A Jason Thomas Homeshome is a unique reflection of you. With over 15 years of experience, Jason T. Kratochwill, Owner/Founder, specializes in crafting custom homes that are tailored to meet the distinct needs and dreams of each client - every build is one-of-a-kind.
Building a home with Jason often starts in the company showroom located on Hubbard Ave in downtown Middleton. “Building is a relationship,” says Jason, and “Getting to know clients is important in any business, but when your business is building the home your client will live in for years after, it’s something you have to get right.”
“It's important to understand who they are, what they want, and how they live. I’m a little old-fashioned, I like to have people in person in the showroom so we can read their body language and see their faces, and make sure we’re all on the same page with this vision. We all really need to get it right.”
Jason is more than willing to get creative when it comes to demystifying the home-building process.
“It can be tricky getting from a piece of paper, an idea in your head, or pictures in your phone to a full 3D space, but that’s how a house is built. I had a couple this morning struggling with deciding on the right size for a pantry. So I measured the space in our office, put a couple of chairs up, and said, ‘Now stand in here with me.’ And it made sense.”
In addition to a staff of seven full and part-time professionals to assist each client, Jason Thomas Homes also utilizes cutting-edge technology that ensures transparency during the build.
“They get a phone app that connects them to every stage of their build from the calendar, photos and communications. It has a macro budget tracking system to help clients manage their elective expenditures and keep a big-picture perspective of the total cost. Our process is probably more collaborative than other experiences people have with building.”
A truly custom home forces people to think about how they live and the right features for them. Some of Jason’s projects have incorporated a family heirloom antique door and transom, a full power bank with off-grid capabilities, a barn to match their home, and a fully custom chilled wine cellar.
“We don't use model plans here. All of our homes are one of a kind. If you have something cool and unique you want to do, we'll figure it out.”
This commitment to creativity ensures that each home is not only functional but also deeply personal and high quality. A Jason Thomas Homes home doesn’t just meet building codes—it exceeds them. From upgraded furnace systems to comprehensive radon mitigation, Jason’s approach prioritizes long-term health, safety, and durability.
“I really want the house to look new when it's seven years old and decisions to be made as if I were making them myself. We don't cut corners.” One thing you can always count on is his honest thoughts.
“I'll say if something wouldn't be my first choice. At the end of the day, if we disagree, that is ok, it’s their home after all. I would feel like I wasn't doing my job if I didn't at least raise my hand every once in a while, just to make sure we talk things through. I want my clients to make good, informed decisions.”
Building about 15 homes a year, Jason is able to keep a close eye on every house they build. In recent years, Jason has expanded his vision as a niche developer, creating Evans Crossing, a 15-lot development. The development is located near the intersection of Mineral Point and Pioneer Roads with coveted neighborhood access to the Town trail system, Pioneer Pointe golf course and club, and walking distance to West Middleton Elementary. New homeowners started moving in this past summer and there are only a few lots left to build.
“I've always had a vision for what I wanted a neighborhood to look like, and Evans Crossing has allowed me to put a signature and stamp on what my product is. It has been very rewarding.”
In both his homes and Evans Crossing, Jason’s passion for quality and client satisfaction is evident in every detail.
