**★★★★★ — Jake Boyd Photo, Sept. 2013**

> Since 2009, I have worked with hundreds of real estate agents and builders in and around Des Moines, IA. Homes By DePhillips is easily one of the most established builders in the area. Their attention to detail and beautiful finishes make my job a breeze! I enjoy shooting their wide range of styles, as they build to fit their client requests. They take no shortcuts in their homes and make sure their clients are 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend HBD if you're looking to build a home.

**★★★★★ — asuranallo, March 2013**

> HBD built our home in Painted Woods in 2011.  The process was smooth, finished on time, and completely customized to our liking.
>
> One of the differentiators with HBD is their knowledge of new trends and products in the residential home building market. They are experts on the most up to date technologies such as geothermal, home automation, and icynene insulation to not only build a nice house, but a smart and efficient house.

**★★★★★ — jsnielsen, Jan. 2013**

> Fantastic to work with. We spent quite a bit of time and interviewed many prospective builders before selecting HBD. The entire DePhillips crew is first rate. They have been building luxury homes in Des Moines for many years and their experience made our large project smooth. Every home they build is of the highest quality.
