This wasn't a pre-fab or generic solution, it feels custom and well thought out. The installation was clean and professional. Posts are perfectly set, the structure is solid, and the attention to detail really shows. Everything feels sturdy, intentional, and built to last. This pergola completely transformed our outdoor space and turned an unused area into a functional and inviting gathering spot. Communication was easy throughout the project, and it's clear Martin takes pride in his work. Highly recommend TGR and would absolutely use them again for future projects.

This is a mixed review since there is good and bad to mention. I contracted with this company to…read morereplace my siding and double decks. This wasn't the lowest priced bid, yet it also wasn't the outrageously high quotes I received from other companies. I was very excited to finally get this work done. At the same time I was working with TGR, I was also contracted with a roofing company, a painter, and a gate company. In the end, the only company I had problems with was TGR Construction Co. There are things I wasn't prepared for in this process, such as my pictures falling off the walls during the siding tear off or the cracks in the ceiling and walls created with the tear off, of which they tried to tell me all these NEW cracks (I live in this home) are due to normal settling of my home and said all houses settle with time and this is normal and not due to the siding job. I know it's not a coincidence these new and sudden 'settling' cracks appeared with the siding work. They broke through the ceiling upstairs and they did own up to this, maybe because it's hard to justify 'normal' settling with sudden stucco all over the floor. There were structural issues that arose during the project, at nobody's fault, that ended up costing me $11K more than my contract. Then I was also charged $4900 more to remove windows and have them reset. Btw, three other companies included the window removal and reset in their contract. It was considered standard for other companies. After the siding and decks were done, I was left with HVAC refrigerant lines on the ground and blocking doors and windows for my tenants, wires dangling under the deck staircase, the Radon remediation system wasn't reattached correctly and sparked scaring a HVAC technician and me, a deck rail was reset too low, refrigerant line covers were accidentally thrown out, and my daughter and I each did double sweeps for nails left behind when work was done. It took almost two months of asking for them to resolve these unresolved issues before some things were finally done. Jan 20th, three months after the crew left, I finally had the last unresolved issue handled. As a consumer, when I contract with a company, I expect to have the job done right without unnecessary stress. That did not happen here. On the POSITIVE, the crew is hardworking and really nice guys. The siding and double decks look great now. My home underwent a metamorphosis and is now beautiful and I receive compliments. I had crappy, rotting decks replaced with sturdy decks. This is the only reason I give a 2 rating instead of lower. All the mishaps, repair delays, and stood up appointments made this extremely frustrating and stressful. Could I have achieved my desired results without the frustration? I'm sure I could have with a different company. Buyer beware! Educate yourself on all steps that need to be in your contract. Make sure the removal of your windows for proper flashing is in the contract. I know A LOT of people and all my other contractors received more jobs through my recommendations. I know currently four people who are looking for a recommendation for siding, yet I can't recommend TGR Construction.

I found Red Diamond on Yelp and called them because of the high ratings posted. Amparo came to my…read morehouse prepared. We discussed what I wanted and options I might consider. When unsure about choices, she said she would write up the estimate broken down so I could consider my options carefully. She gave me ideas I didn't even consider. I was also looking to get the job done before family event so my deadline was tight. Her estimate came in the next day and was very competitive, and compared to the other bids I had received, we were getting fantastic value. We accepted the offer and her team came out early the following week committed to completing the job before my deadline. The team did a fantastic job, exceeding my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the construction of the three gates I called for. Two side gates were especially attractive, and a double 10 foot gate in the back was very well constructed with 8 inch square pressure treated posts and a steel frame supporting the structure. I am planning on using the Red Diamond team for additional projects on my property and would enthusiastically, recommend them to anyone.

This is to voice our unequivocal endorsement of Barb's fabulous handling of our house renovation…read more We were a little wary of having to do it remotely, but a meeting with her put us at ease. Her quote was very reasonable and she gave a detailed estimate of the work. Her crew did an exceptional job of matching the original wood flooring and sanding and staining the original per our specifications. The carpet installation, electrical work, bathroom modeling was equally good, and they even went out of their way to pick the plumbing fixtures (per our request). She's really easy to work with and kept us apprised of unexpected surprises like the thickness of original floor, and suggested solutions. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a great contractor to handle your next renovation project, look no further than Barb.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nathan Young and his team a few times now - as an…read moreindependent design professional also hired by the client. I cannot emphasize the importance of a great contractor and NDY is among the top echelon in Portland. Nathan is part of the new generation of builders. He isn't a guy that didn't go to college and fell into construction to make a living. He works in construction because it is his passion to build something and make a difference in an industry that needs an infusion of new ideas and practices. He is direct, but kind; knowledgeable, but collaborative; a leader, AND he is down to earth. Nathan has gotten a fair amount of praise in the industry for his building practices. He isn't a "we always did it this way" kind of professional. If you are building or remodeling a residential or commercial space he should be on your short list!

A year later I had some water damage on an interior wall, so I called him up for help. He sent in his plastering guys and they were great with communication, promptness and clean up. They made easy work of the repair and I'm very happy with it. I am definitely going to keep bringing Nour and his team back for other projects that we have consulted on, as I trust his quality of work and know that he can get it done in a timely fashion, which is very important to me. Efficiency, creativity and quality make Nour stand out from all the other builders I've used in the past (it's hard to get all 3 factors in one person!). He is a truly competent contractor.

Let me start off by saying that this project turned out amazing! Nour and I collaborated on this…read morecovered deck for over a year, and the finished product is truly stunning. Nour devoted a lot of time before we got started in order to work out of the details because there were many moving parts. This project has 466 sf of decking with a 24' x 12' covered main living area. From the first day of demo I knew we had the right guy. Nour and his crew were on time and dug right in by removing our old deck and busted up the old patio. Whenever we ran into any issues Nour would come up with solutions, and this made the whole process easier. Once the substantial concrete footings and patio were poured the structure was completed in just days. This is when I knew for a fact, I had hired the right person! I have been around construction my entire life and I know the money is in the details. However, if the structure is not built soundly then you just forget about the details, so with that said I can tell you that this foundation and structure are build right! Of course, the details on this project are simply outstanding. The dark stained rough cut 2" x 8" red cedar decking & railing, the pine T&G cover, the Shou Sugi Ban ridge/rafters/kings/struts are set against the off-white siding/beans/posts really works well together. I have to say that Nour's work ethic and his desire to make your project special to you shows in the final product. The best thing that I can say about Nour is I have already discussed several other projects that I want to hire him for in the coming years. I look forward to our next collaboration.
