We hired Rust to build a portico for our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. They helped refine the design, walked us through all the details, and kept us updated throughout the process. The crew was punctual, respectful, and meticulous. The finished portico looks incredible and has added so much charm and value to our house. Highly recommend—five stars!
The best experience with Rust Construction. They were true partners in helping us redo our deck: scoping the right project for our needs, doing excellent work, and communicating constantly through the process. We’re thrilled!
We found Rust Construction to be the best general contractor we’ve worked with. Rust built a penthouse structure on our fourth floor terrace to accommodate the extension of our elevator, replaced our outdoor gas fireplace and moved our outdoor kitchen including retiling, and installed our outdoor tv. The project manager, Chad Ruiz, treated our home as his and his attention to detail and desire to making sure work was done correctly and met/exceeded our expectations. We were kept informed regularly, subs were managed very well, job site was cleaned up daily, and any issues that arose were met with a no shortcuts/problem solving attitude. We found Chad/Rust Construction to be honest, straight forward, trustworthy and they did what they said they would do with a sense of humor.Condo unit owners in Vienna, VAJuly 2025
I couldn’t be happier with Rust as a company or Mandel as PM. They took on my “little” job of a tiny powder room on the main level of a 1940 row home. While smaller scope than most of their projects, they approached it with the same professionalism and serious management that one would expect from a major renovation. There were some quite challenging plumbing and structural aspects to putting the PR where none was before/not near any existing plumbing lines in the home, and adhering to code with creative ingenuity. The team was serious, attentive to every detail, tidy, professional. They were successful in not impacting areas I was worried about: they damaged only the totally necessary amount of existing tile in the basement so I had enough to replace, and they did no damage to an existing window bench right in the middle of the work space, they protected all around the work area. The fantastic carpentry and finishing work makes it look like the PR was always there! They worked through each and every wrinkle that came up, were communicative, responsive and exceptionally professional. And did I mention that they finished ahead of schedule and the result is fabulous?
Rust Construction did an amazing job building a stunning porch and deck that has transformed our 100 year old house. We have received many compliments on the porch and deck from friends and neighbors. They also did a fantastic job on a bathroom renovation. Their attention to detail makes all the difference, and they are very easy to work with as well. I highly recommend them!
