RIVER MILL CONSTRUCTION, LLC

I cannot think of a time when I have been so completely satisfied with a contractor from beginning to end. Matt Pomeroy and his crew made the entire process extremely easy for us. I don't have a single complaint and we are absolutely thrilled with the results, which are truly stunning The project we chose certainly wasn't cheap but the final product was worth every single penny we paid. The crew worked very hard and very diligently all the way through to completion and was always careful in whatever they did to take care of our property.

Access to the rear of our condo was very difficult as we are on a ravine in the middle section of a 6 unit building. Although the effort required was considerable, the River Mill team was always professional and focused. They obviously take great pride in their work. The job was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to our home. The new windows have proved to be energy efficient and were seamlessly installed. The owner, Matt Pomeroy, was thorough and responsive from the initial estimate, plans and permitting, through completion. We highly recommend River Mill Construction!

I was referred to River Mill Construction to obtain drawings for my fence and screened in porch. Matt Pomeroy drew up very detailed plans to submit to the city for a permit. Everything was 100% and Matt was very quick to respond and answer all of my questions and also offered suggestions. You can definitely trust that River Mill Construction will get the job done accurately and for the right price! I'll certainly be referring this company to everyone i know and this is the only company i will work with for future projects. Nice work!!!!!!

Hi Matt Thank you so much for the wonderful, professional job you have all done.  I can honestly say you are without doubt the most, honorable, professional decent man I have ever worked with on a project of this type.  It has been so refreshing to not have to worry about the quality of the work, or that we might be ripped off because of the distance. I would wholeheartedly recommend you and your team to anyone in the future. With very best regards James

They did a great job. They were always professional and always showed up when they said they would be here. For several weeks after the initial installation, we experienced some leaking during rains. Matt and his crew kept working at the issue until they got it right. Matt was great to work with and promptly answered/returned calls until the work was totally complete.

Great design and craftsmanship

Took far longer than it needed to. There were days (many) when no one showed up.

We couldn't be more pleased. Each project was done on time and on budget, and we were impressed with the level of communication we had with the builder. They really cover every base! It was a pleasure to sit down with Matt and design our project, exploring ways to get the look we were going for without blowing the budget. The quality of the work is top-notch and the guys who were on the jobsite every day were polite and kept the project area clean and orderly (which was important because we lived in the house during much of the remodel. We're truly happy customers!

They did a great job. It did take a little longer, but they found damaged frames that need to be replaced.

Matt from River Mill was very responsive to my request for an estimate to tear down my existing screened porch and build a 3-Season room.  He had drawings within a week, and when we met to discuss the project, he had good ideas and understood the permitting process and the specific cost of different products.  We signed the contract and payment was due in installments, which was absolutely fine.  The room was 12X20 (with a cathedral ceiling) and cost $67,000.  His team built an incredibly beautiful and quality Sunroom that we are very pleased with.  It exceeded our expectations as to quality and functionality.  We suggested a certain type of window, and Matt was very accommodating and found exactly what we wanted.  We added a heater/A/C unit just recently, at Matt's initial suggestion, that should make the room comfortable year-round.  We had a problem moving an electrical line in our yard, and Matt kept on the electricians until they did it correctly.  So, his follow-up was excellent.

The process of building was not easy or fun.  Expect a large dumpster in your drive-way for multiple weeks and workers taking over your garage and home (to some extent).  The project took longer than anticipated (13 weeks), and toward the end, it was hard getting the workers to complete the final touches every day (due to other projects they were working on).  We did not pass the first electrical inspection, and the Dublin inspector came one day and the electricians (subcontractors) were not finished, so it took three tries to get the inspection passed.  There is a small level of arrogance or rudeness to the communications between us.  When I complained about something, I may not get a text response until 11:30 at night.  When the new door did not fit, I was asked to let them nail plywood over the door until the new door came in (to which I refused).  It took two weeks for the new door to come in so I am glad I refused.  One worker had to use the bathroom every day, and it was an intrusion until I complained, but Matt got him to stop.  While the actual construction is a pain, I would recommend this construction company to anyone, and I probably will use them to replace my deck.  Expect some annoyance and disruption, but over-all the end-product is well worth it.

River Mill had previously built our deck in 2005. The same footers were used, but  the floor was replaced with a Trex-like product. The construction is very solid and attractive. The crew worked hard and finished in good time, even with the rainy days. Communication was always prompt throughout the process. We know that Matt will always make things right if any problems arise. There have been rave reviews from a number of neighbors.

