EXCELLENTTrustindex 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 onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We hired Clough Construction to fix our broken fence and create a design on the part of the broken fence that would look aesthetically beautiful and yet be functional and sturdy. They also built a gate so our dogs cannot escape. I told them my idea for a hogwire fence on our porch. They created the most gorgeous hogwire fence to surround our porch and found the perfect gate hardware. The work paid attention to every detail and showed the level of craftsmanship that they produce. The crew, Mark, Jorge and Geoff, showed up on time, worked hard, and helped with suggestions and were open to creatively working with my ideas and preferences. They were also super efficient and finished the job within the week. Their work is craftsmanship and not just something thrown together. I'm super happy with the work Clough did and I know my fence and gates will last a long time! Scott Clough helped with the design and measurements and the quote and timeline matched the work done. I recommend Clough Construction to anyone. Their professionalism, craftsmanship and experience is excellent. We hired Clough again to help us build stairs off our back door. We had torn down an old deck and needed a landing and stairs. Scott came out and created a beautiful design. Then Marc and Salvador came out and built the most gorgeous set of stairs which really complements our backyard. Marc then helped me choose the correct stair lights and he installed them. We’re now ready for landscaping. Clough was always on time and scheduled the job around our timeframe. They are highly professional and skilled. I recommend them to everyone. Working with Deanne is a joy. She is always helpful and clear about the pricing and schedule.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Working with Scott, Mark, and the team at Clough Construction was an amazing experience. Our project was complicated as we had an existing failing cantilever deck that was built over a hillside 30ft into the air. They re-designed and built a new deck that we now use daily! Their team were so easy to work with through the entire process. From demo of the existing deck to building an entirely new deck on a hillside, the team were confident, kind, and wonderful to have around each day! They minimized the noise, and we have received so many compliments from our neighbors about how polite and professional the team were. We will be working with Clough again on future deck projects!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Scott Clough came out to provide our estimate, timeframe of completion and to approve completion at the end. Rafael was the sparkling gem during the entire 4 day experience. Rafael, our Foreman, is the kindest, most friendly, patient & confident human you’d ever wish to be handling any situation. When folks say “ you choose your tribe”, I would heartily choose all of these Clough family employees to share meals at my table.

You’d WANT him around all the time! He brought the respect & confidence to the job but always maintained uplifting positivity. Closing this company is a no-brainer.

The TimberTech decking and railing installed by Clough Construction is magnificent. Truly
excellent workmanship, and they care about the end-result and making sure their customers
are satisfied. Not only did we appreciate their patience in working with us and answering all of
our questions, but we also very much appreciated their willingness to hear our design suggestions and for their creative response. Clough Construction is a “class act” and it’s a no-brainer to say that we would hire them again for our next project.
Mitch Craig | 08/12/2025
We were very impressed with the level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and kindness we experienced from Clough Construction.
We had a tricky project of removing a large hot tub that was built into our 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. They meticulously removed the old tub, installed new trusses, and laid new redwood planks. We are very pleased with the results.
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.
We can’t emphasize enough how good Quinn and Salvador are, and how well-run this company is. We couldn’t be happier and will be recommending Clough Construction to everyone we know.

We feel very lucky to have found Clough Construction after moving back to Marin. Scott arrived and set us in the right direction in what was needed to replace a fence. The crew who took the
project from start to the finish were wonderful to work with, and it was completed and looks
great. A year later we added a puppy to our family. We called Scott for his expertise in what we
needed to do to prevent the dog from squeezing through the older fence that came with the
property. The project was completed by Quinn and Salvador. The dream team. They knew what
was needed and made these changes look like they had always been there. Kudos to Clough. Highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Clough Construction. They are fantastic. We used them to replace approx. 200 feet of fence that needed replacing. They built us a gorgeous good neighbor fence. They were careful with our trees and our neighbor’s plants on the other side of the fence. They left the job site clean at the end of each day (much appreciated so I could rest easy when my dogs used the yard). Scott and Deanna Clough and foreman Rafael and his team all were awesome — just great people and easy to work with. Plus, our Clough Construction bid was extremely competitive (cheaper than other bids we received). If I ever need help again with fencing, Clough Construction is who I will call!

Moren F. | 12/29/2023
Clough Construction produced a beautiful and sturdy result of a new gate/fence to create a side yard for my dog and a replacement gate for the carport entry into the front yard. Everyone on the team was incredibly professional: from the office management, scheduling, foreman, and construction team to the owners, who personally came out to provide the initial walk-through and quote, first day project review and final day walk-through. I even had an opportunity to start the work early due to another cancellation. They were very honest about the timeline and met the quoted goal. It was helpful to have their lookbook to be inspired by the look/feel as I was only clear about the function required. I’d contact Clough again first for future projects.
Brendamcla | 10/24/2023
What a great company! I had a small but complicated deck replacement (from the second floor, without posts.) Other companies either wanted an arm and a leg, or didn’t want the job at all. Scott’s first words were, “This is easy.” Then he proceeded to make it so.
Clough Construction’s expertise and craftsmanship is outstanding. Although ready to do the job as the engineer proposed, Scott suggested a simpler approach which the engineer embraced. Clough handled all the engineering and permit coordination, and a beautiful deck was completed ahead of schedule. Even the town inspector took extra time to note the high quality of the work.
Everyone at Clough Construction is a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent: frequent, timely and always friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat. The crew even created a rapport with my tenant, which was very helpful. And the job site was always pristine. No sense of living in a construction site.
To top it off, Clough Construction is dedicated to sustainable, responsible forestry. So my beautiful deck is made of strong, fire-resistant, sustainable wood. I couldn’t ask for more. An excellent experience on every front and a beautiful result. I highly recommend Clough Construction.
Vicki Aman | 10/01/2022
The Clough Team did a great job. They do top notch work and are great to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for fence or deck construction. The crew, Quinn, Salvador, and Michael, were on time, professional and worked hard to get this substantial deck project completed. Appreciate the job that was done at my home.
Free56dom | 09/12/2023
I have used Clough Construction several times for fencing projects. Every time they have done exceptional work. They are well organized, show up on time, are extremely easy to work with and the end result is always beyond my expectations. They clearly care about the quality of work that they do. I would highly recommend using them.
Jennifer Harries-Jones | 08/01/2023
We had a great experience with Clough Construction…. starting from the beginning quote to after the project was completed. We had a complicated two story deck project that was on the 2nd and 3rd floor of our home. It also wrapped around the house to our pool. We needed a solid company with experience that we could trust.. Forest and Jeff were the main guys working on our project and they did an amazing job. Deanne in the front office is so nice and accommodating and kept us up to date with every step of the process and followed up afterwards to make sure we were happy. They were all very professional and very knowledgable with years of experience. They also worked with our pool construction company to ensure everything moved smoothly and it all came together. You really do get what you pay for and we couldn’t be happier with our finished deck. We highly recommend Clough Construction. You won’t be disappointed.
Mark Boyle | 05/05/2023
We couldn’t be happier with our new redwood privacy fence! It’s a 2-sided slat fence so we enjoy it as much as the neighbors do. We live on a street that can get busy and without the fence we didn’t even use the front yard. It was like being in a fishbowl. Now our front yard is a sanctuary and we’re out there all the time! The privacy has doubled the outdoor space for us and raised the value of the house. The team at Clough was great!

