Report
We have tried getting a quote from MPCustom Homes and while other builders were more than happy to provide us with a quote, its been very difficult to get information from them. It is my understanding that they are a bit overwhelmed at the moment and are victim of their own success. I would recommend speaking to other builders as they seem more able to handle the number of people wanting to build houses. We visited the model home and thought the quality was nice and if you do choose to go with MPcustom homes ,you may have to be prepared to wait quite a while to get things moving. But if you do
