Custom home builder in Eagle River, WI
Homes on and near the Eagle River chain of lakes.
Eagle River is the Vilas County seat and is known for its chain of lakes. Roshak Builders builds custom homes, additions and remodels in the Eagle River area, from shoreline lots to wooded parcels off the water.
Scott Roshak has been building homes for more than 25 years, and he works on Eagle River projects himself rather than handing you to a salesperson.
Building in Eagle River
- Lakefront lots along the chain, where the shoreline and the view decide where the house sits
- Wooded parcels with long driveways and private settings
- Older cabins and lake homes that are due for a remodel or an addition
What to plan for
A lake home on a chain this size is a long-term investment, so lot evaluation, shoreline rules and the septic plan come before the design. Winter shapes the build too: footings go below frost depth, and roof design has to handle snow. Scott builds those into the plan from the first conversation.
What Scott builds here
- Custom lake homes: Homes designed around the water, the view and how you use the shoreline.
- New custom homes: Modern lake homes and classic Northwoods designs, built by the owner.
- Lot evaluation and site prep: Know what the land can do before you commit.
Questions about building in Eagle River
Do you build on the Eagle River chain of lakes?
Yes. Scott builds in the Eagle River area and will look at any lot for the right project.
Is Eagle River a good place for a year-round home or a seasonal one?
Both are common. Scott builds with northern Wisconsin winters in mind either way: insulation, roof design for snow and a heating plan you can rely on. Tell him how often you will use the home and he will plan to that.
Who handles permits for a new home near Eagle River?
It depends on where the lot sits. The town and the county each have a role, and shoreland and septic permits often go through the county. Scott helps you work out which offices apply to your lot.
