Colby and the Buddha Builders crew made our visions come to life! Throughout the whole process, Colby was extremely helpful. Anytime we had questions, he had answers. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The crew did an amazing job - super quick and they definitely didn't slack on quality! I will no doubt be calling Colby for more work in the near future.

Colby, Freddy, and the entire crew were incredibly friendly, responsive, and overall wonderful to work with. They helped us to translate the key design elements we did and did not want into a coherent final plan for our patio and walkways. We love the final result and would happily work with Buddha Builders again!

Colby and his crew are some of the best I’ve seen, and I grew up around contractors and construction. They’re always on time and finish on schedule without ever sacrificing quality which is something I really appreciate. They went above and beyond my expectations and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for some awesome outdoor living space.
