Carl Deputy & Son Builders - Felton, Delaware

Erik Anderson

What a great home-building experience with Carl Deputy & Son Builders! After 4 years of traveling the entire U.S. and Canada full-time in our RV, we chose to settle down again in “Lower Slower Delaware”, near one set of our kids/grandkids.
After finding the perfect piece of property, we met with several local area home builders. In our first meeting with Carl Deputy, we knew they had to be our builders! Having never built a home before, we “didn’t know what we didn’t know” and Carl patiently walked us through the entire process. He even drove us around to a few of their model homes and nearly completed homes to give us an understanding of their building process and designs. Meeting Carl, his wife Patty, son Jeremy, and long-time office person, Marilyn, felt like meeting family!
We contracted with Carl Deputy & Son just before needing to head to FL for the winter months. Their pricing was also quite competitive. From the start of the build, Jeremy took over the day-to-day supervision and they made great progress while we were out-of-state. We felt totally comfortable working with Jeremy long-distance. His communication was fantastic. He even took us on FaceTime video tours of the project and sent us photos periodically.
Even though we chose an existing floor-plan of theirs, Jeremy was so accommodating with both little and big changes to make the home uniquely our own. He was patient with us, explained everything to our satisfaction, and handled on-the-fly changes extremely well. Jeremey was amazing!
They had originally estimated 6 months from start to completion…and, sure enough, they were spot-on! We moved into our wonderful new home exactly 6 months from when they started the foundation work. On-time and on-budget.
The construction quality and value have been excellent. Jeremy and his crew were very detail-oriented, extremely professional, and focused 100% on our satisfaction as customers.
We couldn’t have had a better experience and we highly recommend Carl Deputy & Son Builders for anyone building their dream home!

Deputy Builders are great! Starting with our base plan, Carl listened to our wants, did some quick hand sketches, and came back with a layout that would become our new home.
Jeremy was great throughout the build. He was very attentive throughout the whole process. Punchlist items were addressed in a timely manner. We are now in the house 6 months and everything is solid.
The ladies in the office have always been welcoming and friendly.
Other than their solid construction, probably the best thing about Deputy Builders is communication. If they don't answer a call, they ALWAYS return the call or text, always the same day, and normally within 30-60 minutes.
We definitely recommend Carl Deputy and Son Builders.

The entire Deputy staff has always been top notch. Jeremy Deputy is considerate and prompt when providing answers to any questions my wife and i have. He and his family treat us like friends rather than clients. Just as my in-laws recommended Carl Deputy Builders to build our house, my wife and I highly recommend CDB to others.

I used Carl Deputy & Son Builders for my new home. Quality work and they made the process easy start to finish. And even at finish, if you have an issue or a question about your home, they stand by their build 100%.

We are so thrilled to have used Carl Deputy & Son Builders for our new custom built home in Dagsboro which was finished by November 2022. Carl and Jeremy were always involved in every phase of the construction which was completed in 6 months! Jeremy was so professional with his hands on approach and never tired of us asking for more! Our home is perfect in craftsmanship inside and out. We highly recommend this builder - you will not find another builder that is dedicated to providing the best quality home to the customer.

We had been talking with few builders and one we thought we were ready to go with but we got a funny feeling they were not actively building anything. We kept riding around the area and we kept coming across MANY Carl Deputy projects in active status. We met with Carl and the family business gave us a warming feeling. So we immediately got our project started with Carl and Jeremy has been the face of their company through all phases of construction. We had nothing but the best experience having the Carl Deputy and Son team build our house. While we did not challenge them with a CUSTOM build, we loved the model home at Plymouth Place. As soon as we looked at it we both said this is it! And they built a copy for us. Quality and Attention to Detail is all I can think of to say. The home build was completed over a 9 month period form our initial conversation to moving in. 6 months building time. Love it!

Thanks
Ron and Sue

We have been in our home built by Carl Deputy and Son for over a year now, and we’re still absolutely in love with it. We were impressed every step of the way. From our first call to Patty, to our first meeting with Carl, to the entire building process with Jeremy. We never felt like just another contract no matter what our budget was. They answered our millions of questions, made sure we were 100% happy with every little detail along the way, and built a beautifully crafted home just for us! And even a year and a half later, they still let us know they’re only a call away from anything we may need. If you’re looking for exceptional service and a quality built home, look no further. I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to build a home in the area.
