I would like to state, thankfully, that I was lucky enough not to do business with this company. My only interaction with them was as a bystander. My experience with Buzby Builders was a peaceful day on Loch Erin, until the owner of the company decided to drive his tractor from his development property into my familys yard, and damage my familys property with malicious intent. After being peacefully confronted about destroying a freshly planted lilac bush, the man proceeded to yell and harass my mother. At one point he threatened to use his business to destroy my parents property value by

Pete Buzby built my home on loch Erin. This was the 5th home I had built. I can honestly say Pete Buzby was the best as compared to other builders I worked with. He was honest and went out of his way to make things right. Unless youve experienced working with several builders you cant appreciate the integrity and quality of Buzby Builders. Pete Buzby is the only builder I trust without reservation, if I was to build another home.
