The Diyanni family started their company in 1979 as a construction company called 5-Brothers. They had always worked together as a family. In addition to learning construction skills from their father, he also ingrained in them the Biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and respect. These values are still at the core of the Diyanni Difference.
Since 1979, Diyanni Homes has been an innovator in the housing industry. We've won many awards for our homes, including the BIA Parade of Homes "People's Choice Award" several years in a row. In 1979, the Diyanni family moved to Ohio where we opened a small construction company called 5 Brothers. In the 1980s, the company started building homes in the Columbus area.

We are in the process of building a house with Diyanni in Louisville Kentucky and the process has been very painfu.l We are on our 2nd project manager since ground breaking in June of 21. We had our construction loan done in February of 21. Of course every delay is blamed on the pandemic and lack of workers which is not the case in all circumstances it is about not having the proper tradesman in the area where they are expanding. I will say when work is done it is good craftsmanship but building this house is been very painful and no telling how long until it is finished. we've been waiting

My husband and I used DIyanni to build our new house. We started the process at the beginning of COVID19 pandemic. We loved our interactions with the staff - especially Angie and Clayanne! It was a rough process dealing with COVID delays and such. But in the end, we love our house and think we got a great value by using Diyanni. I would recommend the company and use them again in the future.

We are still early in the process with Diyanni, but so far it has been a very good experience. We appreciate the professionalism and patience Clayanne, Angie, and others at Diyanni have demonstrated in answering our questions as we work through details of building a home that is right for us. We are looking forward to moving through the next steps in building our forever home.

Very frustrating company to work with. Expect to see your framing go up quickly , and then sit stagnant for months. My husband and I went out there several consecutive weeks with no work or sign of activity more times that I can count. My opinion is they sign on too many contracts without the appropriate labor in place. We made zero change orders requests. We had ONE delay because back ordered insulation. Meanwhile, our exterior materials sat outside in the driveway for 3+ months. Salesperson really duped us on the timeline. 7-9 months from dig date is not realistic whatsoever with this company

Overall very satisfied with our experience with the building process with Diyanni so far. I know they have a lot of business recently and it somewhat shows, but overall they have been responsive and from what we've seen of homes they've built and from other customer testimonies that we've seen, the build quality is certainly there. We chose Diyanni because they were a good balance of custom and pre-set plans, and to that end they are well suited. Any changes we've wanted to make they can accommodate, but at the same time we don't have to make a decision for every tiny piece of the house which certainly

Chose Diyanni and started our home buying process in July. We chose Diyanni because they include a lot of things that would have been upgrades at other builders. The sales staff and color consultants have been great. It is early but I feel that we will continue to see the same quality service throughout the project. I gave four stars because there were times in the beginning that we were waiting for someone to contact us about starting the process or what to do next and we ended up contacting our sales consultant to move things along. Since this is our first custom build, I am not familiar with

We've been working with Diyanni Homes for a few months now and so far the quality of their workmanship and employees has been a positive experience. Designing our Forever Home is an incredibly complex (and time consuming) project. The consultation we've received thus far has been extremely helpful, and we're very excited to see the end result! Are we there yet?
My only criticism is a shared pain point which, I think, Diyanni also feels regarding the constraints and challenges trying to do all this during a COVID crisis and housing boom.
I'll update this review as necessary while our project progresses

Had the best time designing the exterior of our new home with Clayanne Gould in the Diyanni Design Center. She was so patient and helpful with us in choosing our exterior colors. She came up with creative and affordable options for us to achieve the look we've been dreaming about for our forever home!!!

Things were a little rocky in the beginning. Poor communication by the sales associate, she took many days to respond if she responded at all. I definitely feel like the project was unnecessarily delayed because of this. Now that her portion of the process has been completed things are picking up. Everyone else I've worked with has been great. Especially John R. and Clayanne! I'm Looking forward to breaking ground.

As a person who runs a business I can appreciate the struggles of following up with clients and trying to gain their trust and business. Let me say my wife and I talked to many builders but we always ended back up both saying we liked the approach of Diyanni Homes the best. Now we had been trying to purchase property to build on for a while because of a snag in the title search. Julie Baumker was remarkable through the 18 month process to finally close on the land. Yes 18 months!! She never pressured us at all just followed up remembering details about our family and checking how they were doing

Working with Diyanni has been one of the best experiences in home building. The staff is absolutely easy to work with. We loved the fact that they left the options to us but would add their personal insight, which helped us tremendously. We can't wait to see the finished product. I would without a doubt refer Diyanni to anyone looking to build.

We selected Diyanni for many reasons but one being their superior online reviews. Little did we know that the reviews were all from the Columbus area not the Northeast Ohio area! We closed on our new construction home 2 weeks before our 18 month old daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. We shared the catastrophic news with the builder within 24 hours of her diagnoses. Phil Diyanni advised he would personally oversee our build however that was NOT the case...instead we had 5 Project Managers through the process. After they failed to complete the build within the 210 days and the additional 2 months

My wife and I chose Diyanni Homes at the end of June to build our forever home on our own lot. Our experience so far has been great! Carolyn, Jim, Debra, and Kim have been consistently courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. We found a wonderful floor plan and we were able to make some adjustments without any hassle to better fit our family needs. Diyanni is really interested in helping us build a home that will be a treasure for us. We are very happy with our home builder choice.

This review comes from two perspectives... (1) Our current home is a Diyanni build neighborhood home from around 2001. We've lived in this home for 10 years and have been very happy with it. I'm a very detail oriented person (engineer by trade) and I notice the little things. I see quality materials and workmanship throughout - details that Diyanni has chosen to include in every home they build. I have trust in their processes and commitment to quality which is why... (2) We decided to have Diyanni build our new home. Building a custom home on your own land is quite an adventure and a bit stressful

Well, you might think this is a biased review, but I assure you it is sincere. These homes are built by my four brothers. We all grew up building homes, but I am a pastor, so I build people now, they still build homes. But I can assure you, know one knows homebuilding better than they do. We have all built houses from when we were little. I actually have a picture of me working on the roof of a house at 5 years old! On top of this first hand working experience of building homes, these guys have integrity! They are honest and fair. You won't get a better house built anywhere!
