"I hired Mark Johnson Custom Homes to do the remodeling of a home I purchased that needed much updating. For most of the process I was not even in town, so it was important for me to work with someone with good communication skills. Mark exceeded my expectations. The quality of the work was excellent, his willingness to listen to my thoughts was amazing, and all of the work was completed in a timely fashion. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend MJCH to anyone."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Mark Johnson Custom Homes from start to finish! The best part was their frequent and clear communication during the process. We felt very informed. They cared about us and helped us create something beautiful! We would work with them again!"

"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 quiet efficiency that made us the envy of all our friends.  We would have him build another home for us tomorrow."

"We purchased a house that required a full kitchen remodel, structural work to remove walls and cosmetic work in almost every room. We interviewed several contractors and found Mark Johnson Custom Homes' pricing process to be the most transparent. Communicating with their staff was effortless. We have since recommended them for several other remodeling jobs to other brokers and clients."

"We are happy to be able to say that our home building experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes was a very positive one and we are delighted with the results! Their employees and vendors are very capable and professional and we feel the quality of our new home is excellent. The processes that they have in place and the pre-planning done on the front end allowed us time to focus on other things. Thank you for a beautiful home."

"We have been in our home for nine years now and it still feels fresh and new to us. The floor plan suits our family lifestyle perfectly. After all these years, we know that if we call Mark Johnson Custom Homes they will do whatever they can to solve a problem or guide us to a solution. We would expect that for the first year or two of ownership, but to know that after nine years we can still expect that kind of service is amazing and comforting."

"Mark Johnson Custom Homes renovated our stucco/concrete home. Throughout the entire renovation process, they provided us with such a high level of professionalism. They performed outstanding improvements to our home, exceeding our expectations while meeting our budget and they kept us informed daily throughout the entire renovation progress. Thank you for making our dream home come true."

"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 they 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, they 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."

"After building seven homes in various states there was no comparison. Mark Johnson Custom Homes provided the best construction experience resulting in a home of exceptional quality and detail. They not only provided a construction schedule but they kept to it. Even after we moved in, the staff continued to follow up to make sure everything was perfect. Their knowledge, constant communication, attention to detail, and a genuine pride in their work are the qualities that set them apart from the rest. We truly benefited from choosing Mark Johnson Custom Homes and they completely earned our trust."

"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. 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. They all did a great job of communicating with us throughout the project by supplying us with daily updates and weekly photos. They were very responsive to any of our questions. They exceeded our expectations with their attention to detail and superior craftsmanship. They have access to the best trade partners in the area due to their reputation as being a top-notch builder."

"We waited three years to remodel our master bathroom and debated using a general contractor or piecing the project together ourselves. Using Mark Johnson as the general contractor was the best decision we made. His insight and experience guided us around multiple mistakes we would have made on our own, and his logistics and response times kept our project on track. He made suggestions that improved the end result, while keeping with the design we had envisioned. We’ll use Mark and his team for all remodeling and building projects in the future."

"Mark Johnson Custom Homes sets the bar in customer service, attention to detail and delivery of a quality product. From start to finish, Mark and his team exceeded our expectations. We've built a custom home before and the process used by Mark Johnson Custom Homes was extraordinary! The design team was masterful, advising us on the best choices that fit our style, while keeping an eye on our budget. Throughout the build process our home was photographed and project plans were documented and available via email and the Internet. Their team communicated regularly and responded promptly with great care."

"We are very pleased with the house that Mark Johnson Custom Homes built for us. We feel the quality of the construction is high. The project management was very well done and transparent, with weekly updates sent to us by e-mail. This was particularly important for us since we were located in New Jersey and were only able to make trips to Wilmington periodically. With respect to interior design, the design team was outstanding. They were extremely valuable in making selections that met our desires and that fell within the allocated budget. They were especially helpful in making selections when we needed to go above the allocation to satisfy our likes. We are very happy with Mark's continued follow-up to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction."

"We simply could not have had a better experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes. From helping us assess which lot to buy, ensuring our kitchen and master bath were perfectly designed and going above and beyond after we moved in, the team was tremendous. The whole process was timely, on budget and transparent."

"We are highly satisfied with the renovation Mark Johnson Custom Homes performed for us. The quality of work was exceptional, but what was most impressive about the effort was the friendliness and cooperative spirit we experienced with everyone associated with the effort. We are very pleased with the renovation, and appreciate the positive, professional and friendly attitude of the Mark Johnson Custom Homes staff."

