"Working with Tavo's Construction was such a positive experience. They listened to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and kept me updated the whole way through. The final result turned out even better than I imagined. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and the work they deliver. I’m grateful for their professionalism and kindness, and I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects."

"Tavos construction is great to get you’re irrigation work done I do the plumbing connections he does the rest and also has a lot of services he does I definitely recommend him on any of you’re projects!"

"Great experience from start to finish! Tavo was incredible and really helped guide me through the decisions for my paver patio installation. The crew did amazing work, and Frank did a great job leading the way. Everything turned out better than expected. Although the pricing is on the higher end, the quality of the work absolutely justifies the cost. Highly recommend!"

"We have used Tavo construction on many jobs for many years. Excellent communication and service, great crew to work with. I highly recommend them for your next patio or outdoor space as well as interior work. Riccon construction trusts Tavo construction with all of our hardscaping.Every job is completed on time and within budget."

"Tavo’s Construction provided reliable, high-quality service for our exterior hardscape project. Their team demonstrated strong project management, clear communication, and excellent craftsmanship, Although there was unexpected delays and add ons he was able to solve them immediately. We would confidently recommend them for your future home projects."

"Tavo keeps up our tiny patio and always leaves it clean."

"Tavo’s Construction is absolutely the best choice for all your exterior needs! Tavo’s professionalism is nothing, but outstanding. Tavo is informative, genuine, and easy to work with from start to finish. The results in my home are a step above what I was expecting. He is thorough, knowledgeable and explains clearly the expectation of the job. One thing I truly appreciated is how transparent he is regarding the costs and what the labor/materials it entails. He presented a variety of options that complimented our homes’ needs. In the near future, we will continue to utilize their services as you can tell they really care about quality and doing the job properly. I highly recommend."

"Excellent and high quality work! Flexible, on time, communicates with you on progress."

"We've been there... calling contractors, getting ghosted on bids or appointments, on our home remodel project over the few years. But Tavos Construction, who was recommended to us by Natural Lighting, impressed us from the very beginning when we started planning for a new pergola and deck. I was very pleased that Tavos returned every call/text we placed to them as we solidified our plans, even going as far as to personally meet us at locations to source materials. We hadn't even committed to them and yet their dedication was unmatched by anthing we've seen previously. And I will always be thankful to Tavos questioning whether we really wanted to go with a deck. We ended up hiring them to install pavers instead of deck with our pergola and I couldn't be happier with the aesthetics and not having to maintain a deck in the future. In addition, their team removed the old cement patio, which exposed additional problems with supporting wall wood rot and an abandoned septic tank we didn't know about. Despite the additional surprises, Tavos helped us through the issues and we have a much better home as a result. Whenever there was a potential issue that appeared hopeless, Tavos knew what to do and knew others in the industry to provide solutions. I can't recommend this company enough to my friends and peers. They've earned my trust and their quality of work is top-notch. I've had issues with other companies in the past (looking at you, Albert Lee), but Tavos absolutely took care of us and then some. Without a doubt, we will be hiring them again for future projects. No need to look elsewhere any more for other contractors... their service was worth every penny."

"High quality, timely work. Tavo helped us from start to finish, picking out pavers, the best deal on a shed, and much more. As important as the work itself, the communication was great. Not overdone but timely and pertinent Price was very competitive as well. We were so pleased that we have Tavo scheduled for more work in our yard"

"Would work with again without hesitation & highly recommend!"

"I hired Tavos and his crew to come out and rebuild a retaining wall that was built incorrectly by a previous contractor. Tavos was able to evaluate the property and come up with a great plan to deconstruct and replace 200 feet of retaining wall and fence line. Almost all of the work had to be done by hand because of space constraints. The crew did a fantastic job, they were here for 6 weeks, always on time, left the property and the street in front of our house clean and swept everyday. Never left build materials in the driveway, everything was ordered and used the day they needed it. He warranties his work, stayed within the budget and was always available to answer any questions or concerns i had throughout the build. Thank you Tavos for a job well done."

"Tavo did a great job on our front yard landscaping. He kept up really good communication along the way and he gave us good suggestions when we were planning the project to make the space work the best for our needs. Very happy with the work with the work he and his crew did!"

"Great looking finished product. Complete renovation of our yard, including removal of existing plants and retaining walls, new retaining walls, pavers, deck, sod, sprinkler system, plants, fences, etc. We plan to use Tavo this spring to renovate the other side of our yard."

