The Buffum 'family' built my dream home. From design to project completion, they were totally professional but always gave helpful and unbiased advice to help me choose the right options for me. I would use them again!

Moving here has been wonderful! We are so blessed to have such a beautiful place to call our own. I have cooked more this week in our BEAUTIFUL new kitchen than I have in the past year! A huge thank you to Josh and Norm at Buffum Homes for making the process as smooth as possible and incorporating everything we wanted. We couldn't be happier!

My wife and I had a great experience building our home with Buffum. They have a very detailed process that helped us address all of our questions along the way. The interactions we had with all the people involved in the construction of the house were very positive. Building a home is a stressful process but Buffum helped significantly reduce that pressure with a detailed plan that helped us stay on track with the decisions we had to make. Overall it was an amazing process to be a part of.
