Our Reason to Give:
“When a child becomes seriously ill or injured treatment can sometimes last for weeks or even months. And for children facing these crises, nothing is scarier than the thought of not having mom and dad close by for love and support. Ronald McDonald House Charities® Eastern Wisconsin provides a place to call home—a place where they can feel safe, focus on treatment, and heal together. Ronald McDonald House Charities® Eastern Wisconsin was built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child – not finding a place to stay or where they will get their next meal. After learning about the healing environment that RMHC creates for the entire family, we felt compelled to help. It was easy to see how the love and support of family is just as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed. Our business is focused on building homes where families can spend their time together and create wonderful memories. By supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities® Eastern Wisconsin and hosting the Christmas Fantasy House for our second year, we’re extending that ideal to give families in need an incredible gift — the gift of each other and a stress-free place to call ‘home’ during treatment.” — John Stoker, Founder and President of Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc.

Germantown, January 22, 2021 – Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc. has won a “Best Of Houzz” award for Design on Houzz®, the leading platform for home renovation and design. The eighteen year old building company was built on three principles — quality construction, providing an enjoyable building experience and offering homeowners the opportunity to customize their home design.

“We believe that building your home is a life event that should be both celebrated and enjoyed.  Every home we build is a result of a partnership that begins the first time our clients walk through our door—and doesn’t end until they walk through the door of their new home,” says John Stoker, Founder and President.

Victory Homes of Wisconsin was chosen by the millions of homeowners that comprise the Houzz community from among more than 2.5 million active home building, remodeling and design industry professionals.

The Best Of Houzz badge is awarded annually, in three categories: Design, Customer Service and Photography. Design awards honor professionals whose work was the most popular among the Houzz community. Customer Service honors are based on several factors, including a pro’s overall rating on Houzz and client reviews submitted in 2020. Architecture and interior design photographers whose images were most popular are recognized with the Photography award.

A “Best Of Houzz 2021” badge will appear on winners’ profiles as a sign of their commitment to excellence. These badges help homeowners identify popular and top-rated home professionals in every metro area on Houzz.

Victory Homes of Wisconsin is pleased to announce that we have won this prestigious Best of Houzz Award recognizing of the service we provide and the quality of homes we are building.

“The Best Of Houzz awards are an emblem of trust and credibility for home professionals across the U.S. and around the world, and we are excited to celebrate this year’s winners,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of Industry Marketing for Houzz. “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for people to feel comfortable before inviting pros into and around their homes, and the Best Of Houzz badge is a powerful way for pros to communicate the trust that homeowners have in their business. It’s just one of many tools on the Houzz platform that help pros to communicate their unique expertise, and homeowners to find the right professionals for their projects.”

Milwaukee area homebuilding posts best year since the Great Recession

Paul Gores, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – Jan. 25, 2019

Home construction in the metro Milwaukee area enjoyed its best year in 2018 since the Great Recession, fueled by a strong economy and slimmer pickings in the used-home market.

Permits to build new homes in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties totaled 1,488 last year, up 3.5 percent from 1,437 in 2017, data from MTD Marketing Services of Wisconsin Inc. shows.

Although single-family homes and duplexes didn’t go up at the rapid pace of the early 2000s, it was the best showing since 1,683 building permits were issued in the four counties in 2007.

Oconomowoc recorded the most permits for new homes with 95, up from 63 in 2017.  Among other popular spots for new home construction last year were Menomonee Falls, Waukesha, New Berlin, Mequon, Summit and Sussex, according to MTD.

“There’s more and more new developments and subdivisions going up because developers’ confidence is there because of the economic conditions,” said David Roembke, vice president of sales and co-owner of Germantown-based The Victory Companies, which is the parent company of Victory Homes of Wisconsin and Allan Builders. “There’s more opportunity and options for people to build in places that you haven’t seen in the past.”

