We are so grateful to all the employees at Marino Construction. We have used them for several…read moreprojects and have nothing but great things to say about the quality of their work and the kindness and professionalism of the employees...from the construction workers to the project coordinators. 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!

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.

Doug and Katie and their entire staff make it their business to treat everyone with respect, always delivering and exceeding expectations. The equipment and installation is made to last especially in the harsh saltwater environment.No corners are ever cut and the quality is evident by how their products endure for years without any issues. If you want the security of a quality product and want it to last there is only one company to choose and that is Lifetime. I am very demanding when I pick my trades and products. In Florida and in the Keys the wrong decision can be costly especially over the long term. Do your homework and compare vendors and you'll see that Lifetimes materials and installation blow them all out of the water, not even close. When installing a lift you get one chance to get it right and these guys truly take it serious. Peter T. Duck Key