Alex L. | 04/13/2023
We are so happy with our decks that Clough built for us. We had an old rotten cantilever deck off the top level of our house that needed replacement. We worked with an architect and engineer to design a massive three level deck to replace it. When we bid it out, many contractors said that the job was too difficult due to the terrain and narrow streets where our house was located. Some did not even respond. This did not deter Scott at Clough Construction. He gave us a very fairly priced bid for the job. During the whole process the Clough team was very professional. We have had other contractors do decent sized jobs at our house and I can definitely say that the Clough crew, led by Rick, was the most professional and least disruptive to us and our neighbors. Not to mention that the quality of the work is amazing. The attention to detail and ability to account for a few inconsistencies in the initial plans that we provided to them show that they really know what they are doing. We will definitely be working with Clough again in the future.
Lauren Avan | 12/19/2022
Clough Construction recently rebuilt a deck at my home. They were among the most professional, communicative and skillful companies I have ever worked with, bar none. They not only did an impeccable job but also went out of their way to make the deck usable before completion for a long-planned for outdoor party. From start to finish, they showed up when they said they would, communicated with clarity and kindness, and finished the work without compromise in record time. Don’t need a deck? Hire them anyway; they’re that good!
Dan Cubav | 07/01/2022
In 2004 Clough replaced our upper deck and it still looks awesome. This year (2021) they designed and built a new lower deck and added our special place…..the CATIO … a beautiful redwood and screen mini-lodge built especially for us and our cats. Clough Construction does fabulous work. We could not be happier. Thanks to Scott, Deanne, Forest and the whole team.
Michael Day | 05/25/2022
Clough Construction, YES!, entirely professional, their work was of the highest quality. The building crew–Rafael, Hugo, and Michael–listened carefully to our desires and concerns, then worked skillfully and efficiently to build 62 feet of rock-solid, beautiful fence, gate, and arbor, all in two-and-a-half days. The redwood posts and 8-inch boards are highest quality. We, our neighbor’s, and our local birds and squirrels have all fully approved the work. Clough owners Scott & Deanne and their office team were always available, communications were excellent. We’ve already asked them to build another 75 feet of fence. Five-star recommendations for everyone.
Christian M | 05/11/2022
Hi all those looking for fence, deck or other work… We had our backyard fenced in by Clough this spring. Hands down one of the best construction experiences we have had. Called them up and it took them a few weeks or so to come out and spec the project. They then gave us the week they would start the project. They then called to confirm the exact start date the Friday before. Project went exactly as planned. They finished a little early and on budget. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. Everything was well organized and of the utmost quality. You won’t believe how deep the fence posts go! All in all, can’t say enough about the experience.
John F | 11/14/2022
We’ve used Clough multiple times and we’d go back again. Scott and Deanne are always responsive and professional. Our latest job was to replace wooden railings on our decks due to wood rot. Quinn and Salvador were terrific … very knowledgeable and talented and always pleasant and easy to deal with.
Christopher Bunker | 04/28/2022
Working with Clough Construction, and Marc and his team, in particular, was a great experience. We now have a beautiful deck. It was not an easy job either. The deck is up quite a steep slope in Baltimore Canyon, but they had no problem. On top of the great work that they did, it was a huge help that they could do the layout drafting, permitting and inspections with the City of Larkspur. The Clough family was a really pleasure to work with. If they were neighbors, we would definitely be having them over to enjoy our lovely deck!!
Elizabeth Mollner | 04/16/2022
This is a shout out for Clough Construction as I just had several deck repairs done at my home here in Greenbrae. I was more than satisfied at the excellent job that they did as well as the above and beyond customer service I received so I want to share my experience here for anyone looking for the best updating of your decks, small or large sized jobs, as I had both done. I highly endorse this professional and first rate company and would be available for an in person conversation if that would be helpful. Thank you!
Nancy Lumer | 03/25/2022
I highly recommend Clough Construction! They just completed my back deck and privacy fence, coping with various issues, including working around the king tides. They were extremely efficient, competent, friendly, and also very sensitive to my needs. How many times have you heard of a construction company described in those terms? Every single employee, at every level, was professional, courteous, and a hard worker. It was truly a pleasure to do business with Clough Construction. I am looking forward to my next project, a front deck and walkway, and would not even consider any other company.
Skip & Teresa Schwartz | 03/03/2022
Clough Construction was professional and provided work of the highest quality from beginning to end of three projects for us and neighbors recently. Rafa and his crew did a superior job on the fences & Forest and his team did a beautiful job on our deck. Materials were of highest quality. Respectful onsite setup & cleanup. Scott and the office team were always available, estimates and schedules were honored and communications were excellent. Five star recommendations for all.
Michelle Kaiser | 01/10/2022
We loved working with the entire Clough Construction team. Clough was extremely professional, responsive, and helped us choose the best material for our needs. Deanne and Scott were an absolute pleasure to work with and our new balcony/deck turned out stunning. We couldn’t be happier with the final product. The team, Quinn and Lowell, worked really hard and kept my husband and I informed throughout the process, which we really appreciated. Even when there were delays outside of their control, Quinn and Lowell, really worked hard to make sure our deck was completed before the year end. We really appreciated their hard work, friendliness, and professionalism throughout the project and we’re really looking forward to working with them again on our next project!
