Fish Builders
Fish Builders represents a unique fusion of old-world craftsmanship and new-school knowledge. We are located in Salida, at the south end of the Arkansas River Valley in south-central Colorado. We have delivered residential and small commercial projects, as well as additions and structural modifications, for over a decade.

We appreciate that no matter how small your building project is, you are making a significant investment with regard to both time and money. Communication and professionalism are an integral part of any project we take on. From consultation for a new patio, to complete general contracting and construction on a custom home, we have the expertise to complete your project with style.

We have the knowledge, creativity and resources to build homes using a myriad of materials and construction methods. Fish is unique in that we have both an extensive background in carpentry and traditional building, as well as a collective desire to further our knowledge with new techniques, using new materials and technologies.
Services
Fish Builders is owned and operated by Greg Follet. Greg grew up in Wisconsin, working construction jobs from an early age. The search for adventure and continued education led him to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where Greg developed a heavy addiction to mountain living and earned a degree in Construction Management in 1993.
How do you embark upon building a new home or take on the daunting task of a remodel? The answers are as varied and complex as the projects themselves. Helping you move from conception to completion is an area of expertise most builders only give lip service to. But at Fish we value customer communication as a vital component of a successful project.
More and more companies are advertising themselves as green, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to weed out the "pretenders" from the "contenders." We do our best at Fish Builders to keep up on these products and the companies that produce them, and we can help you make decisions on the products you put into and use in your home.
This was a very challenging project, on which we worked very hard with the homeowners to design a space that was both functional and also utilized the existing space within the structure. The result is a unique but elegant structure that increased the square footage by about 50% without increasing the footprint.
Is your house drafty or uncomfortable? Don't guess the source, let us diagnose the problem and offer sound solutions. We can estimate the costs of improvements, run a payback analysis, and help facilitate work projects. Adding renewable energy is great, but not cost effective if the system you are supplementing isn't efficient.

Greg and his team completed our modern home in 2018 and we were totally satisfied. He was a pleasure to work with and the attention to detail is evident throughout our home. Trustworthy and high character.
Fantastic experience.

My wife and I interviewed three contractors to build a custom home for us south of Poncha Pass. We are so happy that we chose Fish Builders. The entire crew was professional, highly skilled, and so easy to work with. Not only was the craftsmanship of the highest quality, but the challenges of building our house next to a creek in an aspen grove were easily met by Fish Builders. A great company and a great team.
