We are in the process of building a Ranch Classic Series built-to-order house in Norwalk with Ground Breaker Homes. Kalen and Grant have been with us the whole way answering our questions and concerns in a timely manner. We are very excited to move into the house we have made our own.

Ranch Classic Series
The entire Ground Breaker Homes Team is amazing to work with. The homes they build are top-notch with high attention to the details that really make a home special. I would highly recommend working with Kalen and her entire team from choosing your lot to building your home.

Working with Ground Breaker Homes was incredibly easy. They walked us through the whole process, what to expect, and were able to finish the home and have us move in earlier than expected! Let’s face it – building a house is a big task and we expected a few bumps in the road, but we appreciated that they stepped up and got those things resolved quickly and efficiently. How you handle those bumps means more to us than having the bumps at all. And we had a team of people at GBH that handled it all for us. Grant, Kalen, and the rest of the GBH crew made sure we were taken care of. From the framing contractors who were amazing to the final little details of installing the kitchen pulls and towel racks, it was a good experience. Their contractors did a nice job of always keeping the property picked up and clean and that, to us, showed respect for what they were doing. They took pride in their jobs and made sure that we were happy with everything along the way. Grant was on site frequently and spent many hours watching the sump pump when we had 8 inches of rain one evening! It was nice to know someone was looking out for us. Now we have a beautiful home that will withstand the years and we’ve already recommended GBH to our friends.

First time new home buyer. We didn't know what to expect. Great experience with Kalen Ludwig and our realtor Jenny Farrell. We're very very happy with our villa in the Great Western Crossing. Very confident that Kalen will still be a resource for us as new residents in the agrihood.

We love our beautiful home! The Ground Breaker team did a great job at building us a quality home where we will grow our family!
Grant and Kenzie
We love our new home built by Ground Breaker Homes in the Great Western Crossing. The exterior farmhouse aesthetic is very charming and befitting of an Iowa Agrihood. The unique interior layout, high quality finishes, and attention to details were evident as soon as we stepped foot into the house. The kitchen is absolutely our favorite room. The Ground Breaker staff was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the building process. We would highly recommend Ground Breaker Homes for a new build.

We absolutely love the house. We have had friends and family over and they all adore the work that Ground Breaker Homes did. We will continue to show off the great work that you all did at every opportunity! It is such a great home for entertaining, and we are really taking advantage of that.

Kalen and the GBH team are a truly client-centric group which is something we hold at high importance. Their building process from start to finish is clear and concise which empowers clients to make educated decisions. Clients are able to ease into their life in a Ground Breaker Home happy and satisfied.

Kalen was wonderful to work with. She was extremely helpful in making decisions and very understanding if there was ever an issue. She was prompt with responses and worked extremely hard to make sure we were always happy throughout the entire process.

We had a great experience with Ground Breaker Homes. We started the house-hunting process not even expecting to buy a new house but then we found the Style Setter Deluxe layout, saw how many boxes it checked that we wanted in a house, and the next thing we knew we were buying a house from GBH! Kalen and her entire team were accommodating to what we wanted throughout the entire process. We worked directly with their designer, trim carpenter, and project manager and were more confident after each interaction that our new home was being built with the quality and attention to detail that we needed. We even made a few very last-minute requests that we didn’t expect to be accommodated but GBH satisfied every one of the requests! We absolutely love our new house and make it our home. Thank you, GBH!

Our experiences with Ground Breaker Homes have always been extremely positive. They are very organized and it's refreshing to see a streamlined process for homebuyers. Building a home can be extremely stressful, but Ground Breaker has been fantastic at making the process as easy as possible.
