A 2025 customer who works in the construction industry said MGM Builders built their custom home, and had built their parents' home 30 years earlier. That customer said the project manager, Danny, completed the home on time and within budget. The company says on Houzz that it has been building and designing homes in Maine for over 30 years, and its website says it does everything from partial home renovations to home additions. A pressherald.com article names Mike Manning as the founder and general contractor of MGM Builders, and a mainebiz.biz article describes him as part of a team that won a competitive bid to build workforce housing for Falmouth. It holds 4.6 stars from 27 Google ratings, 5.0 from 14 Houzz ratings, and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. A 2025 customer had a patio pulled up and redone and a deck recentered in the posts after it buckled during the winter, and said MGM gave an accurate estimate and got the work done in a timely fashion. A 2020 customer who built a house said a few minor items turned up afterward, and after a text to Taylor he had someone come out right away to fix them. A 2020 customer who built from 700 miles away said the team kept in constant contact about the project status. A 2019 customer said the final result was what they were going for and the price was fair. A 2025 reviewer said that a few years earlier, after a few months of planning and negotiations, the company stopped responding when they were about to sign a contract. A 2019 customer wrote that the house was the third home MGM had built for them.

“Mike Manning of MGM Builders in Windham was doing a good deed early Thursday morning — plowing a path across the ice so that ice fisherman could reach their shacks — when his truck crashed through the ice of Jordan Bay in Sebago Lake.”
“Mike Manning, founder and general contractor of MGM Builders. Finegan said that all three partners got involved in the project with the desire to address the extreme lack of housing in the area.”
This was my second time building a custom home but the experience was truly unmatched. Our project manager (Danny) and designer (Bri) were an absolute dream team! They worked seamlessly together to beautifully and thoughtfully bring the plans that MGM designed for us to life. From start to finish, the process was as fun and stress-free as building a house could possibly be. My finished home is one-of-a-kind and I hope to have the pleasure of working with them again on future projects.
I moved into my brand new MGM custom built home 3 months ago and it is spectacular! The whole process, from the first site visit with Taylor (heck, even the first phone call), to the design with a great architect, Matt, to the actual build with an amazing project manager, a different Matt, was seamless. Matt’s knowledge, communication skills and patience are superb!! This is the 4th house I have built and it was by far the best experience. The contract was clear and concise, the software they use for tracking approvals and changes is very user friendly, every MGM person I encountered onsite was friendly and professional, the independent contractors and suppliers they recommended were all wonderful (and so many of them told me how lucky I was to have MGM building my house)! I would not hesitate to use MGM again! (I will add photos when my landscaping is complete!)
After a few months of planning and negotiations, we were about to sign a contract with this company a few years ago and then they ghosted us. Never got back to me. Nothing. What a horrible thing to do. This is the exact reason we need building contractors to be licensed in the state of Maine and held accountable.
Matt was terrific as was his whole team. We had a patio that needed to be pulled up and redone, and our deck recentered in the posts after it buckled during the winter. MGM gave an accurate estimate that was very reasonable and got the work done in a timely fashion. They communicated really well. Would highly recommend!
We just completed our custom home with MGM Builders, and couldn’t be happier. Being in the construction industry myself, I was concerned we would not find a builder and team that would meet all of our goals- but MGM did just that. I was familiar with MGM as they completed my parents home 30 years ago (which they still live in and love), and they have stayed true to their family-own roots. I was most impressed with there design-build services, level of experience, and overall project team- they far exceeded all other builders in the area that we “interviewed”. We initially met with Taylor and instantly connected with his level of professionalism and knowledge of residential construction. We worked hand in hand with Matt and Anne (even visiting Anne & Michael’s home) to gain inspiration and as we went through the design process. They were extremely patient as we went through design, and their key design recommendations are what truly makes our home feel custom. Danny was our PM and he was always available and ready to jump on anything we brought to him. He has a great calming personality and was able to pivot to some of the challenges that come with construction. Danny successfully completed our home on time and within budget. Overall, I would highly recommend the MGM team and all of their subcontractors used onsite. They are a top-tier builder in Southern Maine. We look forward to working with them on our Phase II dream barn!