Marc D | 11/20/2021
Kudos to Scott Clough, and his talented team, Fecundo and Hugo, for truly transforming the look and feel of our Tam Valley creek side home, which we affectionately call Walden West. These fine craftsman well earn their reputation as Marin’s best deck and gate builders (Clough Construction). We love our new entry gate and fence, and the possibilities it creates for the adjacent creek views and further outdoor decoration and furnishing. The entire Clough team was thoroughly delightful to work with. The end product is everything hoped for and more. Now on to clearing more bamboo to further open up the visibility of Coyote Creek. Projects, projects, projects.
L Yamamoto | 09/13/2021
If you’re thinking about getting a fence, I would highly recommend that you use Clough Construction for your project! From the initial phone call to the the completion of the fence, the Clough team has been nothing but professional! The quality and detail of my fence is SUPERB and I am constantly receiving compliments!
Hannah Ake | 08/11/2021
Clough Construction did an outstanding job on our project and they were so, so easy to work with. The on-site AND office staff are communicative, kind, quick, and thorough. We needed to install new railings in our yard for insurance purposes and were nervous about how it might change the look of the yard. Clough installed BEAUTIFUL railings that look as if they have always been there. The quality and workmanship are unbelievable. Clough also repaired a small retaining wall in the yard and made it look 10 times better than it looked before. Honestly, I wish I could hire Clough for everything home repair related because they are so great to work with. We will definitely work with them again.
Melanie Mah | 08/01/2021
Words cannot adequately describe my wonderful experience with Clough Construction but here I go! Scott is an artist and creates beautiful, good quality designs. Sessi and Deanne in the office are super nice, honest and go out of their way to answer your questions and concerns about your project. If you’re lucky enough to have Fakuno and a Hugo working on your project, you won’t be disappointed in the speed, craftsmanship and care they put in at your job site. The estimate for my fence was very accurate and minimally more than other companies I asked to come out despite Clough’s portfolio and work being highly superior in my opinion. We have been enjoying our fence for a few months and our Clough fence is one of the best investments we could have asked for. You cannot go wrong with this company and these amazing people.
Paul Jensen | 07/10/2021
Clough Construction recently completed a new deck at the entrance to my home, which is not only beautiful but extremely well constructed. Scott and Deanne Clough were very professional, responsive and efficient in their delivery of service. If you are looking to hire the best deck contractor in the North Bay, you need to seriously consider Clough Construction.
Scott Smith | 07/09/2021
This is a great company to work with. From the time you call until the project is complete there is great communication. Scott came out, looked over my project and made some suggestions I had not thought of. (saved me some $$) Our fences were over 50 years old. Design was on point and keeping with the theme and design of the house. The crew arrived on time every day and it was the same guys from beginning to end. We personally made sure they had plenty of liquids to drink as it was VERY warm. Great quality, top end materials, Awesome crew that kept the job-site clean every day. Not the cheapest but not expensive when you factor in the above. to me a quality company with superior products and a team that enjoys their trade. True craftsman. Biggest drawback is you will need to pull permit for the project. I live within city limits of Novato and it took 4 weeks to get my permit. Was not too difficult to do. The team at the city was a great help in this. But, back to Clough. I really can’t say enough good about them. Thank you everyone there.
Kate Hamilton | 07/09/2021
Clough Construction came highly recommended from the many agents in my real estate office where I am Managing Broker. They completely replaced a redwood deck off my dining room and their service was a dream come true! Forrest and Geoff were professional, talented and got a huge job done in record time. The owners, Scott and Deann Clough are the best!! They certainly know their trade and I could not be happier with the final result. So much so I have now hired them to replace all my decks around the entire front of my house. I could not recommend them more highly!! Thank you Clough Construction for a job well done!!
Frank Kayser | 07/09/2021
Finding good contractors in Marine turns out to be harder than it should be. Some fail to show up for appointments while others just won’t follow-up afterwards… Fortunately, we came across Clough Construction, and I have to say that this was one of the better experiences we had with any contractor over the last few years. We have been working with Clough on a recent project that involved replacing a failing deck support post reaching up to a deck attached to the second level of the house which required a new concrete support footing, as well as building a new redwood deck towards the back of the house. Communication from Scott and Deanne was exemplary. Scott immediately put us at ease with his experience and understanding of what we wanted to accomplish, and his bid was very fair. Deanne was in constant contact regarding the scheduling and was checking in on a regular basis to make sure everything went according to plan. Getting the permits from the city, as well as all passing the inspections went very smoothly. It was obvious that these guys knew how to manage the process. The team, consisting mainly of Quinn and Lowell, worked very hard and really well together and were professional, punctual, and most of all master craftsmen that take pride in their work. In addition, they were extremely personable and fun to work with. They had a great attitude and held on to the motto of let’s do what it takes to make our clients happy. At the end, they built a beautiful deck that greatly enhanced our backyard, and they did it in the originally proposed timeframe. They even found the time to proactively fix some issues with our existing deck without charging extra for the work. We are extremely happy with the result and would whole-heartedly recommend Clough to anyone.

