Bringing Your Custom Home to Life

Tailored Homes. Built Around You.

Trusted Construction Company Serving Waterford, CA, and the Surrounding Counties

Custom homes designed with you in mind, from first sketch to final key.

Building a home should feel exciting, not stressful. But for a lot of people, the process turns into a headache with delays, confusing pricing, or a builder who stops returning calls. We hear it all the time, and the truth is, it doesn’t have to be like that.

At MHB, Inc., we do things differently. We’re a local construction company that builds custom homes with care, clarity, and commitment. Based in Waterford, CA, we proudly serve Merced County, San Joaquin County, and Stanislaus County. Whether you’re just starting to look for land or you’re ready to sketch out your dream layout, we’re with you every step of the way.

We offer full-service construction services backed by a small, experienced team that actually shows up and keeps things moving. As dedicated construction contractors, we don’t just manage your project; we help you design a home that fits your lifestyle and goals.

This isn’t just about building a house. It’s about creating a place that reflects you and feels like home for years to come.

Custom Homes Without the Stress

Custom builds are our signature service. We specialize in custom home construction that’s tailored to your vision, your land, and your lifestyle. From the first conversation, we help you find the right lot, create a personalized layout, and build it out with high-end finishes and a process that stays on track. You’ll work with a small, experienced team that manages every step, from planning and permits to the final walkthrough.

We also offer full-service design-build support that keeps things simple and connected. No handoffs, no confusion. Our lot sourcing and site evaluation services help clients build smart from the start, whether it’s an in-town parcel or open acreage. And before we ever start construction, we’ll walk you through realistic budgeting and detailed planning to help avoid delays or extra costs.

As local construction contractors, we know what it takes to build in Waterford and the surrounding areas. We work with property owners to create smart, income-focused builds like ADUs, duplexes, or small-scale developments. If you’re adding space for family or rental, we also build backyard ADUs that meet California zoning laws and work with your property layout.

Whatever your project looks like, we bring honest guidance, local insight, and quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

MHB built our dream home in Oakdale. They did an amazing job! This was the first time we went through the process of building a house, which was a huge learning process for us, but they were there to help us every step of the way and were very patient with us. Then end result was more than we could have dreamed for. When making the biggest purchase of your life, you want to work with a company with integrity – that’s MHB. Mike, Anna, and Oscar were a pleasure to work with and they are trustworthy and reliable. We’re all paid up and they’re still taking care of us after the process with little touch ups and such. Thank you all so much for building our dream home 🙂

Thank you Mike, Anna, and Oscar! We love the home that you built for us. We recommend them if you’re looking for a contractor. It was our first experience with building and they walked us through each step, special thanks to Anna for that. MHB has been a pleasure to work with and even after the Final they are taking care of some small details. Thank You!

I recently had a home built in Ripon and am absolutely in love with how it has turned out! Mike, Anna, and Johnny were all very responsive with any concerns I had or adjustments that needed to be made and made the entire process so easy. They made it possible for me to move in when I needed to even though some things hadn’t been completed yet, and since moving in have helped with any minor issues that have come up. I am so grateful to them for building me my forever home and if you are looking for a contractor I would HIGHLY recommend MBH Inc!

Mike, Anna, and Johnny make a great team who I have enjoyed working with while making our custom home project come to life. Building a home is a stressful time, and there were a lot of curveballs thrown on our project through COVID, new PG&E rules and government regulations, and a lawn firm that took WAY longer than needed to draw up a utility easement with our neighbor. Every construction project is unique and will have its own issues pop up. It’s how the problems are handled that matters. MHB was honest and professional throughout the process, and you can tell they care about the owner’s satisfaction with the end product.

Mike and his team (Anna and Johnny) were fantastic from the beginning to end. We had no idea how to go about building a custom home and he guided us to great people and had a fantastic team beside him that really provided quality work. We appreciate the patience and creative approaches along the way that led us to a complete home that was beyond our expectations and is truly remarkable. If on the market for any type of build MHB is the place to go.nwas just fantastic al around.

MHB team remodeled our optometry office in late 2021. I’m writing this review in late 2022 and we still love the result. Everything hold up as we expected. Our patients love the color cordination of the wall, the granite counter and the wood floor. Since my wife and I have no idea about constructions, we really counted on the team to provide expert experience on this. Anna was there every steps of the way. The team also went extra mile, above and beyond, to make sure the project completed on time. We are greatful for your work and no doubt we will reconnect when its time to start building our new house.

We have lived in our home now built by MHB for 6 months now! Wow! My family and I could not be happier! Mike is a man of his word and offers a great value with creative design ideas! He was very up front and honest on pricing and my many change orders. His whole team was very patient with any last-minute changes! Building a new home in the middle of supply shortages and rising inflation was not for the faint of heart but I felt supported throughout the whole process! Really a great experience overall from start to finish! Mike helped from day one before we ever purchased the land and even made an amazing construction lender recommendation that offered the best rate and easy funding system! Thank you all for making our beautiful home a dream come true!

Mike and his team built our custom home in 2021. From our first conversation in March 2020 and throughout the entire process, Mike was honest, reliable, and committed to making sure our vision came true. Even through the hardships of the pandemic and rising costs of materials, they ensured our home was built with quality and to our satisfaction. We communicated closely with Mike and his team throughout the entire process. Even with my indecisiveness, they were patient and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We cannot say enough great things about MHB, Inc.! If you are wanting to remodel/build, they are your go-to people!

MHB, Inc helped us with our 1978 home remodel with addition ( laundry room) . Hands -down Mike is by far the best contractor we have hired. He was always available and kept us informed on inspections etc. His crew went above and beyond to have our home done in time for the holidays. They were knowledgeable and efficient. We couldn’t be happier with our home. This was our fourth home remodel. Mike was by far the best contractor we have used. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

We heard about MHB from a friend whose home was built by MHB a couple years ago. And I cant tell you how great of a job they did building our home. In a year where there were so many challenges due to Covid, MHB still managed to complete our home on time and most importantly on budget. They guided us through the entire process and were very accommodating to our needs. We are extremely excited with our new home and would highly recommend them to anyone.
