Dave did the work beyond our expectations and added a few little extras at no cost to insure the job was done to last and to make things look even better than promised. I have used him for several other projects and this is just the way he works. I recommend him with no reservations at all if you want the job done correctly and to your complete satisfaction.
Description of Work: Replaced weathered chimney siding, repaired retaining wall, exterior painting, installed pavestone walkway, installed security door

I can not imagine a better experience. This is the third time I have used Dave and I will use no one else. We tell him what we would like and he draws on his experience and knowledge to offer suggestions that give us the best possible outcome. We love the results.
Description of Work: Exterior sidibng repair, flashing repair, painting, installed new security door, installed new ceiling fan, installed 7 recessed lights, built new patio/walkway in backyard.
It could not have gone any better. This is the second time we have used Dave. He is friendly, neat, fair, clean, honest, and a bit of a perfectionist. His bid was for his finished work and he stuck with his bid even though he kept seeing flaws in his work that even my wife did not see. He did not stop until it was perfect. If you want it cheap and quick look elsewhere. If you want to be proud of the outcome for years without being over charged I would call Dave. In fact we have already called him to come back and do some other work for us this fall.
Description of Work: We had a flood in the house. Dave came in and replaced drywall, wood, trim, tile, and painted everything.

I then asked him to send me the invoice for the lumber. I wrote a note to his partner and asked for a copy and never received it (this was for about $600 or $700 worth of material). Since I never heard from them I emailed her and she said she never got my email. I then called a few times to get the invoice and have never heard back! This is really aggravating because with everything else they were professional. To me, this seems like a very simple thing to do and I don't understand why they can't take care of it. At this point I don't know if I would use them again in the future because I don't know if they are dependable or not.
Description of Work: The main job was replacing siding and painting it (this was for the side of the house). I informed him that it needed to be routed (which he didn't write down). Unfortunately it wasn't until later that I noticed that he never did this (which I just dismissed).

Overall, the job was exceptional. He arrived on time, did the job for the estimate value, and left the work area clean. He took half a day, and we thought the $200 was a great bargain.
Description of Work: The sub-floor under one of the large tiles next to our shower in the bathroom was bad and the tile was loose. Mr. Ruff removed it carefully, the tile and mortar underneath and replaced the sub-floor and added support for the area, which had suffered water damage. Replaced the tile and did a wonderful cleanup job.

He was very prompt and punctual. when I first called them, they said it would be two weeks away. I really needed teh work done before the 7th. They had a cancellation and came in last Monday. He was great. He left everything very clean. He asked about vacuum cleaners for when he might make a mess. Everything was tip top shape and even made friends with the dog. Everything I asked plus more!
Description of Work: He did paint touch ups, secured a post that was loose in my fence, adjust a drawer so it fit better. I didn't have the paint I needed for the trim and he went out and got it for us.

David Ruff was very comfortable to work with and we really appreciated his expertise which saved us some money. When we did encounter a scheduling problem; one of those freakish, once-in-a-lifetime things - it was handled very professionally. In fact, it increased my confidence in doing business with Ruff Renovations because of the way it was handled. The work is professional, very reasonable in price for what was originally quoted and the area was left clean.
Description of Work: The threshhold at the front door was damaged by heavy moving equipment crushing the wood. We thought the whole door frame might need to be replaced because of the house's construction. However, David Ruff recommended a more economical solution to build an oak threshold over the existing one. By not taking out the door frame we also avoided the possibility that some bricks might break loose in that process. The new threshold looks great. It took very little time for Ruff to complete.

It was great. His quality of work and his price were exceptional. We also called lot of people who would not do the job because it was not big enough. We had another vendor give a quote that was so much higher. Dave did a fantastic job and worked late to get the work done. He had a wonderful attitude and cleaned up after himself. He was an overall pleasure to work with. He did such a good job we tipped him $50.
Description of Work: He did carpentry and siding work for us.

I EMAILED THEM GIVING A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT I HAD IN MIND. WHEN THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED, I GAVE THEM MY DAUGHTER'S PHONE NUMBER, AND ASKED THEM TO CALL HER, AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. THEY DID, SCHEDULED THE APPOINTMENT FOR LAST WEEK, AND NEITHER SHOWED UP NOR CALLED TO SAY THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TIME, AND WANTED TO RESCHEDULE. THEY HAVE NOT CALLED SINCE.
