Tim and John know that the building of a home is a personal journey for the client: this is where their clients will raise their families, make their memories and spend their valued free time. Dewson Construction’s focus on the client, their dreams and desires is what has fueled Dewson’s success in becoming the area’s premier custom home builder, home renovator and general contractor. Dewson’s quality, attention to detail and customer service is truly unmatched. Dewson has been awarded the Best of Houzz Design and Service multiple times over the years, including most recently for 2016! Dewson’s revered reputation is also attributable to the best internal crafts force in the country. Our own master craftsmen love what they do and their love is very evident in the fine woodwork that they produce. Fine craftsmen like this are a rare breed today. While Dewson is a superior builder, we also focus on maximizing our client’s money. Our long and established relationships create buying power with our vendors and subcontractors and enable us to be very competitive in the bidding process. Additionally, we use the latest technology both in the field and in the office to manage the planning and building phases as efficiently as possible, creating better communication for the client and better process management for all. With Dewson’s strong customer relationships, superior quality, old world craftsmanship and eye on value, we are the obvious choice to help you build or renovate your dream home. We are proud to say that we consistently exceed the expectations of each of our clients. Dewson Construction Company’s portfolio includes stately manor homes and estates in southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware, along with classically styled coastal homes in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Stone Harbor and Avalon in New Jersey and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

The Dewson team repeatedly showed their home-building expertise by making many thoughtful suggestions throughout the planning and construction process that significantly improved the end result. Dewson’s craftsmanship was excellent and the attention to detail was impressive. Our house has a great deal of intricate millwork and tilework and the end product is beautiful! Dewson’s customer service was also great. For example our project manager came to the house during a nor’ easter to make certain the basement was dry and that the rest of the house was ok (even though he wasn’t scheduled to be working on the house that day). My father-in-law, who knows construction, commented, “Now that’s a good construction manager!" We couldn’t be more thrilled with our home! Many thanks to the Dewson Company, John McMahon, and Kevin O’Grady!

This is the first house we've ever built and contrary to the headaches and problems we anticipated, the process has gone very well thanks to Dewson Construction, who have been so helpful in every phase, including maximizing our budget. We are confident that our satisfaction is a priority with them and our wonderful site manager is priceless. If we should ever decide to build again, we wouldn't even consider another company. We can't recommend Dewson enough, from Mr. Dewson himself down to every subcontractor. LikeNovember 25, 2016 Comment from Dewson Construction Company: Hi Linda, We are so grateful for your kind response. We are thrilled that you are so happy with your home and the process.

Patricia Loew Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client Working the Dewson Company has been a great experience. They were recommended to me by the architect on the project. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. The people at Dewson were so nice to work with - nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Dewson to anyone! LikeJuly 7, 2016 Comment from Dewson Construction Company: Thank you Mrs. Loew for your nice words. We loved this project! The Interior Collection Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Colleague As an interior design firm located in Southlake, Texas, we had an outstanding experience working 'side-by-side' with the Dewson Construction team on a new build on the shores of Delaware! From the initial on-site meeting through the final finishing touches, Dewson Construction executed everything exactly as we specified - seamlessly - and most of our communication during the building process was conducted 'long distance'! Our collaboration with Dewson created a beautiful space for the homeowners and the results were spectacular. Their scope of work, architecturally as well as their attention to detail, resulted in a creative, high quality custom home for our clients. The entire Dewson team is an exceptional group of professionals that are friendly and helpful on every level. We look forward to working with them again in the future! LikeApril 26, 2016 petejones84 Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client The Dewson team has been an absolute pleasure to work with and the results of their work could not be of higher quality. Our home renovation was completed by true craftsman who attended every detail to ensure historical accuracy. Tim and his team took a set of guiding standards from us and created results far beyond our original expectations. Our project is one which will be admired for years to come.

We at Dewson pride ourselves on making our clients happy and by focusing on every detail we accomplish that! Natalie Bush Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client Dewson Construction did an amazing job on our home in Rehoboth Beach. The whole team was a pleasure to work with every step of the way--from planning with Jamie and John to our project manager Paul. The team worked with our schedule--we live out of state--and we stayed on schedule for the project. Paul was always willing to be available when we were in town. We have built several homes and this is the first one where the construction site was always organized and clean! That attitude was reflected in the entire process where attention to detail was evident in every aspect of Dewson's work. Thank you for helping make our dream a reality! LikeDecember 9, 2015 Jay Townsend Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client We have built several houses, with various builders in Texas, Carolinas, and Delaware. This experience was clearly the best. Quality, attention to detail, and overall "can do attitude" was superior. There were no loose ends, or communication gaps during the design or construction phase. Quality is best we've seen. Like (2)November 6, 2015 zudie Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars Relationship Client Having built several previous homes we were prepared for the usual difficulties one encounters during the construction process. Working with Dewson was very different and actually quite pleasant. From the regularly scheduled progress meetings to the helpful advice offered by them, together we have built a wonderful house. They interfaced effectively and frequently with both the architect and interior designer to meet our expectations.
