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 when deciding to build our home. After meeting with Darrell and his team our minds were made up. He was the first one 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 that used the same contractors for every home. This ensures the constant quality in every home he builds. From the start Darrell was very transparent with pricing, materials, and details of the process. Throughout the whole 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 1 year follow up with Darrell, I hired a third party inspector to come 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”. Going on a little over 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier. I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking to build or remodel.

As a local Realtor, I have worked with Darrell Kellum for more than 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 contract signing, 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 actually 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 would highly recommend Darrell Kellum, Inc to anyone looking to build!

We consider ourselves lucky to have met with Darrell Kellum. We had a meeting in the area with another builder that wouldn’t listen to our needs. We then accidentally met Darrell while looking at one of his houses under construction. He helped us pick off the perfect lot and design our house for our needs and my husbands garage. His construction team were very professional and finished our house with great craftsmanship. Darrell did not stop being there for us after closing he made sure our short little year end punch list got taken care of in a timely manner. It has been two years now and from time to time I have called Darrell for recommendations since we are new to the area when I am doing projects. We even recommended Darrell and his team to build our daughter’s new home since we wanted her to have the great experience that we had by using Darrell Kellum, Inc. I promise if you meet Darrell you will see that his customers are his first concern.

From January to May this past year I made my biggest life decision yet, to get my first house. Going into this decision I was nervous and unsure on how the process would unfold or even what route was the best fit for me. After hearing many positive things about DKI my mind was made. Darrell had a vast selection of lots to choose from in the King William area which made it very easy to meet my financial needs. Throughout the whole process there was professionalism and patience from everyone I came into contact with. I was able to totally customize the house to meet my taste and my budget. Darrell and his team made the process of getting my first house thoroughly enjoyable, as it should be. From here on any new construction, home repair, re model, garage, or major outside projects I need done. I’m going to have Darrell Kellum and his team of professionals tackle the project.

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 their customers! Extremely proud to have chosen to build a DKI home! Very efficient, well constructed homes on excellent lots! I would recommend DKI to anyone!

Darrell Kellum, Inc. built my home. I had the pleasure to work with Darrell himself personally. He helped me find land, pick out a lot, figure out where to place the home on the lot, and he helped me each step of the way. It was like having my best friend there with me looking out for me each 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 a 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 was there to show us a better way of doing the job. We are in his debt for a beautiful house. I would use him for any upgrades or new construction. Darrell and his crew never got upset or mad at us for showing up every day to take photos of the progress. All our questions were answered in layman’s terms—no technical talk. I have and will continue to recommend DKI Homes.

Darrell built a utility barn for us…From start to finish this 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 interior of the barn …Extremely professional…I would highly recommend Darrell Kellum for you next home build or barn

Darrell built my home in 2011. I’ve had absolutely no issues with my home. Darrell is a perfectionist and it shows in his work. He and his subcontractors care about the quality of their work. They all treated me very respectfully too. My questions were answered timely. Phone calls, texts and emails were also answered promptly. My home is a smaller home, but the quality inside and out beats the quality of much bigger and much 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 or builder to build our home. From the first meeting to closing Darrell was right there making sure his team got it done. He made the decisions easy because he is so laid back. When we made changes on the back door to a window it was no problem the framer just went back and made the change. Darrell even helped us pick the perfect lot for us. We are a week away from our year and our home was built with so much quàlity that we have a very small list repairs. We love our new home thanks to our builder. We picked the best so if you are looking to build call Darrell Kellum.

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 entire process and anything that I wanted to change or any questions I had etc. weren’t an issue at all; they were very responsive and transparent. My first time home buying experience has been nothing short of amazing and simple and I appreciate the entire team!!!

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. Couldn’t ask for any better!

Darrell and his staff are the ultimate professions. We researched several home builders in the Tappahannock VA area to build a seasonal home, and decided on Darrell mainly on the personal conversation we had with what turned out to our next door neighbor, he was very pleased with his home and all the professional tradesmen. When we approached him one day while he was working in his yard, he couldn’t have been more excited to show us all throughout his home and we were able to see the workmanship of the home. We can’t wait until someone comes by our home and ask question about the builder so we can tell them what a great experience we had working with Darrell and staff to build what will some day become our forever home.

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.
