Scott and the entire team were so detail-oriented and walked us through the entire year-long project. They paid special attention to what our desires and needs were; in fact, they brought up points we would not have thought of on our own.Read Full Review

My husband and I had such a great experience with Scott, Elizabeth and their team! The quality of our home truly is superior and have run into zero issues over the last two years. Their goal is to absolutely keep your house on budget which I was really impressed by. Elizabeth’s guidance during the selection process also made my life much much easier. If we have the opportunity to build again, we will definitely be reaching out to this amazing team!

Our experience left a lot to be desired. They build beautiful "looking" homes but detail work isn't there. We're very happy with the outside look/flow of our house because we did spend a lot of time on it. Even during the warranty year, any issues we had wouldn't really get fixed. They basically perform at 80% and expect you to be fine with it. If you're not, then you're being unreasonable. We didn't get our punch list completed. You hear excuses on par with "The dog ate my homework". It's hard to write a bad review for your own house but that's where we are.

The quality of their workmanship is exceptional, and our new home is a testament to their expertise and craftsmanship.

Where do I begin....?! MHouse made the house building process a complete DREAM. From the moment we toured the neighborhood with Scott, we knew we had found the right team. Scott was incredibly communicative and kind. The front desk staff very responsive, and always answered my regular calls and questions with a smile on their face. The design team was INCREDIBLE. They all had such classy ideas, attention to detail, and were SO patient with us during every step. The team stepped us through everything, making the process very manageable and fun! We are so happy with the high quality & BEAUTIFUL build that MHouse created for us. We can't recommend them enough!

From start to finish, we couldn't be happier with our decision to build with M House. Scott, Elizabeth, and their team went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy during each stage of our project. They were patient with our requests, fair with their pricing, and worked hard to keep our build on schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend M House for your custom build.

We had the pleasure of working with the entire M House team to design and build our dream home at The Lakelands Club in Plainfield. Throughout the entire process, every team member shared their expertise and ideas to make our M House perfect for our specific family needs. The process to build with M House was seamless, and we enjoyed each part of the build from the original plans to all the design details such as lighting, cabinetry, paint colors, flooring, etc. We are now very proud owners of our own M House! If anyone is looking a competent team to help you make decisions on building your dream home with patience, pride, and enthusiasm, M House is your builder. Anyone who builds with them will soon realize the wisdom in that decision!

I am very late on my review, but as it turns out this is a perfect time for feedback. We just hit our three year anniversary in our custom M House home and are still in love with how everything turned out! The vendors and trades that M House chose for our construction were all awesome and time has shown that the quality of their work has held up. Any of the minor adjustments we needed were always addressed quickly and professionally. I cannot express enough how great it was to work with M House from the beginning. Scott and Elizabeth are a wonderful team - honest, organized, creative, and easy to get along with. Building a house can be stressful at times, especially when your vision doesn't always align with your budget haha! M House will always find a way to make things beautiful and functional for you. 10/10 would recommend!

We purchased an M House home that was finished in 2019. The design is beautiful, but the quality of the work under the design is not. The bathrooms in particular (grouting, sealing, etc.) are very poorly done and we’ve had major leak issues. Lots of corners cut (cabinets built around plumbing so you can’t repair pipes without ripping out cabinet, improperly measuring fit of tub so knocked out tile instead of fixing properly - more water issues), etc. We love the beauty of the home but functionally it’s a project house because it was so poorly finished.

It is always a pleasure and treat to work with the MHouse team! We have done many custom metal hood projects together and always look forward to their next new and challenging design. The communication is flawless and the team is easy to work with. To many future projects together!

I have been the Client Service Specialist for M House for over 5 years, and I must say they are 110% committed to their customers needs. They have a great understanding of the overall goal and vision for each individually home. Everyone I work with in the office and in the field are extremely friendly and genuine. I wish them many more years of success and satisfied customers.

We just finished our custom home with M House in the summer of 2020. We knew the quality and craftsmanship of their work so when we decided to undertake our own project, there was no reason to look elsewhere. Scott, Elizabeth and the rest of the team have created a unique process whereby you have access to experienced professionals at each phase of the build. This provides you with clear expectations of next steps as well as support to make your decisions. We truly enjoyed each phase from architectural planning to final design details. Once our home was completed, we were fortunate enough to continue our relationship with M House's design team. They were able to help furnish many of the main areas of our house in the coveted M House style. We absolutely love our home and are so happy with our decision to partner with them!

We are thrilled to have our new home built by M House! Scott and the entire team were so detail-oriented and walked us through the entire year-long project. They paid special attention to what our desires and needs were; in fact, they brought up points we would not have thought of on our own. The entire team was efficient, professional, and also fun! We would highly recommend M House Development to build your dream home.

We chose M House to build our first custom home in Naperville, and we truly had an exceptional experience. While building a home can be overwhelming, their process is well thought out and organized, and they guide you every step of the way. From the architectural design phase to the finishing touches, M House exceeded our expectations. Their design team brings so many unique and beautiful ideas, while also incorporating all of your "wants" to make your home exactly as you dreamed it would be. It is a truly collaborative process, and we enjoyed every minute of it - Scott, Elizabeth and their entire team were a pleasure to work with, and we would do it all over again!

From picking out our lot to selecting light fixtures, the team did an incredible job being involved in the planning and execution of our dream home. The ability to work with one team throughout the process resulted in the exterior, floor plan, design, and aesthetic that we expected. We know that is not the case with all other builders and appreciate the involvement of Scott, Elizabeth, John, Kate and Lindsay from start to finish.

My wife and I worked with the M House team from the very beginning of the design process until every finishing touch was completed as we built our new home! They made it simple and easy for people with a busy lifestyle. The hassles I’ve heard from others that have gone through the building process did NOT exist. We are so happy with our decision to go with the M house team. Thanks Scott, Elizabeth, Lindsay, Kate, and John!!!

We worked with M House in building our custom home, all the way from designing the home with the architect to building, to picking all the finishes. It was a long, long process but I couldn’t be happier with the finished house! It was everything we hoped for and more. If I were to ever build again I would definitely use M House and will recommend them to others!

Our experience with MHouse was absolutely amazing. Scott, Elizabeth and their entire team worked tirelessly to make the custom home building process FUN not stressful or one bit overwhelming. They are just as invested in your home as you are. From day one in architecture to the final punch-list they are engaged, thoughtful, creative, with a killer design eye that produces a home of your dreams. Their guidance throughout the process was key to the success and their contractors were of the utmost quality and craftsmanship. My husband and I could not be happier to have gone with MHouse as our build team!!!

We hired M House Development to build our dream home. The project from design to completion took almost a year. From the design and to the finishing touches, Scott, Elizabeth and their team were wonderful to work with. Scott took my ideas and vision in the layout of the home and made them a reality. The floorpan is perfect and there is nothing I would change. As we moved through the process, it was a pleasure working with Elizabeth on the details of every room to ensure we achieved the look and feel I was going for. She has a great eye for details and gave many important suggestions. John and Lindsey were also wonderful to deal with and always available if we had questions. We are now living in the most beautiful home we have every built (this is the 4th home we built). The quality and level of craftsman ship has surpassed our expectations. M House definitely builds a high end, top quality home!

Working with M House was hands down the best business experience I have ever had. M House exceeded my expectations ten fold. Their attention to both personal preference and site knowledge is second to none. If building a custom home believe me you need not look further. This fine home builder is the pro you are looking for!
