More than a builder - a thoughtful guide.

“Colby, Claire, and the Stratified Solutions team restored my confidence that construction can be collaborative, thoughtful, transparent, and even enjoyable.”

“My experience with Stratified Solutions was exceptional, and I am thrilled to share this review! I came to Colby and his team after a difficult experience with my original ADU contractor that left me with little more than a foundation and a lot of frustration. I was overwhelmed and nervous about trusting another builder, but working with Stratified Solutions turned out to be a completely different and amazing experience. The Stephens live just a few blocks from me, and for years I'd admired their beautiful home and garden on my daily walks. When they began building a second home on their property, I enjoyed watching the progress and was thrilled to see a Stratified Solutions sign go up next to the construction. Having been so impressed with their work, and having just parted ways with my first contractor, I decided to reach out and I am so glad I did! From the beginning, Colby listened. He understood that I wasn't just building an ADU, but creating a comfortable, accessible home for my aging parents. He identified and corrected issues left by the previous builder, offered thoughtful suggestions, and always took the time to explain his recommendations. I felt heard, respected, and supported throughout the entire process. Colby is extremely smart and incredibly knowledgeable about construction, energy efficiency, and livability. He shared lessons learned from living in the beautiful home I'd watched him build and incorporated some of those insights into my little house. He also offered valuable advice about protecting and maximizing my investment, including ideas I'm now actively pursuing. I appreciated that he was thinking not just about completing the project, but about what would serve my family long term. I also have to give a special shoutout to Colby's wife, Claire! She is a brilliant artist with an incredible eye for color and design. Working with her to select materials, finishes, and colors was an absolute joy. She helped bring everything together beautifully, and her creativity and thoughtful guidance made the process easier and more enjoyable. The quality of the work is outstanding. Every employee and subcontractor was knowledgeable, respectful, and professional. The job site was kept remarkably clean, communication was stellar, and the work moved efficiently. Best of all, the project was completed on time, and the finished home exceeded my expectations. After such a stressful beginning, I can't overstate how wonderful it was to finish this project feeling genuinely happy about the entire experience. Colby, Claire, and the Stratified Solutions team restored my confidence that construction can be collaborative, thoughtful, transparent, and even enjoyable. I am incredibly grateful to have found them. If I ever build or renovate again, Stratified Solutions will absolutely be my first call. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
