He is very attentive to detail. He is great at design and has a great vision. Anything we wanted changed he was quick with and willing to add advice when we wanted it. We love our plan and would use him again anytime. > > He was very fair on price as well. Also he was flexible with meeting times with my husband who works late. **★★★★★ — PARAMOUNT HOMES INC, Jan. 2016** > As a builder of custom homes, I was seeking new and visionary designs that allowed for open floorplans and economical design for compact lots. Mike McMillan has the created a fine array of plans with unique elevations and roof lines. **★★★★★ — paglass, Jan. 2016** > Mike was so easy to work with! We started with a plan he had drafted for another family and tweaked it substantially to suit our needs. He was very open to our changes and suggestions and great at coming up with solutions when we ran into issues. He and our builder, C. R Spainhour, clearly worked brilliantly together and assisted us through the design process with the utmost patience. > Thanks to Mike and Reeves we are now building the house we've dreamed of for 10 years! ## Selected projects - [213 Prides Crossing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/213-prides-crossing-pj-vj~2731444) - Location: Rolesville, NC - Photos: 17 - Description: 213 Prides Crossing is a warm and inviting home in Carlton Pointe a rapidly growing neighborhood that is conveniently located in the town of Rolesville and Wake Forest.
