Business Spotlight: Jones & Jones
Award-Winning Home Builder
Jones & Jones recently earned recognition as the Best Home Builder in Marathon County during the 2026 Community’s Choice Awards. The company, operating for six years and completing around 60 builds, prides itself on delivering a seamless process that combines design, project management, and eco-friendly construction.
Community Impact
This accolade holds particular significance as it reflects the support of local residents, making it even more meaningful for the company.
The Dynamic Duo
Founded by Austin Jones and his wife, Jones & Jones began as an investment LLC. Although initially, his wife wasn’t expected to be heavily involved, she provides support in office tasks while Austin manages the everyday operations. He brings years of experience from another local builder to his role.
The team includes Belle Martin, the project manager and designer, who skillfully coordinates design and project management. They collaborate with Ryan Ott from Ott Development for on-site execution, creating a team that balances design prowess with field expertise.
Understanding “Design-Build”
The firm employs a design-build model that oversees every project phase under one banner, ensuring efficiency from initial site assessments to the final touches. This approach helps avoid costly redesigns and ensures compliance with local building codes, particularly helpful in navigating challenges posed by Wisconsin’s climate.
Prioritizing Energy Efficiency
In central Wisconsin, where temperatures can fluctuate significantly, the company prioritizes energy efficiency in their builds. Homes are built with advanced air sealing and insulation to manage heating and cooling effectively, ensuring longevity and cost-saving for homeowners.
Cost per Square Foot Explained
Austin Jones highlights that the cost per square foot in custom home construction can be misleading. Understanding how basement spaces are calculated can significantly affect this figure, and the company focuses on providing transparent pricing to their clients.
Future Plans
With a strategy to expand carefully, Jones & Jones is currently working on custom homes and speculative builds, with plans to develop residential subdivisions in the future. They continue to serve clients across Marathon, Lincoln, and Portage Counties.
