  • "Building in partnership with Detering is a no-brainer to us. We get everything we look for on a building materials supplier: quality materials, a committed sales team driven by integrity not upselling, and on-point pricing. In the 18 years we’ve been in business with over 150 custom homes built, we’ve done all but a few homes without Detering and we’ve always looked back and questioned that decision. They are a family business with an impeccable reputation and a 100-year legacy to back them up. We’re also a family business and if we dare to dream of someday having Detering’s reputation and legacy, we can start by sticking with them as our partner."

We work with them for many reasons, but overwhelmingly because of the service and attitude that they bring day in and day out. The level of professionalism and quality in this company are exceptional and an absolute joy to work with. To say we recommend this company would be an understatement. I look forward to many more years of partnership with The Detering Company."

  • "We’ve had the pleasure of working with The Detering Company for years, and they’ve become an essential partner on every one of our homes. From custom millwork and doors, to moldings and more, their breadth of product knowledge and expertise is unmatched in the industry. Detering consistently delivers high-quality materials with outstanding customer service. They’re reliable, responsive, and always easy to work with—qualities that make a big difference when building custom homes. They’re truly the go-to company for so many of the architectural elements that help define our projects, and we trust them completely to get it right every time. We’re grateful for their partnership and look forward to many more builds together."

  • "Detering has great customer service and quick response times from sales staff and estimators. Deliveries are professional and on time. Detering carries more products—lumber, doors, trims, windows, brick—creating a very convenient one-stop shopping experience. Pricing is fair, and the staff is always nice and professional. On top of all of this, the Detering family is wonderful."
