Darrell, Mitchell, and the team recently built a 2300 sq. ft. custom home for my wife and me. We can’t express our gratitude to everyone involved. We spent almost 2 years speaking with other major builders, and Darrell offered the most for the money. The one major point I want to convey is the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail from start to finish, which is unmatched by any other builder. We are ecstatic to start our new adventure in our forever home. Thank you!

This is a quality builder with very reasonable prices. You wont be led down a dark tunnel and all information is shared up front. Mr. Kellum is an honest man who lives by his words and his contractors are an extension of his hand. The design build process is streamlined and even includes 3d of the inside and out. All plans are fully customizable to fit your needs and budget. I highly recommend them as your builder for your first or next home!

If you are looking for a builder you can TRUST, then Darrell is the guy. My wife and I sat down with multiple builders before building our home. After meeting with Darrell and his team, our minds were made up. He was the first builder not dressed in a suit trying to sell us.

Darrell not only made us feel comfortable with this life-changing decision but was one of the few builders who used the same contractors for every home. This ensures the constant quality of every home he builds. From the start, Darrell was very transparent with pricing, materials, and process details. Throughout the building process, Darrell was always in constant communication and on top of things. His contractors all knew his expectations, and it showed through their work.

Before our one-year follow-up, I hired a third-party inspector to check things out. After finding ZERO issues, the inspector said, “I have been to many new houses, and whoever built this one did a great job.” We are going on a little over two years now, and we couldn’t be happier. I recommend Darrell Kellum to anyone looking to build or remodel.

As a local Realtor, I have worked with Darrell Kellum for over 15 years. After watching him build homes for so many of my clients, I decided it was time for him to build one for me. Darrell took the time to listen to my wishlist, which saved a lot of time by knowing exactly how to make and incorporate the things that were important to me in the most economical way.

Darrell has put together a great team that takes great pride in their work. This made the process even smoother. Plus, he didn’t disappear after I signed the contract. Instead, he was onsite regularly and always available if needed. He not only answered all my questions but took the time to educate me along the way, which was extremely helpful to me as a Realtor.

Darrell cares about each and every client. You will feel this from the first time you meet him. I am very happy with my new home and highly recommend DKI Homes to anyone looking to build!

Before meeting Darrell, we worked with another homebuilder who wouldn’t listen to our needs. We then accidentally met Darrell while looking at one of his houses under construction. Darrell helped us pick the perfect lot and design our home for our needs. His construction team was very professional and finished our home with great craftsmanship.

Darrell did not stop being there. After closing, he made sure our short year-end punch list was taken care of promptly. It has been two years, and I still keep in touch with Darrell. We even recommended DKI Homes to our daughter since we wanted her to have the same great experience we had. I promise if you meet Darrell, you will see that his customers are his first concern.

I made my biggest life decision yet—purchasing my very first home. At first, I was nervous and unsure of how the process would work or even what was the best fit for me. After hearing many positive things about DKI Homes, my mind was made up. Darrell had a vast selection of lots to choose from in the King William area, making it very easy to meet my financial goals.

Throughout the process, everyone I came into contact with was patient and professional. Plus, I was able to customize the house to fit my taste and my budget. Darrell and his team made getting my first home thoroughly enjoyable—as it should be. From now on, I will have Darrell Kellum and his team of professionals tackle all of my home improvement projects, including new construction, adding a garage, remodeling, and even home repair.

A cut above the rest, for sure. This is NOT a cookie-cutter corporate home-building giant! DKI has a personal touch, customer-driven builds, a small-town feel, and a real ambition to please its customers! I am extremely proud to have chosen to build a DKI home! Very efficient, well-constructed homes on excellent lots! I would recommend DKI to anyone!

I had the pleasure of working with Darrell personally. He helped me every step of the way, from finding the lot to determining where to place the home. It was like having my best friend with me the entire time. I found Darrell and his team immensely helpful, easy-going, trustworthy, HONEST, professional, timely, and very friendly! DKI builds a great, top-quality, solid home at a more than fair price!

