We are incredibly honored to share that Schell Brothers has been named Best Home Builder/Home Construction Company in the 2026 Best of Boise Awards. This recognition, voted on by the Treasure Valley community, is especially meaningful because it comes from the people we build for and alongside every day.
Last week, members of our Boise team had the privilege of attending the Best of Boise Gala to celebrate with fellow local businesses, community leaders, and organizations that help make the Treasure Valley such a special place to live. It was an evening filled with great conversation, delicious food and drinks, and an appreciation for the businesses that continue to shape our growing community.
While the award itself is exciting, what it represents means even more to us.
Since establishing our Boise division in 2024, our goal has never been simply to build houses, it has been to build happiness. From the very beginning, we’ve been committed to creating thoughtfully designed homes, fostering meaningful relationships, and becoming an active part of the Treasure Valley community. Whether it’s partnering with local organizations, participating in community events, supporting charitable initiatives, or welcoming new homeowners, we’re grateful for every opportunity to connect with the people who call Idaho home.
Receiving this award just two years after opening our Boise division is both humbling and motivating. It reflects the trust our homeowners have placed in us, the partnerships we’ve built with local trades, real estate professionals, and vendors, and the dedication of our incredible team members who work every day to deliver an exceptional homebuilding experience.
As we continue to grow throughout the Treasure Valley, our commitment remains the same: to build high-quality, energy-efficient homes while creating communities where families can truly thrive. Every homeowner, trade partner, Realtor, and community member has played a role in this milestone, and we couldn’t have achieved it without your support.
“To everyone who voted for us, welcomed us into the Boise community, and trusted us to build your home, thank you!”
– RUSS VAN WAGENEN, Division President
We are honored to be part of the Treasure Valley, excited for what’s ahead, and look forward to continuing to Build Happiness for years to come.
