ooking for a new home can be a difficult endeavour. Whether you are purchasing a previously owned home or designing your own build, it is important that the home is built by a trustworthy name. Kratz Homes has been a company to trust in Regina for the last 55 years.

First impressions are lasting impressions. From the moment someone walks into the Kratz Homes office, a bond is formed. Joe Kratz, original owner and founder of the home building business, is now 80 years old and still involved with operations. Although the family patriarch, Joe Kratz, passed on the legacy to his sons Ralph and Joe Jr., his vision and dreams remain.

year. In building that many, we are able to be completely hands-on during the build process. We have great working relationships with our trades, some of which are second and third generation. Ralph has been working with his dad since his teen years and he knows and understands the business. “When you are with your dad all the time you may not realise you are learning and accumulating knowledge.

You are knowledgeable about the industry just by being around that environment.”

The company recently celebrated Ralph’s brother Joe becoming a partner. Both sons are thrilled to still have dad around to be able to tap into his wealth of knowledge. “The vision of the company has remained to provide quality homes. We take pride in that. If there are ever any issues or concerns throughout the build process or upon

Celebrates 55 Years! completion, we want to fix that. We strive to give our clients exactly what they are looking for.”

Throughout their years of hard work, Kratz Homes has received an array of awards and acknowledgements. Having been in good standing since the beginning of operations with the Regina and Region Home Builders’ Association, Kratz Homes takes pride in the awards received because it shows that through the test of time, their values as a company have remained solid. Our Customer Choice Awards are the most meaningful because they signify that our customers are happy with our work, and it is an honour to receive a Customer Choice Award.

Kratz Homes has also been awarded the Platinum Service Award by the Saskatchewan New Homes Warranty Program for maintenance of quality workmanship and materials (since 1979). It is clear to see that

building great homes is the priority.

Customer service has always been the key to success for our business.

In 2011, this was proven with 96% of Kratz builds coming from referral clients. With that percentage of satisfaction, the Kratz logo has come to signify trust and quality. “We are proud of the fact that when one of our homes is being resold, the Kratz name is used as a selling feature.

The relationships built are what make the journey worth it. In the beginning, no one knew the Kratz name, 55 years later Reginians are searching specifically to purchase homes built by the same man who founded this long lasting company and his family. Fifty-five years and counting, cheers to the Kratz company for many more happy and successful years to come. n

Congratulations Kratz Homes on Celebrating 55 years of success!