Darrell Kellum was extremely helpful when we decided to build. He was very patient with my wife and me. When we thought we had a problem, he showed us a better way of doing the job. We love our beautiful house. I would use him for upgrades, as well as new construction. He and his crew never got upset with us for showing up every day to take photos. All our questions were answered in a way we could understand, no technical talk. I have and will recommend him any time.

Darrell built a utility barn for us. From start to finish, it was the easiest process I have ever encountered. Darrell was always available to answer my questions and made some really good suggestions when trying to finish the barn’s interior. He was extremely professional, and I highly recommend Darrell Kellum for your next new home build—or barn.

Darrell built my home in 2011. I’ve had absolutely no issues with it. Darrell is a perfectionist, and it shows in his work. He and his subcontractors care about the quality of their work. I was always treated with respect. Plus, all of my questions were answered promptly, including calls, texts, and emails.

Although my home is smaller, the quality inside and out beats much bigger and more expensive homes constructed by other builders. If you want an honest, hard-working, and quality-minded builder, Darrell Kellum, Inc. is who you need to call.

We couldn’t have picked a better person and company to build our home. From the first meeting to closing, Darrell was there making sure his team got it right. He made the decisions seem easy because he was so laid back. Darrell even helped us pick out the perfect lot. And when we made changes, it was never a problem.

We are a week away from our first year in our new home, and it was built with so much quality that we have a very small list of repairs. We love our new home, thanks to our builder. We picked the best, so if you want to build a new home, call Darrell Kellum today.

Darrell and his team are amazing! I spoke with several other builders before Darrell, and they weren’t necessarily accommodating. But Darrell listened and made me feel like I wasn’t asking for anything unreasonable. I had multiple points of contact throughout the process, and anything I wanted to change was never an issue. To me, everything felt very responsive and transparent. This was my first home-buying experience, and it has been amazing!

Our experience with Darrell Kellum, Inc. was second to none! In addition to building a high-quality home, Darrell and his team were very flexible with all requests to make this our forever home. Even after we moved in and finished the buying process, Darrell made it a point to stop by and check on my family to see how we were settling in and getting accustomed to our new home. I couldn’t ask for any better!

Darrell and his staff are the ultimate professionals. We researched several homebuilders in the Tappahannock, Virginia, area to build us a seasonal home. We decided on Darrell mainly because of our conversation with our future neighbor, who was very pleased with his DKI Home and all the professionals who helped build it.

Our future neighbor couldn’t have been more excited to show us his home, which enabled us to see the quality ourselves. We can’t wait until someone comes by our home and asks questions about the builder so we can tell them what a great experience we had working with Darrell and his staff!

Thank you for the work you recently provided to us. The sanctuary is beautiful! This was a huge undertaking that included so much more than painting. We appreciate the assistance with paint colors, finishes, and all the other decisions that needed to be made. We would also like to express our gratitude for your willingness to accommodate our schedule and the stump removal project, which was a rushed, last-minute request. Your ability to get things done is an inspiration to us all. Thank you for the hard work and a job well done!

Thank you for making the home-building process so simple! We never felt overwhelmed by all the choices, and you walked us through every step. The pole building is just what I needed to put all my tools, giving us extra storage space. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product. We will tell all our friends and family to see you for their future home-building needs.

We love our house! Thank you so much for building the place we now call home with such care. We wanted you to know that we are so appreciative of everything you did for us. We love the recessed lighting, which makes the rooms feel warm, the closet organizers, which were totally unexpected, the wide range of carpet and vinyl choices we had, the two shower heads in the master bath, the beautiful cabinets, and all the extra grading work you did.

We appreciate the great craftsmanship that shows in every single detail of our home, from the trim work to the paint to the drywall. Thank you for putting flooring in the attic and ensuring the house is well insulated, especially the extra added to the master bedroom. The larger water heater has been great because our teenagers won’t get out of the shower! The decks and porches are just terrific. We have spent countless hours watching and listening to our surroundings. We love the energy-efficient windows, which let in lots of natural light. We even love that door stops were put behind all the doors. It’s a little thing, but it means so much.

Moving here has been a life-changing experience, and we could not be more thankful! We also want you to know that every single contractor we met was wonderful. At one point or another, I think we met everyone who worked on our home, and they were all great. We also appreciate that you came by and checked on us after we moved in.
