Reviews of local pros in Aloha, Oregon

In March we looked for bids to resurface our 3 decks nine of which were compelling. A friend recommended JTR Construction and Josh came to review the projects. He identified several structural issues and made other design proposals all of which were spot on. Then came 3 weeks of hard detail oriented work. Josh and his partner clearly take pride in their work and were respectful of our property. We are so thrilled with the end product especially as the structural issues were addressed and the cosmetic issues could not be more beautiful. This is as good as it gets and we are very grateful.

We highly recommend JTR Construction! The quality of work is top-notch, beyond our expectations. Our completed deck is beautiful. Also, Josh designed a privacy fence (with our input) that is custom, solid and artistic. Josh and his associate, Darren, do all the work themselves and are very experienced. From the initial contact to completion, the communication was clear, no surprises. Excellent work.

Josh is truly an amazing professional! I wish there were more contractors like him. Exceptional service and a true craftsman! The finished deck was beyond my expectation! Thank you!!!

The quality of the work is perfection! Very detailed and does not disappoint. Always at the job when they said. Best deck contractors in the area. Total Satisfaction.

We are so pleased with the composite deck that Josh and Darren built at our home. We had a sinking deck and they tore it out, poured several concrete footings, shored up a sinking beam, built an incredibly strong frame and meticulously installed a Timbertech deck that is just awesome. Josh's honest input with the design & color combo was invaluable. We would highly recommend them & we would definitely hire them for another project.

We have been looking to remodel our deck for quite some time and gotten quotes from different deck builders. Some too expensive, and some unresponsive. We found Josh online and were very impressed by his experience and his honest feedback of what we can accomplish with our project. But he was only available after 6 months to work on our deck. After meeting with more than 5 other companies and not very satisfied with their bids, we decided to wait for Josh for however long it might be and it was worth it. We were actually away when the project started and we came home to a beautiful deck. The whole process was stress-free. He knows what he is talking about. His recommendations were spot-on, from the materials to design to final execution. We couldn't be happier. Our next door neighbor was very impressed as well and employed Josh for his deck too. I cannot recommend Josh and team enough. Really appreciate all his help/expertise.

I wish all contractors worked with the integrity and quality that Josh does. Having our new deck installed was such a pleasant experience. Josh showed up everyday, focused on our project from start to finish. He never left our job once he started, listened to our requests, offered his advice and treated our home as if it was his own. Josh stands by his work and even 7 months after he finished, he was just a phone call away to come back to tighten some cable for our railing (which he said would loosen a bit). I would recommend JTR Construction to anyone who wants attention to detail, getting the work done correctly the first time.

We used JTR Construction (Josh Rauch) to build a new fairly large deck. The project included taking out an existing deck and replacing it with a new deck and railing including two sets of steps. Josh was easy to work with and accommodated our requests while also making recommendations that would make the project better and in some cases save costs. Josh is very focused on doing the job right and is good at foreseeing potential issues. We also appreciated that the crew was good in cleaning up the construction site.

We are very happy with the project and would highly recommend JRT. We continue to receive positive comments from family and friends.

It was such a positive experience having JTR Construction build a beautiful deck and benches.
The workmanship is exquisite and Josh is meticulous with detail and design.
The benches have a unique design and all who see them, are extremely impressed with the them. Have received so many compliments, on both the deck and benches.
Josh keeps you informed of the progress, all the way. He was right-on with timing and great to explain what would be taking place each day.
Josh and his assistant, Darrin, work so well together. They are extremely professional, as well as both having a great sense of humor. A great combination, that is hard to find.
Other reviews have said it was worth the wait for JTR, and it is true. I am not sure words adequately express what a great experience it has been, and how perfect everything turned-out.
I feel very fortunate to have had JTR referred to me, as we are now enjoying an absolutely beautiful deck.
A Huge Thank You, to Josh (JTR Construction)!

Josh was amazing to work with during the planning and construction of our deck! He’s been doing this a long time and he’s an expert. We’d use him again in a minute!

After securing five bids, I chose JTR Construction to replace my old rotting cedar deck with composite decking. Josh impressed me the moment he came to assess my deck project. He knows what he is talking about, is a true craftsman and dedicated to doing the job right. He was booked out a few months, but it was worth the wait! Josh and Darren did not have it easy tackling my deck during the wettest April in record, but they powered through and got it done on time. Great communication throughout the project, keen attention to detail, and quality workmanship. I also appreciated Josh’s subtle design recommendations which significantly improved the flow of the deck. Josh and Darren are amazing, and I will see them again in a few months for another project.