"I called Tavo in need of some snow removal service and he was able to come the same day and saved me as we just moved into a new house and didn’t expect the snow. Will for sure be using Tavo’s services in the future. Thanks guys"

"From the first meeting to the end of the project, they demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Tavo listened to our wants and came up with an ideas to meet our expectations. The crew did good work and we helped them refocus when some minor changes were needed. The total project was approx. 1800 sf of paver blocks including pathways and a backyard. The crew would ask at the end of the day if I was pleased with the work and answered any questions or concerns I had. Great crew, great job, employees were courteous, hardworking, experienced and thoughtful. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends."

"I have used Tavo for a few projects now and would recommend him to anyone with outdoor project needs. They were punctual, efficient, and periodically checked in with me to make sure they were meeting expectations. It's obvious that reputation is important to this company, and I have referred them several times now."

"Tavo has great communication with his customers and has a hardworking team. His work is beautiful, and he always puts the customers needs first."

"They replaced my backyard fence and main gate. I am pleased with the result and they are professional."

"I called because of a Sprinkler issue. Gustavo came very quickly (on a Saturday!) because of water gushing out of my broken sprinkler. Very knowledgeable and educated us on how to fix the issue. Will definitely use again in the future! 5 stars!"

"Tavo is an incredibly talented individual that worked on the fireplace and entry way tile and many other projects in my house. He is always super responsive, detailed, does a great job and runs a very clean work site. I would highly recommend him and would ask him to come back over and over again. Whenever I need something done in our house, I always call Tavo."

"Wonderful personality, friendly and detail oriented. Humble team and good communication. Strongly recommended!"

"Tavo is for sure Five Stars. He returned my call within an hour of my request for a bid. The bid was in my hands within 24 hours. The scheduling was within a few days. He understood what we wanted and communicated well. No disruption and clean up was complete! We would recommend him whole-heartedly."

"Very hard working family ran business. Friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. If you’re looking for a contractor I highly recommend you give Tavo a call!"

"Tavi’s Construction did a beautiful job creating a space that we can now enjoy. They leveled ground in our backyard and built a beautiful wall to hold our patio. The patio they built is amazing, so beautiful. The work they do is very impressive and they are a trustworthy and fair company. We will use them time and time again. They came highly recommended from close friends, and we too recommend them"

"Had my fence blow down during a storm. Called over to Tavo’s who was quick to respond and very reliable. He did great work replacing the back fence and the main gate. He was super professional and super friendly. Would highly recommend."

"Tavo and his team are great to work with. Tavo is an extremely professional guy and he understood what we wanted to convey and added to the ideas and helped in making the project better. He is an honest guy and at no point we felt he was trying to upsell us unnecessarily. He understood our budgetary constraints and gave us quotes at 3 different price points and explained to us the pros and cons of each quote. That was super helpful for us. His team is great too. They cleaned up the yard after the project very nicely. No complaints! Happy customer! Definitely will recommend service."

"Tavo is a very hard working and caring person . He takes pride in what he does and all of this reflects in the services he provides. He works closely with his customers and works hard to provide high quality results. Would definitely recommend him for your next project!"

"Tavo’s Construction delivers the kind of quality and professionalism that’s hard to find. From start to finish, the job was handled with clear communication and attention to detail. It’s clear that Tavo takes pride not just in his craftsmanship, but in doing things the right way. He was respectful, honest, and very professional. He asked thoughtful questions that completely shifted my perspective on the design, and the final result turned out even better than I possibly imagined!"

"Tavo has been working at our home for several years now. Interior and Exterior. We are so grateful to him for his excellent service. His workmanship has always been top quality, along with his suggestions on job ideas, his pricing and timely manner. I would highly recommend Tavo."

