Building a custom home is one of the most important projects most families will ever undertake, and we’ve built our firm to ensure it’s one of the most rewarding.

When the Design Matters This Much, So Does Who Builds It

An architect once told us they sleep better when VDT is hired to build their design. 

Here’s what makes us different from most custom builders.

“The VDT team has built two houses for us in the last three years. They have been great to work with.

They are very good at what they do; very professional and knowledgeable. They use only the best subcontractors and monitor and demand top-quality work standards. We worked most closely with Phillip and Scottie, and more recently, Chandler has been a nice addition to the team.

We are older, recently retired, and had never built a house before, and were anxious about the projects, which were substantial investments for us. But these guys inspired confidence in their ability to build our homes and did a great job on both. They also follow up and service what they build. Highly recommend VDT to anyone looking for a top-quality home builder.”