Recently had an old dilapidated fence entirely replaced by Clough. The experience from start to finish was professional, on time, and without issue. The estimation process was very efficient and gave all specific details needed to make the decision to hire. They worked with me to suggest how we could make the replacement fence better than the previously existing structure. Pricing was fantastic and all timelines met. Any questions during the process were answered immediately. This was a fantastic experience and will be hiring them again for more projects.

If you are looking for a stress free experience on your project, then call Clough Construction. Scott & Deanne run a highly professional business with excellent workmanship and high quality results while completing it all on time, as promised. Our project included a fence and two gates — one of which leads to our front door entrance. We love what was built and have received so many compliments on Clough’s work. It was a pleasure to work with them and we highly recommend them.
Andrew Tan | 06/15/2021
Clough installed a custom glass railing in our backyard that is on the water and did an amazing job. They also installed 2 side gates on the side of the house as well as a gate on one end of the water front for access. They were professional, timely and high quality of work. I highly recommend them for any fencing needs!
Peggy Butler | 06/02/2021
I absolutely LOVE my new front yard picket fence built by Clough Construction! I had a design in mind and Scott grasped my vision perfectly, and improved upon it. The fence turned out better than I imagined. The Clough crew was extremely professional, kind, hard-working, neat, and so skilled! True artisans. The foreman on my project has worked for Clough for ~25 years… that shows me that they take good care of their employees. I loved having their guys around for the week and was bummed to say goodbye at the end, but thrilled about my front yard “facelift”. Btw, this was the 2nd fence I’d had built by Clough. The other one was done 10 years ago and is good as new… zero problem. You can’t go wrong with Clough Construction!
Angi A | 07/05/2021
Five stars isn’t enough for Clough. Everyone, from Sessi answering the phone the first time, to Deanne walking us through the process, to Scott and our amazing crew: Quinn and Lowell, it’s been a white glove service from beginning to end. They took care of everything; permits, inspections, you name it. Quinn and Lowell always arrived on time, were respectful of our home and never left a mess, but most of all, the incredible attention to detail and superior craftsmanship has given us a deck that’s not only functional, but one that we are excited to showcase. We couldn’t recommend them enough and know for certain we’ll be calling up again for more projects in the future.

My deck is in a national commercial. You have probably all seen it on TV. I’m in San Rafael, I live on a very steep hillside with a pool. The deck is awesome. Clough Construction. You have been such an awesome client and your property and deck are legendary!
Deborah Gump | 04/26/2021
Used Clough Construction for a deck build last summer and they did fantastic work and were lovely to work with! I needed a fence to match the fence on the other side of my backyard. Enter Clough – and Facundo and Hugo. Used Clough Construction for a deck build last summer and they did fantastic work and were lovely to work with! In a single day they built the perfect fence and left my yard cleaner than they found it. And it turns out that Clough built the other fence more than 20 years ago, and it still looks fantastic.
James H | 04/06/2021
Clough Construction = Total PROs! Deanne and Scott were great to work with during the prep – helpful with the design and plans. Lowell and Quinn were our team and they did a tremendous job bringing the deck to life. They worked hard and are good humans to have around the house for a couple weeks. We could not be happier with the results and the process.
Larie Flaherty | March 10, 2021
We could not have hired a better team to build our expansive deck project. The Clough Construction (Dream Team) were absolutely incredible. The owners, Scott and Deanne and their friendly staff seamlessly orchestrated our project with clear, consistent and thorough communication, and completed it on time and on budget. The whole process beginning to end was easy and enjoyable. Even the inspections went incredibly smooth without issues. We had an amazing, talented foreman, Rick and his dedicated crew (Braulio, Geoff and Forest) who were not only hard working, professional and skilled craftsmen, but so nice to have here for the duration of the project and our neighbors appreciated how respectful they were. Their attention to detail was meticulous, and every part was beautifully completed with integrity. It was very clear from the start they take great pride in their work and are creative in their approach resulting in an absolutely gorgeous deck! Our engineer said it was one of the best decks he’s seen. We cannot believe we not only have this absolutely stunning deck but it also represents our ideals. After reading about Clough’s dedication to sustainability we knew they would respect the intrinsic value of using the wood harvested from our 100 year old Redwood tree that had stood on our property. They were able to skillfully incorporate it with wood sourced from a sustainable forest (FSC lumber) creating an exquisite deck celebrating function, beauty and viability. Without hesitation we would unequivocally recommend Clough Construction. We hope to have them back to build our fence.

Susan Sklar | 11/09/2020
Clough just finished our project and we couldn’t be happier. They built us a new deck and railings with lighting and also built a front entry fence and side arbor and fencing. Both projects are beautiful and the work, from planning to completion couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Scott Clough and his wife Deanna are super friendly, honest and helpful, a pleasure to work with. Quinn and Lowell, who did the building, were knowledgeable, very good at solving problems, and also very friendly. Their attention to detail was much appreciated. We are very satisfied with their work and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.We highly recommend Clough Construction, thank you to all!
Thomas H | 11/09/2020
Had a great experience working with Clough as they rebuilt the deck on the back of our house. Scott and Deanne were professional all the way through. They are not the lowest price in town, but the quality you get for the price provides excellent value. Our team on the ground was excellent. Our foreman, Quinn, is a true craftsman who took pride in his work and was very thorough down to the last detail. He and his main colleague, Lowell, worked really well together and went the extra mile to make sure the work was done well and that we were pleased. The deck was built with redwood posts and TimberTech decking, and the final product looks great.