"In the past twenty five years I have had five custom homes built in three different states. Four of the five projects were outstanding building experiences. My most recent building experience was one of the four and it was with Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Mark and his team are with you from the design stage through the certificate of occupancy delivery. It has now been thirty months since my move in and Mark and his team have been very responsive to any call for any type of service or consultation if needed. I would highly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes to anyone that is considering building a new home or the remodeling of an existing home."

"Working with the Mark Johnson Custom Homes team for our remodel was a very positive experience. Our project manager always kept us informed and up to date. They made an effort to keep our home clean nightly during the process as well. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to friends and will definitely reach out for future projects based on our experience. Thank you for a beautiful renovation!"

"Our kitchen remodel by Mark Johnson Custom Homes was a truly positive experience. From the very beginning until the end of the project, Mark performed his duties in a very professional manner. When we ran in to issues that needed to be resolved, the team proved to be fantastic problem solvers. We appreciated the clear lines of communication that we had throughout the project. We would certainly recommend this company as they were professional and very respectful to us as our lives continued in the home during our remodel. Thanks so much to Mark and all. We love our new kitchen!"

"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."

"Our experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes was first rate from start to finish. They were 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."

"We would highly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes. 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."

"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 Mark 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."

"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."

"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."

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

"My husband and I have built four 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 building a new home."

"If someone told me they were building a custom home halfway across the country, we'd think they were crazy. To build and not be on site to check on the daily activity, insane! Yet, that was exactly what we did - and would do it all over again, as long as Mark Johnson was our builder! Working with Mark and his team was an absolute delight. Their honesty, transparency, flexibility, and professionalism are beyond compare. They kept us informed of developments, unexpected challenges, and pleasant surprises (ex: our subdivision installing a fountain in the pond that overlooks our house.) If you want a quality home that is solidly built, we highly recommend Mark Johnson Custom Homes. You'll be delighted with the results!"

"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!"

"We have been working with Mark, Meredith and the rest of the members of their team for about three years, beginning with our search for the perfect lot in Landfall through the design and building of our home. We moved into our home in the middle of August 2017 and could not be happier with the quality of the construction and the incredible attention to detail that Mark and those on his team applied to the build out. Simply put, the MJCH team takes great pride in what they do!"

"Thank you so much for building our dream house. It was a pleasure working with you and your team. Everyone became like family! Even though we lived in another state, we looked forward to our daily updates and especially our Thursday pictures. You build a top rate house."

"My initial decision in selecting Mark Johnson Custom Homes as my builder was based on their competitive pricing and recommendations from realtors, architects, and future neighbors. I was living outside of North Carolina during the construction process and the normal anxieties of building a home were heightened by my distance from the project. Mark, and his team, did a wonderful job of communicating with me during the construction process and were proactive in updating building project plans, sharing progress photos, and responding to questions and change requests from me. Partnering with Mark Johnson Custom Homes to build my retirement dream home proved to be an excellent decision."

"Mark Johnson Custom Homes did a fantastic job on our pool and pool house. It has been featured in a few publications and that had a lot to do with the team at Mark Johnson Custom Homes and their attention to detail and creativity of design. We will use them again in the future when we need construction services. Our family is thrilled with our outdoor space and look forward to enjoying it for years to come."

"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."

"Mark Johnson Custom Homes executed a perfect renovation of our new home. Starting from the very first step, Mark - with very little advance notice- came over to meet us at a couple of houses we were considering buying. He walked through with us, noticing areas for improvement etc. When we finally closed on a house, which we thought we would only do a minor renovation on the master bath, Mark and his team guided us seamlessly through a long distance project that grew tremendously in scope. From design to budget to vendors to installation and finishing touches, every team member was responsive and forward thinking. Just an excellent experience all around!"

"I just cannot say enough about how professional, friendly, talented, personal, convenient, and easy it has been working with the MJ team. After failing multiple inspections from a prior builder, I hired the MJ team. Mark held my hand and guided me through the process starting with having to hire an engineer (a county requirement due to prior inspections that failed), to making all the corrections: footers, foundation, framing, and fire wall installations. He also brought in his HVAC team, electrical team, insulation team, handyman and maintenance teams to get the project complete. I am forever grateful for the MJ team's sincere dedication, guidance, suggestions and expertise! The MJ team will forever be my go-to for all projects small and large!"

"MJCH recently built our retirement home and we love it. It was our third experience building a custom home and it was by far the best! Daily communication and prompt answers to all of our questions made the process fun and pain free. His organization, reliability, and professionalism are qualities that set Mark and his team apart. His attention to detail and quality exceeded our expectations."

