Serving the communities we call home Local expertise for your remodeling project
Stebnitz Builders has deep roots in Walworth County. For three generations, our family has lived, worked, and built within the communities of the Lakes Area. To ensure we can deliver the highest level of responsiveness and project management, we focus our services within a specific 25-30 minute radius of our Elkhorn office. This allows our team to be on-site daily, monitoring quality and keeping your project on schedule.

Why choose Stebnitz Our Story
At Stebnitz Builders, we believe the most successful renovations are built on a foundation of trust and active listening. Our process is centered on your story—taking the time to understand your lifestyle and your vision. By combining decades of refined craftsmanship with a commitment to open communication, we transform your inspiration into a home that feels uniquely yours.
Quality that endures Our Five-Year Workmanship Promise
While a one-year warranty is the industry standard, we believe our craftsmanship should be held to a higher level of accountability. At Stebnitz Builders, we guarantee our workmanship for five years. This extended commitment is a reflection of our attention to detail and the reason so many clients trust us with their homes time and time again. We don’t just build for today; we build for your future.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Service Area
Do you take projects in Milwaukee or Madison?
Generally, no. To maintain our high standards of quality control and daily site supervision, we rarely travel beyond 45 minutes from our office. We believe you deserve a contractor who is close enough to give your home daily attention.
Do you work in Northern Illinois?
While we love our neighbors to the south, our licensing and trade partner network are primarily focused on Wisconsin codes and regulations within Walworth County.
I am just outside your listed cities. Will you work on my home?
Please give us a call! If you are on the border of our service area, we are happy to discuss your project. We review these on a case-by-case basis depending on the scope of work and our current schedule.
Does being "local" matter for permits?
Yes. We have decades of experience working with the specific building inspectors and zoning boards in Lake Geneva, Delavan, and Williams Bay. We know the local nuances that can save time and avoid headaches during the permitting process.
Do you charge for travel time?
No. Because we work locally, our travel costs are minimized, meaning your budget goes toward craftsmanship and materials rather than paying for our team to sit in traffic.
