We found Sun Custom Homes while touring their Parade Home in October of 2010. We had been looking at building for quite some time, and as soon as I stepped foot into Sun's home I knew we had found our builder. There was just something special about the craftsmanship and attention to detail...we hadn't seen any other homes quite like theirs.
We began the building process shortly after that first visit. I was a little apprehensive because I had heard how grueling and stressful the building process could be. The experience with Sun Custom Homes, however, was anything but that. Kurt and his attention to detail made choosing the interior designs of our home so exciting. Keith worked hard to get us the home we wanted while still sticking to our original budget, and Lance made sure to get the job done.
We have been in our home since April (right on schedule, I might add) and we absolutely love everything about it. Even though the building process is complete, Sun Custom Homes did not just wash their hands of us. We have kept in close contact with them, and they have made sure to correct any small problems that we might find along the way. It was, and continues to be a pleasure working with them to build our beautiful home.
Thank you, Sun Custom Homes, for building us this beautiful home to raise our family in. We feel so blessed.

Looks like an address right. But the truth is, this is my new home.
Do I love my home? Yes
Did I get a good deal? Most certainly
Would I do it again? You bet
Am I satisfied? Without a doubt
Would I recommend Sun Custom Homes? That answer will take a little longer. I believe when you meet Kurt Dinnes you will quickly figure out that he is passionate about building exceptional homes. Integrity, honesty, quality and client focused this is my experience with the Sun Custom Homes team.
Sun Custom Homes is dedicated to building your dream home.

Gentlemen,
First of all I just wanted to say that Brad and I just left the house and it looks beautiful, I mean WOW! I am very impressed with the way everything is turning out.
Keith- I kept looking at our master bathroom and I couldn't help but remember how much we changed the floor plan, including adding a separate space for the toilet, and separate vanities. You spent a lot of time making sure that Brad and I were pleased, and I just want you to know that we are extremely pleased with all the additions and the "torturing" of the plans ( mud bench, completely changing the kitchen, altering the front, etc) that you spent countless hours on, thank you. You are extremely talented and your attention to detail is beyond impressive.
Kurt- Our home is gorgeous, and I absolutely adore my glazed cabinets in the kitchen (it looks like it came out of a magazine). I truly appreciate all that you have done for the home and I am proud to tell people that Sun Custom Homes built our home and we love it, thank you.
Steve- It's hard to put into words how pleased Brad and I are with your work. You came in mid way through the project but always treated it as if you had been there since day one. You have accommodated Brad and myself with not only our time line but our requests ( sometimes my ridiculous requests) . I could not be more impressed with your work ethic, your emotional intelligence, and your abilities. Thank you for everything.
Thank you again,
Brittany Mueller

A close friend of mine recommended my wife and I consider using Kurt and SUN Custom Homes to build our new home. After our initial meeting with Kurt and Keith, we were convinced SUN was the right choice for us. The thoroughness and attention to detail throughout the process was amazing. Kurts ability to help us understand the different options and possibilities was instrumental in achieving our vision of a beautiful new home. Keith personally ensured the construction stayed on schedule and the few issues were quickly resolved. Even after closing, Keith has quickly resolved the few minor issues. The professionalism, dedication and friendliness of the entire SUN team was outstanding! My wife and I are totally thrilled with the appearance and quality of our new home. If we ever had to build again, we would definitely use Kurt and SUN Custom Homes and highly recommend them to our friends.

To Kurt Dinnes March 13, 2011
It gives me great pleasure to write this letter to you and your staff at Sun Custom Homes. I met Kurt through some friends of mine during a relocation visit through my company. It was at this time that Kurt and I talked about purchasing a home in the OKC area. The next week Kurt took my wife and me to see some of his homes at the Lake Woods addition. It was at this point we were so impressed by the style, luxury and quality that somehow I knew we would be working with Kurt on our new house. Trena and I looked at many homes after that, probably 40 plus homes throughout the 2010 calendar year. After what Kurt had showed and taught us, we decided to stop wasting our time. We moved in December 28th. We have been on cloud nine ever since. We feel like we are on vacation here on the lake, in our Sun Custom Home. We have had, without a doubt, the best customer experience from the start to finish. Kurt, Keith and Lance are just a phone call away to answer our questions and provide assistance when needed. I recommend to any future home buyers to sit down with Kurt or Keith and see for yourselves what we had experienced.
Respectfully

