Dvele Construction in Keller, TX | Sawyer Remodel Fort Worth
We’re an independent Dvele service contractor working across Keller, and we handle everything from full kitchen and bathroom remodels inside Dvele homes to the envelope repairs this brand’s construction demands. What makes our Dvele work different here comes down to one thing: we understand how Keller’s expansive clay soil moves against the tight, continuous air barrier these homes are built around. Call (682) 841-6652 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any tool leaves the truck.
Why Keller Residents Choose Us for Dvele Service
Dvele builds homes tighter than almost anything else on the market. That’s the brand’s whole pitch: a continuous envelope, precise ventilation, smart systems that regulate themselves. But a home that precise lives in a real place, and Keller‘s place is clay. Heavy, expansive, shrink-and-swell clay that moves slabs and cracks drywall and slowly eats cast-iron plumbing. When a Dvele home’s foundation shifts, the envelope shifts with it, and you can’t just patch that with caulk and hope. Our crew has spent years diagnosing Dvele envelope and systems failures across North Texas, and we’ve learned that the fix usually starts below grade, not at the surface.
Luca Romano, our owner and lead remodeler, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent two decades swinging hammers on everything from tract homes to custom builds. He still walks his own jobs because he’s seen what happens when the owner stops showing up. The work talks. We just back it up.
We also run every Keller project on The Relay Standard: live arrival time, before-and-after photo updates, and a written price before work begins. That’s the Dvele sales & service experience we bring to every job.

Common Dvele Construction Problems We Solve in Keller
- Envelope air-sealing failures at plate-to-foundation joints. Keller’s expansive clay heaves and settles with every wet-dry cycle, and that movement pulls apart the seal where Dvele’s wall plates meet the slab. You lose energy performance fast, and humidity creeps into the wall assembly. We repair these joints with Dvele-specified tapes and sealants, not whatever’s on the shelf.
- ERV/HRV condensate drainage backups. Keller’s hard water leaves scale in the low-point drain lines of Dvele’s ventilation units. The scale builds until condensate backs up into the mechanical closet. We’ve replaced these drain lines with larger-diameter PEX runs and added scale filters so the problem doesn’t return in six months.
- Window and door flashing delamination. Keller summers bring brutal UV, and spring storms bring hail. Dvele’s narrow sill profiles are precise, but the flashing tape degrades and water finds its way in. We remove the old flashing, inspect the rough opening, and re-flash with materials that match Dvele’s specs.
- Smart-home sensor drift from attic heat soak. A Keller August puts 140-plus degrees in an attic. Temperature and humidity sensors in Dvele’s automation system start reading wrong, and the climate logic goes haywire. We recalibrate or replace those sensors and relocate them where attic heat can’t cook them.
- Under-slab plumbing failures conflicting with the envelope. Keller’s original 1980s and 1990s cast-iron pipes are failing citywide. When one fails under a Dvele, the repair can’t punch random holes through the slab, because every penetration is a breach in the continuous air barrier. We do slab-level leak detection first, then plan the repair path around the envelope.
Dvele Service in Keller: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most out-of-town Dvele service providers miss. A Dvele home in Keller sits on a monolithic slab poured over expansive clay, and the city’s original cast-iron under-slab plumbing, installed throughout the 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods, is actively corroding from that clay movement. Cast iron doesn’t flex. When the soil shifts season after season, the pipes crack, and the leaks run under your slab. In a regular Keller tract house, a plumber cuts the floor, fixes the pipe, and patches the concrete. In a Dvele, that cut is a hole in the home’s continuous air barrier, and Dvele’s whole energy performance and indoor-air quality story hangs on that barrier staying intact. So the repair can’t be a brute-force operation. We have to map the leak, plan the re-pipe route, and execute the work without puncturing the envelope. That’s the job, and it’s why we don’t treat a Dvele in Keller the way we’d treat one in, say, Fort Worth’s sandy loam. The soil under your neighborhood is the variable that changes everything.
Dvele Models & Products We Service in Keller
We service the full Dvele lineup: the IQ 01, IQ 02, Sanctuary Series, and Signature Series. Each model has its own envelope details and systems layout, and we know where they fail and how to fix them. For safety-critical and performance-critical parts, we use genuine Dvele-specified components: envelope tapes, ERV cores, Fenix panels, and the control hardware. For non-critical finishes like drywall, trim, and tile, we source proven local materials that match Dvele’s dimensions and tolerances, so the repair doesn’t look like a patch job. We repair when the failure is isolated, like a single flashing detail or a drifting sensor. We recommend full replacement when the failure is systemic, like a compromised air barrier or outdated control firmware. And we stock common Dvele-compatible components locally so your Keller service call doesn’t stall waiting on a shipment.

FAQs – Dvele Construction in Keller
We repair the air barrier by re-taping and re-sealing the plate-to-foundation joints with Dvele-specified envelope materials, then verify the seal with a blower-door test so you know the home’s tightness is restored, not just patched. Foundation work moves the slab; the envelope repair has to follow every new gap. Call (682) 841-6652 for an assessment.
Fenix panels are a Dvele-specified material, so we order them through the proper channel to match the factory finish and dimensions. Non-critical finishes like painted drywall or standard tile can be sourced locally, but when it comes to Fenix, we don’t substitute.
High humidity alarms on a Dvele IQ 02 in Keller usually trace back to the ERV condensate drain backing up from hard-water scale, or a sensor drifting in the attic heat and misreading conditions. Both are fixable, and we address them without cutting into the envelope.
Yes. Post-storm connection loss is typically a firmware reset, a damaged outdoor antenna, or a sensor that got knocked offline by a power surge. We diagnose and repair the control system on site, and we can harden the install against the next storm season. Call (682) 841-6652 and we’ll get a tech out.
We repair the roof at the point of failure, re-flash the penetration, and verify the underlayment and insulation are intact before closing up. A Dvele roof is part of the thermal envelope, so the repair has to respect the layering. Our roof repairs on Dvele homes run $400 to $1,800 depending on the damage.
