“These guys are the real deal.”

If you are looking for someone who truly cares, who truly wants to deliver a great product and someone you can work with—these guys are the real deal. Can’t say enough good things about them. Handshake means everything.

Steve

“Deffenbaugh Homes is in a class of their own.”

We met with several contractors and solicited many recommendations before selecting a builder for our new home. From the very first meeting, it was apparent that Deffenbaugh Homes is in a class of their own. The Deffenbaugh team has a very rare combination of creativity and a structured organizational process that sets them apart from the rest. I couldn’t imagine building with anyone else.

John

“Number one builders in this area.”

We found Jesse’s development, a gem called The Crown at Arbor’s Edge. We fell in love with a Big Sioux River lot which Jesse helped us pick out. The Deffenbaugh company and 4-D Design took it all to the next level. We feel they are the number one builders in this area. The building process was outstanding. We are so grateful!

“Jesse is very creative and hard-working. The entire team is great!”

We had a great experience working with Deffenbaugh and Lauren from 4D! Jesse is very creative and hard-working. The entire team is great! We would use them again in the future for any renovation needs.
