Report
As a long time resident of Monroe County, I've had a chance to get an informed opinion about many area builders. When I decided to buy a new home, RW Buff topped a very short list of builders who I knew would deliver a home that exceeded my expectation. Our floor plan makes great use of the square footage and major attention was given to maximizing the energy efficiency. I can't recommend Bob and Joe enough. Great people, Great Homes.

Report
We wanted some alterations done on our PA house. We were concerned as we did not believe that the PA contractors were as good as those in New Jersey where we live. Bob Buff was recommended to us and completed a fairly complicated addition/renovation to our house. We found that he does great work and keep us informed throughout the job. We highly recommend him to others.

RW Buff has contacted me on occasions as a follow-up courtesy to
