Background: Our original rear patio redwood deck was initially installed in 1980, when our House…read morewas first built. Existing dark brown deck boards were lifting with plank screw fasteners exposed. After an unsuccessful attempt to use of Behr penetrating stain, boards were partially restored to a dark brown. After one year, the Behr stain began to visibly peel off of all components of the deck. Douglas fir staircase railings did not soak in or retain the Behr stain. Last year, due to heavy rain, our adjacent underground basement flooded requiring pumping to remove water transferred through the cement foundation of the home. Project Phases: Phase 1: remove all existing wood components of the existing deck. Phase 2: Excavate deck side of the House foundation, a) paint foundation with active water resistant barrier paint to cover all House foundation areas next to the back deck. Bury white 4 inch piped highly absorbent water accumulators and interconnect piping with an existing roof gutter drain system. Phase 3: Install new TREX Transcend "Tiki Torch" wood grain planks using concealed TREX fastener system complimented by new black metal rust resistant stair case fencing and railing system.

Riley gave an extremely reasonable quote and stayed on budget. The crew arrived on time every day, kept the workspace tidy, and paid incredible attention to detail. The finished patio looks absolutely fantastic. Riley took the time to explain each step of the process and made sure we were comfortable with every decision along the way. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and honest contractor, I highly recommend Rough Stuff--they exceeded all our expectations! 10/10 would recommend.

Everyone from the TMC crew was great to work with, we had a rather large project and we did not mind seeing the TMC crew every morning bright and early! From the very start, their team was professional. The sales process was transparent, insightful, and educational as we had to discuss what our vision was for our home while the TMC team helped us put a plan together to make it happen. As for the work and team, every member was meticulous with every detail of our project (siding, windows, and covered wrap around porch), and really took pride in their work. Special shout out to Joe and his crew who bring years of experience to the job site, Scott who helped us with estimates and working through pivots in the plan, the wonderful office staff who helped keep the project moving forward, and even the owners who came out and checked in to make sure we were happy with everything! TMC is and will be our contractor of choice for future projects.

"Let me call him" like dude you are him, it doesn't make any sense. He's literally talking about himself, left us high and dry, completely screwed over. Steven was supposed to be over at 7:30 and after many calls from us, no answers, I get a response at 9:15. And by the looks of his reviews it looks like a common occurrence, use someone else and not this flake.

Levi was one of the few to call me back, come out for the quote when he said he would and provided additional detail when the insurance adjusters asked. And the work they did was amazing.

I also hired Levi and crew to paint the whole exterior and will have him replace ducting under the house, soaked by the water run off and some other concrete work I need done. I can't say enough about Levi, his crew and the quality of their work.

He thoroughly explained his plan for repairing the deck including an explanation of current building codes. Bob was professional, friendly and easy to talk with.

Bob charges by the hour, but his final billed invoice was cheaper than other deck repair quotes I had received. I will definitely use Robinson Construction Company for any future construction needs. Thanks again Bob!

Keith and his team are incredible. They not only made a gate far more beautiful than I planned…read more(needed a fence for function and privacy and now I think it's almost too nice for my house!) but they went above and beyond every step of the way. From making an extra side fence for the other side of my house, to cleaning up the yard waste I left out, to washing my driveway and leaf blowing my entire street of leaves and debris to make it all nicer. Even my neighbors' yards. Most importantly, the gate is constructed with the integrity that only comes from years of experience and pride in work. So much better and about the same price as what I would have gotten from a construction store, and they cut through and re-poured the cement to secure the post many feet in the ground - which is way more than I would have been able to do on my own. Could not recommend more!

I don't have enough good things to say about Keith (the owner of Artistic Iron) and his workmanship…read moreand how awesome he is to work with. Keith is meticulous about his work and he, and everyone who works for him, is super nice. I don't know how it's possible to be a perfectionist about what you do and simultaneously be laid back, but somehow Keith has found the balance. We had to put a new fence around our back yard and Keith went above and beyond to get the new fence up as quickly as possible. The fence and gates are perfect and everything looks beautiful. It has completely changed how our back yard looks and even our neighbors have complimented us on how nice the fence is.
