The MarK WinTer hoMes aDvanTage

I’ve been told that our homes have a special feel-ing unique to our floor plans, a sense of distinction and style that blend to give our homes a special aura all their own.

Our team is always searching to create spaces, rooms and flows that blend well with your lifestyle. The result are homes that people are proud to own – so much so, that people often use the Mark Winter Home name when reselling their home.

Buying one of our homes should be as easy as living in one. Here is the process:

1Selecting Your Home – Choose from many of our pre-priced plans or design your own. Build

on one of our “turn key” lots or on your own site. The choice is yours. We would be happy to discuss the process with you.

3 Personalize Your Home – Many of our home owners have told us this is the most enjoyable part of their homebuilding experi-ence. Our design showroom is set up to help you select every

component of your home. Forget about running around to suppliers all over town. Under one roof you can select siding, brick, stone, roofing, cabinets, counter tops, flooring, plumbing fixtures and much much more. Most of our clients can personalize their home in 6 hours and have everything selected! 4 Pre-Construction Meeting – This

is your chance to review the final details of your selections with your

customer service manager.

5 Pre-Drywall Walk-Through – This tour of your home

is your opportunity to “see inside the walls” and learn how your home is built. Your cus-tomer service manager will be with you every step of the way as we show off Mark Winter Homes workmanship. We’ll review the framing, electri-cal and plumbing work to ensure that everything is as you ordered.

6 New Home Orientation – Excitement is in the air as you join your customer ser-vice manager and warranty manager for a

first look at the quality workmanship of your new home. In addition to making sure everything is right, they’ll review with you how to operate all of the various systems in your home.

7 Settlement Day – The moment you’ve been waiting for!

Upon completion of your paperwork, your customer service manager will pres-ent you with the keys to your new home.

8 30-Day Follow-Up – This is where you find out how committed

Mark Winter Homes is to your ultimate satisfaction. It’s an op-portunity to let your warranty manager know if any adjust-ments need to be made, and make sure that your home is still everything you dreamed it would be.

9 1-Year Walk-Through – One year after closing, Mark Winter Homes is still there for you, giving you another

opportunity to let us know if everything is still perfect. And giving us one more oppor-tunity to keep it that way.

2 Selecting Your Structural options – You may choose to add square footage to

your plan, add a sunroom, add lower level daylight windows, finish your basement into living space or even raise the ceiling height! The choice is yours to make your home unique to fit your lifestyle.

Experience As is often the case, the longer you do something,

the better you become at it. Like home building. It’s an involved and complex process requiring the talents and cooperation of scores of suppliers, sub contractors and employees.

A builder that’s been around for decades, like Mark Winter, has the experience needed to ensure that everything comes together in the right way so you can begin making a lifetime of memories in your new home.

This doesn’t mean everything will go right, with thousands of products and hundreds of people order-ing, supplying, installing and in some way affecting the final result: your new home. Our commitment to you is to be responsive and service-oriented when issues do arise.

Quality Mark Winter Homes defines quality as the process

of selecting products, suppliers and sub contractors that deliver on time, provide outstanding crafts-manship and stand behind their workmanship and products. That is why we select brand names like Trane, Kohler, Aristokraft Cabinets, Shaw Carpets,

Alliance Windows, Tyvek house wrap and local suppliers such as Builders Supply and Torberg Lumber.

Quality – The Hidden KindReal quality goes much deeper than the beauty

and style one sees upon entering our homes. Hid-den inside the walls of every Mark Winter Home are products and building techniques that deliver superior performance.

All of our homes always feature I joist construc-tion for a squeak free floor, Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes certification, extruded aluminum clad garage door frames, Alliance windows care-fully installed with spray foam and leak protected with Tyvek window flashings.

Commitment We are committed to standing behind our prod-

uct: If it’s wrong we’ll fix it. If it’s right we’ll ex-plain it. We have earned our reputation by treating our home buyers with the integrity, respect and responsiveness they deserve. We strive to provide outstanding service throughout your home buy-ing experience and into your home ownership. Be confident in your decision, build with Mark Winter Homes.

