning to make sure the site is right for your vision
What is “True Cost Billing” and how does it work?
True Cost Billing is our transparent approach to construction pricing — and it is rarely seen in the home building industry. Rather than presenting a single lump-sum contract, we provide you with a fully itemized breakdown of every cost category, including materials, labor, overhead, and profit, so you know exactly where every dollar goes. It also gives you the flexibility to substitute your own contractors for any category if you choose. We believe in complete honesty and transparency, and this system reflects that.

“My wife and I love the Mid-Century Modern look and feel. After talking with Fred Dahms it was a clear choice we wanted to work with him and Mikkelson. Fred listened to our thoughts and was able to take our initial ideas and turn them into something far better than we had envisioned.
Although our project wasn’t the largest, we were always treated top notch by Mikkelson. We highly recommend Mikkelson!”
