Report
I would not recommend ECI Custom Homes. The overall experience of building a custom home is unpleasant with ECI Custom Homes. Initially, we felt like the builder (Doug Muhle) is a great person to work with but that is just the sales side of Doug Muhle. If you go with ECI Custom homes, be sure to have an attorney review the contract. Expect the actual cost of the home to be 10-20% higher than any estimate he initially gives. When it comes time to sign the contract, we were not given time to review the contract ahead of time even after asking to see the contract before signing. Also, do not assume

Report
We ordered a custom home to be built through ECI custom homes. Doug explained the structure to us thoroughly and helped make the process easy. He always was fair during construction and delivered on our dream home. We didn't always agree on every detail but we recognized his honesty and he never cut corners, or let us down on the remedies. He also has a great eye for design and will make your dreams a reality. We would highly recommend Doug and the ECI Team.
Sincerely,
Walter Smith

ECI Custom Homes built me a beautiful custom home back in October. Doug and his employees were very patient with me while picking out choices and changing my mind a few times, their building process went smooth the entire time and I always got responses back quickly when I had questions I would recommend this builder to anyone I am very happy with how my home turned out and wouldnt have changed anything.