I highly recommend Clough Construction for any fence building and repair. Gates too! I’ve hired them many times and have always been very happy with the results. They recently built an extension of a fence that made it so the existing fence extended to the wall of the house. The gate they designed as part of it is not only pretty but very functional. One latch to reach over and open it, but (such creative thinking!) another on the opposite side to latch the gate open. If you are carrying in groceries and kids and pets and whatever else you may have loaded up your car with, having a securely latched open gate is perfect! You can make multiple trips without having to open the gate each time. The work crew also fixed a different preexisting gate and fence, strengthening it structurally so if anyone slams the gate it won’t loosen the boards and therefore make the fence fall apart. Adding support boards in several places made it even more secure. Now it closes nicely, you don’t have to pull hard or slam it sit to get it to open/close. We are very happy with the work done and the Clough Construction family/company. Oh, and equally important, the people with whom you talk on the phone and Scott, the owner, are very kind and knowledgeable. It’s a pleasure to work with them. This is an update, so I guess traditional white stars on a red background aren’t available. We hired Clough Construction again to build a new fence on the back of our property. Scott had a great idea – let more greenery in (to look at). So he had his workmen, Rafael and Salvador, build the support posts and beams, then use wire to create a beautiful fence that is “”see through””. Lots of greenery, which I find very calming, particularly during this extended shelter in place time. They also fixed the fence between my property and my neighbors’ house. I said I wasn’t ready to re-do the whole thing. No problem (or attempts to upgrade my request). The crew did a fabulous, very professional job. They also were respectful of Covid-19 protocol (masks, gloves, social distancing) and very friendly and considerate. Cleaned up their scraps of wood and took all their tools. Rechecked our irrigation system to be sure installation of back fence didn’t disturb anything. I didn’t even ask them to do that! What a fantastic company. I have such confidence in Clough Construction, I’ve already informed them that when we are ready to add on a deck, we will hire their company again. Customer for life here!
Sandra L. | December 7, 2019
I first heard of Clough Construction because my neighbor used them for a fence. The fence was solid, good-looking and went up quickly. A couple of years later, I googled Fence Builders in Marin and they came up again. I called, got courteous service by Deanne and Anne Marie. Scott came out and gave me a bid within a day or two. I got three other bids, which were much lower. The first guy disappeared after the bid and I have no idea what happened there; he was way too cheap though. The second and third guys, nearly the same thing…hello? Every time I called the Clough office, I got a response. Because I have a big dog, I needed a good fence and I needed it soon. That was another thing, though busy, Clough could fit me in their schedule soon. So, I sucked it up and paid the money but I got EXCELLENCE. Rafael and the team are the award-winning performers who showed up on time everyday, got the job done quickly, professionally and perfectly. My fence is stunning…solid, strong, attractive and will last for decades. I don’t regret it for a minute, because you do get what you pay for and any deck or fence, better be done right. I consider every dollar I paid to Clough, an excellent investment in my home.
Daniel O. | November 6, 2019
Our house has 1000 sq ft of decking over three levels and we have lived here for over 15 years. I have used Clough Construction in the past for smaller maintenance projects, to replace beams and gates, and they have always been excellent. So when it came time to do an expansive project to replace all of the old railings with modern Feeney cable railings, as well as rebuild two sets of stairs between our upper, middle and lower decks. It was an easy decision to call Clough Construction for the project. I did not even get any other bids, as I already had confidence in their work quality! The Clough Construction team are very easy to work with and put clients first at every step of the way. Deanne follows up on a regular basis to make sure you are happy and Scott is flexible to work with as project changes inevitably come up. The team were onsite for 6 weeks as it was a significant amount of work. The job site was always kept clean, Quinn and Lull’s work ethic was exception and their attention to detail was second to none. They really are master carpenters. We have had many compliments on the finished work and could not be happier with it. Whenever I need any decking or fencing work, I always call Clough!
Christine S. | October 16, 2019
UPDATED REVIEW: I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. They worked with us to replace our deck more than 20 years ago, and did such a fine job that we went right to them recently when we needed fence work. What comes to mind immediately when I hear “Clough Construction ” is the word ‘integrity.’ They truly take an interest in the individual customer’s needs and goals, and each job they do is unique. I have no hesitation recommending them to both friends and family members. They have a terrific reputation in the community.
Floyd M. | October 9, 2019
I have worked with both Deanne and Scott Clough for almost 10 years. They are good solid people, honest, hard working and highly skilled. Scott is a MASTER at his craft and designs and builds some of the most artful outdoor experiences in the world. Deanne is a steward of the planet, always learning about and educating others on how we can use more sustainable materials. She is an exemplar in the Marin business community and always gives back to the children and schools in Marin. Businesses like Clough Construction are truly an essential part of what makes Marin so special. I cannot recommend them enough.
John B., Corte Madera | October 8, 2019
Marc and his crew at Clough Construction did a fantastic job rebuilding my patio overhang, and it is better looking and stronger than it ever was. Clough was true to their estimate and exceeded my expectations in every way. I will definitely be using them for future projects and would not hesitate in recommending them to friends.
Margaret D. | September 18, 2019
Clough Construction is both a highly professional company and one that produces quality work in a timely manner. Their staff and construction team are well trained and take pride in a “job well done” – finished on time with close attention to all details. I highly recommend them.
Kim D. | September 18, 2019
We have had excellent experiences with family-run Clough Construction on a few projects at our house. They are true craftsman who care about quality, doing right by their customers, and producing beautiful redwood projects. They treated our property with respect, always leaving the job site clean and tidy. Communication was excellent; we were always aware of job specifics and on site working hours. They were easy to contact and quick to respond whenever questions arose. Billing was upfront and we were never charged anything that wasn’t expected. We are very pleased with all of their beautiful work and how it has enhanced the beauty of our home.
Greg F. | September 17, 2019
When it came time to redo all our decks (and it was really about time) we looked at a few different companies. Clough Construction actually came in less expensive than another company we had bid. But money wasn’t the only decider. We knew of their quality and were not disappointed. They spent time with us and took us through the process, helping us make decisions if we had questions (which we did). Everything went smoothly, from demo to rebuild. All the guys were so nice and helpful and did everything they could to not inconvenience us. We just felt we were in good hands. The final product is beautiful, and our house, which is on a hill, is now even stronger because of the new foundations and bracing. And if that wasn’t enough to make us feel good, the city inspector remarked not just on the strength and integrity, but on the quality of work and attention to detail. We feel like we added a beautiful new room to our house that we now enjoy every day.
Wendy S. | May 31, 2018
