Mark completed the building of our home in 2011, yet amazingly continues to immediately respond to any and all questions or problems that may arise with the maintenance of our home. Last week, while on vacation out of town, we called Mark about an issue with our hot water heater. Being concerned about the potential of a fire, Mark voluntarily went to our home and turned off the power/gas to the heater. This is but one example of the many times that Mark has been there for us over the past 10 years since completion of our home. Most memorable for us, is Mark responding to all of his former client

We had a phenomenal experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes! We bought our house while under construction and could not be happier with our new home! Mark and the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure we were completely happy with every detail. We have been in our house a little over two years and can say we love our house even more now than when we moved in. A huge thank you to MJCH for exceeding our expectations!

Mark Johnson built a house for a client of mine that was completed this year. I was very impressed with their communications, planning, processes, and they way they worked with the client every step of the way to meet their individual needs. Weekly updates highlighting progress in visual and written form and also by vendor was truly impressive. I work with a lot of builders as a real estate professional and this exceeded my expectations, and did for my client as well. Most importantly, they are nice, genuine, super hard working people that they realize they are managing a major investment and fulfilling

We met Mark and Meredith a few years ago as we started putting together a team to help build our dream home. We ended up selecting them as our contractor before we even selected an architect because we felt so strongly that they would be a good fit for us. Boy, were we right! MJCH did a tremendous job with every aspect of the project and allowed us to build a home while living 600 miles away with less stress than we ever thought possible. Through hurricanes and COVID they never missed a beat. Mark and Meredith have a team of people who are professional and also super nice. (Ryan, Todd and Katelyn

We recently moved to the Wilmington area from out of state and were looking for a competent and honest contractor to complete a major renovation to our newly purchased residence. We knew that our home had good bones but was tired and needed a complete update. Mark Johnson Custom Homes (MJCH) was recommended to us by several of our neighbors who had either used Mark and Merediths services, or were familiar with their work. Our next-door neighbor had recently completed a major renovation with MJCH and the result was stunning. Doing our due diligence, we obtained several estimates from
