**★★★★★ — gollnick\_chris, June 2015**

> I have worked with Todd and his team for over 12 years.  As a representative of a major home building supply company I work closely with custom home builders and production home builders.  I can say without hesitation that Dearth Design and Construction stands out in the industry and is one of the most reputable home builders I have had the pleasure to work with.  The projects are always well managed, which makes my job a breeze. The design and quality of the finished product "speak for it's self. Just Beautiful

**★★★★★ — glenn4461, June 2015**

> I have worked with Todd Dearth for over 10 years. He is an excellent builder and designer. One of the things i like most about him is the attention he pays to his clients wants and (to me most importantly) his clients budget. That is why i referred my in-laws to him when they had their house built a couple years ago. I knew with out a doubt that they would be well taken care of and their house would be built with the highest of quality. I would highly recommend him personally and the core group of subs he utilizes on each project. So, if you are in the market to build the home of your dreams.... Todd Dearth is in my opinion one of the best in the Austin/Hillcountry/San Antonio area.

**★★★★★ — Sammi Hill, June 2015**

> We hired Todd Dearth to design and build our home.  It turned out great!  Todd is very responsive and timely, an atypical contractor by most standards.  Anytime there have been issued (during or post construction), Todd remedied them quickly.  We felt like we had his complete attention at all times during the process.  Love our home!

**★★★★★ — bobandlinda2, Dec. 2014**

> We had a wonderful home building experience and were so thankful that we used Todd.  We only interviewed one other builder, but there was something about Todd and what he said that made us decide to choose him.  We were 1st time builders and didn't even check his references or know the right questions to ask before we decided on him.  It wasn't until the building process when we saw our home coming together that we started to fully appreciate all the aesthetic skill Todd had to offer.  We would ask how this or that would be, and he would sometimes use the phrase "let's see what the house calls for when we get to that point".  We began to realize how special and unique that flexibility and sensitivity in a builder really was. Our home is stunning and if we ever decide to build again, we wouldn't consider using anyone else.
