Dunn & Stone Builders, LLC

Working with Dunn & Stone was a great experience! I'd heard people say they'd "never build again" - that was not my experience with Dunn & Stone at all. They're professional, easy to work with and provided us with an amazing forever home. I would highly recommend choosing them for your new home build!

Long review only because I know how hard it was to find a thorough review when we were looking for a custom home builder. We could not be happier that we chose Dunn and Stone to build our dream home! I reached out to D&S to ask a simple question about construction loans and building on our own land. In one email response they not only answered my question, but thoroughly explained what the journey would look like, how they estimate costs, the different stages of the building process, and so much more. Other builders were taking weeks to get us this information and it was inconsistent from one email to the next. From the beginning D&S was completely transparent and upfront about everything. What sets Dunn and Stone apart is that they truly care about the connection with the homeowners, and the quality of the product they deliver. Everything from start to finish is personalized. You do not need to build a million dollar home with them to get this service, we didn’t. D&S wants your home to serve you in the way you live your life, and they think of every single thing. What way does the sun rise and set, do you work from home, do you entertain large parties, where do you spend most of your time, will your kids grow to be teens in the home, etc. As we worked on designing the structure of our home with Fred, he brought up so many amazing points we never would have thought of. In the end, we actually ended up needing a little less square footage which helped keep us well within our budget and made it so that we can utilize the space in our home so much better. We got everything we wanted! The design center with Erin was so fun, she was so helpful picking out all the options for our home. There were countless times we wanted something high-end and couldn’t fit it in the budget, and she always came through with something that we loved just as much within our price point. Corey our project manager was outstanding. He seriously was the easiest to work with. He treats the home as his until he hands over the keys. It was awesome to see how many trades/contractors he has lined up at any given time, ensuring that absolutely zero time is wasted. He is so efficient and always visiting the home and checking the work. He communicates weekly on the completed work for the week and the upcoming work for the next week. But we could reach out to him anytime with a question and he was always responsive. Another thing about D&S is they have used a lot of their contractors for many years so they are very confident in their quality of work. Everyone at D&S was so easy to work with. We have been in our home for a month now and don’t have a single regret. We walk around in disbelief that it is ours. Building a home can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. If you want to pick a builder with a proven reputation of high quality craftsmanship and efficiency & who feels it’s important for the homeowner to collaborate as a team member on the project, go with Dunn and Stone.

To everyone at Dunn & Stone, THANK YOU! The entire experience was 100% elite. Thank you to Jimmy, Fred, Erin, Holly, Abbie and Corey for making this process painless and wonderful. If you are looking to build a new home and dont go with Dunn & Stone, you are missing out. Love you guys.

Dunn & Stone bring a high level of craftsmanship and skill unmatched by many. From the beginning, we were impressed by the knowledge and articulation of Chris Lebow. He visited our land and talked to us about elevations, trees, water, slab and all of the factors informing the placement of our future home. He explained the process of soil tests, surveys, and what to expect in the custom home building process. Fred Loucks aimed to make home building fun in the design and layout process. The women in the design center shared our excitement as we ran through tile, fixtures, and more. People call home building stressful for a reason. We definitely experienced stress along the way, but everyone at Dunn & Stone were as excited about our home as we were and that imbued a level of confidence and peace that got us to the finish line and one beautiful home. From top to bottom we are impressed with the detail and quality of our home. We’re truly grateful for Chris and the team for building a home that is as safe and sturdy as it is stunning. Thanks to them we have a place where our family can make memories for generations to come.

The house build process went extremely smooth even thru the covid pandemic . The whole team was friendly and helpful from house design, decor selections , to the actual house build. Extremely thankful and very satisfied with Dunn and Stone

We absolutely love our new home! The entire Dunn and Stone team was amazing to work with, as well as very patient and friendly, tending to every small request we had. They designed our house to maximize the view on our property and had many great recommendations. We could not be happier with our home and so glad we chose them to build our house. Todd and Holly were very helpful in explaining the process and different stages and making sure everything was completed timely.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Office team (Paul/Caitlin/Holly) did a great job guiding us through the concept/detailed design/contracting stages of the build. The team was very patient with us while we worked through the custom floor plan ideas. Really enjoyed the design center in Pinehurst as we were able to see examples of upgrades/features in the model home, in addition to the actual items that we were selecting for our home (e.g. brick, tiles, banister, pool decking, door handles, etc.). The actual home building was very smooth, even with all of the political and COVID impacts. Todd did a great job communicating forecasted work to be done, in addition to ensuring that trades completed their work on time and with the utmost level of craftsmanship. Todd operates at a superior level of quality that his trades are expected to deliver for the customer - period. From the moment you meet Fred & Chris, it is obvious that the company prides itself on customer oriented solutions while delivering a superior product in a very competitive market. This mindset truly resonates throughout Dunn & Stone. If we ever decide to sell this house, we would build with Dunn & Stone again without hesitation.

