Backyard fencing, gates and planters

Rawlinson Carpentry (RC) just completed my backyard project which included fence work, new gates and large planters. I couldn't be happier with the work that was done, with them as people, and with the price.
RC was one of a number of fence builders that I contacted in 2016 but it was too late in the season and everyone was booked. But I remembered my phone conversation with RC and being impressed by their friendliness and confidence in the quality of their work and pricing. So I naturally contacted them very early in 2017 along with 2 other companies for quotes. And it turned out my impression was accurate - their price was the lowest and they spent the most time with me thoroughly explaining the work in detail.
As the work was being completed, they were true gentlemen, respectful and professional. They kept me informed throughout the job and made sure I knew what was being done before it was done. Every day they left my backyard spotless. That is what I call pride in workmanship.

Joan, Thank you so much for this detailed and great review of 'the difference' we try to make at R.C.
And to hear also that we were the lowest priced quote is also fabulous to see that we work very hard and count on experience, to make sure our quotes are the most competitive in our fields, whilst making sure the customer is constantly informed, and treated with proper service, which is lacking today with so many others. Thank you so much and enjoy the yard makeover Joan and have a wonderful summer!

Rooftop deck

Had the pleasure of hiring Tom and Tom to do a rooftop deck project. Tom clearly communicated timelines, the design and construction of the deck and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. Kept the worksite clean and was courteous throughout the project, and most importantly, very happy with the end-product so far.

Would definitely hire Tom again for future projects.

Repaired upper deck, built a new lower deck and a shed

Tom and Tom did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them for your deck project. I received 3 quotes and Tom's quote was very competitive but what stood out the most was Tom's knowledge and attention to details as evidenced by his detailed itemized quote. During the project Tom would keep us up to date on progress as well as consult with us when design changes were needed or requested. The arrived promptly and left a very clean site.
Again, I would highly recommend Rawlinson Carpentry!

Gina (and the boys) It was a True pleasure to serve you guys! And we were proud to 'turn your backyard around' and bring in some real workmanship and quality deck work with repairs to the old improperly built existing upper deck, the all new Sienna lower deck, and the custom shed built for less than what most kits are priced at! So that now you can enjoy the yard of your dreams for years to come. Please do tell all about us.....family, friends and co-workers and on behalf of Tom the apprentice and I, here's wishing you, Carvell and Zachary all the very best and please do stay in touch!

Ms. Huckle, it was a very enjoyable experience to serve you and I am so glad that you liked our work and love your new fence! No one in this big city builds a better fence or deck than we do, and we do it for less! It was an honor and a privilege to work with you, and I hope you have a wonderful summer season and please do stay in touch!

Backyard Staircase and Landing

I would highly recommend Tom to anyone!! He did a meticulous, excellent job replacing out backyard staircase and landing. I have never worked with someone as professional - though I was not onsite - he called me and walked me through the process and their process several times throughout the day. Their cost and the ultimate product was great and they left our property cleaner than before they arrived :) We would certainly use them again.

Thanks so much Cindy for this fabulous review!

At R.C, stairs and landings (and Decks) are our specialty and have been for many years! No one 'does it better or for less' than R.C !

And I was glad to be able to repair the area's in question, and be able to save you the larger cost of doing 'all new' stairs and landings, another plus in having an honest tradesman serving you!

I do hope you stay in touch and that you have a wonderful summer season Cindy, and thank you again for taking the time to do this review!

***Would Give an 11***

Thomas, and his apprentice Tom, of Rawlinson Carpentry, are outstanding. Jobs are quoted professionally (make sure all items you want are included), and the quote is the cost - no surprises. Workmanship is second to none! Job site immaculate at the end of each day. Many little "add ons" done at Tom's cost to ensure satisfaction. 14 fence reposts (sagging fence) - old cement and posts moved to the dump, 3 listing block walls torn down and professionally rebuilt. The backyard has been resurrected from a tired eyesore to original beauty. Stop the hunt; get the Rawlinson boys, you will never be disappointed. Everything they touch turns to gold - real carpentry alchemists.

Fence relocation

Tom did some work for us in 2015 and we were glad he was able to accommodate our schedule for an additional project in 2016 - happy to have him back. Project completed and as last time, left everything very tidy!

Thank you so much SK for taking the time to do this additional review of our 2nd job done for you and our first review of our 2016 season ! We were glad to do this relocation for you, as 'precision is our thing' and the location of any shared property line fence is an important issue for all homeowners to consider when hiring someone or deciding to tackle the job themselves. As an improperly located fence could and can cause serious issues and/or ramifications. It again, was a pleasure to serve you both and here's wishing you the very best and thank you again for this great and 2nd review.

Fence, Deck, Storage Shed, Clearing of bushes

Tom & Tom make a great team. I hired them to build us a fence, a shed and to repair our deck. I also had them clear up our backyard which almost looked like a mini jungle since we could not keep up with all the gardening due to our busy work schedules.
It was a huge endeavour but all worth the wait and at a very good price because now, not only do we have a wonderful fence around our yard for safety and privacy, but we also have added storage space with the equally well-designed and crafted barn shed. My wife is also pleased that we can now go out from the confines of our house and appreciate the backyard with our beautiful deck and a clean slate to start with. As the old saying goes, “happy wife, happy life!”
Now we start the task of brainstorming on how to best design the empty (devoid of wild bushes) backyard in order to create a combination of functionality and a relaxing ambience after a hard day’s work.
Thanks for everything, Tom & Tom. We wish you both well in all your future endeavours.
