If Sumo Builders considers this “conducting business,” they did a terrible job. I would never use their services again, nor would I recommend them to anyone I care about. Their workmanship was extremely poor, the materials used were substandard, and the entire experience felt deceptive. Please do not use this company, you will end up wasting your time and money.

If sumo builders conducts business anyway like they drive, I would never in my life use their services or recommend them to anyone that that I care about. Their silver Nissan frontier work truck pulled an extremely dangerous and rude maneuver that almost caused me to crash. No Shaka thrown and no apology. Without even having them build anything, I can tell that their work ethic is pretty bad and unprofessional.
