Tom was extremely meticulous throughout every step of our kitchen remodel. From start to finish, we had complete faith and trust in him and his crew - even feeling comfortable leaving them in our home while we were away. > The project stayed on schedule, and the final result exceeded our expectations. Tom is incredibly thorough and truly pays attention to the smallest details. Because we were living in our home during construction, I especially appreciated how consistently he cleaned up the workspace each day. > When I casually mentioned how dark our back room felt, Tom immediately had a solution and within days he had a sun tunnel installed. This has made a huge difference! He was also proactive in recommending updates to some of our kitchen plumbing to help prevent future water issues, which we greatly appreciated. > His meticulous workmanship was evident when we passed all inspections with ease. Tom does beautiful work, operates with integrity, and clearly takes pride in what he does. I highly recommend him without hesitation. **★★★★★ — rebecca2004, March 2026** > Tom has remodeled a living room wall including installing stone from floor to ceiling surrounding the fireplace. He remodeled our kitchen which included refacing the cabinets and installing slow close doors and roll out shelves, along with new countertop and sink. The complete remodel of the master bath involved removing an existing tub, enlarging the shower, and adding additional custom cabinets anlong with anll new flooring and tile. All projects were completed with 100% perfection. He pays attention to all the little details. Being somewhat of a perfectionist myself I appreciate this trait. You only want to do a major project once. We would not consider any other builder for any future projects. **★★★★★ — dnldenver, Sept. 2021** > Tom built us an incredible kitchen & dining room addition on our home this year. He could see our very unique vision & had great ideas to enhance our vision as well. He was faced with many challenges he’d not seen before because of our older home & also some of the mid century materials we chose to use, but he took it in stride & was always up for the challenges! Tom is not only an extreme perfectionist but one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He’s very thoughtful, proactive, super respectful of us & our home & definitely a neat & tidy person. His work space was cleaned up constantly at the end of each day & throughout the day as well which I was very impressed by. Our kitchen & dining room turned out AMAZING & we couldn’t be happier. After spending nearly every day for 8 months with a person (it was a big project), you learn a lot. We would hire Tom back in a heartbeat & recommend him to everyone! **Comment from Rusch Residential Construction Specialist:** > Always appreciate the opportunity to work with homeowners that have a real interest in the project from start to finish! I thank you both for this opportunity... **★★★★★ — Ann Nestor, Dec. 2017** > Tom has done a lot of work for over twenty five years at our home. His work is excellent. He can do anything and do it very well! He did both major remodeling, as well as smaller fix it projects. Also, he is just a nice guy and easy to have in our home. Highly recommend you use his services! **Comment from Rusch Residential Construction Specialist:** > Thank you Ann Nestor, It's a pleasure to work with you and David! **★★★★★ — Tracy Postle, Nov. 2017** > A remodel of my dining room into a playroom/library was done including closing off two walls, installing custom cabinetry, a wall of shiplap and a custom toy storage bench and chalkboard. Tom did an exceptional job, was very timely, informative and a pleasure to work with, I will definitely be using his services again for future projects. **★★★★★ — Abbey Chantala, Jan. 2017** > Tom has completed 2 projects for us, 6/2015 he gutted my master bathroom and turned it in to a place that I love spending time in, I use to hurry to get out of it in the mornings but now I find myself enjoying the huge walk in shower and custom built cabinets and vanities. I enjoy putting on my makeup in the wonderful lighted area. the tile work Tom did was beyond the best I have ever seen. > 4/2016 The next project he did was remove a fireplace from our living room and cut the wall back to match with the rest of the house and it looks fantastic. you cannot tell at all that anything was removed the ceiling and walls match perfect. > Tom is extremely knowledgeable and takes great pride in his work, he always cleaned the project area and helped me under stand that there is more then just the cosmetic side of a remodel. He made sure everything I wanted was address. > We felt Tom's prices were very reasonable for the quality of work he does. We have several projects over the next few years we will be doing and Tom will be our only choice to do them for us. Tom can be counted on to do what he says he will **★★★★★ — Dejaeger Design & Construction, Jan. 2017** > As an architect and custom home builder I have worked with Tom at Rusch Residential Construction on various projects over the years. The scope of work varied from small remodels to the construction of high-end custom homes. I have always found Tom to be the consummate professional - very skilled at his trade, detail oriented, and a perfectionist. > I would highly recommend Rusch Residential Construction. **★★★★★ — Mike & Zshawn Jessie, Jan. 2017** > We used Tom's company to do quite a bit of renovations to our home. We quickly learned to trust him and give him a key to the house. The work was always completed on time and on budget. The only downside was the smell of some of the varnish, which was definitely not his fault. But other than that the work was always 100% beautiful and professional. We have since sold the house and do not have pictures of the work. **★★★★★ — Sharp Design & Construction, Jan. 2017** > Rusch Residential Construction Specialist did work on a custom oak stair way and iron baluster handrail that turned out remarkable and at a very reasonable cost. Thier work on a custom wine cellar and basement finish unbelievable. **★★★★★ — M Griffes, Jan. 2017** > I have had Tom come do a couple of projects for me. I am extremely impressed with how competent he is, skilled, great attention to detail, prepared and collaborative. I have done some residential remodel projects and being able to know that each job is done properly is critical as I document everything. I like to know that that both invisible and visible tasks are high quality. He is also prepared, very pleasant, polite and leaves the job site clean and tidy. I hope to work with him further. **★★★★★ — mdacra86, Jan. 2017** > We hired Rusch Residential Construction Special to remodel 3 bathrooms in our home. The bathrooms are just beautiful!!! The owner Tom and his team were amazing and very easy to work with. In addition, the project was completed on time and on budget. Tom has vast amount of experience that helped create the project we dreamed about from design through construction. ## Selected projects - [Nest Kitchen Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nest-kitchen-project-pj-vj~2299652) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Dell Counter Upgrades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dell-counter-upgrades-pj-vj~2267700) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Countertop templates.
