Owner and Contractor for G.D.V. Custom Homes

---

"Our building experience with G.D.V. Custom Homes was nothing short of fabulous. Gene always heard us out and thought in different angles to accommodate our sometimes very ridiculous requests. His team was great to work with and we appreciated that most of his contacts were local businesses. If we do decide to build again. G.D.V. Custom Homes will be our first choice."

"As an architect, it is crucial to partner with a builder who not only brings the design to life but also prioritizes client satisfaction. Gene DeVitis of G.D.V. Custom Homes has consistently delivered on both fronts for me and my clients. Over the years, I have come to trust Gene implicitly. He has always been at the top of my builder list. His dedication to excellence ensures that my clients are always in good hands when he is the general contractor."

"If someone asked about my experience with Gene, I would say that he always presented me with solutions, not problems, when an issue arose. He was fair with extras, and the entire experience from start to finish was pleasurable. His trades respected him, and the finished project was impeccable."

 "I love my beautiful house.  It is truly comfortable to live in. It took almost ten years from design to construction completion. It was truly a pleasure to work with Gene. He came with 30 years of construction experience and was very responsible as well as detail oriented.  I could discuss every aspects of my needs and changes from interior to exterior. He was very easy to communicate. Things could always be completed efficiently. All in all, you can, not only have a beautiful house build but also have fun in the process."

 "I have had the pleasure of working with G.D.V Homes for some years now, and I can confidently say that their commitment to quality and excellence is unmatched. Throughout our collaboration on numerous projects, Gene has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of both construction and design, ensuring that every detail is executed to perfection. Gene is always professional and reliable, making the construction process smooth and enjoyable. They are not only adept at meeting deadlines but also excel in maintaining open and effective communication, which is crucial in any successful project. Working with Gene has been a fantastic experience, and I look forward to many more successful projects together."

 "Gene and his team were  instrumental in creating our contemporary dream home. He helped with negotiating the purchase of the lot. From there he worked with the architect to site the plan and offer his expertise on the neighborhood. His years of building helped  us save money and create an end product we are very pleased with. He and all of his subcontractors are responsive and care about the work they do. He is reliable and offers years of experience and worked within our budget. He is able to effectively problem solve which saved us money and still delivered what we wanted. He is generally a great person to spend time with. We highly recommend Gene and the entire team at G.D.V. Homes."

"We first met Gene from G.D.V. Homes 20 years ago when we purchased a spec house from him. After touring numerous homes on the market, the exceptional quality of Gene's work stood out. His willingness to customize the house to our needs made the process remarkably smooth. In 2016, we decided to build our dream home. Knowing the complexities of building a custom home, we reached out to Gene for assistance. Despite the challenges presented by a difficult lot, Gene made the experience exceptional. He expertly guided us through the design process, helping us maximize the lot's potential, and ultimately delivered a home that we truly love. Throughout the process, he treated us with the utmost professionalism and respect. We continue to stay in contact to this day. We highly recommend Gene to anyone seeking a home builder. We have referred many of our close friends to him, all of whom have had the same outstanding experience."

 "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gene and his team for just over 15 years. Our project history includes many high end custom homes as well as large scale renovations. I have worked with many Quality builders in Tucson but none have resulted in such successful collaborations as those with G.D.V. Homes and Gene. It is rare that the partnership between Designer and Builder are so well integrated, as has been my experience on every project with Gene. We have a special understanding of each other’s  

processes, and high levels of respect for each other’s works and role in creating homeowners visions. I truly believe that clients benefit from this unique partnership that we have created through time.  

The true tests have come in the inevitable problem solving phases during construction;

to approach construction as a fluid-process, is something that only comes with experience and the ability to listen and interpret client’s visions as they may evolve and change. None have been better at this than Gene."

 "Priscilla and I own a home in the Mountain Estates in Ventana Canyon and have known Gene DeVitis for over 15 years. During that time, G.D.V. Homes has successfully completed numerous construction projects for us, both large and small, ranging from significant water damage remediation to adding a substantial addition to our residence.

Construction conditions on the steep hillsides of the Catalina Foothills are extremely challenging, but Gene has consistently demonstrated his skill in efficiently evaluating, designing, and completing all of our projects on time and within budget.

Based on my extensive experience with Gene, I wholeheartedly recommend G.D.V. Homes for any new construction projects or renovations."

 "After touring one of Gene DeVitis’ completed projects, we were certain he was the right person to help us build our dream home. From the get-go, Gene understood our vision and instantly set to work identifying small and large modifications to improve the flow and function of the build. As with any project, delays and other issues popped up along the way. Gene consistently helped us navigate these complications and pushed forward to keep true to the original design, oftentimes saving significant time and money. When building a home from scratch making every choice starts to feel overwhelming, but Gene’s expertise and years of experience helped guide us through with suggestions that always improved the plan. He is patient, understanding, and it was a pleasure to work with Gene and his exceptional team. We want to thank Gene from the bottom of our hearts for helping our dream become a reality. We highly recommend Gene, we cannot imagine building our home with anyone else."

"I've known Gene for over 20 years, and he possesses and instills values of unsurpassed honesty, complete integrity, open communication, transparency in addressing difficult issues, prompt responsiveness, and unwavering reliability. Gene has a regular crew that has been with him for over 18 years, embodying the principles of doing things the right way. Their meticulous work gives Gene a competitive advantage over other builders.

Gene's 35+ years as a general contractor have helped him solidify relationships with Tucson's best subcontractors. He personally knows and works directly with the company owners, ensuring high standards and quality work. Any issues are addressed immediately and rectified. Gene also anticipates problems in advance, foreseeing impractical designs and providing alternatives. His deep experience in permitting, inspections, building codes, and HOA regulations is invaluable. County inspectors trust him, and he negotiates on behalf of clients to save money on products and services.

If you're looking to build or remodel a bespoke custom home in Tucson, there is no better builder than Gene DeVitis. I trust him completely to get your project to the finish line."

 "Working with G.D.V. Homes, and specifically with Gene DeVitis, has been a wonderful experience. We were in search of a custom home builder in Tucson who could bring our dream home in the desert to life. Gene worked exceptionally well with us and our architect/design team to make that happen.  

From a personal standpoint, Gene is very engaging, organized and thoughtful. Our interactions with Gene were always enjoyable.  We also developed great trust with him as our project developed, which  

was a very important dimension for us due to our not living in the Tucson area currently.   

From a professional standpoint, as a custom home builder, Gene’s talents really stood out.  He is very well organized, kept us well-informed with updates and timely answers to our questions, and kept our project on time, if not ahead of time. Gene also provided great cost-effective “tweaks” to our architect’s  

plan without impacting the aesthetic appeal of our home.  We also became aware of how well Gene has cultivated and maintained a great team of sub-contractors and vendors, many of which have worked with Gene for years. In short, G.D.V. Homes far surpassed our expectations in building home in Tucson!"
