Testimonials

"Concept Builders built us a custom home in Carbonado, WA. Working with Dan and Joe Schaafsma made it really easy for us to get exactly what we wanted. They worked with us every step of the way and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. Their attention to detail was second to none and they really did make the building process as easy as possible. We would definitely recommend Concept Builders to anyone considering a first class builder. We couldn't be happier with our new home thanks to Dan and Joe!"