I've used JTR Construction for two projects. Josh is great to work with. He salvaged a deck-gone-wrong project and then created the gazebo roof. A year later, he and his assistant took a general idea of what I wanted for a pergola/sun shade and figured out how to make it happen and look wonderful. He even achieved my stretch goal to have a barn door in the center panel of the deck surround.

I had to wait a few months for him to be available, but his workmanship is definitely worth the wait! Josh is on-time to the project. He closely tracks the budget and lets me know and decide on additional costs. He is efficient and all the work was done within the scheduled time frame.

JTR Construction built our new Azek deck in April, 2025. He and his crew did a fine, meticulous job in constructing the new deck. We couldn't believe how it far exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more pleased. The pricing was transparent and fair.

Josh and the crew were every thoughtful in how the job was planned, so that it caused the least amount of disturbance to us during construction. They were neat and efficient and communicated very clearly with us during the job.

We give them an A+, and do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone contemplating building a new deck or replacing an old one.

Josh and his team did a fantastic job. It was done very professionally, fast, and it was beautifully crafted. They were sensitive to our needs. It could not have been done better. We strongly recommend Josh to anyone who wants a great job.

Josh and Darren did a terrific job rejuvenating our deck. They replaced our 20yr old cedar boards with composite boards and our cedar railing with facia-mounted cable railing as well as adding a rain shield under the deck to keep everything dry beneath. You could set your clock by them as they always started at or before 8:00AM. They left the site clean at the end of every workday. When Josh found some previously undiscovered structural issues we discussed what the fix should be and he got to work. The work was professional and highest quality. We'll likely be asking him back next budget cycle to attack the boardwalk leading to our front door.

JTR Construction recently completed a beautiful deck replacement for us. Josh did an incredible job putting up our new deck and reconfigured the stairs to flow more efficiently. We could not be happier with the job he and Darren did as the end result was above and beyond our expectations...you can see from the pictures that are attached!

What impressed us most was how professional they are. They are reliable, showed up on time everyday, were extremely detailed oriented and always followed up if we had questions or concerns during the entire process.

We highly recommend JTR Construction if you are looking for someone to doing any work regardless if it’s deck work, fences, etc. as they go above any beyond to make the customer happy.

Thank you, JTR Construction! Our deck is beautiful and all the structural work you did to enhance the existing structure make us feel ready to entertain!

JTR Construction is well worth the wait! No wonder they are so busy. We asked for a bid in October, and Josh was timely in getting us the very reasonable bid. He told us he couldn't get to it until February, and true to his word that was when he came to build us a fabulous deck and front porch. I can't say enough about how good JTR and his crew is. Simply fantastic!

I highly recommend going with Josh (JTR) for your new deck. Josh built our family the most beautiful deck out of English Walnut Azek and he did it at a cost that was unmatched by 4 other highly rated local portland deck companies. Literally 25% off the other bids! I would shake the hand of anyone who could build a more stable, precise, cleaner looking deck. He did not cut corners, dug deep footings and used a lot of cement, fully flashed the entire rim, replaced all my cedar siding and left me with minimal paint touch-up. He addressed all of my questions along the way. His communication was great the entire job. He and his crew were on time from start to finish and cleaned up the job site as if they were never here. I not a huge reviewer online, but Josh went over the top and we hope to enjoy this deck for many many years to come. Thank you Josh and team for your hard work!

Josh and Darrin both professional in communications and demonstrated a high degree of installed professionalism. I would recommend JTR Construction to anyone wanting quality installation of decks and patio covers. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received. Well done Josh.

Josh and Brennan (I hope I got that right!) were very responsive and professional. They showed up every day on time and actually worked!!!! They were very easy to communicate with and responsive to phone calls when not on site. They cleaned up very well before leaving. And saving the best for last, the deck is AMAZING!!!🤩

Josh and Darren were great to work with! Josh gave me a good price and a suggestion to change the footprint of my deck that none of the other 5 contractors we got bids from suggested. Josh’s suggestion greatly improved our deck living space. He also had a better warranty for his work than the others and it’s clear he takes pride in his work. The deck came out beautifully!
