Dan Fette graduated from Texas A&M in 1983 with a BS in Building Construction and a MS in Construction Management. After many years of working for others in the construction industry, Dan started off on his own in 2003 with the desire to build just a few really great houses a year. That way he could devote his full attention to the project and give truly memorable service to his customers. Dan's experience includes managing the construction or directing the remodeling of well over 100 houses through the years, including the 2004 construction of the Zero Energy Home in North Texas, that won "Best of Show" at the Fall 2004 Greater Dallas Parade of Homes.

Dan currently serves as the Chairman of the Green Building Committee of the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Greater Dallas, and as incoming President of the HBA Denton Division. He is also a member of the Energy & Environmental Building Association.

At Dan Fette Builders we believe a home should be light on expense, but heavy on comfort. To be a place of respite and recharging, a home should certainly service the day to day functions of living with ease, and incorporate features that refresh and delight us, but it can do these things and also be designed to operate at minimum cost. SImilarly, a carefully designed and appointed house can be a place where we show the greatest care for our environment through conscientious use of our natural resources tied into its construction and operation. All of these characteristics distinguish the kind of project that we like to build.