Matt Pomeroy promptly responded to our first call and arrived the next day for measurements and conversation about what we wanted. He emailed back plans the next day. He mad many helpful suggestion as we went through about 3 iterations of the design finally deciding on just a deck. We had some special things we wanted like very shallow steps (almost a ramp) and Matt was able to do that for us. He also assisted us with getting a metal railing from Fortin Iron Works. He also took care of the proper building permits and inspections.
Actual construction was completed by Sean and Adam and they were excellent also. I could tell from day 1 they were very professional. We would talk to them about small things we wanted done a certain way and they were always agreeable to work with. They are also, in my opinion, excellent carpenters who can do everything needed on a construction site.
They also kept the work site very clean. At the end of each day they returned the old stairs to our back door so the dogs could go out and do their business without us having to take them on a leash. They worked during some of the coldest weather in November and kept the job going.
We are planning another project for this year and will want to work with Matt, Sean and Adam again.

Excellent quality and great experience working with Matt. The addition of the roof and the new deck is great! My dogs are aging and the ramp is very convenient. Through phone and emails was able to expedite the estimate and Matt had initial drawings in no time. Matt was very gracious to offer me to replace the entire deck at an extremely reasonable price along with the custom roof. At the end of each work day, the area was picked up and at the end - I didn't need to clean up even a loose piece of paper! The quality of work is excellent and Matt guarantees the results. The care, and quality of work done speaks volumes. would like to post pictures of before and after but don't see where I can do that. Highly recommend this company.

Matt was very helpful in suggesting what steps we should take to get the problem resolved.

River Mill met with us after setting the appointment when I called them on a week-end. We showed Matt the site in the rain and he didn't like how the structure would have to be attached to the house near windows. I offered another site on solid wall and Matt was very happy with my suggestion. He then drew up plans for what we wanted at our kitchen table at this first meeting. We loved the plans and hired River Mill that day. When our turn on RM's project list came up, it went very fast. The posts were set in concrete below the frost line and the entire structure was built in virtually 2 days with the third day finishing details. The work is high quality and we are very proud of our new outdoor space. We live out there now as much as we can. I would recommend this company to anyone who needed building or remodeling done. We plan to use them again. The hardest thing about them is waiting your turn on their scheduled project list. We waited about 5 weeks which is what we were told in the beginning. Everything went great and we are very impressed with River Mill. We also love the compliments on our new pergola from neighbors and passing golfers.

They were there within a few days of calling. Matt was very professional and personable. I decided to let a family member who is in the construction business do the deck. Money was an issue. I will think of them for another project.

Although my process of "sprucing" up the front of the house has now turned into a "water damage nightmare", I still have these plans and this company in mind for the finished porch project, once the damage issues have been corrected. I am very pleased with what I have aquired from this company so far.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!
Exceeded all expectations! (And they were set high.)
The QUALITY of this work is is ABOVE normal. I picked this company over others because of the A+ rating.
I came in with super high expectations and bad past experience with shady contractors. He assured me of his quality and dedication to building great structures. He answered all my questions and concerns in a very timely fashion. And the work was done carefully and not rushed. Matt was very responsive and on the ball with every aspect of this project.
I wanted a nice big southern back porch, ceiling fan ( with pillars) and open stairs. That is what he gave me.
My main concern was adding an architecture element to the back of my house and I wanted something that was an extension of the house, not just a deck. He provided a very and quot;Beefyand quot; porch. Very well built and sturdy.
Even the building inspector said it was the nicest and well built structure he had seen in 30 years. I got exactly what I wanted and wouldn't change a thing!
Do not hesitate to use this company! You get what you pay for. Build it right the first time.

I asked for an estimate and compared it with another. I was impressed with his experience, estimate etc. but I chose another contractor for a couple of reasons that do not detract from my opinion of this one.

We were limited on space so Matt designed a bump-out that perfectly accomodates our table and chairs. The structure is strong and we have had no problems. They were efficient and professional

The men who performed the work were very friendly and very professional. They cleaned up each night before they left. The actual work only took a couple of days and the workmen made an extra effort to make the job look professional. The only problem I had was with the estimating process. The owner was the person doing the estimate. He quoted me a price and I signed the contract and returned it to him with a check for half of the full amount. A couple of days before the work began he e-mailed me to tell me that his foreman said that the vinyl post covers wouldn't fit the existing 4x4 posts supporting the front porch and they would need to be replaced. The additional cost was $200.00 and there was a section in fine print of the contact that covered the additional cost for the replacement of the posts. In spite of this I would consider using them again.

The interaction with River Mill was great and they were responsive, but I have some design problems, and they're solution wasn't as good. I don't want to put a negative review on them, because my interaction with them was great.

These guys are real professionals. Matt did a good design and when they dug the holes and ran into problems with our property were quick to adjust with us. Everything they did was done with great care and professionalism, and they kept the site and structure clean throughout the month or two process. When they had to disturb existing landscaping, they carefully restored it as well as they could. Although we had to scale back on our original expectations because of geologic factors, they did a fabulous job of accomodating and gave us honest advice on the options we considered. In the course of doing their work, they corrected shoddy work done by a previous contractor on a set of French doors from the bedroom, and finished the job with attention to style and detail. I would highly recommend this company. They are true craftsmen and proud of their work.
