Stephen Mark Dabbs
Owner
Steve Dabbs of Dabbs Custom Builders is the builder you will want for your new custom home. Our home was completed in the Rancho Palo Verde community of Alpine, in mid 2011. The design of our home is quite unique and more common in the San Francisco area. His subcontractors were very professional and provided great results for reasonable prices. With Steve's assistance and the respect of his subcontractors, our home was built below actual budget and on time. Steve was on the job most every day during construction and always with a smile. My wife and I interviewed several other contractors prior to beginning construction. We made the right choice. Steve's personality resulted in a terrific professional and personal relationship for both my wife and myself. Don & Leslie
