Robertson Builders

We used Dusty and Chad Robertson of Robertson Builders for our first remodel project several years ago. The kitchen project was seamless and surpassed our expectations. Therefore, when we were ready to start the bathroom remodels, we contacted them again. Finally, we decided to replace and upgrade our fireplace and mantle. Every aspect of each job met our expectations. The crews were professional, accommodating, respectful, clean and orderly, and finished the projects within the timeframe given. I highly recommend Robertson Construction if you are looking for exceptional work. I’ve referred them to many friends. You won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I had our 3,000 square foot ranch house renovated by the Robertson Builders, Chad and Dusty, who are brothers. Chad was in the office, and Dusty was in the field; this is a family business that does residential remodeling. The house was 30 years old and needed upgrading from builder grade to designer grade materials. We focused on the kitchen, and master bath, jack and jill bath, and half-bath. Still, every room got painted, new drapes, and new or refinished flooring. It took 14 months to complete, but we had a dispute, and while amicably resolved, it took some time for the disputed job to be redone and progress to be rescheduled, thus the lengthy timing. Also, we had the downstairs renovated first while we lived upstairs in a granny flat, and then the upstairs renovated while we lived downstairs in our renovated rooms, and then the pandemic hit. The price was competitive, which we discovered by interviewing 5 general contractors, and the brothers stuck to our budget. What kind of experience do they have? When we asked for 3 references, they gave us 3 pages of references. We checked that they are licensed and carry insurance. They respected our design plans (as we provided cad-like drawings that we prepared ourselves based on blue-prints of the house) and helped us find alternatives when choosing products, appliances, and materials. They charged for work completed and acted patiently when one of our first checks seemed to “bounce.” Their sub-contractors worked professionally and interacted with us respectfully. The brothers were agreeable to us sub-contracting some work with their sub-contractors ourselves. The site was kept clean. The brothers were obsessive about staying in touch and kept contact by email based on our preferences. We highly recommend doing business with the Robertson Brothers and plan to hire them again in the future when we downsize to a bungalow.

We couldn't be happier with our new remodel. Robertson Builders have an artistic eye and professional business ethic. Chad, Dusty and the rest of the guys were courteous and conscientious. Whenever an inevitable problem arises, they are here in a timely manner and take care of things, even after 2 years! Thanks so much guys. The compliments we get from others is great, but the everyday living experience is even better!

You guys are awesome , couldn't recommend other people to do the job ,you stand to hwhat have you said ,on how your company do

My wife and I had the good fortune to find and use Robertson’s Builders to build our dream home in Arroyo Grande. We have only the most positive things to say about Chad, Dusty and the rest of the Robertson’s crew and staff. We found the Robertson’s team to be very professional, great communicators and provided a high quality level of workmanship. To summarize, we could not be happier than we are with the experience we had with Robertson’s Builders, and we highly recommend Chad, Dusty and their crew without reservation for any project you might have in mind.

Robertson Builders did an outstanding job on a major remodel project on our 120 yr. old Victorian, which involved a demolition of some existing structure, rebuilding a 3-story extension from the foundation up and remodeling the kitchen. Everyone working for Robertson, including their hand-picked subs, conduct themselves as true professionals and did high quality work. It was a pleasure to work with them and I have already hired them to do some follow-up work.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Robertson Builders. Our architect, Bryce Engstrom, recommended Robertson as a possible contractor to complete a face lift on the front of our house and adjacent guest house. The work included demolition of all brick, vents and hardi-board on the front of the house (basically a complete stripping of the entire exterior façade), installation of new stone, hardi-board, corbels, vents, windows, gutters, downspouts, and an extensive remodel of the entrance to our house which included a new roofed entry with stone pillars and a new sidewalk. Chad Robertson provided an itemized estimate of labor and materials and kept us up-to-date on any possible changes to those costs (which are inevitable with a remodel). We never experienced a surprise throughout the whole construction period. Dusty Robertson managed the construction and oversaw a crew of carpenters, painters and laborers. Specifically, Nathan, Brad and Jason were not just carpenters but rather exceptionally talented craftsman, meticulous in their detail work and very easy to deal with (which is important, since they were with us 4 months). Vince was a very competent painter and did excellent detail work. Chris was a jack-of-all trades, with a great sense of humor and a hard working guy. All were a pleasure to work with. Gary Bailey Masonry, a subcontractor of Robertson’s, did the stone work on the project and his mason, Rick, did outstanding work. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Dusty was always mindful of costs, paid attention to the finest of details and regularly communicated with us on the myriad of topics related to the project. At one point, when our roofing work was still unfinished, he came to our house on a Sunday on his own initiative and installed temporary gutters and downspouts because rain was forecasted for the next day. This is only one example of the many times Dusty went above and beyond what one would normally expect from a contractor. We are grateful for his thoughtfulness and consideration throughout the whole constructions time.

Our overall project was a kitchen, dining room and family room remodel. Our home is a mid-1980s home. We wanted to provide less confined spaces but retain the essential areas with subtle definitions of the 3 rooms. Robertson Builders worked with San Luis Kitchen Co. to design the kitchen space. From that design, the dining and family rooms were then phased into the work. Initially the project was estimated to last 8-10 weeks, but due to increased scope of the project, it lasted 13 weeks. Work performed included demolition of the kitchen area, electrical and plumbing modifications, new kitchen window and relocation of kitchen door into garage, stucco work, wood floor patching and resurfacing, kitchen wall board and total re-texturing of all rooms, painting, Additional work included a skylight in the kitchen, replacement of the slider, and refacing the existing used brick fireplace with stacked stonework. Robertson Builders used quality sub-contractors who were courteous, respectful and professional. On the first day of the job, notices to all houses in the neighborhood were distributed to alert residents of potential traffic and dust concerns. They utilized a project manager who did well to keep us informed on upcoming work and when sub-contractors would be on site to do work. From a budgeting perspective, we were provided an initial estimate of the job; it was further broken down into areas of work (eg. demo, electrical, plumbing, painting, etc.). An invoice was generated approximately every three weeks which would report on cost progression in each of the construction areas. Overall, our remodeling budget was exceeded but that was primarily due to increased work scope.

When we chose to convert a 60-year-old rundown beach house in Shell Beach, CA. into a place we could love and, hopefully, retire, we chose Robertson Builders of Arroyo Grande. With two generations of top talent, this company was one we quickly learned to trust . . . especially since we live over 250 miles away. First of all, their reputation of fine workmanship and their ease with customers preceded them. After many thoughtful discussions, we sat back and relaxed as they completely translated our dreams into reality. Their clear attention to detail, their ability to connect us with the best craftsmen in over a fifty-mile radius, (of whom, by the way, were all proud to be working with the Robertsons) and their undaunted patience and kindness with all the changes we threw into the mix, made our experience a treasured one. We can easily and whole-heartedly recommend Robertson Builders for any of your projects, big or small. You can completely rely on them. (We will miss seeing them around.)

I have been working with Roberston Builders nearly continuously on a string of different projects for the past several years and would highly recommend then to anyone. They represent generations of family builders and have a vast array of experience in both residential and commercial projects. They bring a very professional level of attention to detail, both in terms of aesthetics and construction, as well as in contracts and budgets. They are the kind of contractor I like to work with in close coordination with clients from the very beginning of a project whenever possible.
