Redwood Construction

unknown

From start to finish, John (the owner) communicated with me about what was going on. He was very polite on the phone and came to the very first meeting to assess the job with samples of various materials that might suit my project. He was prepared. He listened attentively, asked questions and made suggestions. He says "Yes ma'am!" and "Most definitely!" frequently. He grew up working with his father who had also been in the business. I really thought he might be too good to be true. When we had our first meeting I told him I wanted my house to look the same as it did before he started-only better-without peeling paint and rotted boards. My house is in the country and looks like a little cottage-style bed and breakfast. I wanted to maintain that look (even the light gray color). I was concerned that adding siding would significantly change the quaint look of my 70+ year old house. Unlike some of the other contractors, he didn't try to talk me into doing what was easy for him, he worked to find exactly what I wanted. John was prompt giving me a quote (some others never even called back!). His price was very competitive...he wasn't the cheapest or most expensive and he was very specific about what was included. I requested shiplap siding and I had some very problematic issues with water. John took time to find the shiplap siding sample and brought it on a subsequent visit. He made suggestions about how we might deal with the water issue and even called the guttering contractor to have him consult on the solution to reroute the water. John suggested colors and materials that would be best for my type of project and answered all my questions about type, quality and how it would all work together. He even pointed out potential problem areas so we could work out solutions before he started. He was very honest about what kind of work he does and doesn't do and was willing to recommend people if he doesn't do the work himself. Once hired, Redwood Construction showed up when he said they would with a very polite and clean crew. John even introduced the individual workers (Jason and Joe)! The owner was on the job every day. They set to work immediately and cleaned up after themselves each day. They made sure I always had safe access to my house throughout the project. They had to move my fence to work in back of the house. They made sure my fence was secure before they left each day so I could let my dogs out when I got home. John was always accessible by phone or text when I had questions about what I needed to order (I ordered my own doors and they installed them). I knew after the first day that the quality of work was going to be excellent...it showed. They worked quickly and the job was finished sooner than he estimated. He did not ask for partial payment until he actually started the job. He did not ask for the remainder until he was sure I was satisfied when the job was done. After he finished my house, he even took time to leave a sample of the siding in my mailbox so I could take it to the paint store and match it for some painting I wanted to do!. People might think John Rempel asked me to do this review or that he paid me.....but neither is true. I was just so astonished that someone did this quality of work that I wanted to make sure others in my area knew about Redwood Construction. I would recommend them without hesitation. I was very stressed about making the decision before I started, but the entire process was nearly seamless and my house is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I asked for!
