Howard & Courtney built our casita & RV garage several years ago that included an elevator. What an awesome addition to our home! Here we are several years later and through no fault of them, we had water get into the casita during a heavy rain, not once, but twice. We called and Howard and Corey came out and not only helped identify the problem but lined up the clean up and repair. The work just like the original construction was great. Thanks!!

I’ll start by saying my home is BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely feel that we got an amazing home for a bargain. That’s not to say that there are not some issues we’ve had with both the home and DH Homes. Our build process began in 2020 and the home was not completed until 2022. DH Homes as a builder was very communicative (thanks Dan) and let us customize our home as much as they could (some things were already further along and that’s understandable). The fact that they honored the price of our home through all the changes during COVID and did not back out as many other builders were doing at the time is very commendable of them. This is the one reason I let a lot of the smaller things go. The home building process was a bit stressful to say the least, as most usually are. My biggest qualm with DH Homes was usually the quality of the work and the time it would take for them to complete projects. This had a lot to do with the amount of sub-contracting they had to do. At a time when workers were harder to come by, them not having their own tradesman made this process a bit frustrating. Like I said previously, our home is beautiful but there are things that could have been completed better. A lot of the items are just shoddy work from contractors they maybe had to hire last minute when their usual people were all booked out. Sometimes we felt that our house was on the back burner compared to other homes they were working on only because of the amount of time it would take them to complete small tasks. At the end of the day, they stepped up when we needed the home completed ASAP due to me having a baby the following month. With everything going against them in those years, overall I’m grateful for the home they made and appreciate their ability to adapt and work with us through all the setbacks.
