Where we build in Delaware
All three counties, from the Pennsylvania line to the Maryland one. The pages below are not sales copy with the town name swapped in. Each one covers the zoning that applies, who actually issues the permit, what the ground is like and how far we are from it, because those are the four things that decide what a build costs and how long it takes.
New Castle County sits at the top of the state, so our crews run up I-1 and Route 1 rather than working out of the yard each morning. Expect roughly an hour and a half from our Millsboro office to most of the county.
Kent County is the middle of the state and the easy half of our range. Dover is about fifty minutes from our Millsboro office, Milford closer to thirty, and nothing in the county is more than about an hour and ten.
Sussex is the county we cover fastest. Georgetown is about fifteen minutes from the office, the coastal towns twenty to twenty-five, and western Sussex around half an hour.
A note on distance
Our office is in Millsboro, and we are straight with people about what that means. Sussex and southern Kent are fifteen to fifty minutes away, and we run those builds with daily supervision without thinking about it. Northern New Castle County is an hour and a half to two hours, and a project there works when it is large enough to justify crews staying near the site.
If you are weighing us against someone closer to your lot, ask. We will tell you honestly whether the distance is going to cost you anything on your particular project, and sometimes the answer is that you would be better off with a local firm. That is a more useful conversation than a pitch.
