"We recommend a Dean Home unequivocally to anyone. You will find Dean Jasper to be ethical, responsive, and serious about building his personal reputation in an industry not always known for going the extra mile. If we ever move again, we would call Dean to build us our next home."

"It wasn’t until we met Dean Jasper that we knew we were dealing with someone who would say it like it is, no fluff, no attitude, and use his ears twice as much as his mouth. We knew we wanted very specific materials and perfect finish work, nothing less then what you would expect from a 2.2 million dollar home. We were not going to flex, and to our pleasant surprise we never had to. Dean runs a very tight ship with all of his workers, many who have said to me that Dean is overbuilding our home, such as reinforcing the floors three different ways. His willingness to make sure that we were absolutely happy with the home is still being demonstrated to this day, two years later."

"In order to understand the quality of a Dean Home, we must first acknowledge Dean as the builder. He truly understands the art of customer service. We appreciate the fact that he is constantly available for even the minutest of details, and is of course true to his responsibility of a newly built home. We have come to trust and value Dean’s judgment and honesty. Dean you have truly built a quality home. From your intricate and incredibly organized wiring to your fine hardware material, your house embodies quality and class. You have used the finest materials for millwork, kitchens and bedrooms. Your landscaping design is true to the natural beauty of the surrounding woods. Your finishes are of highest quality, and your floor plans are livable yet regal. We would like to thank you for making one of our most important and intimate endeavors, the purchase of our home, a very positive and happy experience. We hope you will have the time to build our next home."

"This was our fifth home we have lived in. You are the third builder we have personally known and you far exceeded our expectations as a professional builder and an honest man. When I look back at the last year, I have a hard time thinking of anything that was not perfect in our home. Dean’s work has been carefully and skillfully finished. He checked everything to make sure it was just right for us."

"Dean Homes excels at presenting options and meeting the challenges of homebuilding while setting the higher standard for quality and service. We have built four houses prior to working with Dean, and have never had the kind of follow up service that Dean has provided. The quality of our home is superb."

Meticulous service, finest quality.
A few years ago, we bought our dream house, built by Dean Homes as their showpiece for Quality Street. This house is a true work of art, with craftsman touches and superior quality everywhere in the design: countertops of finest Italian granite, three water features, stone fireplace, beautiful wood floors, Japanese-style wood entryway, soaring ceilings, skylights, luxury bathrooms, covered patio, all natural stone, granite and wood throughout. Every detail of the design is meticulous and top quality.
Before, during, and after our move-in, Dean Homes provided excellent service, reliable and responsible, responding quickly and professionally to every homeowner’s concern, no matter how minor. Years after our move, Dean Homes still helps us with repair and maintenance as needed under warranty. That said, the house is so well designed and built that it still looks fresh and new.
We enthusiastically recommend Dean Homes for both design and followup service.

We cannot say enough about how much we have enjoyed our Dean Home since we bought it almost three years ago. The quality of the workmanship is superb and, for those few minor items that required additional attention after the sale, Dean and his team were very responsive and effective in their actions to earn our satisfaction. Dean has also been valuable in providing excellent contacts for various extras we have added to the house since we purchased it. People who come to our home never fail to say how beautiful it is! When we mention to people our home was built by Dean Homes, people often say they have heard Dean is great. Excellent initial quality and responsive after-purchase service: you can't beat how Dean and his team execute their business!

"It has been our pleasure to work with Dean Homes on two remodel projects. We completed our kitchen three years ago and refinished our basement this year. Dean worked primarily as our consultant and guided us through the projects from initial design to completion. He walked us through every decision keeping in mind the constraints of our budget, while offering clear choices and honest feedback. He proposed creative ideas for our design problems and made sure the sub-contractors understood exactly what was necessary. He continuously monitored the work and did a superb job communicating with my wife and me. His work and attention to detail were exceptional and he demanded that every single task be done correctly. The customer service he provided was beyond anything we have experienced in the industry. We simply cannot say enough good things about working with Dean. We would recommend Dean and his company without reservation."

