Who we are

Roost Homes is a family-owned manufactured and modular home dealer based in Wisconsin. We operate as a hybrid online/in-person business — which means lower overhead, a more flexible process, and a more personal experience than a traditional sales lot. We work with multiple Wisconsin-trusted factories to find the right home for your budget and goals. And when it’s time to meet in person, we’re here.

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..
