2020 has passed and we couldn't be happier with our completed first floor project, thanks to Jim…read moreRutherford Construction. Jim was willing to tackle what other local well known contractors were either unwilling to consider or bid so high as to be unaffordable. Our project proved to be a technical challenge from the onset, raise the ground floor by almost a foot of concrete, completely rebuild the first floor by installing 3 impact French doors, 3 impact doors and 4 impact windows, cut off support an internal staircase including modifying framing around a dumbwaiter, reframe and replace every exterior wall from 4' down. Plus an added surprise rebuilding and repairing 45' of a heavily spalled concrete tie-beam in less than a week. We're still amazed at how quickly and confidently Jim set about taking on the project, he seemed to have it figured out before we even committed to getting started. He knew just right carpenters and subs to assign the work to. Once they began, they never stopped till the project was completed. Workmanship was outstanding, inspections were a breeze. Covid never slowed them down! I commend Jim for the quality of work and attention to detail, no corners or shortcuts taken, stainless hardware/fasteners throughout and pressure treated lumber. Add them all up and we have a completely new remodeled permitted downstairs ready to withstand the elements. It is without hesitation we'd recommend Jim Rutherford Construction for any project or home construction. Professional, polite and a pleasure to do business with. Given the recent increase in cost of materials, we were more than pleased with Jim's pricing and fairness.

Mr. Marino himself even came by several times to ensure that we were taken care of. In addition to the quality of the work, they really understood that as a childcare center we needed to ensure the safety of the children while the work was being done and thereafter. They even assisted us in brainstorming the best way to make updates and improve security. Prior to calling Marino (because we didn't know they took on smaller projects) we called many other companies in Key West and either didn't get a call back, the person never showed up to see the scope of work, or they gave us a quote and never showed up to do the work. So not only were we pleased that they showed up, but they followed through and even completed one job ahead of the time we were expecting. I will be calling on them for any and all future projects and you should too!

I left a number of messages, a couple of emails and a text or two, all with no response. I was concerned and attempted to contact a relative but none were available. So cash in hand for my permitted job I've been forced to find a new contractor. I did not know Jim well but from out brief time together he seemed to be a straight shooter and very knowledgeable. My condolences to Jim's family and the friends that knew him well.
