Testimonials & Reviews
    • out of 5 stars
      Austin LoBue and his team did excellent work on two projects. The first was a wood fence and gate. They worked a good portion of the days in the rain to get it done. The second project was an extension of an existing sidewalk, concrete pad for hot tub, assembled a steel gazebo, and installed a chainlink gate. All excellent work and I highly recommend Austin LoBue!

      Austin came through for us after 2 other contractors flaked out on building a dock for us. He was efficient and tidy, cleaning up after. By the time we hired him the weather turned cold and rainy, but the job got done and we are very happy with how it turned out. His communication was great as we were not able to be at site during assembly and installation. I highly recommend Austin Lobue construction for any project!

      Austin is reliable, prompt, detail oriented, and a skilled craftsmen. He takes pride in his work, even if it's just a basic cedar fence. He went above and beyond what I expected and his communication was excellent. I would whole heartedly recommend Austin for any job you need done, big or small.
