Peanut butter and chocolate. Pie and ice cream. Some good things are BETTER when you put them together. Now Colorado can add Bill Herebic and Mike Schreier to that list! Herebic Homes and Black Ox Construction are joining two GOOD things to make one BETTER thing – Herebic Schreier Homes. A full service, reliable, honest, here-for-the-long-haul, Colorado custom home builder.
Mike’s been building for 22 years and Bill’s been at it for 39 years. So that’s 61 years of experience (and counting) for Herebic Schreier Homes customers. A great combination.
When It All Began
Ten years ago when Bill Herebic was introduced to Mike Schreier and they began working together to build beautiful custom homes in the Pikes Peak region a great partnership began.
Bill says, “When you work with someone who prioritizes integrity and excellence as much as you, it gets your attention.”

Mike worked alongside his dad in the summers and then joined his dad’s crew after his dad’s passing. Mike found his home serving customers and becoming a valuable part of the team.
He started framing and learned everything he could from those around him. He also worked in landscaping for a while and commercial construction for seven years. He built restaurants and other large scale jobs, but decided it wasn’t for him. He wanted a direct relationship with the customer.
He stepped back into residential construction by framing basements, building decks, and ultimately building houses.
Mike says, “I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
Bill Herebic, Colorado Custom Home Builder
Bill is a proud fourth-generation builder. From the time he turned 14, Bill worked onsite with his dad at Copper Valley Builders in Colorado Springs every summer, every break, every minute he could–he loved everything about it. And he still does.
With 39 years of custom home building, innovative design, and a degree from UCLA under his tool belt, Bill has profound experience, acute skill, and a hard-wired aptitude and love of the craft.
To hear him talk, the excitement of a 17-year-old foreman running crews twice his age, shines through. He still recalls them hollering, “Junior, we love working for you. You get the job done.”
Bill inspects and communicates every aspect of this once-in-a-lifetime custom home building process to his client. “I have no secrets. I play no games. Nobody ever needs to guess what I’m doing.”
Colorado Custom Home Builder Teamwork
Industry estimates reveal a custom home building project will take about 9 months or more. And it is a process with countless details. Mike and Bill’s open-book, share-all-the-details mentality isn’t always found in the custom home industry. But Bill and Mike share every invoice to show where every penny is spent so the homeowner never has to guess where their money is going. Honest and integrity come naturally to both builders.
“It’s an honor to build their dream home. And we don’t take it lightly. We know they work hard for their money, just as we do, so we aren’t about ready to spend their money without everyone understanding the process and the plans.”
Herebic Schreier Homes believes the homeowner should be comfortable knowing where they are in the process, any expectations, and where every cent is going. A custom home customer and their builder is a relationship that spans almost a year so Herebic Schreier Homes believes folks should select their builder wisely. Look for someone with expertise and a giant list of happy past customers, plus a team you can trust and work with well. Then you can enjoy the process and love your new Colorado dream home!
