What people are saying about us

We specialize in a wide range of construction services, including residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

Oaklen Homes has been an amazing experience for me - Cory is currently building my house, and I couldn't have asked for a better process. I had no idea how to build a house, but he's taught me everything I need to know, from financing and personal budgeting to the construction process and choosing countertops. Anytime I felt unsure about the project, Cory took the time to explain things, so I never felt in the dark. The whole experience has been very smooth, and I would highly recommend Oaklen to anyone who is looking for a builder who actually cares.

Megan Stromer Standard Builder Service

Cory at Oaklen was awesome to work with. He helped me with house plan design; you can tell he comes from a building and construction background with the experience he brings. What really stood out to me was how well his communication was - he makes everything super clear, sets expectations upfront, and walks you through the whole process so there are no surprises. He's also a really great teacher, explaining the nuances and steps of construction, making the whole process easier. If you need a solid home builder or general contractor, Cory's your guy. I highly recommend!

Andy Bergmann Jump Start Service

We used Cory to manage our house build and it went flawlessly. He jumped into our project without being in on the design phase but that didn't slow anything down, as he quickly put together a game plan to get the project rolling. Cory kept the sub contractors in check and made sure the job was done right and on time. Anytime I had questions, he quickly communicated and resolved issues I had. We are very happy with the outcome and final result of our home. Best of all we came in under budget!
