Clients Say

Very professional, quality builder who understood our priorities and worked to incorporate them into the build and budget. Had an independent home builder inspect during the process who commented that it was a very quality build.

They communicated timing and next steps throughout the process and helped identify ways (including bringing own recommendations) on ways to reduce budget.
John Bayne

Trust is just one of the things we build.

Your home is
our priority.

At Derek James Homes, we make a commitment to only take on projects that we can personally handle. Owners Derek Olander or James Andreatos personally visit each construction project every day. They are the project managers for all jobs and don’t outsource this important task to other contractors. Personal attention to detail on every project is what makes DJ Homes stand out amongst contractors in the Houston area.
