Customer reviews

Homeowners trust us with their mountain homes

Real feedback from our clients in Haywood County who've worked with DNW Structures from concept to completion.

Working with Nikki and DNW Structures was a pleasure. She gave us great advice from design to completion of our guest house. Her personal attention and reassuring manner were instrumental in completing the project. Most of us don’t know much about construction and building homes. Her hand holding was key to setting us at ease and developing confidence throughout the process.

Nikki and her DNW Structures crew were a pleasure to work with on my new house. From the initial planning, working with town officials, understanding my budget, keeping the process moving and the quality building, it was top notch. Nikki was extremely helpful in offering advice and input as needed and was incredibly organized during the building process. I could not have asked for a better experience. Would recommend Nikki to everyone!

From the moment I met Nikki, to then meeting her family and crews, I knew we were in good hands. Honest. Dependable. COMMUNICATIVE during the entire process. And they show up! WOW!

Nikki and Doug, along with the the entire DNW crew were incredible for work with. They gutted a 1966 house with almost 2000 sq. ft. down to the studs!! With Nikki's eye and passion for what she does along with Dougs precision and craftsmanship, they created an entire new floorplan that I wouldn't have imagined. This brother/sister duo are THE REAL DEAL! To say they were a pleasure to work with would be an understatement. Honest. Transparent. Dedicated professionals.

I’ve had a great experience working with Nikki, Doug and DNW. Nikki is a very reasonable and professional businesswoman, and one of the things I value most is that agreements made with her truly hold — if something is promised, it gets done. She focuses on substance and results, and she genuinely cares about getting things completed properly. That kind of reliability is rare and extremely valuable in business. I would confidently recommend Nikki, Doug and DNW to anyone looking for a trustworthy and effective partner.
