After meeting with a few builders, we chose DK Homes to design and build our Gun Lake home. Ben did a great job designing, listening intently to all of our "wants". Jay price quoted a high quality home with reasonable allowances. He kept us informed about any issues and gave options for resolution. Mary, our designed, was very helpful with all of our selections. All workers were friendly and professional. Our home is a beautiful, high quality build. We highly recommend building with DK Homes.

Not impressed. I have spent thousands fixing shortcuts taken by the builder on the home. Horrible customer service. I have had standing water in my backyard for months with little to no contact from DK - frequently just ignore emails, calls, and texts. The warranty means as much as their word, nothing.

We used DK Homes for our remodel project. We are so happy with how it turned out. The DK team of Ben, Jay, Heather, Amy, Jill, Kevin and Scott were amazing to work with. The project was done in a timely manner and with attention to detail. Zach from DeHaan Flooring, Kris from Mid-City Supply, Christine from West Michigan Kitchen Design, Jason from King Painting assisted with product selection and installation and did great work. We highly recommend DK Homes - fair pricing, trustworthy and outstanding results.

Our family recently finished a project with DK Homes and have been enjoying the quality and craftsmanship of their work for about 8 months now. This was our second custom build in 4 years, so although by no means experts, we felt prepared for the project. Going into this, based on our first project and what seems to be the “normal pitfalls” of building, we had a natural expectation that we were going to have to stay on top of the budget, schedule, and pay close attention to the details around finish details. During the quoting process, we evaluated 5 different builders, and from the beginning, we quickly identified and caught on that DK had a great formula for success. Jay’s transparency around his quote, how he managed the budget, and ability to foster a great dialogue around our home’s features, flow, construction, costs, challenges, etc. was something that reset our expectations of working with a builder. Throughout the project, we had numerous examples of how DK and their team of contractors worked diligently to ensure that the customer was at the heart of the project, specifically;
-Framing: In addition to being exceptional framers, ensuring everything was true and square, the team identified ways to improve our blueprint by finding creative ways to minimize dead space in the home, and maximize functionality. For our home they identified a great place for a seating bench to put on shoes, an additional linen closet in the masterbath, etc.
-Exterior: The team went the extra mile and researched different decorative materials for our home’s exterior to ensure maximum performance while working within the budget, as well as went to our prior house to look at the engineering of decorative trusses we had and replicated them for our home.
-Finishing: Scott and Bob are phenomenal! Their ability to take a screen shot, or powerpoint picture and make it into reality is remarkable. They asked great questions, stayed close to my wife and I as the project progressed, and delivered a level of quality we were very pleased with.
When building a new home, there will always be bumps along the way, categories that run over and run under budget, but what we learned from our first experience is that it’s how your business partner through the project handles this that makes a huge difference. Bottom line, Jay and the DK team were amazing. They followed our maniacal focus of detail, and we always landed on a resolution that we felt was fair and equitable for both parties.
Although we don’t want to build another house anytime soon, if we had to, DK would be our go-to. I would strongly encourage anyone looking into a new build, or a remodel to sit down with the team at DK and get to know them. During these types of projects, chemistry is everything, and in the end you have ask yourself, “when this is all over, would I want to have these guys over for a BBQ or a drink?” and for us, it’s an easy yes, and we are looking forward to doing just that!
Thank you, Jay, Jacob, Ben, Scott, Bob, and the DK team!

A Custom Built Quality Home with attention to detail is what you can expect when you choose DK Homes as your builder. Starting with design Ben was such a pleasure to work with. Between brainstorming together and Ben's expertise in design, he created a floor plan that fit perfectly with our lot inside and out. As our home was being built Jay and Jacob were in contact with us every step of the way to ensure every detail was completed to our expectation. We were also very pleased with the beautiful craftsmanship of their sub-contractors. The finish work was beyond our expectation. We would definitely recommend the DeKleine team to build your new home!

From our first meeting with Jay to our move in day - DK Homes provided an amazing home building experience. Budgets were on target, staff was always a pleasure to work with and their build quality is second to none. My wife and I built our dream home in Byron Center and could not be more pleased. Everyone who comes to visit comments on the detail work. From the custom barn doors to the beams in the sitting room. Scott, the finish carpenter is an absolute artist and Mary their in house designer is so much fun to work with. I hope we never move, but if we do, will definitely call DK Homes to build us another home!

Comment from DK Homes:
There are so many things about your project that we loved but it was you and Kelly that made the building process incredibly fun! Thanks for the opportunity to work with you to build a home that you will enjoy for many years.

Great craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the build process. This was the second custom home my wife and I have built and Jay DeKline and his team made it our easiest build. Never any drama or surprises. If anytime during the build we had a concern or we're considering a change, the DK team listened and did their best to accommodate us. A new build or remodel can be very stressful, but the DK team worked hard to make the build process enjoyable and when it was over, they handed over to us a well built, beautiful AND clean home. Truly, truly enjoyed working with them.

DK Homes designed and created the perfect home from the inside out for our family to enjoy, as our new home now relaxes where the family cottage was for many years! Thank you Jay, Ben, Jacob and Mary, for making our building experience fun and most enjoyable. We love our home and wouldn’t change a thing! I will only recommend DK Homes to anyone looking to remodel or build!

DK Homes builds beautiful custom homes. Jay, Mary, Schaefer & Ben are a pleasure to work with! All contractors were courteous, paid close attention to detail and completed work in a timely manor. We purchased a parade home and went through a lower level completion with them that went great! We have been in our new home for three months now and LOVE IT!
Jay listened to what we wanted and was so easy to work with.
Highly recommend DK Homes to anyone looking for a professional custom builder.

DK homes built our modern farmhouse custom home. We were allowed to be creative and Jay was able to catch our vision and produce a product that we LOVE. The on staff trim carpenters Are awesome, talented and meticulous. Such an important part when building a custom home.
I would say one of the builders best assets is the way he communicates with you and leaves no stone unturned, and the way he works to catch your vision and Produce the home of your dreams.
