We are purchasing a new home from Mungo homes. Mr. Brown worked for Mungo homes in the past so he knows this builder really well which helped to facilitate a very thorough inspection.

My short list of builders who made the cut ended up being Mungo's build on your lot division (which shut down before we made our builder decision and started up again some time later), Schumaker Homes and AHP. In the end AHP won out as I could find no complaints on the local BBB or various Internet sites. At that point in time, Angie's List had no reviews of AHP.
AHP made significant changes to a stock home plan they had per our desires and within our budget. They did a fine job of anticipating our needs in the design phase. We found them relatively easy to work with in the beginning and AHP was initially responsive to our needs. They completed the building within budget and we have a beautiful home- inside and outside. Building a new home is not for the faint of heart as there are many decisions that need to be made before and during the process, along with potential problems to deal with. I feel we excelled at these items, did an excellent job supporting the builder, the builder never had to wait on us for any reason and they knew what our expectations where.
The not so good: I was in the construction trade years ago. Building a home encompasses many trades, personnel, potential problems with the weather and building lot, along with potential supply problems outside of most local control. Plus the owners need to do their part to ensure their responsibilities are taken care of in a timely manner to keep things moving along smoothly. I get it. Been there, done that.
However I see no excuse for us having multiple roofing problems with water leaks, along with water supply line and electrical problems after we have moved in- especially since most of these issues were identified well before we took possession. Most of the issues identified by us were mentioned more than once to the builder previously and we thought they had all been addressed when we took possession and during that inspection. But there is nothing like living in a new home for a few months to identify problems. AHP became slow to respond to our needs and repairing significant items in the warranty period. I have to continually follow up with the builder to try and keep the process moving.
I am hopeful all of the issues will be ironed out in the near future but am unsure of this result.

Russell did an excellent job inspecting my new build home. He found a lot of things I would never have thought to look for. He even came back out to recheck after the check list was completed by the builders. I highly recommend!

We trusted this company for several months with several maintenance issues. Overall, there was poor communication and several employees left us "hanging" on more than one occasion. We were disappointed and felt that we did NOT get our money's worth for service and maintenance. Since the pool...

Mr. Brown arrived on time. He was very instructive to me about the house. He was very comprehensive. The report with pictures arrived as promised by email on the next day with 28 items for the builder to address before the closing data - some medium sized items and some smaller items. We...

"After a year of renovations to our new home, benefitting from work with wonderful professionals, this is one who needs to be exposed to the community. This contractor took a substantial payment to remove an inner wall that needed a beam to be installed in the ceiling for support. His employee removed the wall and finished the work without installing the beam. This employee was emotionally unstable, threatening us when we communicated poor quality of work back to Jim. Needless to say, our ceiling is sagging and cracking. We made him aware of this August, 2023, and he promised to fix it repeatedly with a final deadline of January 15th. No word from him since early December. We have paid out of pocket for an engineer and repair to begin today with another contractor. This man not only left us in a truly dangerous situation, but he is emotionally unstable and put us through a rollercoaster of excuses, manipulation, and nasty texts. His license has been suspended and he has many previously logged complaints with the licensing board. BEWARE OF ANY PROPOSALS FOR WORK FROM JIM TOKUNAGA, or his business fronts, B&T ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, ADVANCED BUILDING & CONSTRUCTING LLC, and various other “businesses.”"

Home Building questions, answered by experts
Options include traditional mortgages, construction loans, and personal loans. Consult lenders specializing in modular home financing.
Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.
Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.
The average guest house is between 600 and 1,500 square feet. If you are unsure of how large you should build it, a good basic rule is to have one bedroom for every two occupants, at minimum. Generally, one bedroom for every one to two people is a good ratio.