All businesses should be run like Clough Construction. From my first phone call they were prompt in responding, knowledgeable, did exactly what they said they would do, and the bill came in exactly where they said it would. I was tired of messing around with companies that couldn’t deliver, so I called three of the top fence companies in Marin, including Clough. With their reputation for excellence, I expected them to be more expensive than the others, but they were less expensive. I hired them to build the 350 foot deer fence with a custom gate and a trash enclosure. They came when scheduled, there was zero drama, Scott was professional, Deanne was always available to answer any questions, and the job foreman knew his business and was a pleasure to work with, as were the whole crew. One of the best home improvement or maintenance experiences I’ve ever had. Now I have a beautiful new space to garden!
Michael
Dear Deanne Clough, My fence looks perfect. I have been bragging about the craftsmanship and how artistic the crew was. I appreciated Scott coming over. I could not have had a better experience. I am very happy. The job was done with integrity and quality. It was exactly what I wanted and more. I really appreciate Clough Construction.
Jan J. | May 29, 2018
We cannot say enough about Deanne and Scott’s professional and thoughtful advise and construction of two major projects at our house. First was the slate tile decking in the back yard and just recently they completed the remodeling of our front entry with the slate tile (suspended) decking and cable fencing. It completely updated our entry. The workers were top-notch. Reliable, courteous, and skilled at their work.
David S | 07/19/2022
Clough Construction has done three jobs for me over the years, so it’s probably about time I gave them a review. First off the Deanne and the office staff are super helpful. Despite a busy schedule they always find time to help me out sooner rather than later. Scott Clough then comes out both to survey the job to give a bid and then on the day the crew arrives to make sure everyone is on the same page. In the past they have built an amazing fence along the street that still gets the attention of people walking by and rebuilt part of a failing deck along a steep hill. This most recent crew of Quinn and Salvadore were efficient and professional. They replaced a bunch of dry rot under a deck and just looking at the result warms my heart (homeowners with dry rot will understand). The guys were friendly, hard working, and completed the job in record time. The clean up was also excellent which in my experience not a lot of construction companies do well. Hire Clough Construction if you want the job done right.
David W. | May 18, 2018
Clough is outstanding. You definitely get what you pay for. Highly professional, fast, straightforward.
L. D. | May 16, 2019
We’ve used Clough Construction twice now. Both times they were great. Our first project involved repairing our front porch. Afterward a neighbor told me that he “couldn’t see what had been fixed” … which basically said that it was perfect. They just finished our second project … replacing a set of deck stairs and gate. Quinn and Lowell (I hope I got their names right) did a great job … exactly what I was looking for. Scott and Deanne are super responsive and very easy to work with. The team showed up on time every time. They were clear on their paperwork so that everyone was in sync.
Jill D. | May 16, 2019
Clough Construction was totally professional and treated our job with integrity. They built a 1200 sq ft redwood deck and balcony for us. This was a big job and needed multiple county inspections. They passed every one with zero problems. The deck is totally solid and beautiful too. Their owners and office staff are amazing as well. Their crews were complete gentlemen toward me. They were always in a good mood and really seem to enjoy their work. We can’t believe how fabulous it turned out. They were happy to come back later for very minor adjustments after it was done. They made a huge job actually fun. I missed the guys and office staff when it was all over!
Caroline S. | April 23, 2019
Quinn and Lol are known to our neighborhood now as the Wood Whisperers. They are incredible artisans, at the height of their craft, who produce the most beautiful work regardless of the awkwardness of the problems they face. Incredibly nice people with the best work ethic I’ve had the pleasure to experience. Would rehire them in a heartbeat and would wait a year for them to be free, if they were booked up, rather than use an inferior company. They are that good, and that worth it. Wonderful family run company with honest, hard working people captained by the lovely Deanne and Scott, who made the whole experience of installing complicated decking in Tiburon a lot less painful than it could easily have been.
Ilyce V. | April 18, 2019
We recently had our deck rebuilt and a new fence built. Clough did an excellent job. They were communicative, did great high quality work, and were easy to work with. We highly recommend them.
Tom K. | April 18, 2019
Finding the right contractor for your construction project can be an exhaustive, frustrating task. Over my 37yrs as a licensed electrical contractor I’ve witnessed many of these struggles. I’ve found Clough Construction to be a top flight contractor. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been a consummate professional. I highly recommend their services.
Agnes W. | April 15, 2019
Clough is our go to contractor whenever we need outdoor construction projects. They’ve handled 3 projects for us and always deliver quality work, on time and on budget. Reliable, honest and hardworking. Wouldn’t use anyone else. Highly recommend.
Diane | August, 2012
Hi Deanne, It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for your company We couldn’t be happier with the deck you built. . From start to finish all your people did an outstanding job. Scott worked with us in making changes and never added costs for the extra work that was done. If we had a question he came over to see for himself what was needed. I was especially impressed with you, Deanne. As soon as I told you how unhappy I was about losing my wisteria you found a nursery with a specialist in vines, someone we could go to for help in choosing our new vine, Several weeks after our job was completed, I called to see if you could recommend a sprinkler repair person. Even though you didn’t know anyone you took the trouble to find someone. Your workmen also went above and beyond. Because the old deck was demolished our dogs couldn’t get out to the yard. The men said they would have enough of the deck done by the weekend. But when Friday came it wasn’t ready. They took the trouble to build a temporary connection between the house and yard so the dogs could walk across it in safety. When the deck was completed the men cleaned up everything. It all looked like new. If you have anyone who would like to talk to a satisfied customer, send them to us, Both my husband and I couldn’t be more pleased.
Mark
You two are fantastic! I appreciate the great work you did and your wonderful attitude. Thank you!
Doris | Napa, CA
Hi Deanne, What a joy it’s been working with Deanne and Scott Clough. Their company recently completed a gorgeous deck surrounding our hot tub and a beautiful gate built perfectly to our specifications. A designer friend of mine dropped by to see the completed projects and her breath was taken away.. To quote her…”This is so elegantly beautiful!” I feel the same. Beyond the expert craftsmanship, each project was completed in a timely manner with the utmost in professionalism. Never have we had a crew clean up after themselves so thoroughly at the end of each day. Deanne and Scott exemplify the words conscientious and professional in the depths of their construction knowledge is astounding! If I had questions, They were answered with a simple phone call, if I left a message, my call was returned immediately. I wholeheartedly recommend Clough Construction!
Fred & Mel
Dear Deanne and Scott, “As usual, it was a real pleasure to do business with you. Our gate is all repaired and we appreciate the fine work by your repair man. Over the years, your men have installed a new deck, built stairs and replaced two large patio doors (no more leaks) and all work was of the highest quality. We tell our friends to call Clough and avoid all the problems in finding a reliable contractor.
Alen & Soo-Hi
Dear Staff at Clough Construction, “We wanted to thank you for the excellent work you all did to build a deck on our house. We appreciate Scott and Deanne’s expertise and friendliness, and Melinda’s courtesy and helpfulness and Rick and George’s thoroughness and responsiveness. We wanted our deck to be perfect, and were very glad to find out you did too. Rick and George listened and responded to our concerns and were always professional and fair in their responses. They always settled issues in our favor and accommodated our requests. We look forward to many years of enjoyment of our new deck, thanks to everyone at Clough Construction. If we ever have future deck or fencing work, we will think first of your company. Feel free to provide our names for future references.
Sue
