One of the best decisions we made was to hire [Michael Bennett Homes] to design and build our dream home. [The team] showed us a couple of the homes they are building so we could see the great work [the] teams are doing. Their styles are elegant and modern with attention to details we didn't even think about. Being able to see 3D renderings of the designs was really helpful to see so we really understood what to expect.