Affordability, skilled labor become issues

The average value of homes for which permits were issued in the four-county metro area was $381,559, MTD’s report indicates. That was up 3 percent from $370,405 in 2017. The average size of new homes was 2,894 square feet.

The price of new homes has been driven up by the costs of labor, lumber and lots, making it economically challenging to build houses in the in-demand $300,000 or less market, builders say. Many of the new homes that went up in suburban Milwaukee in 2018 cost at least $400,000.

The cost of lumber has stabilized, Roembke said, but skilled labor has been hard to find. Many experienced tradespeople permanently left the home construction business during the housing crisis that was part of the Great Recession.

“Labor, because of supply and demand, these guys are getting top dollar now in the trades, as they should,” Roembke said. “They are good at what they do, and in order to keep them busy and keep them working for you as a builder, you pay them. You keep it in line, but the costs have gone up significantly.”

Roembke, whose company mostly constructs high-end houses, said when home shoppers can’t find exactly what they want in the existing market and weigh the costs of buying a used house and renovating it, more of them have been choosing to build new instead.

“I think the existing (home) market is just not offering enough benefit and features for the value,” he said. “So we see a lot of people choosing therefore to build.”

Roembke said he thinks homebuilding will grow further in 2019.

Roembke, a member of the Metropolitan Builders Association, said the organization’s recent annual Home Building & Remodeling Show at State Fair Park in West Allis was a big success, which bodes well for the new year. The show generated more leads than normal, he said.

“When you have people coming to you with lots and looking for builders, those are good signs — those are really good signs,” Roembke said.

John Stoker – President, Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc.

Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc. President, John Stoker, Named 2018 
Metropolitan Builders Association Builder of the Year

Germantown, WI (December 3, 2018) – The Metropolitan Builders Association (MBA) hosted its annual Achievement Awards and Installation Dinner on November 30th, at The Legend at Brandybrook in Wales. John Stoker, President of Wisconsin home building company, Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc., was awarded the prestigious 2018 Builder of the Year award. This distinguished award recognizes leaders in the building industry who exhibit integrity, strength of personal character, excellence in quality craftsmanship and the ability to navigate challenging economic times. Partners, David Pluim and David Roembke, along with Phil Morgan, General Manager/Vice President of Operations accepted the award on behalf of Stoker, who wasn’t able to attend the event.

The MBA’s Builder of the Year award has been given to one outstanding builder each year since 1953. The award is unique in that it is given by a committee of past recipients which means that in many situations, it’s an award given by his peers.

Stoker’s involvement with the MBA began over 19 years ago and includes service on numerous Boards and Committees within the Association. He recently served as the 2017 President, has been on various Parade of Homes Committees (in fact he has had two or more Parade of Homes models in every Parade since 2003!), Parade of Homes Site Selection Committee, Construction Arbitration Board, and most recently on the Executive Board of Directors. One accomplishment that Stoker is particularly proud of is his intentional use of MBA Members. He ranks among the top eight lifetime recruiters for the MBA and had gone to great lengths to educate subcontractors on the value of Membership.

“It is a great honor to be presented with the 2018 Builder of the Year award. As a longtime member of the MBA, I would like to thank the Association and all of its Members for presenting me with this prestigious award,” said Stoker. “I am honored to be recognized alongside my colleagues and previous Builder of the Year recipients. This award is one of the most coveted honors in the home building industry.”

Stoker, who came up through the ranks of the business, is very proud of his accomplishments and his building companies’ award winning home designs. In 2003 he purchased the assets of Victory Homes, LTD and set out to change the local building industry. Since then the Victory Companies Team has acquired several building companies, each time incorporating only the best building practices. Today, each of The Victory Companies (comprised of Victory Homes of Wisconsin, Inc., Allan Builders, LLC and Victory Renovations, LLC) has a reputation for home building that focuses on quality materials, craftsmanship and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Stoker credits his parents for instilling a strong work ethic and wise, conservative approach to business that is reflected in everything he does.
