    Colony Builders are the best in the business! Our house was impacted by the Watson Grinding Explosion and the damages were severe as we are located 800 feet away. We had blown out windows structural damage, collapsing ceilings, etc. Once we decided to hire Colony Builders they started the next week! We did a complete remodel, replacing the entire house with siding, all the windows, all the carpet with laminate including our staircase, our deck & fence in the back yard and tore down our two door garage to make one large automatic one. The crews that came out we're hardworking and communicated with us every step of the way. Our repairs began on April 16th and finished within 2 short months on June 2nd!!! A complete remodel and they worked diligently to get us back to our house as soon as possible. Long story short HIRE THEM! You'll be so happy with the end result. I know if we need anything in the future this company will be our go to.

    We were referred to Colony Builders by a close friend for a patio cover. She had them over to her home for an estimate and seemed pleased. We contacted them and they immediately came by to provide us with an estimate. The estimate was within the cost of two other companies that we contacted. We went with Colony because they were providing a few extra things that the other companies were not. We signed the contract on March 9, 2018. Roughly 3 weeks later, we finally got to the next step of having the architect take pictures for the official plans. Then we waited another three weeks for approval of the plans, submission to the HOA and submission to the COH for a permit. Finally the crew comes to erect the two pillars/post. The first two attempts failed COH inspections; they were not the correct depth and the rebar wasn't tied correctly based on the architect's plans. That process last almost a week. By this time, we've contacted Colony's office 2 to 3 times about these numerous interruptions. We were assured that it would be corrected and the project manager would be in touch. The first project manager never showed up nor contacted us. The inspection passes and the framing begins. The guy is a decent framer but, apparently, has more than one project going on. He would sleep in his van, leave early and come late...rarely work a full day. Time for the structural inspection. Wait again...it passes. The initial electrical work is completed and another inspection...it passes. I must add, several of the inspections were scheduled by me not by Colony and I have been in contact with them throughout. Without me making these phone calls for inspections my project could have lasted another 2 to 3 weeks. The ceiling is finally closed in and the final pieces are put together. We were assigned another project manager Sam. He eased most of my frustrations and got the ball rolling again to get our patio moving toward completion. The framer completed his job and we noticed excessive amounts of caulk on many areas. We pointed it out and was told it was that way because "it was Hardi and not wood." Totally unacceptable! The shingles where the roof was tied in had a bulge where the shingles didn't lay flat. The ceiling was stained and the final electrical work was completed without any other issues. Sam comes out again and we point out the issues and incomplete work. The pillars/post will need to be redone because of the excess caulk, the roof bulge and the areas of wood (instead of Hardi) and paint overspray on the new windows. My husband and Sam did another walk around (final inspection) and the last payment was made on May 25, 2018. After several incidents and mistakes, I am 95% satisfied with my patio from Colony Builders. Cons: -lack of communication between Colony, the Customer and contractors. -Contractors should do only what they are experienced in. (Framer is not a Trim Out guy) -Long drawn out process Pros: -Competitive price with other Companies -Decent attempt of PM (Sam) to correct problems and get job completed

    Our patio is beautiful. We love the finished product, HOWEVER, when the electrician came out to install the lights, we noticed after they left that one of the ceiling fans didn't work. This was in Nov-Dec 2018. The PM, Sam, told us we'd have an electrician out immediately to install a new fan. They'd set an appointment and no one would show. This happened over and over. FIVE months later, the electrician finally showed up and replaced our fan. On the day they replaced our fan, the electrician backed into our garage denting our gutter so bad that water doesn't flow out of it properly anymore. We have this on video. It is now May 8, 2019 and we have gotten the same run around we received regarding the fan. It sucks to see a company tarnish their awesome work by lacking the ability to fix a simple issue in a timely manner.

    Colony Builders installed a Patio cover addition to my home. I am very satisfied with the results and my friends are impressed with it too. I feel that I got a great value. Mr. Zare was very knowledgeable. He provided me with good advice on how to fine tune the details of my project to ensure it would be both practical and look good. The crews performing the carpentry, roofing, painting, staining and electrical were are competent and left the work site cleaner than I expected. I would use Colony Builders again for future improvements.

    Love my new patio!! and look at the beautiful windows.  Thank you Colony Builders.

Even a few days later, when I thought of more things to ask, he was quick to respond and made sure I got the info I needed. I asked a lot of off the wall things, but he was patient and made sure I understood the explanation of different types of patios and materials. Before starting the project, he walked me through the plan and introduced me to my project manager, Luis. Luis was great, he kept me updated the whole way, even during the first week when I was out of town. I had no worries and I was able to enjoy my vacation while full on construction was going on at my home. Every crew that came out, roofing, painting, cement, told me what they were there to do and asked if I had any questions before getting started. I also have to mention Blanca in the office, every time I called, she was so friendly and easy to talk to, it was like I'd known her for years. The end result? My patio is beautiful! I was torn between putting money down on a larger home and moving, or building a patio to add square footage for gatherings. I am so happy I went with a new patio instead of the debt of a new home. I had to personally put getting any remodeling and home additions on hold while I cared for my dad for over a year. We talked about my patio dream before he passed in March. He kept telling me -"get that patio done". I'll think of him every time I'm enjoying my new space.

We had received quotes from many contractors but we are glad we went ahead with Greatheights outdoor living The only thing that was a slight disappointment was the spacing on the lattice. we had requested for 4" but it turned out 6". it still looks great so we are happy with it.

This was an outdoor kitchen and also a balcony addition. Some items were addressed but others were not. I recommend you get a home inspector to inspect the work they perform to ensure everything is in compliance to code, meets expectations of a home inspector, doesn't devalue nor diminish the value of your home, and there are no issues when you try to sell your home in the future. For example, their framer performed some of the electrical work on the balcony and not licensed to do so. Other staff initially used on the outdoor kitchen was used who were not journeymen electrician either. I reached out to the owner of Cypress Patios or CPABD LLC on multiple occasions giving him the opportunity to correct the issues and he elected to not address them in writing. Remaining items not addressed is electrical wiring in the attic protruding above the studs and not stapled down. A loose banister railing on a balcony not secured down. And damage to our concrete patio from their selected pressure washer damaging our concrete patio. Our house was brand new and only 2 months old when Cypress Patios or CPABD LLC left these unresolved issues on our property. See photos below of the workmanship and unresolved items found by a state certified home inspector and photos. And keep in mind this is an acclaimed award winning company in 2023 and 2025. But this was left unresolved and was not corrected. I welcome the owner to respond herein on how and when they plan to resolve these issues. As of today, April 16, 2026, the owner communicated in writing he has no plans to resolve these issues.

Unfortunately, everything else about the experience was extremely disappointing. The contractor started off great: friendly, responsive, and a good talker. But once the work began, the communication and professionalism dropped sharply. The walkthrough was unclear, a damaged wall was left unpainted and unrepaired, and several items I paid for -- including faucet fixture installation -- were never completed. He brought in a third‑party installer for the glass door, and because the installer measured incorrectly, the project timeline went from 5 days to 9 days. When I asked whether it was fair for me to absorb the extra time and cost caused by their mistake, the contractor became upset and stopped responding entirely. Since then, I have received no communication, no final receipt, and no follow‑through on the remaining work. Due to this complete lack of response, I have no confidence that he will honor the 1‑year warranty he claims to provide. Good tile work doesn't excuse disappearing on a customer, avoiding accountability, or leaving a job unfinished. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.
