Don Dusselier and Leonard Marks grew up on neighboring farms, were fraternity brothers at the same university, and in 1989 formed Dusselier and Marks Homes, which has become one of the most successful home building companies in Kansas.
ABOUT US

When asked why their homes are viewed as a cut above, they mention attention to detail and personal supervision. This comes from their involvement with every phase of the building process. “The housing industry and building products change each year, so by personally inspecting each task we see how individual products work for our clients. We pay attention to each detail and keep up on trends and innovations,” states Don Dusselier. He continues, “The most important ingredient for delivering a quality product is personal supervision. We are in the homes every day. We sincerely care that the home is being constructed correctly, and each of our subcontractors know that we care.”
Another emphasis is contact with the home buyer. “It gives our clients peace of mind to know that we are available to answer their questions and help them through the process. We emphasize an open line of communication,” says Leonard. “We do not depend on superintendants. We are on the jobsite every day.”
Leonard grew up in the home building business. His father was a builder in the Kansas City area for over thirty years. Leonard says, “I actually had a behind-the-desk job as an industrial engineer in Kentucky. My wife worked for a builder, and I realized I was paying more attention to her job than to mine, so I came back and joined my dad in the home building business.”
Don also came to the industry through a family business. “My father had concrete construction companies. I started out working for him each summer from the time I was 14, and then later, full time. Leonard was building with his dad, who was nearing retirement and slowing down. When his dad retired, Leonard and I became partners.”
Dusselier and Marks Homes, Inc has been the recipient of numerous HBA awards over the years. Their homes have earned the Pick of the Parade Award, Distinctive Plan and Design Award and the American Dream Award on several occasions.
In closing, they add, “Our personal involvement with our home owners sets us apart. We hope you take the time to talk to us and consider our homes. Your home is one of your largest assets, and it is vital to choose an experienced builder with a superior reputation to create lasting value for your family.”