Hi Scott “The deck is lovely, and we have not a single complaint about anything. We are so pleased with it all. Your brother Mark is fabulous, as was the team he had working here. Deanne was right when she told me at the start of the project, that people miss them when they leave! I can’t thank you enough for delivering exactly what your promised.
I hope you will come by soon for a glass of wine to celebrate – Mark says he will, and perhaps you and Deanne can join us as well. Can we PLEASE soon talk about a couple of other projects we want to get going on!!” Cheers!! Sue PS: I like our deck just as much as any of the ones you showed me prior to the project!
May and Marty
Dear Scott and Deanne, “We used Clough Construction to replace the fence and gates of our home in 2008. They did fine quality work, finished the job in a timely manner as they had promised, and we are very happy with the end result. The owners of the company and all their employees were very pleasant to work with. They were very professional, courteous, and customer service oriented. The company followed through with any issues that come up even if it was months after they had completed the project. The quality of their work was superb and we would without any hesitation use their services again. We really enjoyed working with everyone at the Clough Construction and highly recommend their company.
The Flynn’s
I highly recommend Clough Construction for all decking and fencing needs. They are incredibly Professional and yet friendly. They are the best contractors I have worked with in all our years of contractor projects. Their crews are continuous, hard working and efficient. From the beginning to the end of the project and beyond they are customer service oriented.
Chris
Hi Deanne and Scott, “Just wanted to thank you both for the work Clough performed on our deck. It was a pleasure working with you, and the work done by Bob and Raphael more than met our expectations. We’d be glad to post our positive experience on Yelp.com and Angie’s List with your permission, and of course, feel free to use us as a reference. Again, thanks for providing such a positive experience for us.
Stephanie
Hi Scott, We are very happy with the deck! Thank you for your help and patience with the lay out snag in the beginning and working well with the existing conditions. Your suggestions that we raise the fence was right on and the deep run on the stairs is also nice. Your patience with the picket selection is also appreciated; we are pleased with the final choice and did not feel pressure to pick something that would have been more convenient for you. So thank you. Deanne, Rick and crew were also very easy and pleasant to work with.
Janey | Mill Valley
Ultra professional….super client friendly….high quality workmanship….attention to every detail….always on schedule…..that describes our repeat experiences with Clough Construction. Scott and Deanne and their conscientious crew made even our toughest project easy on us, the homeowner. Thank you Scott and Deanne….Please don’t ever retire!
Rebekah Cunningham | 06/24/2022
Used Clough Construction for a deck build last summer and they did fantastic work and were lovely to work with!
Rodney
Dear Deanne, Everything has been resolved. You guys ROCK! Thank you so much for being so professional across all levels. Rick and team were great to work with too and very good at what they do.
Kathy
Dear Deanne, My husband and I are back from our trip and were so happy to see the great job Scott and his team did on our fence. Our neighbor is also thrilled with the work and the finished product… This fence had been a long time in the process, as you know, thanks to our home insurance bureaucracy and rigidity. I really appreciate your and Scott’s willingness to hang in there with me as I “unknotted” the insurancetangles. Many thanks again to every member of the construction crew… They did an excellent job all around.
Lisa | Mill Valley
We got home late last night and the first thing we did was walk out onto our beautiful new deck. We couldn’t see much but we could we tell it was simply fabulous. It’s not an ugly catwalk anymore! I am surprised how spacious it feels. Just now, there is just a little bit of dawn light and I walked out and had my cup of coffee leaning over the railing and watched the misty fog roll over the redwoods. I just can’t thank you and your crew enough for the fine and professional work you did. I am sorry I didn’t have the chance to tell them in person but I know you will for me. It was a comfort to us to know that while we were dealing with our family issues thousands of miles away — you and your team were taking good care of us.
Glenn | Sausalito
Clough provided the best price and timeframe for our fence project, requiring 150 ft of fence line and four gates. The Clough team of Fausto and Benjamin were excellent and nice to work with. We strongly recommend Clough and are extremely happy with our new fence. We recently undertook a new deck, staircase and French door installation project, and had three bids. Clough came in the highest, but not by much. They also had great recommendations from our friends, and we appreciated their strong support of the community and our local schools. We also knew we wanted a contractor who could be flexible, and sensitive to our changing design plans. Our first impression of the company was speaking on the phone with Deanne, Scott Clough’s wife and business manager. She was very sincere and highly professional. She was very accommodating and customer focused on our needs. We looked at samples of building materials at their showroom, and felt very sure they were the contractors for us. Scott met us at our house and offered some creative design alterations and ideas. The crew worked so diligently with our architect, structural engineer and followed the design plans perfectly. Even the city inspector commented on the high quality and adherence to strict building codes their work is. Their crew were punctual, polite and very professional. Our deck is so solid, I joke you not you could park a tank on it. The French doors were hung so securely and framed beautifully. When we had some issues with a few of the redwood pieces, the foreman and team easily replaced them without any hassle or extra cost. Thank you Scott and Deanne. We will highly recommend you to anyone who has a building deck, fence or other project in mind. Even before we chose them to replace our 800 sq-ft deck, they were providing great advice on how to navigate through the process of gaining a City permit. The job was completed on time and with such attention to detail. The owner’s, Scott and Deanne, followed up, after the work was finished, to make sure that we were happy with the outcome. We would recommend them without ANY hesitation.
Kevin S. | Greenbrae
Clough demo-ed and built a new 8×70′ deck w stairs, railing, pergola for me Nov ’12. I interviewed and rec’d bids from a half a dozen contractors and chose Clough. Top quality service, communication, workmanship, and complete professionalism. I have had numerous projects done on my house over the years and Clough has set a new standard of excellence. They went above and beyond my expectations and I plan on using them again for a couple of new fences along my property as well. The pricing was fair and worth every cent. I highly recommend Clough Construction!
Milton | Tiburon
Clough Construction recently rebuilt a deck at my home. They were among the most professional, communicative and skillful companies I have ever worked with, bar none. They not only did an impeccable job but also went out of their way to make the deck usable before completion for a long-planned for outdoor party. From start to finish, they showed up when they said they would, communicated with clarity and kindness, and finished the work without compromise in record time. Don’t need a deck? Hire them anyway; they’re that good!
Kimmi | Novato
Clough Construction is one of the most professional companies we’ve had the opportunity to work with. They built a fence for us here in Novato that has been praised by just about everyone who sees it – neighbors and contractors alike. Not only do they do beautiful work, but the experience of dealing with the owners and their crews couldn’t be better. They aren’t the cheapest shop in the area but you get what you pay for and then some with Clough.
Karen | San Rafael
The best! After searching for many months and getting numerous bids we decided to go with Clough. I was so impressed with every part of this process: Scott and Deanne were so professional and helped ease me through this, ( as a first time homeowner my funds were a little tight and they worked with me to see how we could make this all work) and the guys who showed up everyday were fast, friendly and such amazing workers. The fence has totally transformed our backyard. I would recommend them to anyone!

