Report
Would definitely recommend building with Dinallo & Wittrup homes. We have been extremely satisfied through the whole process and would not change a thing about our home after 6 months of living here. Extremely high quality of materials and contractors. Despite the delays with covid, Rick and Toni did everything possible to ensure our house was ready on time. Since moving in, they have remained very responsive. Couldn't recommend more highly!
