They fit me into their schedule (earlier than expected) knowing that I needed fencing to keep my dogs in my yard. Very efficient and professional. I highly recommend. ### All 25 reviews **★★★★★ — Susan Raps, Sept. 2024** > The TimberTech decking and railing installed by Clough Construction is magnificent. Truly excellent workmanship, and they care about the end-result and making sure their customers are satisfied. Not only did we appreciate their patience in working with us and answering all of our questions, but we also very much appreciated their willingness to hear our design suggestions and for their creative response. Clough Construction is a "class act," and it's a no-brainer to say that we would hire them again for our next project. **★★★★★ — HU-412631032, Dec. 2023** > Clough Construction produced a beautiful and sturdy result of a new gate/fence to create a side yard for my dog and a replacement gate for the carport entry into the front yard. Everyone on the team was incredibly professional: from the office management, scheduling, foreman, and construction team to the owners, who personally came out to provide the initial walk-through and quote, first day project review and final day walk-through. I even had an opportunity to start the work early due to another cancellation. They were very honest about the timeline and met the quoted goal. It was helpful to have their lookbook to be inspired by the look/feel as I was only clear about the function required. I’d contact Clough again first for future projects. **★★★★★ — brendamcla, Dec. 2023** > What a great company! I had a small but complicated deck replacement (from the second floor, without posts.) Other companies either wanted an arm and a leg, or didn’t want the job at all. Scott’s first words were, “This is easy.” Then he proceeded to make it so. > > Clough Construction’s expertise and craftsmanship is outstanding. Although ready to do the job as the engineer proposed, Scott suggested a simpler approach which the engineer embraced. Clough handled all the engineering and permit coordination, and a beautiful deck was completed ahead of schedule. Even the town inspector took extra time to note the high quality of the work. > > Everyone at Clough Construction is a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent: frequent, timely and always friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat. The crew even created a rapport with my tenant, which was very helpful. And the job site was always pristine. No sense of living in a construction site. > > To top it off, Clough Construction is dedicated to sustainable, responsible forestry. So my beautiful deck is made of strong, fire-resistant, sustainable wood. I couldn’t ask for more. An excellent experience on every front and a beautiful result. I highly recommend Clough Construction. **★★★★★ — free56dom, Dec. 2023** > I have used Clough Construction several times for fencing projects. Every time they have done exceptional work. They are well organized, show up on time, are extremely easy to work with and the end result is always beyond my expectations. They clearly care about the quality of work that they do. I would highly recommend using them. **Comment from Clough Construction:** > We appreciate your kind words! We really strive to meet all the goals that you mentioned so are thrilled to know that we have exceeded your expectations! We are fortunate to have return customers like you who value quality! Thank you from the whole Clough team! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Harries-Jones, Dec. 2023** > We had a great experience with Clough Construction.... starting from the beginning quote to after the project was completed. We had a complicated two story deck project that was on the 2nd and 3rd floor of our home. It also wrapped around the house to our pool. We needed a solid company with experience that we could trust.. Forest and Jeff were the main guys working on our project and they did an amazing job. Deanne in the front office is so nice and accommodating and kept us up to date with every step of the process and followed up afterwards to make sure we were happy. They were all very professional and very knowledgable with years of experience. They also worked with our pool construction company to ensure everything moved smoothly and it all came together. You really do get what you pay for and we couldn't be happier with our finished deck. We highly recommend Clough Construction. You won't be disappointed. **Comment from Clough Construction:** > It was a pleasure to get to work on your unique project and are stoked that you are so happy with the results! Thank you for being such wonderful customers! **★★★★★ — mark boyle, Dec. 2023** > We couldn't be happier with our new redwood privacy fence! It's a 2-sided slat fence so we enjoy it as much as the neighbors do. We live on a street that can get busy and without the fence we didn't even use the front yard. It was like being in a fishbowl. Now our front yard is a sanctuary and we're out there all the time! The privacy has doubled the outdoor space for us and raised the value of the house. The team at Clough was great! **Comment from Clough Construction:** > We loved building your "outdoor room" and are happy that you are so satisfied with the results. Thanks for being such an awesome customer! The Clough team **★★★★★ — HU-540444613, Dec. 2022** > Clough Construction is the best! Prompt, clean, competitively priced….and their work is beautiful. I’ve use Clough several times and won’t hesitate to use them