Clough Construction is the best outdoor construction partner you can ask for! Scott and Deanne have done numerous projects for us, including adding a deck to the length of our house, and redwood fencing throughout our property. I have also called them for small projects (gate repair) and they are as attentive to these projects as they are to larger ones. Every member of their team is professional and courteous. It’s nice to have a local business and people you can count on. I will always offer a positive reference for Clough Construction, and wish them decades of continued growth.

These guys have done a great job…I have used them twice now…retaining wall and fence. I have had cheaper bids from other places…but the little extra more you pay is worth it in workmanship and most importantly communication. They have my recommendation.

Clough Construction replaced our second story deck with a larger one. Clough was one of several construction companies that I considered for our project. After spending a great deal of time talking to the various companies and getting estimates, it was an easy decision to hire Clough for the job. Now that the job has been completed, I am even happier that we chose them. During the vendor selection process, I quickly came to know that Scott and Deanne Clough are extremely friendly and easy going, while at the same time exhibiting complete professionalism. They made arrangements and escorted us to visit and see firsthand some of the decks that they have built for other customers; we were also able to visit their showroom to see and examine many of the decking material choices. I had many, many questions about the deck engineering, materials, and construction process; Scott and Deanne cheerfully and knowledgeably answered all of my questions. Their communication skills are excellent, and they responded very quickly whenever I left voice or email messages. Once we made the decision to hire Clough, the job was scheduled for two to three weeks later. The Clough team kept us informed about their schedule, and they showed up exactly on time. During the deck construction process, Rick and Forrest, the principle crewmembers that worked on our deck, exhibited the same level of professionalism as Scott and Deanne, and they were also very friendly. The crew members always showed up on time, they were nice to and appropriate with our very young children, they answered all of my many questions (again, cheerfully), and at the end of each work day before leaving, they thoroughly cleaned up the work area. I watched much of the building process and I can attest to the fact that no corners were cut. With the job now completed, I can say that the deck is excellent in both structural and finish quality. I highly recommend Clough Construction.

I stopped by your booth at the Marin Home and Garden Expo on Saturday, June 2. I spoke with a lovely woman, probably Mrs Clough. I took your card to remind myself to send you an email to let you know how much my husband (Rich Carbine) and I are enjoying the deck you replaced for us. It is as beautiful as the day you were here. I look up our house receipts and discovered you replaced our old, termite invested deck with Timbertech in August 2003! I couldn’t believe it was that long ago. We love to sit outside and comment on how there is NO maintenance other than sweeping the leaves off of it. Your installers were here on the hottest day, pouring concrete foundation footings. I could barely get them to accept a pitcher of ice water. My husband is a retired electrical contractor so has always done home maintenance/remodel himself. So it is rare we find satisfaction with someone we hire! We thank Clough Construction every day as we leave.

Clough Construction has done major and minor jobs for us for the past 15 years. What impresses me most about them is their integrity and workmanship. They don’t take shortcuts, and they don’t do sloppy work. Their first job for us was to rebuild our deck; we have been enjoying it without a moment’s trouble. Most recently, they built a fence, and the deer no longer view my garden as a buffet. My daughter was a toddler when they did the deck, and she was fascinated by the work as it progressed. Soon, the guys began showing her things and letting her “help.” All their jobs were finished on time, and every aspect was professionally done. I highly recommend them.

We wish working with any contractor could be as easy as working with Clough Construction. From the initial meeting through the final clean up Clough is the easiest Construction Company we’ve dealt with. We have remodeled our entire house, and it would have been much less stressful if Clough could have done it all!

Dear Scott and Deanne and Clough Const., “Thank you for doing such a great job on our fences! They look so great! Your crew was very professional and polite, too. Thank you for doing those final changes for us. We will definitely refer our friends to you.
