ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED * COMPUTER ENGINEERED * ENERGY EFFICIENT

Every Terrace Home is professionally designed, value engineered and efficiently assembled in Friendship, Wisconsin.  From concept to completion, the highest standards apply.  Constructed in a controlled environment, materials stay dry, and there are no labor or weather delays.  Because many tasks are automated efficiencies throughout, the building process far exceeds those applying to conventional construction.

THIRTY YEARS OF CREATING THE BEST LONG TERM VALUE FOR YOUR HOME BUYING DOLLAR

Terrace Homes has a history of providing long term value for our homebuyers, regardless of the level of initial investment. This is due to ageless design and the solid core from which each individual Terrace Home evolves.

The base price of every Terrace Home, regardless of shape or style, includes the same superior construction features and premium products referred to as our Gold Star Standards.
