Riggins Construction LLC

Excellence. Ryan took the job that no one else wanted and delivered a very clean, professional product. He installed 2 fences - one with a wide gate and arbor. They both look beautiful and were constructed from cedar. Both are sturdy, tall, and provide tremendous privacy for the property. I'm exceptionally happy with the fences. He also replaced my deck treads (flooring), fascia, rails, and rebuilt my stairs to code. My deck was experiencing rot in some areas, and faced upgrade challenges due to the code infractions - the wood required annual TLC. With the Azek treads and alum railing, I'm maintenance free and will maintain a beautiful deck all year with no efforts. I did a lot of research and the composite treading make a lot of sense in the PNW. Ryan is a nice guy, running a small business with a small crew, who offers a quality, genuine product. They tidied their equipment up daily and shop vac'd debris. The crew was very polite. I'd recommend Riggins and have their number saved. EDIT: We brought Ryan back for two more jobs since the deck and initial fence work! Review below. Ryan and his crew excavated my yard and installed beautiful artificial grass to replace my since-October mud pit (re: high-energy dog + soft ground + rain = disaster). We used Riggins prior to replace the majority of our deck last summer and to put in some fencing. We brought them back again this past winter to finish the remaining fence work and were again impressed with the quality, lack of mess, and friendliness of the crew. These guys started on a Tuesday and were done with everything by Friday - which included entirely moving and rebuilding our small retaining wall. It's been a few weeks now and we've had an INSANE amount of rain. I really thought that I just had to expect some sort of water with that much rain.. but NOPE. Nothing. No standing, no puddles, nothing - it all drains perfectly. The grass itself is beautiful and exactly what I needed. My 70lb pup tears around all over it and doesn't lift it up, doesn't destroy it, etc. This is exactly what was needed to keep manage the pup's energy levels during the winter rain, and to allow us to have a usable yard year-round. The grass was locally sourced and is a good 1.25-1.5" deep and looks real enough. This is probably obvious, but I'll address it - when you stand on or touch it - you can tell it is not real. I also must say that these guys cut the grass perfectly to fit the yard - perfectly. You can see it in the pictures how closely it lines up with the edges of the grass space. Excellent work guys!

Professional and trustworthy, I highly recommend Riggins Construction. Based on the fantastic ratings on Yelp, we decided to hire Ryan from Riggins Construction to build a fence at our new home in West Seattle. The home was a "flip," and while a perimeter fence was in place, the backyard needed to be enclosed for our dogs. We also wanted to create a more private, secure and attractive front yard using decorative fencing and arbors. Ryan had the middle bid of three, but we felt most comfortable with his expertise and professionalism. Ryan worked so hard to remain in close communication even though we were never home during the hours that he worked on the fence. Text updates, photos, or calls came regularly - from underground pipes necessitating a change in the location of one section of fence, to BTW I moved your UPS package to the back deck - Ryan made me feel completely confident in the way he cared for us and our home. He uses high quality materials and the quality of his workmanship is beyond my expectations. Which are high. :) Ryan took the time to explain changes he suggested to my design to be certain the fence will be structurally sound for the long term. He also added an Azek floor to the garbage can enclosure we had him create - another fabulous idea which should greatly extend the life of the enclosure even in rainy Seattle. I am so excited that I can now work on the landscaping and pretty it up - the fence, gates, arbors, and enclosed garbage space have already made an enormous difference to the curb appeal of our home. When a wisteria winds its way up that front arbor in full bloom next Spring, it will be even more special. And not everyone could build me an arbor which they felt could handle a wisteria. Thank you, Ryan, for working so hard to make our house a home!

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan and his employees to install two 10 ft. x 20 ft. decks, border stones around our lawn, and a pathway of pavers leading from the entrance of our backyard to one of the decks. When Ryan arrived on site, he studied our space and took copious notes as he carefully measured everything out. He provided a variety of options for how he could go about the project based on the budget we provided. Then Ryan walked us through each step of the project and helped us visualize and choose the right materials, colors, and features that would tie everything in our yard nicely. He even added some finishing touches to elevate the beauty and design of our space at no extra cost. All the while, his crew was hard at work executing on the vision for the project day in and day out. His employee Juan, especially, showed utmost enthusiasm. Juan's dedication to his craft was apparent, and his attention to detail was outstanding. He ensured each piece of material was cut to exact specifications and each nail and board was perfectly aligned. He was the first to arrive each morning, and the last to leave at the end of each day. Ryan was communicative all throughout the process and updated us when he anticipated our project completion date would shift due to factors outside of his control like material delivery delays and such. He was always honest with us, which helped us manage our expectations. Riggins Construction delivered a modern and spacious yard that we will enjoy for years to come. It was better than what we could have ever imagined. We would happily recommend him and his team to anyone!

Where do I begin? I first hired Ryan a little more than three years ago to replace my fence. I am a perfectionist by nature and told Ryan upfront that I expected straight lines, true 90 degree angles, and perfect symmetry. Ryan’s response? Good — so do I. And he did not disappoint. The fence and gates he built for me were superb — perfect even. Perfect lines and perfect angles. In fact, the lines are so clean that when you close the gates they simply disappear. I knew then that I had found a true craftsman and immediately started looking around for the next project. Cue the deck. Ryan demolished my old dilapidated deck and replaced it with a beautiful IPE deck that probably will last longer than I will. And again, everything is perfect. Perfect lines, and perfect precision. Even better, Ryan basically doesn’t understand the words no or can’t. If I had an idea, he was quick to discuss the pros and cons and tell me the best way to implement. And the results speak for themselves (see attached pictures). Since then, I’ve basically racked my brain every year to figure out what else I could have Ryan improve. He’s built me a hardscape path, he’s replaced the railing on my front patio, and he’s built my wife a beautiful garden box. Through every project, he’s been an absolute pleasure to work with — letting me know when he was coming and going and cleaning up daily. In short, I can’t recommend Ryan any higher. He’s a true craftsman who can do just about anything — and a nice guy to boot. If you are thinking about hiring him, do it. You’ll be so pleased that you did.