"We have used Dean as our 'go to' person through numerous remodel and house projects, including significant bathroom and kitchen remodels and a 350sf addition to our home. Over the years, Dean has helped with and given advice on design, plumbing, cabinetry, roofing, windows, flooring and much more. Dean always knows the ins and outs of every situation, including the range of options for how to handle them. Whenever we had a question or issue, we knew we could count on Dean for the solution. Most impressive, though, is the level of quality in Dean's work. We have seen his new home construction, which is flawless, and have used Dean to check work done by our contractors on every single remodel job we've ever done. Dean has an incredible eye for detail, picking up on even the slightest issue, enabling us to make sure our contactors reach a level of quality much higher than had we not involved Dean.
In terms of budgetary considerations, Dean is very good at breaking down the options to provide a sense of the tradeoffs between cost and the look and functionality of the finished product. Dean is very good at coming up with creative solutions that are more efficient from a construction standpoint and in fact better in the end product.
In short, we recommend Dean Homes without hesitation. We have worked with many contractors over the years and are sure Dean and Dean Homes offers a level of service, construction, and final product far above others. Had Dean Homes always offered remodel services, no question we would have used them extensively."

"To anyone considering a residential construction project,
I write this letter of recommendation for Dean Jasper of Dean Homes with absolutely no reservations. Whether you are considering a major remodel or a new construction project, you will not find a more conscientious, quality focused builder in the Seattle area.
In 15 years as a residential architect I have never come across a contractor or home builder with a more thorough knowledge of residential construction than Dean. Dean has an unmatched eye for quality in the finished product. Most importantly, he understands that achieving quality you can see starts with paying attention to things you can’t. I have personally used Dean as a second set of eyes to help me spot and correct issues on other contractor’s jobsites. In my experience, few builders are willing to put in the time and effort to get things right that Dean is.
Dean has demonstrated his knowledge and his commitment to customer service in all phases of construction. From project planning, through the build out and into the warranty period Dean moves projects forward efficiently with exceptional skill and client care.
Regardless of whether you are looking for a full service contractor, an owner’s representative, or consulting services for your project, I cannot recommend Dean Homes highly enough."

"I have worked with Dean Jasper for 10 years as he has purchased land, tear downs and multi-family projects as well as marketing mid to upper end homes with me as his representative. I have worked with Dean from planning phase to final customer service on many homes both speculative and custom during this time and have nothing but the utmost in opinion and trust in his professional capacities in building a high quality home with low maintenance results in mind.
When it was time for a down to the walls remodel of my personal residence Dean was the only saving grace. Once demolished down to the subfloor many surprises showed up that had been behind closed walls. I quickly realized I was over my head and in need of a professional trouble shooter if I ever expected to have it put back together properly. Dean assessed the situation quickly, formulated a revised plan of action for all of the details, instituted a revised schedule and called in his A-team of subcontractors. With their endless knowledge and teamwork Dean and his crew had things back on track seamlessly. Dean was invaluable in his efficiency both in time and money in getting the job done on schedule and more importantly in making sure it was done right. I can honestly say that I would never consider another project of that scope without him leading the way.
Building/remodeling can be a long, expensive and at times daunting process. One of the greatest assets Dean brings to the table is his daily supervision on the job site. When inevitable snags arise Dean is immediately on top of the situation for troubleshooting. Dean is available to answer questions, discuss options, provide creative design ideas and provide guidance with the hundreds of decisions at hand. That knowledge and supervision is irreplaceable and having a "hands on" builder around to manage the process first hand makes all of the difference.
Another side benefit of working with Dean Homes is in the extra attention to detail that goes into all of his projects. Spotless jobsites, organized binders of information for the homeowner to reference and diplomatic interactions within communities all go towards a happy and successful project. These extra efforts can turn a stressful endeavor into a project that exceeds all expectations."
