About Us

THREE GENERATIONS STRONG

Since 1960, Dave Ott Homes has been the premier custom builder in Greater Cincinnati.

The company was founded with a guiding mission: Deliver the best homebuilding experience, and build the finest quality custom homes that provide years of pleasure, as well as longterm investment value.

REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE

Throughout our three generations of building some of the region’s most admired homes, our name has become synonymous with distinctive design, attention to detail, high quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and unsurpassed customer support.

There is a reason REALTORS® advertise “a Dave Ott home” in their listings when one of our custom homes comes on the resale market. The phrase speaks volumes to Greater Cincinnati buyers—who know instantly that the home offers the highest quality and value.

DISTINCTIVE DESIGN

Great design begins with listening. We take the time to understand your style, needs, and wish list. We start with your vision, then use our expertise to recommend features, amenities, materials, and more that you may not have known were possible—resulting in a one-of-a-kind home of timeless beauty that exceeds your expectations.

HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

For a home that radiates luxury and quality now and into the future, we use the highest quality materials in the building process. Superior materials offer greater durability, longevity, improved energy efficiency, increased property value, better aesthetics, and enhanced safety.

EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP

Expert craftsmanship is more than the technical ability to hammer nails and lay bricks. Craftsmanship is art—encompassing knowledge, experience, precision, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail. Our highly skilled and experienced craftspeople transform your vision for your custom home into tangible reality. 

UNSURPASSED CUSTOMER SERVICE

We make sure your building experience is easy and enjoyable—from your initial meeting with Dave Ott through your move-in day and beyond.  

We’re committed to clear communication, active listening, and transparency. We’re available when you need us, and proactive in anticipating your questions and needs.
