Our Process

John Garcia Construction focuses on custom homes, major remodels, and well-planned additions. Our projects are typically for homeowners looking for a professional construction experience where planning, craftsmanship, and communication are a priority.

John Garcia Construction serves homeowners throughout Central and Northern Wisconsin. Our primary service areas include Wausau, Weston, Schofield, Rib Mountain, Rothschild, and Kronenwetter, as well as communities across Northern Wisconsin such as Tomahawk, Minocqua, Woodruff, Lake Tomahawk, Eagle River, and surrounding areas.

If you're planning a custom home, major renovation, or addition in Central or Northern Wisconsin, we’re happy to discuss your project.

Yes. Our design-build process allows us to guide clients from the early planning and design stages all the way through construction and project completion.

By managing both the design and construction phases, we’re able to maintain better coordination, clearer communication, and a more organized project overall.

The first step is an initial consultation where we discuss your goals, ideas, timeline, and budget expectations.

From there we move into preconstruction planning, where design, scope, and budgeting are developed before construction begins. This planning phase helps ensure a smoother building process.

For most custom homes and major remodels, we recommend beginning the planning process 6–12 months before construction.

Starting early gives you the time needed to fully explore design ideas, develop a realistic budget, and make thoughtful decisions about layout, materials, and overall project scope. It also allows time for permitting, scheduling, and coordinating the many details that go into a successful construction project.

By investing time in planning upfront, clients are able to move into construction with greater clarity and confidence. This approach helps reduce unexpected changes during the build, keeps the project running more smoothly, and ultimately leads to a better finished result.

Our goal is to guide you through this planning phase so that when construction begins, everything is well organized and the process feels straightforward and manageable.

Yes. During the preconstruction phase we work with clients to develop a clear scope of work and a realistic project budget before construction begins.

Our goal is to establish clear expectations early and minimize surprises during the project.

Clear communication is a priority throughout every project. We use JobTread, a professional project management platform, to keep everything organized and accessible for our clients.

Through JobTread, clients can follow project progress, view schedules, review selections, track financials, and communicate directly with our team in one place. This allows everyone involved in the project to stay informed and helps ensure important information is easy to find.

In addition to the online platform, we also stay in regular contact through conversations on-site, phone calls, and meetings as needed. Our goal is to make sure clients always understand where their project stands and feel comfortable asking questions along the way.

By combining clear communication with an organized system, we aim to make the construction process feel structured, transparent, and manageable from start to finish.

Project timelines vary depending on size and complexity.

Typical ranges include:

• Major remodels: 3–6 months
• Custom homes: 9–14 months

During the planning phase we provide a projected schedule so clients understand the overall timeline.
