K & V Homes was established in January 1997 as a collaboration between two high school classmates, each having gone their own way to pursue further education and then reuniting to initiate a career in homebuilding. Dean graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Finance and Colin graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. These degrees created a solid foundation for their next step as respected homebuilders in the Des Moines metropolitan area.
Prior to their homebuilding venture, both Dean and Colin worked as framers, constructing houses for other homebuilders. Today, Colin and Dean use their education, 40 years of combined residential construction experience, and designations as Graduate Master Builders to build quality custom homes.
Having won several awards for past HomeShowExpo houses demonstrates the quality, craftsmanship, and pride that are a part of each and every K & V home.
