Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Posted on Google Rich ShortallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Clough Construction in San Rafael. They recently installed two gates and metal fencing on my property, and I am extremely pleased with the results. The black gates are beautiful, well-crafted, and provide excellent protection against wildfire. The latch and locking mechanisms are exceptionally smooth and operate flawlessly, which speaks to the quality of the workmanship. The installation was completed professionally and with great attention to detail. Throughout the entire project, the staff was helpful, friendly, and responsive to any questions or requests I had. From start to finish, Clough Construction delivered outstanding service and a high-quality finished product. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for fencing or gate installation.Posted on Google Susan CraneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work! Clough came out, gave a great quote and put up a gorgeous ipe wood fence. If you need it to look *perfect* these are the people to work with in San Rafael, Marin County.Posted on Google Alec ShafferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did an amazing job on our fence. We keep getting compliments about it from our neighbors.Posted on Google Dave LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently replaced a wood front fence and two gates with aluminum using Clough. We also replaced a second wood fence with wood. We could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and the materials. We had enough positive recommendations about Clough that we didn't get bids, but feel the price was good especially considering the quality.Posted on Google Erika ceruttiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott, Deanne and the crew were so easy to work with on my fence and aluminum gate project. They were attentive to my concerns and delivered as expected with beautiful results. I love looking at my new fence and gates every day! Looking forward to working with them again in the future!Posted on Google E L PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clough is fabulous. They installed a complicated fence system (board fence, wire fence, offsets, and coyote rollers on top, on a steep hill, with metal fencing and gates near the house as required by fire regulations. The work is gorgeous. Their team is so competent and resourceful, coming up with solutions to tricky problems like building the fence over an existing outbuilding to exclude wildlife and building around retaining structures on the hill. Plus they are really nice people and easy to deal with. Some 15 years ago, they also built a deck for me with concrete piers and a stairway with railings leading up to a bank. It is still as solid as a rock. I recommend them highly.Posted on Google lisa wightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clough has built 3 fences for us. Deanne Clough (in the office) and Scott Clough (in the field), are both knowledgeable and personable. The job site was always kept tidy, the jobs were done quickly, and the workmanship always beautiful. Highly recommend this company.Posted on Google B BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATED REVIEW: In July 2025, we hired Clough Construction again, this time to help us fire harden our home. We needed to replace the wooden gates attached to the side of our home with metal gates. We looked around a lot to find metal gates that would look good, be reasonably priced of high quality, and maintain the privacy we had with the wooden gates. I remembered the great experience we had with Clough Construction, and sure enough, they had exactly what we were looking for. The Clough Construction crew were professional as always and did a fantastic (and quick!) job taking down our wooden gates and putting up gorgeous metal gates in their place. They did a great job cleaning up the job site as well. We knew we needed to replace the wooden gates next to the house for fire safety, but I could not totally envision how it would look when it was done. Our new metal gates have been in place for several months now, and we are thrilled with them. Clough Construction does such high-quality work. Additionally, the metal gates look great, and we did not lose any of our privacy. Once again, Clough Construction did an A++ job. Thank you so much, Clough Construction! **************** Clough Construction does absolutely incredible work at a very competitive price. We had them replace about 200 feet of fence (that we share with two different neighbors) that was falling down. Clough Construction made the whole process so easy! They are fast & efficient and do beautiful, high quality work. They were careful with our trees and plants. They left our yard clean at the end of each day that they were here. And on top of all of this, we absolutely love our new fence -- it is gorgeous! Plus, everyone with whom we worked -- from Scott and Deanne Clough to foreman Raphael to the guys in the crew -- was so nice and professional. We are huge fans of Clough Construction based on our experience!Posted on Google Chris BenardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top notch contractor with 40 years of experience installing decks and fences. They specialize in fire-resistant materials and creating defensible spaces.Posted on Google Mitch CraigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very impressed with the level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and kindness we experienced from Clough Construction. We had a project related to our existing deck. From the moment we contacted Scott and Deanne, everything went smoothly. They were fantastic to work with, and the contract they provided was incredibly detailed and professional. The final price was exactly what they quoted. The team that did the work, Quinn and Salvador, are absolute rockstars. They are a phenomenal team. Not only is their work flawless, but they were also just a joy to have at our home—so kind, professional, timely, and incredibly hard-working. On top of the great work, Clough Construction is in a league of their own with communication. After the job was complete, we received a call to ensure we were happy, and a handwritten thank-you note in the mail. This was unexpected, but goes a long way.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
