Who we are

At Roost Homes, we make high-quality, attainable factory-built homes accessible to families across Wisconsin — whether you’re looking to buy direct from an online dealer or partner with a builder who can handle the full setup.

We’re a family-owned business based in Southeast Wisconsin with a simple mission:
✅ Make homeownership more attainable — without compromising quality
✅ Build and sell with integrity, transparency, and craftsmanship
✅ Strengthen Wisconsin communities through smarter housing solutions

Founded by Jim and Jessica Elder, Roost Homes was created to meet the growing demand for affordable, modern, and energy-efficient housing.

As Wisconsin natives and lifelong real estate professionals, Jim and Jess bring a hands-on, customer-first approach to every project. With years of experience managing and developing residential communities — primarily in the manufactured housing space — Jim saw an opportunity to simplify the path to homeownership, while Jessica ensures each client’s experience stays organized, personal, and stress-free.

Whether you’re a homebuyer, landowner, or developer, Roost Homes can help you select, order, and complete your home project with confidence..