"We highly recommend Tavo Construction. Tavo designed and constructed 3 retaining walls and 2 areas with pavers. The end result is beautiful, and beyond our highest expectations. Neighbors who regularly walk by our house observed the three week process of demolition of our old retaining walls, preparation and construction of the new walls, along with the painstaking finishing of the walls and pavers. When we are outside now, neighbors don’t just tell us how fantastic our walls and pavers look, they seem compelled to stop and have a ten minute conversation about the amazing work they witnessed over the space of several weeks, and how impressed they are with the outcome! The process of first meeting with Tavo, discussing what we wanted, getting a bid, reviewing and signing the contract, scheduling the work, watching the project unfold and complete - every step of the way was professional, filled with value, skill, hard work, precision, and dedication to perfection. The bid was significantly less than another bid we obtained, and Tavo did not try to upsell or add to what we wanted to have done. Tavo’s communication was responsive, engaging, clear and constant. Tavo’s design and plans for the retaining walls took into account not just the technical aspects of height, consideration of permitting guidelines, drainage, durability, but also beautiful design. The retaining wall in our backyard is not angular like it was before, but curved and sweeping which is gorgeous and makes our backyard feel more spacious and inviting. His team worked so hard. They put in full days, every day. They were respectful of our property. At the end of every work day, our property was cleaned up, along with the sidewalk, and they stored all the tools and equipment out of the way. Tavo visited regularly, checking the work, communicating with his team, and talking with us to make sure everything was going according to plan. When we had questions or concerns, he was quick to answer, explain and adjust to make sure we were happy, and all on the same page. After the walls were constructed, the job was finished with bark and new grass seed so that the entire yard looks absolutely beautiful! We did not ask for this, but this is how Tavo works. Above and beyond expectations. An example of Tavo’s excellence and dedication to outstanding work and outcomes: He texted us a few weeks after the job was finished. He wanted to stop by to see how the yard looked, but particularly to assess a new grass seed he used for our project. He was unhappy with the grass seed he used previously, and had purchased more expensive seed. He wanted to see and feel our grass to assess the new seed. Tavo is invested in the quality and value of Tavo Construction. We benefited greatly. Our yard is stunning. We highly recommend Tavo Construction! Our recommendation was not requested by Tavo, and we received no compensation for this recommendation. Review by Kim Beach"

"I’ve been working with them for years and been so happy! Wonderful people who do great work! We will continue to work with them on future improvement projects and ongoing maintenance."

"We were looking to replace our 8x8 aggregate patio and putting in pavers to make our backyard more enjoyable. We were feeling a bit dissapointed with the different companies we had come out to give us a bid until we met Tavo. Not only did he give us a reasonable bid, but he educated us on why certain things needed to be done a specific way. He seemed way more knowledgeable and invested in the project. The team working were professional, clean, reliable, timely, and hard working! Couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome. Planning to use this company for all of our landscaping needs in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Tavo and his team repaired / rebuilt a 28 foot section of fence. They did an excellent job, on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Tavo and his team."

"Highly recommend! He takes his time to understand exactly what you are looking for. Tavo and his team go above and beyond to make sure the work is done just how we want it. My husband and I will continue to hire him for many more projects to come."

"Tavos Construction (and Tavos himself) built us a beautiful brick patio. They also went above and beyond by laying gravel over some dirt to prevent my dogs from getting so dirty every time they go outside! I also had an old water feature removed and now our backyard is really coming along! Great work and I highly recommend."

"Completely satisfied with his work. He cleaned 2 acres with a John Deere 50g ! Amazing work! Thank you tavo for your work. I will recommend you anytime ."

"Part of our fence blew down and Gustavo was super helpful and timely. He did great work and I would highly recommend them!"

"My wife and I have been wanting to improve our outdoor living space for a few years but kept putting it off. We found that we needed more space when we entertained family. We had an existing weathered wood deck on the smaller size, with guardrails and a few steps down to a slightly sloped backyard grass area. We did some research and hired Tavo Construction to make this happen. We had some idea of what we wanted, but we were hoping for and open to design suggestions. Gustavo provided design ideas that would improve what we thought our vision was. He was always confident and reassuring with what he thought would look good. He was also very patient in how he explained how this would get constructed. We moved forward with having all of the wood decking replaced with new Timbertech/AZEK PVC decking and adding a complete wrap around, lighted steps down to a hardscaped paver patio area. The patio area has a curved low sitting wall, columns with post lighting and a lit sidewalk that leads to the front driveway. They also installed below grade drainage lines from our downspouts. We are a little particular, so when we saw a few minor imperfections, Gustavo was always quick to respond to our concerns and meet us in the evening to go over the solution. He never hesitated to 'make it right' and adjustments or corrections were taken care of by the next day or two. When we made some design changes along the way, Gustavo was always accommodating to our request. My wife and I are thrilled with the results and can't wait to make full use of our new outdoor space. We highly recommend Gustavo and his very hard working crew to anyone who wants a complete transformation of their outdoor space. We would not hesitate to use Tavo Construction again on a future project."

"Extremely pleased with the outdoor fence repair/ replacement work done by Tavo’s. They were super quick to respond, provided an accurate and reasonable estimate and completed the job on time with high quality work product! Will be using them for all my future outdoor landscaping/maintenance services! Thanks Tavo’s construction!"

"Best contractor I worked with in a very long time! I highly recommend them. Family owned, hard working people. Open to ideas and eager to make sure you are pleased with the results. They redit my patio and along with that did a really nice job cleaning and beautifying the backyard. Price was reasonable and good communication along the way. I look forward to using them for future projects!"

