Sam's Experience

Building is in Sam's DNA.

As a second-generation builder, Sam Clifton has dedicated most of his life to learning his trade. As a boy, Sam worked for his father's construction company. From pouring cement foundations to installing drywall, Sam learned every aspect of the building process. To further pursue his passion for building, Sam also earned a Construction Management degree from Missouri State University. While completing his formal education, Sam continued to learn on the job, building houses with his father.

A Talented Team

Today, Sam and his talented wife Michelle team up to provide their clients with outstanding design-build services. It's their Millstone mission to bring new homes to life for couples and families. Raising their own three children in the Ozarks, Sam and Michelle are true neighbors to many of their clients. They forge a bond and friendship with their clients that lives on long after the new home is complete.

Serving His Community

In 2009, producers for ABC television's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition approached Millstone Custom Homes to discuss building an Extreme Makeover home. Sam and Michelle embraced the opportunity to help a deserving Greene County family. Their acceptance of the challenge led to a highly successful, uncompensated project––building a home in one week, a process that under normal circumstances takes at least six months. Giving back to the community must truly be in Sam's DNA.
