About Us
Company Story
Lee Custom Homes was founded with the goal of creating personalized living spaces of enduring quality. In 2014 brothers Dan and Derek Lee started their first project together. From the beginning the two brothers were able to focus on their strengths, allowing the partnership to naturally work. Dan came from a construction background in the Sioux City area and focuses on creativity, hands on building, and job site management. Derek came from a commercial real estate background in Minneapolis and is focused on design, customer relationships, and project management. Together they have over 25 years of construction and real estate experience. Even though they are focused on different areas of the day to day business, Dan and Derek share the same values of attention to every detail, high quality customer service, and relationships with customers, employees, vendors and sub-contractors.

SOLD
2020 wasn't so bad, we sold our Pikes Point spec house and gave the customers a beautiful home with some beautiful features.
We were thrilled to add a few additional custom items to their list such as the built-in bunk beds in the bonus room above the garage.
With plenty of projects going on right now and more stuff coming in the spring, we are excited for what the future holds and excited to keep everyone updated with great pictures.
