Story

When Joe Lemel started Lemel Homes, Inc. in 1983, he had a telephone, a car and some space in the office of a friend. But more importantly, Joe Lemel had a vision of how he wanted to create the kind of homes people really wanted. It is all he really needed.

"I wanted to individualize the process of building a home," Lemel said. "There were very few people doing customized homes at the time, and those that were charged a lot of premiums. I wanted to build customized homes without the high premiums, so the homes would be more affordable. And I never wanted to be so big that I couldn't offer a high level of individual service to every customer."

Nearly a thousand homes later, Lemel Homes, Inc. is still meeting or exceeding the needs of its customers and building homes that suit their individual needs and tastes.

"We service people to death and do anything it takes to do the right thing for the people we deal with," Lemel says. "My philosophy is very uncomplicated. It is a matter of ultimate honesty and ultimate commitment to ensuring the expectations of our customers."

Growing up in the Milwaukee area, Lemel became interested in construction because many of his mother's friends were in the business. "I was fascinated with what they had to do during the course of the day. I thought it was something I could do, that would have a impact on people's lives. I loved this business from the very start because it is very creative, very rewarding," he said.

Lemel graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a major in Business and Real Estate and in 1976, while already working for a builder who specialized in single family homes and developments.

In 1983 Lemel decided to start his own company, because he wanted to individualize homes instead of building the same models over and over again. Although the firm has several models that customers can work from, he says with pride, "We have yet to put up the same house twice."

Lemel Homes can offer high quality to all of its customers because Lemel has surrounded himself with people who share his goals.

"They are just a hard working group of people. We are all willing to do whatever it takes to do the job right. In fact, our goal is to always exceed our customers expectations," said Lemel.

Wouldn't recommend to anyone. They don't stand behind the people they subcontract out to. The plumbers they hired to do all the plumbing for our house Alpine Plumbing were complete hacks and we've had to replace all the 1in pipes in our 8 year old house. Numerous other things that the builders did in this house were done poorly such as the outlets not even being straight, the spindles on our front porch arent evenly spaced, the stain on the wood inside our house was put on sloppy. How hard is it to get out a level and a tape measure and make sure things are done neat?
Two words not in Joe Lemel's vocabulary; IMPOSSIBLE and PROBLEM. Through the duration of my kitchen design and remodel I requested several features other contractors would not even consider. The Lemel team rose to the challenges and exceeded my expectations. In any construction project one expects the unexpected. During my remodel the unforeseen was never treated as a problem. Lemel's experience and creativity turned what others would call a problem into an opportunity. My overall experience was very satisfying. I lived in my home during the remodel and was treated with great consideration for privacy and safety. I was informed beforehand what to expect, when the trades were coming and how long projects would take. The subcontractors were equally courteous and willing to give a little extra when needed. I still wake up in the morning and can't believe this beautiful kitchen is mine. The quality of the custom woodwork, granite surfaces and unique design elements are second to none. Support has also been unparalleled and at the end of the day, that's the true tell of who you're working with.
Great home builder