"Tavo and the team did solid works to replace and install the fence and gate in my backyard. More importantly, they're willing to come back to fix small issues. This boost my confidence to work with them in the future."

"Great communication, punctuality and professionalism. We had a time crunch to get our Topsoil in and grass seed down, but Tavo made it happen effortlessly. We would definitely recommend him and his team for your future projects."

"Tavo is a great person to work with, he pays attention to detail to give you the best service possible. He prides himself in going beyond to provide quality work. Would recommend his team for your future projects."

"Good work competitive price"

"Recent windstorm knocked over my fence. Tavos team was hired by our neighbors to fix the shared fence, and they gave a great rate to update our entire fence line. Arrived on time every day, responded to inquiries quickly, and finished the job in only 2 days."

"My wife and I used Tavo Construction for many house repairs and backyard landscaping and installing a backyard patio. The most recent project was the background patio. The patio consisted of removing grass and two aggregate patio slabs. They replaced these items with patio pavers, including installing the proper drainage. We trusted Tavo to develop the design. We are extremely satisfied with results. Tavo and his crew were timely and professional, including cleaning the worksite each evening."

"I had a section of fence coming down due to rotted posts that needed to be addressed. I sent a message to Tavo via Google, he responded literally within a couple minutes. We then talked on the phone, I sent him pictures of the fence and gave him the address. He came to the house that day, made suggestions and gave me a bid. Tavo and his crew were there the next morning and did a fantastic job. Tavo and his crew were very polite and professional and accomplished everything they said they would along with leaving the property clean tidy. I will use them again and would recommend them to anyone for any fence or outdoor type construction."

"Tavo is professional, kind and great at various repairs from noisy furnaces to water leaks. I am happy to say that I would request his expertise again and would definitely recommend him to others."

"Called back."

"Tavo - responded very quick and took car of the Job I had at hand. It was correct the first time and I am very happy with the outcome."

"Our experience working with Tavo's construction has been really great. Last year our retaining wall got damaged during the storm. We took Tavo's help to rebuild the whole wall."

"They provide great work, experience, and good communication."

"Yard work"

"Had great experience working with Gustavo and his crew. They are very professional. Work by the book, no cutting corners and no shortcuts. They did a good job with a retaining wall project. Left the place clean. They were very accommodating with my random requests too. I recommend them."

"Tavo & his team completely revamped my backyard from a frumpy, patchy uneven grass, broken patio cement & dangerous basement wells to a beautiful backyard sanctuary that family, friends & I enjoy all year round! Tavo was referred to me by a friend who had used his company for projects in her Bellevue home. From the moment I contacted him, his professionalism, knowledge and flexibility on pricing options (I had a small budget!), he made the renovation journey an enjoyable experience. Love his work, his knowledge & humor! I have referred him to others, and I am thrilled to provide my highest recommendation for his work. You won't be disappointed! And big thank you to Tavo for making my front & backyard, a place a enjoy on a daily basis ;-)"

"They were able to winterize our sprinkler system the day after calling them! They did a great job, very efficient very friendly and very communicative. Highly recommended and plan to call him back for our next service!"

"We contacted Tavo after requesting a number of quotes from other companies, which either did not respond or take the time to truly educate us on our project. When Tavo came to take a look at our crumbling retaining wall, he was incredibly knowledgably and confident but also easy to talk to and answered all our questions. He walked us through why he was suggesting what he was as well as explaining how retaining walls should be built (ours had sloppy job of new construction in the early 2000s), what the current codes mandate, as well as the changes that would need to be made to our backyard (lost about 1/2' of grass) Additionally, him and his team inspected the existing blocks that made up our retaining wall and recommended that we could use the same ones as they were in good condition. I appreciated that he did that as I know there are companies out there that would probably have tried to get us to replace everything. When it came to his team that was working on-site, they were nothing short of exceptional. They were kind and courteous to use and patient with us when we had to take our dogs out. They always cleaned up at the end of each day and always seemed very organized and thorough in their approach. They were also very kind when our 4-year-old would ask them questions on what they were doing and would explain their process to them. Again, something I appreciate as they could have easily dismissed them instead. When the job was complete, it was like from a model home catalog. We could not be happier with the results! As we plan out remodels for the inside of our home, we plan to reach out and use Tavo. Highly recommend"

"Had a couple of quotes to build a fence, the most professional and near the lowest was from Tavo's company. We meet one time for the appraisal and all my questions were answered since there were some problems of tricky terraced yard. Job was completed on a time manner. Tavo is very trusty and professional person."

"The only company we use for our jobs and for me personally. I don't give out recommendations alot but they are outstanding at there job!"