"My wife and I are extremely happy with the way our remodeling project was executed and love the final result. The Team was engaged from day one and the communication throughout all the phases of the project was excellent. It was a "two-way street" where everything was shared timely and with the proper detail. Ultimately, we believe this contributed to enhance the overall satisfaction with the process and not just the result."

"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 Meredith’s 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 highly recommended contractors working in the area. The cost estimates were similar, but the professionalism that Mark demonstrated during our initial meetings with him and his offer to include a designer to assist us with our selection decisions were the final selling points. We were not disappointed with our decision. Mark and Meredith use only the most competent tradesmen and employ project managers who are not only capable, but also communicative and extremely easy to work with. Any questions we had were answered promptly. Any requested changes or additions to our original plan were incorporated quickly and with either no or minimal increase in cost. We were very much included in all of the renovation stages from day #1. Mark originally estimated that our project would take approximately six months to complete; and six months almost to the day we were able to move back into our beautifully renovated home. We would like to add that this potentially overwhelming process was made far easier by the inclusion of the design service that MJCH employs. In conclusion, anyone who is interested in working with an extremely honest and competent company for a high-end renovation should seriously consider Mark Johnson Custom Homes in their selection process. We believe you will not be disappointed."

"After months of searching for a home to buy in Wilmington and not finding anything suitable, Dan and I contacted Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Knowing they would be traveling north to visit family, Mark and his wife/business partner, Meredith, offered to have our initial meeting in our home in Massachusetts...who does that?! That was the start of a beautiful relationship! The MJCH Team was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. Mark assisted with all phases of building and was always available to answer our many questions. Mark and Meredith effectively communicated details about the progress of construction including weekly updates with pictures. And our contract included the help of a professional interior designer, Eddie, who with Meredith, guided our selections for all the custom details inside our new house. And, maybe most importantly, everyone respected our wishes to stay within a budget and helped us do so. When finished we had a unique, high quality and energy efficient house that we love and now call home! Mark is an experienced builder who brings a lot of enthusiasm to his projects and an experienced crew that was a joy to work with. We highly recommend MJCH!"

"We have worked with several contractors over the years and by far the best we have ever dealt with is Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Mark and Meredith are both exceptional people. They are involved in the process each step of the way, whether it be for new construction or in our case, a major renovation. We found, in our dealings with Mark Johnson Custom Homes, a very honest and forthright culture throughout the organization. Each staff person was easy to work with and almost made the process fun. Anyone who has done a major renovation knows that it is rarely the case. MJCH turned a house with good bones into a showplace and we are thankful each day that we chose to work with Mark, Meredith and Mark Johnson Custom Homes."

"Our experiences with Mark and Meredith have been excellent throughout the planning, building and post completion phases of our beautiful home. We cannot say enough about their quality, courtesy and customer care abilities over the last 3 years. Over the top is the expression best suited to working with Mark Johnson Custom Homes."

"We had a very favorable experience with Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Living out of state, it was important for us to have a reliable and trustworthy builder which is why we selected them. Throughout initial planning, design, selection and construction, Mark and his team communicated regularly, were always available and took the time to answer questions or make recommendations. Their weekly updates and pictures of the various stages of construction were beneficial and helped us plan our on-site visits. Project management and resolution of problems during and after construction was exceptional."

"Even after six years in our beautiful home, if we ever have a question or situation that needs Mark's expertise, he is always just a phone call away and responds immediately.  His customer service is outstanding!"

"This was our first experience building a custom home and we couldn't have picked a better builder than Mark Johnson Custom Homes. They brought a level of solid building expertise and customer support we have never experienced in buying homes for over 45 years. Not only do we have a quality home but any issues during and following completion of our dream home were quickly and professionally handled by their team."

"Having overseen the construction of multiple buildings in the past, I was beyond satisfied at the quality of the work performed by the Mark Johnson Custom Homes team. The construction schedule was met, cost overruns were nearly non-existent, and the supervision of the subcontractors and trades was flawless. Having an interior designer on the team was a determining factor in my decision to hire this company, as the interior design work was fantastic. I have never been as completely satisfied with a construction project as I have been with the product of the Mark Johnson Custom Homes team."

"We had a great experience designing and building our home with Mark Johnson Custom Homes. Living in Pennsylvania while building a home in North Carolina presented many challenges, but their status reports and pictures ensured that we stayed on schedule and within budget. Their attention to detail and commitment to exceptional service and workmanship were evident in every phase of construction. We love our new home and are very pleased with the selections, craftsmanship and design."
