One builder, start to finish

From raw land to a finished home, with one local crew

Most projects around Lake Livingston involve more than one trade. A new home on a wooded lot needs clearing, grading, a house pad and a foundation before framing can start. A kitchen remodel can uncover a soft subfloor. A new deck can make the old porch steps look tired.

Onalaska Builders takes on that whole range of work with our own crews, so you are not lining up a different contractor for every step. Whether you are planning a custom lake home, adding a garage, updating a bathroom or just need the gutters cleaned and a sticking door fixed, you can start with one call.

  • Our own crews do the work
  • Site prep, foundations and building under one company
  • Big builds and small repairs alike
  • Serving communities within about 35 miles of Onalaska

What we do

Building, remodeling, repair and outdoor services

Ten service areas, grouped the way a project usually unfolds: get the land ready and build, then remodel and maintain what you have, then take care of the outside.

Building on your land

How a new build comes together

Because site prep, foundations and construction are all services we offer, a new home or outbuilding can move from one stage to the next without changing contractors.

  1. Clearing & dirt work

    Land clearing, grading, drainage and the house pad get the lot ready to build.

  2. Foundation

    A slab or crawl space foundation, chosen to suit the house, the lot and the ground it sits on.

  3. The build

    A custom home, spec home, guest house, garage or other outbuilding, built on that foundation.

  4. Outside finishes

    Driveways, concrete flatwork, decks, patios and landscaping to complete the property.

About new home construction

Lake and timber country

Building around Lake Livingston

Property around the lake ranges from waterfront lots to wooded acreage spread across Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity and Walker counties. Many lots need trees and brush cleared before anything else can happen, and ground conditions vary from one lot to the next, so drainage and foundation decisions are worth getting right early.

If you own land and are not sure where to start, tell us about the property. We can talk through clearing, pad placement, the foundation and the build as one project instead of four separate ones.
