The Riverview Company

.

Steven and team were very responsive - always answered the phone, polite, courteous, honest, clear.  They completed the work to our expectations.  The project was comparatively difficult - remove the roof deck  floor decking and steps for access by roofers and rebuild the floor deck, steps, and deck sides using composites.  Riverview worked well with the roofers (separate contractor) and supported them with carpentry and leak detection.  Because of the complexity and unusual nature of the job there was one error during installation, but that was addressed competently and professionally working with the roofers.  Great job by Steven and Nate! I highly recommend this company!

We got to know them through a next door neighbor.  For a great price we got both design and build together.  They're very professional and competent.  Nice people.

I recently became an Angie's List member, for reasons unrelated to needing a contractor and unrelated to Riverview (needed a new dentist.)  One of the first things I told myself when I became a member was that I should immediately see if Riverview is listed, because I should immediately write them a well-deserved, glowing review.  But then I thought to myself, what if I do that and then all these people start to know about them and then we will never have them available to us anymore for future projects?!  But I cannot be selfish and not share the wealth.  Riverview is such an amazing company, with such skilled, professional, wonderful, and nice people that it would be an injustice that more people don't know about them, even if it means we may have to wait in line a bit more in the future.

The company is headed by a husband-wife team, Steven and Juli.  Steven is the master carpenter and Juli has an interior design background, and also takes care of a lot of the communicating/emailing back and forth, and site visits.  I cannot say enough great things about Juli.  She is just such a wonderful person.  She is so super nice, and always responds to emails/phone calls right away.  She is an excellent listener, and really listens so she could understand what you are looking for, what you want, what you need, and tries to find out what your style and preferences are.  Then she makes useful suggestions and gives you great ideas, not imposing her own style on you, but going by what you, the client, likes.  She is detail-oriented, never tires of our endless questions and emails, and her design background has certainly come in handy for us time and time again.  She never tries to sell you anything you don't need, doesn't talk over your head, and is always helpful and friendly and enthusiastic.  And her design ideas are great and input useful.  Plus she is someone I'd want to be friends with outside of work!  She loves kids, she loves people... she is just an all-around wonderful wonderful person.

My husband handled a lot of the technical parts of our projects, so I am not as familiar with Steven.  But even my amateur eyes can tell from the finished products that he has great technical skills, and is so good at sizing up a space and knowing what needs to be done, what can be done, and what shouldn't or cannot be done.  Our house looks so nice now thanks to him and his team.

I have never encountered a contracting/home-improvement company before that is not only professional and skillful, but good at communication, goes above and beyond what is necessary to make your home wonderful as if it is their own, and is a joy to interact with.  Never a headache, never a frustration.  Zero complaint from us, and we're on our third project with them!

Our relationship with them all started with our neighbor recommending Riverview to us when we were looking for someone to help us re-do our portico.  We contacted them and immediately got a response.  That project got done, and we started another one the following year.  Our third one will be starting this week.  It is a bit of a pain to go without a kitchen for weeks, especially with young kids.  But we cannot wait for the end result!  And there is nobody else I would entrust this project to other than Steven and Juli.  Thank you Riverview!

Tremendous combination of designer and builder.  Julie and her husband and totally reliable, responsive and practical.  It is like no other experience we've had.
