In the heart of Topeka’s custom home building industry, the story of Zack Gallegos and his wife Nichol unfolds as a narrative of dedication and the pursuit of excellence. Their journey with Drippé Homes spans over two decades and not only reflects a profound professional commitment, but also mirrors the company's mission to create enduring spaces that transform from mere houses to becoming cherished homes.
The Genesis of the Gallegos Duo at Drippé Homes
Nichol has been an instrumental force at Drippé Homes for 15 years. Her knowledge and expertise are stamped across the business's day-to-day operations, where she is the architect of the company’s operating system. Nichol seamlessly handles critical functions such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and the closing of home sales. Her multifaceted role has been pivotal in maintaining the company's operational efficiency.
Zack Gallegos, with over 13 years of experience owning and operating a masonry company, brought a wealth of construction knowledge when he joined Drippé Homes eight years ago. Zack's initial role was as an exclusive Project Manager, overseeing operations in the Lawrence and Topeka markets. Four years later, he ascended to the role of Sales Manager.
“My current duties consist of me helping to educate buyers on construction methods and walking them through the rigors of costs and contracts, building not only their dream home, but our relationship before, during and post construction,” Zack explains.
Drippé Homes: Redefining Excellence in Custom Home Building
Zack and Nichol are part of a team that sets Drippé Homes apart in the local custom home building industry.
As Zack proudly asserts, "Our team includes experienced professionals with exceptional skill and outstanding character. Strong homes and a strong team are the cornerstone our impeccable reputation is built on.”
Drippé Homes prides itself on offering both spec homes and custom builds, emphasizing the goal of delivering homes that withstand the test of time. The company stands out for its integrity, expertise, and exceptional customer service, becoming a beacon for homeowners seeking a seamless and enjoyable home-building experience.
“Our team is dedicated to providing the quality and expertise that home buyers have come to expect,” Zack says.
The client experience at Drippé Homes is carefully curated. From design selections and plan drafting to cost analysis and turn-key finishing, Drippé Homes ensures that the building process is not just efficient but also stress-free for their clients.
The company's mission revolves around luxury as the standard—quality builds done right and on time. With more than 50 years of collective experience, Drippé Homes specializes in crafting homes that cater to the unique needs and dreams of their clients. Their overarching objective is simple yet profound: to make dreams come true, establishing themselves as the premiere home builder in Kansas and Missouri.
A Commitment to Clients and Community
One remarkable aspect that underscores Drippé Homes' commitment to its mission and purpose is their steadfast approach to pricing. Despite industry-wide adjustments due to external factors when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and drove prices up in nearly every industry, Drippé Homes did not raise prices for customers under contract.
Zack explains, "Drippé is one of a select number of builders who offer guaranteed contracts, and we honor those contracts."
That commitment gives home builders a sense of reliability and peace of mind while aligning with the company's mission to provide quality builds with integrity.
Beyond their daily operations, Drippé Homes engages with the local community in meaningful ways. This will be Drippé’s seventh year as the builder for the annual Topeka St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway.
Zack says the team is excited to continue to provide this work in support of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
"It is truly an honor to support St. Jude in their mission of Finding Cures. Saving Children. And helping the local community.”
The Gallegos’ working relationship with Drippé Homes is a narrative of dedication, expertise, and a shared commitment to crafting not just houses, but homes that stand as timeless testaments to quality and dreams fulfilled.
