There are literally not enough positive adjectives in the dictionary to describe how much my husband and I have loved our experience with Derrick Custom Homes. Our new house is perfect. The customer service we've received from Derrick is outstanding. From the owner of the company to every single service person we have encountered, they have come through with flying colors. Thank you, Derrick Custom Homes for being a builder that buyers can depend on again and again. We're so proud of our new Derrick home!

We couldn't be happier with selecting Derrick Custom Homes to build our new home. Ron Derrick makes sure things are done right and the result is a well-engineered, beautifully designed home using proven, high-quality materials and craftsmanship. The entire team at Derrick Custom Homes is extremely professional and honest, they kept us in the loop the entire process. You can tell Derrick Custom Homes is a solid company by the tenure and quality of its employees. Many on their construction team have been with Derrick for many years or decades and it's obvious they know what they're doing and take

Awesome builder. Honest. Down to earth. High quality. We built our home in winter 2020 with Derrick. From the beginning of the process to the end everyone from Derrick was honest, professional, and top notch. From our first meeting with Ron and Megan they were able to provide ideas for a base design that fit perfectly and which we made our own. After that our project manager Lena and on site manager Judd made the whole process seamless. Everything from adding or removing features and choices in design, to going over costs and unforeseen issues honestly, all the way to reviewing finishes and a

We build our dream home with Derrick. I work in the real estate industry and could have used a number of builders but I chose to build with Ron because they are family owned, high-quality, and I trust him. You will not be disappointed. where their issues? Yes, there are always issues with any build. But everything was handled in a timely manner and the end product is fantastic
