What Our Clients Think

"We couldn't be happier with MDH! They have been fantastic from the start and going through the entire build process. They have made building our dream home very easy and not stressful at all. Their attention to detail and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Their staff is very friendly and very easy to work with."

Mike H.
Custom Home

"We loved buying our home with MDH so much that we hired them to finish our basement. We purchased one of their spec homes after construction and were impressed by the design—my wife loved it as is. Chris, our Project Manager for closing, made the process smooth. Later, Danny managed our basement project, which was completed quickly, professionally, and stress-free. We highly recommend MDH for high-quality new homes, and for more customized builds, their Jon Huss Custom Homes division."

Jon J.
Custom Home

"We bought our house (turnkey) in April 2023. We couldn't be more happy with it. We didn't have to pick anything out which made it really easy. We just had to add our own decorative touches. Love the storage in the walk in pantry!"

Steve V.
Custom Home

"I had the best experience working with Liz. She was able to meet with me around my schedule, answered my questions in a timely manner and was just a wonderful person in general. Even though I ended up going a different route for now, Midwest Design Homes will have my business in the future!"