After making the heart wrenching decision to relocate and leave the home that our children were raised in, we truly feel that we were led to SUN Custom Homes for a reason. Just talking to Kurt on the phone made us feel like we were heading in the right direction. And after meeting with Kurt and Keith for the first time in the office, we knew we were making the right decision selecting SUN to build our new home.
We were very much hands-on with the entire project. The whole staff was receptive to our wants and needs. Kurt has an amazing vision and is a stickler to detail. Keith worked hard to get the very best for every dollar, and Lance jumped through hoops to pull it all together. Everyone on the project was amazing at their craft and soon we had a beautiful home to move in to.
Even after we closed on the house and moved in, SUN Custom Homes kept in close contact and made sure everything was just as we wanted. Any little problem that came up was quickly taken care of. Keith stood in the dark, holding a flashlight and helping dig to find a water leak that had occured in the sprinkler system. That is just what kind of people they are. It is very obvious that building houses is not just a business to them, but building homes for families is their passion.
Thank you SUN Custom Homes

After losing our home in a fire we faced the daunting task of finding a quality builder in a short time. SUN Custom Homes built a home for some very dear friends of ours. Our friends were so pleased with their home that they used SUN to build a home for their mother. After our first meeting with Kurt, we knew why our friends were so impressed with SUN Custom Homes. From the very start we were treated like more than clients. We had found a special group of people that treated us though we were family.
With Kurt providing the vision, Keith deploying his special skills in getting the most "bang for our buck", Kathy gently leading us through the maze of choices we had to make, and being a pretty fair "referee" in the few instances we "disagreed" on something, and Jerry, "the magic man", using his special wand of wizardry to make everything come to life. This is the true "dream team" that made our dream home a reality!
For building our dream home, and for acts of human kindness shown to us by everyone at SUN Custom Homes, we will always be grateful. Thank you, we love you.
Randall and Rachael Ramsey
Nearly two years after meeting Keith when Heather and I were beginning to think about building our fist home, we finally decided to make the decision to begin building. Along the way, we met with other builders and always knew in the back of our mind that we wanted SUN Custom Homes to build our home. There was an instant feeling when you met with Keith and later Kurt, that you know they were going to go to great lengths to satisfy your wants and needs. These guys did not disappoint.
Thanks to their team we were very hands on with choosing our layout and everything we wanted to go into the home. If we ever had a problem, Jerry was there in a heartbeat to take care of it.
When you drive through our neighborhood (Lake Woods), you can easily point out the homes that SUN created because of how amazing they look and their attention to detail. We are very proud to be a part of that.
If we are ever fortunate enough to build another home in our lifetime we will not hesitate to contact SUN to build it. There are no other options in our mind. Thanks for everything guys!
Randy and Heather Pogue
From the first encounter we had with Kurt and his team, we were impressed by the organization, interest and thorough manner in which they approached our project. They listened to what we wanted in our home and took great pains to create the "atmosphere and feel" we were hoping for. We were kept involved at every step of the process and had almost daily contact with Kurt and the project manager in regards to our construction process. Six months into our home and we would without question use Sun Custom Homes again. It was a truly enjoyable experience, from planning and the initial phases right through to the final touch ups after we had moved in. The professionalism, energy, and expertise we experienced cannot be understated. We are thrilled with our home and would highly recommend Sun Custom Homes.
Brett and Shea Krablin
In choosing Sun Custom Homes, we had an advantage. Knowing them for years, we knew about their work ethics, honesty, eye for detail and much more. We knew for some time that if we were ever to build, they would be our choice.
We weren't disappointed. They made every step an enjoyable experience.
We couldn't be happier!
Phil and Luelsa LaRue
We absolutely love our home! Sun Custom Homes worked closely with us in making changes and incorporating our ideas and offering several of their own into an existing floor plan to make the home uniquely ours. Kurt is a great listener and has a fabulous sense of design. We worked closely with the team from start to finish and they were gracious to listen to our concerns, critiques, changes and ideas which aren't always welcomed by other builders.
As our friends and family enter the home, they are blown away from the entrance to the patio. There are so many features they love and never fail to mention which features are their favorites. They concur we have received an exceptional home for the money.
We also value the home warranty process that Sun Custom Homes implements. They were diligent in contacting us after 30 days regarding any repairs, paint touch ups, etc. that were required. We handed them our list and they went to work on completing the projects to our satisfaction.
We value our relationship with the Sun Custom Home team and consider them a cut above the rest.
We want to thank you for making our dream home exactly that: a dream!

