When choosing a builder for your new home, be sure to look closely at what is included within your new home package. Watch out for the builders with an upgrade list that is longer than their standard items list! If you view Maple Hill Homes’ Standards list, you will see that we do not cut corners - it’s just not our way of doing business.
Our homes are built correctly and are designed to last.  If a “big box” builder quotes a price for your home that is lower than our price, beware – it is very likely that the quality of that home is going to be lower also. The lesser quality homes built by other builders eventually start to cost more money due to poor quality building, materials and/or products, while your Maple Hill Home will still be the high quality home it was from day one.  We build our homes to last a lifetime – and we mean it!
