Mark Johnson Custom Homes Blog

“The quality of the workmanship was excellent. He was a contractor that took the time to listen, to work with you, to find a solution, and his experience gave us the opportunity to make changes while staying within our budget.”

Gary and Sharon Cram

“We had a totally positive building experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes during all phases of building our new home.  Working with a builder when you are living out of state requires frequent and clear communication and a high level of trust, and MJCH more than met our expectations in those areas.  There were no surprises at any time from start to finish, and if any problem came up, Mark was on top of the situation and taking steps to solve the problem at the same time he was notifying us of the matter.  We really never worried about anything because we knew our home was in good hands at all times. After we moved in, MJCH proactively checked on any items he or we felt needed improvement and made sure we were completely satisfied.  We love our new home and are very happy with the quality of its construction, the appearance inside and out, and details of the finishes.  We highly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes.  He and his team are incredibly pleasant to work with as well as very professional.”

Mark and Cindy Humphreville

“All our expectations were met. We really enjoyed working with Mark and his team. When we were there on site, the subs that we met were very nice and accommodating. The construction schedule was very helpful, we were able to plan our visits based on this schedule. This is a helpful tool for out of town customers such as us. We also enjoyed and appreciated the pictures. Since we could not be there often, the pictures were a means of watching the progress. If we were to build another home in the Wilmington area we would use MJCH. We would not hesitate recommending MJCH to anyone interested in building a new home. It was a long road from our initial discussions years ago to finishing our new home. We never considered another builder because we felt very comfortable and trusted Mark. We also appreciated his prompt follow up on issues after completion. Thanks for a job well done.”

Dan and Stephanie Verdelli

“Our experience with MJCH was first rate from start to finish. MJCH was hands-on with great attention to detail and costs from the initial planning stage through completion. They worked within our budget to provide us with everything we wanted in our new home and more. We experienced none of the horror stories you sometimes hear about constructing a home, and in fact, could not have asked for a better experience.”

Michael and Jeana Gandee

“We would highly recommend MJCH. We have worked with Mark and his staff both in home construction and remodeling and have been extremely satisfied. They have outstanding communication and transparency in budget and accountability.”

Bill and Lilliam Kingsbury

“I would indeed recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes, I already have. My design, worked out with the architect, required some imagination and attention to detail, especially in regards to building codes. The job was completed exactly as I wished and required considerable ingenuity.”

Virginia Baker

“Mark Johnson Custom Homes did a beautiful job building our dream home. Mark is an enthusiastic builder who is professional and accessible. He has a wonderful roster of sub-contractors that value his business and do a great job for his customers. Most importantly, Mark will do whatever it takes to make sure his customers are happy with their new home.”

Steve and Susan Crumrine

“We regularly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes. It all comes down to three things – good, economical, and fast. Usually customers can get one or two of these things, but definitely not all three. With MJCH we were able to get excellent quality at the right price and in a timeline that we agreed to up front. We would say that the quality, attention to detail and professionalism was over and above expectations, so this was fantastic.”

Alan and Cynthia Neveu

“Mark Johnson and his team have worked diligently with us to ensure that our vision of our home would become a reality. His organization, attention to detail, and willingness to address our architectural and design modifications in a supportive manner has made our building process a rewarding experience.”

Rich and Sharon Novak

“Mark’s excellent level of attention to detail and quick response to any and all concerns speaks to his knowledge, integrity, honesty and character. “

Mr. James Nathan Bono, Mrs. Toni Caiola-Bono

“This is our third home we have built since moving to North Carolina ten years ago.  It was the first home that was completed ahead of schedule.  Mark built our home with a minimum amount of fuss and with a quiet efficiency that made us the envy of all our friends.  We would have him build another home for us tomorrow.”

Mark A. Lizak, M.D., Laura Lee Lizak, J.D.

“If keeping homeowners happy is a standard, Mark has excelled.  He has been on the scene and very willing to listen and come up with workable ideas and good advice. He has been fair minded and friendly.”

Jane Barry

“We have built seven houses in our married life both in Canada and the U.S.A. Mark Johnson Custom Homes did the best job by far of planning, constructing and follow-up upon completion than any other builder we previously used. We recommend them unconditionally to anyone who wants a custom home.”

Ted and Helen Hughes

“Mark Johnson was great to work with.  He repeatedly met with us, solved problems, answered questions, gave quotes and not once seemed to resent our modifications.”

Wray and Signa Stalvey

“Mark Johnson is a hands-on, on-site builder who takes the time to ensure that little details, as well as major construction items, are completed with customer satisfaction in mind.  With his management skills and easy personality, he made our home building process a pleasure.”

Peggy Hawkins

“We were building our home from long distance, and it was difficult for us to be there often. It made not one bit of difference. Mark returned our phone calls and kept us abreast with e-mail and digital photos.”

Seymour and Eileen Shaw

“The Client Progress Portal on Mark Johnson Custom Homes’ website was extremely valuable in the construction of our home.  Residing in Ohio and not being able to travel to Wilmington frequently, the website enabled us to see the continual progression of the house.  Mark Johnson Custom Homes’ investment in the Client Progress Portal made the construction process a very enjoyable experience.”

Dr. and Mrs. Richard Mahfood

“My husband and I have built 4 homes from Ohio to Florida, and in all that time, we have never received such professional and detailed service as we received with Mark Johnson Custom Homes.  Our experience with them far exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again – whether for a remodeling job or in building a new home”

Carl and Betsy Alderman

“Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with our new home. We want to personally thank you, Kevin and Eddie for all the dedication and attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with all of you. We will continue to advertise for you by word of mouth whenever we have the opportunity. Several of our friends have commented on the website and thought that was a great idea. I have also told everyone what a great help Eddie was in making [design] selections. He is definitely an asset to your team.”

Mark and Carol Ordess

“We would highly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes to anyone. MJCH builds a high quality home at an extremely reasonable price with many quality features built into the home that you would not find offered as a standard option by any other builder. MJCH stands behind their work during and after the construction has been completed. The most important thing we found outstanding was the integrity of the organization and that of Mark Johnson, they stand behind their word and the finished product we call HOME.”

Steven and Elaine Ashton

“Mark Johnson held excellent references in not only the business arena but as a person. I was stunned by his quick response. He helped us get exactly what we wanted and make it work financially. Mark Johnson played an active role in the day-to-day grind. The support staff also stepped out of their typical roles to ensure timely completion of tasks.”

David and Kelly Wallace

“Beverly and I have enjoyed the total process from design, estimating, construction, (Mark was very receptive to changes made during the construction) and the punch-list process. We have shared this testimonial with our friends and prospective home building clients. Again, we were very pleased with Mark Johnson Custom Homes on this project.”

Jim and Beverly Edens

“Mark and his organization have always been supremely helpful. They are always eager to go the extra mile to answer questions and handle situations on a timely basis. We would strongly recommend them for any building project because of their attention to detail and their conscientious style of communication which is very important in the building process.”

Stu and Stevie Stewart

“As first time home builders we were very apprehensive, especially as we were six hours away and still working in Northern Virginia. Mark Johnson and his crew made everything go so smoothly. We could relax and watch the house grow through the wonderful Client Portal on his website. We have a beautiful Energy Star home with very little maintenance needed. We are so happy we chose Mark Johnson Custom Homes.”