If I were building tomorrow, or at any time in the near future, Sun Custom Homes would be the first and the last company that we would call. The crew at Sun is outstanding from the moment you meet them, even two years, eight months and 30 days after we closed, I can still call either Kurt or Keith and I can expect a call back within the day from either of them. Outstanding is what they do best.
Our build was our first for my wife and I, and they treated us like family and never once tried to slide something by us given our newness to the home building process. I truly believe my wife's stubbornness about holding out for the "right house to come along" was due to an insight she had that we just hadn't found the right builder yet, until we met Kurt and Keith. We were very hands-on with our home and were very meticulous about details that we wanted and did not want in the house. We made them work hard to achieve what we perceived as our perfect home. However, now that I look back, I don't think we "made" them do anything. They worked hard because that is how both Kurt and Keith are wired. They are very respectable, well-grounded good 'ole boys; and I commend them for these values.
Sun Custom Homes saw our vision of what we envisioned the final house being, and they did what it took to make it happen because they take an intimate pride in what they do. The first time I met both Kurt and Keith, Kurt was showing a model house they had just finished; and Keith was there, down on his knees helping one of the contractors finish out some of the final details. The memory of this now makes me smile because once getting to know both of them and realizing they are both the invested partners in the company, seeing Keith was getting his hands dirty to complete the project made me very proud to know that they took such pride in their work. Meticulous to every detail, 100 percent satisfaction was their only acceptable answer. If we weren't happy with something, we sat down and resolved the issue; no B.S.
Now, I know this comes across as they hung the moon; and yes, we did have a few issues here and there, but that is the building process. Never once did they let us down. When the tile contractor flaked out on us in the middle of the project, they had a new, better crew in there the next day. When we had trouble picking our wall colors, their paint contractor spent over four hours with us painting samples on the walls, explaining colors and what complemented what the best. Even after we had closed and moved in, months later we had an issue with our AC and hot water tank; they never batted an eye and had crews out to correct the issues.
It would be an honor for us to build with them again. We just need to keep saving because the next house they build for us is going to be twice the size of the one we have now! Thank you guys for everything, and we look forward to seeing you at church and in the future to build our next dream home!
David and Nikki Sterling
It was a really big thing for us to build a home. Lori and I have thought about it for several years and knew that one day we would put it all together and build our dream home. We weren't sure how it would come together but we knew that it would!
On a chance meeting we ran into Kurt Dinnes who was gracious enough to personally take the time to show us one of his custom homes. The wheels were in motion for us! It didn't take long for me and Lori along with Kurt to come up with a game plan...and what a game plan it was!
In a short while we were breaking ground and dreaming of what was going to be our new home. Like anything that is custom, it takes work - nothing is easy - but, with Kurt overseeing all of the pertinent details of our "wish list" it all came together and exceeded our expectations; and quite frankly, it even gave Kurt a double take on how well it all turned out!
We are living our dream! Thanks to you, Kurt, and Sun Custom Homes for making it happen.
Tony Mayse and Lori Boren
I had heard horror stories about building a home and since we were building here and living in Japan, I was doubly concerned about it. However, with Sun Custom Homes the experience was one that was enjoyable and fun. We came in to make selections on brick, flooring, carpet appliances and counter tops. They were most helpful in all aspects of the planning and all other stages of building. They even finished the house a month ahead of schedule. They did not run way over cost estimate as many constructions do.
I also have to compliment them on the speed with which they handled things that came up after we had moved in. They were right there to fix whatever we found that needed some adjustment or repair, just as they promised they would be.
Betty Ruth White
We chose Sun Custom Homes to build our house in the Creeks at Wimberley in 2006 after much research and discovering they are one of the few builders who use a footing foundation in all their homes that you normally see in larger custom homes. Kurt and his staff were excellent to work with and gave us a lot of amenities for our money. We had such a good experience that last year we had them build my mother a home in Creeks of Wimberley II.
Randy Parsons
SUN Custom Homes made our building process so easy. It was our first home to have built and I couldn't be happier with our home. Kurt, Keith & Jerry were so very attentive to our wants and concerns. We really felt like they were on our side and getting us the best home for our money. I will most definitely refer any friends and family that are looking to build to SUN. Furthermore, we will use SUN for any and all of our future home construction needs. Thanks again, guys!
