"What a great company! I worked mainly with Jared and he really put a lot of effort into helping us to pick the right lot. He met with our realtor and looked at multiple sites and gave his honest assessment of the pros and cons of each lot. It is rare to find a builder that will be this honest with you and not just tell you what you want to hear. We can’t wait to have our home built by Dennis Miller Homes."
- K. Shake"Our family is enjoying our “Dennis Miller Homes,” home so much. We are thrilled! We started with a lot and a site plan and Jared designed a well-thought-through home. He planned every window to showcase our amazing views. Everything is functioning, design-wise, as we had hoped! Our home is functional, practical, AND stunningly beautiful! We are able to host family and friends now and share in the beauty of our new home and surroundings. The Millers are highly skilled craftsmen and men of integrity. We lived out of state during the build. They communicated with us regularly and met with us when we could come to town. Everything was explained well. Subs were very good. Timelines were met. We are very happy that we built our dream home with Dennis Miller Homes and highly recommend them."
