What Our Clients Say

"EZ Modern homes were great at communicating throughout the entire process of building my home. Any changes along the way by me were taken into account and adjusted accordingly without skipping a beat. Highly recommend EZ Modern Homes for your next building project, and I will not hesitate to use them again in the future."

Jeff McGlone

"These guys are easy to work with, very responsive to questions and can build your quality dream home. I’d highly recommend giving EZ Modern Homes a shot."

Steve Kerr

"Custom builders with great customer service before, during and after our build."

Patty Kerr

"We just closed on our home with Dennis from EZ Modern Homes, and if google would allow me to give them a 10, I would! The experience has been effortless and they have gone above and beyond to make this an enjoyable experience. They have expert attention to detail, even taking care of the small things before they are even mentioned, like noticing a build up of leaves in an area of the roof and placing a leaf filter without it ever being brought up. There were many instances where these gestures were made and it really showed their craftsmanship and interest in doing right by their potential buyer. I would highly recommend doing business with this company if you are in the market for new construction or a custom home!"

Amber Hall

"Dennis and John of EZ Modern Homes have been very responsive to my home issues as if I am included as a family member!"

Janice Quinn

"Great people to work with, nice, friendly, honest hard working type. I'd recommend you work with them also."

Tim Brown

"Great Company! They go above and beyond and do things many other builders don’t do kind of like the geotechnical soil sample. Which provides crucial information on compaction of soil and if you need to dig deeper. This simple step can help with foundation settling proper which helps with plumbing and alignment of doors etc which leads to less issues down the road. When builders don’t do this it leads to issues with foundation cracking, plumbing . Etc. As stated before EZ Modern Homes goes above and beyond with integrity and character. They build homes as if it’s their own."
