From Clients
Reputation is built one commission at a time.
“Our architect specified a clean vinyl profile to satisfy the HOA without flattening the elevation. Red Squirrel produced the submittal package, got it approved on the first pass, and the install was tidy enough that our GC reused the crew on the neighbor's project.”
“We took four bids for the cedar fence. Red Squirrel was not the cheapest. They were the only ones who walked the line with us, asked about the grain direction we wanted, and specified the footing depth in writing. Three seasons in and the top rail is still dead straight.”
“Half the back fence had lifted after a hard winter. They reset four posts, rehung the gate, and restained the run so the repair disappeared into the original. Could have pushed a replacement. Didn't.”
“We have a horse property and inherited a mess of mismatched fencing. Red Squirrel redid the perimeter in post and rail, ran cedar privacy closer to the house, and tied the whole thing together. They understood what a working property actually needs.”
“We needed the ornamental steel to return into the historic stone pilasters without looking grafted on. They drew three details, we picked one, and that is what got built. Craftsmanship and patience.”
