I had been shopping around for a new manufactured home and landed on American Home Centers' website. I couldn't be happier with the level of service that I received. The staff helped me through the entire process and were friendly throughout the transaction. I recommend American home Centers to any home buyer in Belgrade, Montana.

Everyone at American Home Centers is wonderful, but especially outstanding is our salesman, Mathew Bruce. Mathew had the answers to my questions, the solutions to my problems, and was always professional and beyond that - cheerful!