Mark Winter HomesThe Right Choice

Saving energy saves moneyChoose Trane to cut your utility bills

Higher efficiency Trane matched systems give you improved comfort at reduced operating costs by using fewer energy resources. With the right-sized system and one of Trane’s many high-effi-ciency products that meet or exceed Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes guidelines, you can keep down your utility bills and energy costs.

Which Trane residential products qualify?Remember that the higher the efficiency rating,

the greater the energy savings.

System assures homeowners of lower energy bills, improved indoor air quality, attractive design ap-pearance and, most importantly, improved comfort for their home.


CoTTageWooD CoMMons

Cottagewood Condominiums reflect Mark Winter’s 30+ years of experience in real estate, residential construction and development. This experience cou-pled with the need for affordable, well designed and pleasingly located housing brought about Cottagewood Condominiums. All of these elements shared equal importance in the conceptual and then actual development of this community.

Located in a prime Town of Menasha area, close to highway access, shopping and recreational opportunities, this site became the focus of our attention. The layout of the community maximizes privacy and green space while achieving the density necessary to keep ownership affordable. Our extensive list of stan-dard features ensures that even our most basic home is one that you could be proud of.

Most importantly, the input of people like you ultimately helped us to create this multi-generational community. We have been listening to your comments and suggestions over the years and have tried to incorporate them into this project. We thank you for your interest and hope you find that this community will meet your needs today and into the future.

Mark Winter Homes is committed to Wis-consin ENERGY STAR® Homes, and here’s why every new home buyer should insist on building one.

About Wisconsin ENERGY STAR®

HomesWisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes realizes

that building a new home is a big investment. The Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes Pro-gram helps you make the most of that invest-ment with a high performance home that saves energy and therefore money—year after year. And the Program proves it—every home in the Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes Program undergoes a series of site visits and perfor-mance tests, and must meet specific standards before being certified. This certification, con-ducted by an unbiased third-party consultant, is your assurance that your new home is com-fortable, safe, durable, and energy efficient.

Homeowners of a certified Wisconsin ENER-GY STAR® Home can expect all of the following in their new home:

• Comfort. Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes are more comfortable due to properly installed insulation and tight duct systems.

• Safety. With a Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Home, the quality is in the details.

• Improved indoor air quality. Wisconsin

Mark Winter, Owner

WisConsin energy sTar® hoMesENERGY STAR® Homes provide superior moisture control and conveniences like quiet exhaust fans, which all contribute to improved indoor air quality.

• Energy efficiency. Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes are estimated to be 25% more efficient than homes built to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code. This means that a Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Home helps to lower your cost of living and improve your quality of life.

On-Site Inspection and CertificationWith Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes,

your home is inspected by a third-party con-sultant three times during the construction process:

• The first on-site visit takes place after site framing—looking for unintentional holes that might lead to air leakage

• The second on-site visit is conducted after insulation is installed, when the consultant reviews your home for full insulation cover-age and proper installation.

• The third on-site visit takes place once your home is completed—Mark Winter Homes’ third-party consultant certifies that con-struction quality on your home meets Wis-consin ENERGY STAR® Homes Program standards. Our consultant partner measures

your home’s air tightness, checks ven-tilation capacity, measures exhaust flows, and tests the efficiency of your forced-air duct system.

Upon certification, you will receive a folder including a Ho-meowner’s Manual, a Certification Report, and a Wisconsin EN-ERGY STAR® Homes Certification Plaque. This is everything you will need to run your new home effi-ciently, and maintain its performance and value.

Lastly, Mark Winter Homes’ partnership with Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes helps you, the homeowner, reduce your carbon and ecological footprint. These homes are built in a way that helps preserve Wisconsin’s natural environment while providing inhabitants a safe and healthy indoor environment.

Mark Winter Homes is proud to partner with the Wisconsin ENERGY STAR® Homes Program. Please buy or build with a partner-ing Wisconsin ENERGY S T A R ® Homes builder.