again. **★★★★★ — laurenavan, Dec. 2022** > Clough Construction recently rebuilt a deck at our home. They were among the most professional, communicative and skillful companies I have ever worked with, bar none. They not only did an impeccable job, but also went out of their way to make the deck usable before completion for a long-planned-for outdoor party. From start to finish, they showed up when they said they would, communicated with clarity and kindness, and finished the work without compromise in record time. Don't need a deck? Hire them anyway; they're that good! **★★★★★ — lgfromm, Dec. 2022** > We just used Clough Construction to complete a beautiful fence for us! We are pleased with the look of the fence and how sturdy it is compared to our old fence. They provided excellent information to our neighbors as well and were available to speak with them about any questions they had since our fence borders two neighbors' properties. The team came when they said they would, and the project was completed on time and on budget. Everyone was very friendly and professional. It was a pleasure to work with Clough Construction and I would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Christine Sleight, Dec. 2022** > Almost 30 years ago, Clough Construction replaced our deck. We were impressed with the quality of their work, their attention to detail, and their commitment to protecting the environment. They really listened to us and the needs we expressed. When the crew saw my 3 year old watching intently, they let her “help.” Pretty sure that’s why she went into construction herself. ;-) Some years later Clough replaced our fence, and we were glad to refer them to a neighbor recently. We and the neighbor are very happy with their work. Last week they added railings to the deck they’d constructed. After the first job, I stopped getting estimates from other people. Why look elsewhere when you’ve met the best? For 3 decades they have produced work with excellent craftsmanship, and behaved with integrity in their business relationships. I would recommend them to anyone. Site won’t let me rate them more than 5 stars, so here are the extras I’d give them: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ **★★★★★ — gaman64, Oct. 2022** > The Clough Team did a great job. They do top notch work and are great to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for fence or deck construction. The crew, Quinn, Salvador, and Michael, were on time, professional and worked hard to get this substantial deck project completed. Appreciate the job that was done at my home. **★★★★★ — HU-44662561, Dec. 2021** > This is the most amazing company!After years of dealing with other contractors,with unsatisfactory results, I was so happy to finally do business with such a responsive and professional company!The team they sent out has built all our fencing, a beautiful gate, and even an arbor, all with the very best materials and skill.I have reffered so many people who have asked who did the beautiful work at our home.Will never use anyone else!! **★★★★★ — HU-117915669, Dec. 2021** > Clough Construction recently installed two beautiful gates on our property. We were absolutely thrilled with the level of professionalism, competence, clarity of communication, and thoroughness of this lovely company. The final product was installed earlier than anticipated and looked better than we had imagined! Clough Construction is simply amazing and I will continue recommending them to everyone I know. Thanks Clough! **★★★★★ — HU-224025677, Oct. 2021** > Words cannot adequately describe my wonderful experience with Clough Construction but here I go! Scott is an artist and creates beautiful, good quality designs. Sessi and Deanne in the office are super nice, honest and go out of their way to answer your questions and concerns about your project. If you're lucky enough to have Fakuno and a Hugo working on your project, you won't be disappointed in the speed, craftsmanship and care they put in at your job site. The estimate for my fence was very accurate and minimally more than other companies I asked to come out despite Clough's portfolio and work being highly superior in my opinion. We have been enjoying our fence for a few months and our Clough fence is one of the best investments we could have asked for. You cannot go wrong with this company and these amazing people. **★★★★★ — donkenbell, Oct. 2021** > Clough just completed two projects for us, a new deck and a new fence. > Both jobs were excellent > Materials used were first class. > Workmanship was excellent. > New design ideas were terrific. > All workers were very professional. > When final work was finished, clean-up was thorough. > We couldn't be happier. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > orkmanshiup was excellent. **★★★★★ — tamalvista, Sept. 2020** > I really enjoyed working with Clough Construction. They are experts at what they do, which is building decks and fences. They are extremely easy to work with, professional, and do their work in a clean and timely manner. **★★★★★ — kjt4e, Sept. 2019** > We have had excellent experiences with family-run Clough Construction on a few projects at our house. They are true craftsman who care about quality, doing right by their customers, and producing beautiful redwood projects. They treated our property with respect, always leaving the job site clean and tidy. Communication was excellent; we were always aware of job specifics and on site working hours. They were easy to contact and quick to respond whenever questions