About Us

My dad, Don Darling, is a third-generation carpenter and homebuilder. He began working as a master carpenter in Northeastern Ohio in 1975 and he launched his own company in 1979. My mom and dad fell in love with the Colorado Rockies and in 1993, they moved our family to Estes Park.

Dad continued building in Estes Park by completing his first custom home here in 1994. As a teenager in Estes Park, I always remember the long hours and hard work dad put into the business. He did, however, always make time on the weekends for my sisters and me that typically lead to time spent in the great outdoors.

Dad’s hard work paid off. Darling Enterprise quickly earned a reputation in the Estes Valley for building premium quality homes featuring innovative energy-efficient design, stunning kitchens and baths, and expert craftsmanship. Dad always prided himself in building not just beautiful homes, but beautiful homes that met the needs and expectations of his clients.

Over the years, Darling Enterprise expanded and diversified. Today we’re a top-flight general contractor that also handles commercial design, construction, and renovation, as well as home remodeling and additions. Many of the new homes we build today are in the prestigious Windcliff Estates area of Estes Park.

The Design-Build approach we employ at Darling Enterprise serves both residential and commercial clients well. Design-Build means that as the general contractor, Darling Enterprise is the single point of contact responsible and accountable for getting the job done right. Should a problem arise, there’s never finger-pointing; we just fix the problem.

At Darling Enterprise, we focus on quality, customer communication, and customer satisfaction. From the beginning, we’ve always ensured that every project is completed to specification with superb workmanship. Dad and I personally visit job sites on a regular basis as part of the quality control process.
