What Our Clients Have to Say

  • Richard Hughes | New Patio

    “Straume Contracting did a wonderful job on our new back porch. The porch was exactly as it was drawn out and completed shortly after promised. The price for the work done was about what I would expect.”

  • Luke Metaxas | New Fencing

    “We hired Straume contracting to help install a fence in our backyard. They offered a fair price and completed the fence on schedule. We love our fence and had a great experience working with Keith on this project. Highly recommend!”

  • Cliff Grunstra | Crawl Space, Gutters, Garage Door

    “Keith is amazing, literally. This guy got us new 6" gutters with leaf guard and downspouts/popups, a brand new garage door and motor, and an encapsulated and conditioned crawl space for less then just the crawl space would have cost if we went with one of the other guys. Work was high quality and completed in record time over the holidays. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

  • Mary Moran | Basement Repair

    “I had leaks in two places in my basement almost from the day I took possession of my home from the builder. Numerous attempts to repair the problem failed. When Straume Construction examined the problem, a more thorough repair job was planned that would get to the basis of the problem. Keith the owner was a very knowledgeable professional and kept in close supervision with his workers who were very able and hard working. They started the job on time and completed it without delay. Very importantly, the cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Straume Construction.”
