Waterfront Living

Considering a waterfront build? DeShano Companies has extensive experience in building water facing homes. We will help you design the perfect house to take advantage of your lot's unique views and elevation. Since most waterfront homes have two fronts, it is important to design the house to have appeal from both sides. Our drafting and design team will take each of these factors into consideration to help design your perfect home, cottage, or cabin.

More about Commercial Construction

"We are very please to have had DeShano's construct the addition to my home. The overall experience was great. With the flooding of my Mom's home in May we needed assistance building her a living space at my home. Chad DeShano came to my home and discussed our plans with us personally. We appreciated that. DeShano's helped us get to a point where Mom now has a space of her own again. As a family we really appreciated that extra effort on DeShano's part. Thank You. "

"Jeff Zettel with DeShano construction did a very fine job with our retirement home build. Working with Jeff was a big advantage to us. He was able to see into our plans and working with us put together a home that exceeded our dreams. We would highly recommend Jeff, and all the people at DeShano Companies."

"I was very satisfied with the entire new home construction process by DeShano. I worked with Jeff for several years before and he always maintained the professionalism I encountered from our very first conversation. Jeff was usually available to take a call and always returned calls promptly. He was very knowledgeable and sensitive to our particular needs. The administrative staff was very helpful and professional as well. We could not be happier with our site manager, Doug. He kept us up to date with day by day plans and finished our project on time. All of the workers were highly skilled and took pride in their work. I highly recommend DeShano; we love our new home!"
