As a subcontractor for DKM Custom Homes (Custom Closets), I can always count on them to be ready for installation when it's scheduled. They support the contractors that are a part of their team, and it results in a team approach and pride in the craftsmanship that becomes part of each custom home
Their standard is Excellence. The quality of their homes is top-notch and their close relationship with each customer makes the entire process a team enterprise. Beautiful homes from an outstanding company!

10 years ago DKM built our home. The experience was a wonderful milestone in our lives. DKM was excellent to deal with. Provided quality and care that we still marvel at 10 years later and delivered the house sooner than expected and exactly on budget. DKM and their highly professional subs were a delight to work with.

DKM performed a total remodel of my condominium (total demolition down to the studs, relocating walls and then rebuild). The stores suggested for the tile, quartz and appliances were excellent.
Mr.Jon Kascek was very helpful in the whole process.
