Report
Had Trace and Charlie perform multiple projects at my home. First up was a 40 foot retaining wall behind my above-ground pool. Trace completed this within a week and the wall looks great. He worked with me to find stone that matched my driveway retaining walls which were installed about 8 years ago. Next was a 1200 sq ft outdoor living area consisting of a new main deck, connected pool deck, hot tub area with gazebo and a new mud room (which replaced an old concrete landing). The design and construction were excellent and Trace communicated with me through all phases of the project. I'm very picky

Blough Contracting just finished a screened porch for us. Communication was very good and we are thrilled with the results. We had one problem and the owner handled it in the best way possible and made it right quickly. If you are looking for a contractor with old fashioned honesty and integrity, you just found him.

I have used Blough Contracting on 3 different projects: A retaining wall, a set of large wooden steps, and a new concrete sidewalk and resurfaced patio. All 3 projects turned out exceptionally well! We're thrilled with how everything turned out, the communication with Tracy, the owner, and also the cost. I highly recommend him!