arose. Billing was upfront and we were never charged anything that wasn’t expected. We are very pleased with all of their beautiful work and how it has enhanced the beauty of our home. **★★★★★ — estamps, Aug. 2019** > We used Clough Construction to build a wooden fence for us several years ago and they did such a great job, we asked them to repair our elevated wooden parking deck—a job that we wouldn’t trust to just any contractor. We needed a solid repair, one that wouldn’t leave us worrying that the deck might collapse. The repair work exceeded our expectations and we hope to now get a few extra years out of the deck. When we do eventually need a new deck we will certainly call Clough. **★★★★★ — Nancy Hillman, Aug. 2019** > I couldn’t be happier with my new fence and trellis. Super nice staff and construction crew. They got everything done in a couple days a promised and stayed in touch with me throughout the project. They even contacted me after the project was finished to be sure everything was good. **★★★★★ — Irene Cooper, March 2017** > Clough Construction has now done 2 fences for us that marry well with our eichler home. They listened to us and delivered with quality construction and customer service. **★★★★★ — Wendy Sadeh, June 2016** > Clough Construction is a pleasure to work with. > > We had fresh landscaping and were hoping to put off replacing a tricky 3 ft. retaining wall + 6 ft fence. Fate would not have that and our landscaping effort pushed the old fence to the brink. The neighbor we share the fence with is why the saying "tall fences make good neighbors" was invented (i.e. cranky). > > Scott Clough (co-owner) is a real professional, he met with me and my neighbor and deftly smoothed out the rough edges before the project started. The crew that worked on our job was skilled, professional and left a tidy worksite each night. The job was not easy as they had to navigate fresh planting and a downward slope that ended at the seam between the fence and the retaining wall. The crew foreman communicated the status of the project each night so we knew what to expect at every step. Deanne Clough (co-owner) is the friendly voice at the other end of the phone scheduling the project and following up with me after the project was done to make sure I am satisfied. > > The end result is a beautiful retaining wall + fence created with sustainably harvested wood. I couldn't be happier and I would whole-heartedly recommend Clough Construction. **★★★★★ — Georgie Craig, March 2016** > Clough Construction to the rescue! We had a dangerous deck and a killer view of Mt. Tam. Clough came in and built our dream deck. Now we enjoy our dream view, even in the rain. Clough was creative, communicative, collaborative, and consummate professionals. The design was a joint project, with Clough listening and incorporating our desires. The crew was prompt, professional, and kind. They even took care of my dog when I was at work. the result is an amazing deck that we use every day. I would hire Clough Construction for any contracting service they provide. I cannot more highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Van Midde Concrete, March 2016** > Deanne and Scott run one of the finest fence and deck construction companies in the North Bay. We have worked together with their firm, Clough Construction on numerous jobs. The quality of workmanship of their employees ensures an excellent result. I always recommend them when asked who to use when someone wants the name of a fence and deck contractor. Deanne is highly versed in the use of sustainable wood products. She makes it a point to direct her clients to materials that were harvested with sustainability in mind. Choosing Clough Construction to build your fence or deck will guarantee a quality job that will make any homeowner proud. **★★★★★ — Deborah Knuckey, July 2014** > We have been very happy with Clough - they built a fence for our property, fixed a poorly constructed deck and shored u a structural issue under our house, and are in the midst of rebuilding our large deck. They have been consistently professional, pleasant to work with and are happy to discuss options to help you find the right solution for your budget. ## Selected projects - [Pacheco Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacheco-villa-pj-vj~7229423) - Location: Novato, CA - Photos: 12 - Description: Magnificent Private Estate in Novato, California with pristine landscaping, excellent views and purposefully designed outdoor living spaces. - [Wood Oasis in Mill Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-oasis-in-mill-valley-pj-vj~6888193) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 11 - [Lookout Deck in San Rafael](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lookout-deck-in-san-rafael-pj-vj~6955699) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: Back yard deck extends outdoor living area for Dominican neighborhood home. - [Sanctuary in Kentfield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sanctuary-in-kentfield-pj-vj~6888206) - Location: Kentfield, CA - Photos: 8 - [Magnificent Deck Worthy of the View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magnificent-deck-worthy-of-the-view-pj-vj~6956546) - Location: Kentfield, CA - Photos: 13 - [Home of the Horizontal Fence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-of-the-horizontal-fence-pj-vj~6189447) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 24 - Description: Marin County homes beautifully updated with modern horizontal wood fencing around the garden and property.
