FIVE STARS!!! We could not have worked with a more professional, courteous, friendly, and trustworthy company to build our dream home. Each and every staff member made us feel like we were Monarchs only client. From the beginning, Monarch quickly understood what we wanted in our new home. They often made suggestions that would make our living experience even better, yet also kept in mind our budget. For the vast majority of the build we lived out of state. When unexpected issues came up, as they will from time to time during construction, Monarch always timely advised us of such and clearly

Building a house was a joy with Shawn and Joel. Our supervisor Eric was responsive, knowledgable, caring and timely. The subs were professional & skilled. If we were to build again we would work with Monarch. It is easy to recommend Monarch to future homebuilders. I love the unique features of our home.

From start to finish, our home building experience with Monarch was first rate. We can't say enough about the overwhelmingly positive and professional experience we had. The people at Monarch were very knowledgeable and beyond helpful, as were all of the subcontractors we worked with. We are thrilled with our home and would highly recommend Monarch Custom Homes!

We first tried to build our dream home with Monarch about 5 years ago however the market didn't allow for us to sell our current home. Fortunately recently the market changed and we were FINALLY able to build with Monarch. Our dream home is now a reality! Not only is our home exactly what we envisioned but the entire process was flawless. Shawn, Joel and their office manager Vanessa were compete professionals and came in above expectations and finished early. Now we live in a home we never thought could be reality for us. Thank you!

The home Monarch recently constructed for us exceeded our expectations. Our home is extremely well-built and everyone that works for Monarch is skilled, friendly, professional, and helpful. They offered great suggestions along the way and we greatly valued their professional input. The subcontractors that Monarch works with were excellent as well. I hope this is my forever home, but if I build again I would be happy to work with Monarch. If you choose them as a builder, I guarantee you will be very pleased with the finished product.