You ever just wake up from an incredible dream just to realize it is all real? Yup, that is how this whole journey with Dunn and Stone has felt. From the time my wife and I met with Paul and then the incredible team of Corey, Caitlin, Holly, Sara and all the professional teams within Dunn and Stone, to the walking into 'our' new home, well, it is a Dream come true. Communication is Excellent. Attitude is Kind. Patience is Extraordinary. Talent is Out of this World. I have and will continue to Highly Recommend Dunn and Stone to everyone I meet. My new neighbors have made many comments about the quality of the house, the cleanliness of the build site during the build, the excellence of the finished project. After the move in, the service does not end. Dunn and Stone is here, ready, willing and quite able to ensure that everything is up to their standards and even then, they still surprise us and exceed our expectations. Could not have asked for a better experience. My only regret is that I can only have one of their homes.... But if you are reading this, then you need to stop in and say Hi to Paul and let him impress you with a most impressive product and Team.

Dunn & Stone Builders, LLC is a fabulous home builder! They design and build a beautiful quality product, and they offer amazing service! We love working with them and their team! Highly Recommend!

My wife and just recently moved into our custom Dunn and Stone home. The entire Dunn and Stone team was great to deal with. Corey Powell did a great job building our home. Paul and Holly were very helpful and all the rest of the team was very detail oriented. Thanks to Fred and Chris as well

Definitely love Dunn and Stone! Very honest and transparent. I am very happy with the whole building experience, warranty, and the quality of my house. Also, if you have a difficult lot (water way, erosion problems etc.) this is the builder you can trust that the job is done right with a civil engineer on staff. Highly Recommend!

We couldn't be happier with Dunn & Stone Builders! Our home in Magnolia was completed in July 2017. This is our second Dunn & Stone home. After researching several builders, it became evident that no one else could match the quality and competitive cost to build our home. We shared our design plans and they brought our dream home to life! What amazed us was that there were absolutely NO hidden costs, great communication throughout the project, and it was completed on time. Due to their awesome in-house design consultant, choosing exterior and interior finishes was so easy. Also, any warranty items after move-in were efficiently handled. While many homeowners complain about the building process, we feel fortunate that our build went very smoothly. After interviewing other builders, check out Dunn & Stone. Like us, you'll be happy you did!

I met with Kristi Wells at the Magnolia Office. Needless to say, she was absolutely a rock star. She was very pleasant in showed us around the model home and gave us the opportunity to view all of the model homes that were available. She also followed up with me via email and telephone multiple times to make sure everything that I needed was followed up on. If you're looking for quality customer service definitely stop by and pay Kristi a visit!!!

Outstanding model home tour. This home has quality finishes throughout and a wonderfully functional floor plan. Excited to bring my clients to this lovely community!

Dunn and Stone Builders are the best to work with! Very efficient and professional. As a Realtor and a personal owner of a Dunn and Stone home, I can contest that the quality is superb.

I thought the use of cabinetry in the kitchen (going to ceiling) was exceptional!! The ceiling height of the model home created an air of superlative spaciousness. The floor plan is very functional and the decor outstanding.

Dunn and Stone is building a house on our lot and it is almost completed. We have been very happy with the way the house is turning out and with all the people we have worked with. The few minor issues that have come up have been handled very well by Dunn and Stone.

Hired Dunn and Stone to build home on our lot. They put up a sign that said, "Extraordinary Custom Home". We ended up with tract home quality. Considering the poor quality of work by the sub's and lack of over site by the project manager, we have a tract house. Closet rods continue to fall down (break the cheap plastic rod ends they use), custom kitchen cabinet doors have short screws for mounting, and several have fallen out already. house was 3 months late. within 1 year, nails working out of dry wall. sanded grout used in bathroom tile with joints less than 1/32 inch wide.

Kristi wells was more than accomdating with all our requests and was always on top of our home. We enjoyed the relationship we made with her, never felt like"just business"

Generally we are pleased with the job they did on our new house. We were from CT and contracted D & S in February '12 to build our house with some alteration to the plan and we hired an inspected to check on the progress of the work. We came down in July to look at the house and noticed that a hot tub which we ordered was not installed. This was corrected. The water line loop which we ordered and paid for had no shut off valves. After numerous complaints, it was finally remedied but not done properly but functional. We ordered and paid for a flood light on the right side of the house. The light was installed on the left side instead. After numerous complaints this was NOT remedied. It will be very helpful if a flood light were to be installed on the right side of the house so I can go to my garden at night.

We had a great experience when purchasing our new home for our growing family. Kristi was a great accent in helping us find the right home for us. We have lived there for 3 years now and loving every minute of it. We also had our second child since then as well.

This company does some excellent work. When we were considering buying one of their homes they were very helpful in making sure that we comfortable and well informed about the entire experience. Our home is beautiful and is constructed with quality materials and even better craftsmanship. We've only had one problem arise that was covered by warranty and they had a technician at the house within a matter of hours. It's been a great experience working with them.

We had seen the work of Dunn and Stone prior to our building process, and knew they were the builders for us! Dunn and Stone provided a wonderful home for us and the building process went very smoothly and timely. The quality of workmanship along with the numerous upgrades they provided sold us! We love our new home ! We would highly recommend Dunn and Stone builders to anyone looking to purchase a new home.

I have had the most excellent experience with Dunn & Stone - from building my new home in 2014, during the buying process and throughout the warranty period, I have felt priveleged indeed to enjoy such fabulous and friendly service - marvelous job and highly recommended !!!

We absolutely love our new home by Dunn & Stone. The process from start to finish was very professional and ethical from sales through construction and later warranty work during our first year of residence. We highly recommend this builder and appreciate the quality materials used and the customized features selected for our home.
