Testimonials

I am writing to share with you our experience working with R&R Construction. In May of 2016 a storm blew through Highland and upended our 100 yr old pecan tree. It smashed our solid brick 3 car garage. There was only one wall left standing and even it was leaning. Even the foundation was cracked. One of our vehicles was pinned inside. Our insurance company sent out a contractor from St. Louis to write up a bid to rebuild it. The only problem was, we live in one of the historic Schott Brewery houses and there are tunnels underneath our garage. The St. Louis contractor was completely afraid to work on the project. Two months went by and our rubble remained…and our car was still stuck. In frustration I reached out to several Highland contractors. Rob, of R&R Construction was actually recommended by some of the larger firms that I contacted. They focused on multi-million dollar projects and advised that I seek out a home builder. When I checked with the city for a demolition permit (to rescue our car) the city worker told me, “You will be very happy with R&R construction, they are very good at communicating and doing things on time.” and boy were they right. We are not exactly new to construction. We built a house in California several years ago. We know about delays, problems with sub-contractors, issues with permits, even world events can effect supply chains. Been there, done that. We had NONE of those issues with R&R construction. Rob always does what he says and keeps to schedule. Once we jumped through the hoops of getting our insurance payments Rob’s crew was on it. What surprised me was that not only was Rob’s crew here every day for about 4 weeks, but Rob was here too. I’d come home from the coffee shop and there he was, up there on the hill, inspecting the work of his crew. His workers were very friendly and respectful too. They showed up like clock work, every day as the sun came up. They took lunch around 10:30 am and finished the day’s work by 5:00 pm. They even work in the rain. He literally had this entire project (with MASSIVE demolition) done in about 6 weeks. My neighbors were absolutely amazed. I had no idea a foundation could be poured so quickly. It looks like a basement really, with the concrete walls going up about 4 ft since the garage is cut into a hill.
Rob works with amazing subcontractors too. Aviston Lumber was amazing. They gave me the drawings of our project and walked me through all of the options in my doors and windows. I even found an Aviston guy out there the other day cleaning a window that got dirtied by the brick layers! He was literally out there with some sort of solution washing the frame. I told him I really didn’t care of there was a brown spot on the exterior of one window, but he insisted on cleaning it. The brick guys were pretty awesome. The finished everything in three days, including my chimney. The brick guys even washed the bricks after they were done. They spent about a half a day scrubbing the walls.
So, if you are looking for a SUPER fast contractor that does what he says in the time he says, and stays on budget look no further. Rob Wutzler is your man.

When I started looking into building a house the most important things to me was to find someone quick, affordable, good quality, and someone who could build a house to my liking.  I had to move as soon as possible, but was tired of looking for houses and them falling through.  That’s when I met with Rob of R and R New Home Construction.  The first time I talked to Rob I told him what I was looking for and how I was on a time limit. He was confident he would be able to help me with everything I needed.  I was able to modify one of the floor plans he brought with him the first time we met, and customize it so it would fit my family’s needs and vision perfectly.   Rob was always a text away during the whole building process and made everything go by smoothly. There was little to no stress involved, great craftsmanship, my house was affordable, and the timeliness unheard of…The first time we met was October 18th and I was moved into my house by January 15th as he had promised.  You can’t get much quicker than that.  We love our house and highly recommend R and R!

I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the work you have done for my wife and I.

When my wife and I decided to build a house I started talking to a lot of contractors. After reading a testimonial on your website and meeting you in person I knew you were the one I wanted to build a house with. “Man am I glad I gave you the chance.”

Great people, always answers the phone, and if not always calls you back, within a short time frame. I am especially grateful for the way you coordinated with the other contractors and myself, which was highly beneficial to the successful and timely completion of our new home.

I will have no hesitation in employing R&R New Home Construction on future projects and therefore look forward to working with you again; it was a pleasure working with you and your team, demonstrating a positive “can and will do approach” throughout.

In conclusion, please forward my thanks to your team for their contribution to making this dream home a reality.

We were in a bind and needed to start building soon, when we called Rob last fall to see if he could help us.  We thought it was a long shot, but he came through and they were able to start our home within a couple of months.  Rob’s process from start to finish is simple and efficient. Everything came in on budget and there were no surprises or extra costs once it was complete.   He explained everything from the start, and kept in touch every step of the way.  Rob was very easy to communicate with, just  a text or a phone call away and always returned calls promptly. This was our first time building, so we were uncertain about a lot of things and he was very patient with us and all of our questions!  The companies we were referred to  were great to work with, and were very helpful with al the choices that had to be made.  We are very pleased with our custom  home and Rob made the process of building  a great experience, much better than we expected!

When we began discussing building a home, we had many questions. Rob took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us to lay out a timeline and budget that allowed us to build exactly the home we imagined. Rob’s responsiveness gave us the peace of mind that we could contact him at anytime throughout the process. Our new construction is beautiful and was completed on time and within budget. We are so happy with our new family home!

My wife Judy and I bought 2 acres of wooded land outside Highland a few years ago with the dream of building our retirement home. When the time came to build, we had no idea about the building process much less finding a builder. We checked out several builders websites and after reading all the wonderful testimonials and viewing the custom homes that R&R New Home Construction had built, we gave Rob a call and I can tell you we were not disappointed!

He met us out at our land and walked us through the building process and answered all our questions. After we finished, we shook hands and we had a deal. Rob believes, like me, that a man’s handshake is his word.

R&R New Home Construction has a wonderful team that impressed us from start to finish. We didn’t really have a firm floor plan but we had a couple of plans we liked. Rob’s designer was able to combine the two plans and give us the blueprint for the home we dreamed of all these years.

R&R also uses topnotch vendors for flooring, lighting, cabinets, plumbing, and everything else that goes into building a home. Everyone we worked with was friendly, professional, and competent.

I’m retired so when the actual building started, I was able to visit the job site almost every day. I got to know almost everyone that worked on the house from the basement to the roof and I can tell you they are amazing craftsmen and treat your home as if they were building for their own family.

So, if you’re thinking about building a custom home, we highly recommend R&R New Home Construction for a wonderful experience and a well built, quality home.
