Reviews of local pros in Springfield, Oregon

The crew did an expansive job including a pool deck, fire pit, and floors. The work was mainly concrete related. We were very impressed and satisfied with the work. Robert was always on-sight and very involved. He was creative and willing to work with our goals/vision. He knows his concrete. The finished product looks amazing and we would definitely recommend.

tl;dr: I trusted Robert (RGS) with a large portion of my life savings, and he repaid that trust by building my family a beautiful addition. Thank you.
I hired Robert last year to build a ~900 square foot addition on my house in Eugene. The job comprised a foundation, some demo, framing, tying in to the existing structure, windows and doors, and siding. I had pulled permits myself and the job was ready to go, but my previous contractor had backed out. Robert quickly bid the job, his bid was reasonable, and we agreed. He showed up when he said he would, he had the skills and equipment to do all parts of the job, and the quality of his work was impeccable.
Robert’s framing quality is extremely high. I would tease him from time to time about making things too perfectly - he approaches framing as though he’s doing finish carpentry. Most everything I ever put a tape on was within ⅛”. For example, I had asked him to make the crawlspace access hole between 25-30”. After he left for the day I was curious which number he chose and put a tape on it - it was 30”. Not 30 1/16, not 29 15/16. 30 exactly, as close as I could measure. Our addition featured vaulted ceilings with site-cut rafters. Some contractors told me this put the job in a higher skill tier compared to trusses. Robert handled it without missing a beat.
The quality of the exterior trim and cedar siding he installed was similarly high. He told me he had a job early in his career in which he essentially ran a table saw for a year. He also builds wood furniture as a hobby. That kind of mastery is reflected in the work that he does.
Robert had no problem with the custom features that I wanted, such as zip tape, fancy house wrap, a certain pattern for window flashings. He would be a good choice for jobs featuring advanced framing or additional energy measures. His approach here fit a theme across the whole job - he wanted to give me exactly what I wanted, but also to go the extra mile and deliver something with extra features and details.
He’s extremely efficient with materials. He spent extra time using up every piece of wood, cutting things exactly once, and so on. I would order wood budgeting for 10% waste and he consistently beat that, to the point that I had to return some siding at the end. He even used some extra cedar fascia for a custom bit of window trim (gluing and planing it). Wood isn’t at pandemic pricing anymore, but even so he likely saved me a few thousand dollars with his care here.
I gather that a large portion of his business is concrete flatwork and foundation repair. His flatwork (as in my garage floor) is beautiful. My brother worked concrete for a time and when he visited and saw it, he was impressed. He didn’t do foundation repair for me, but from spending a few months around him I’d hire him over a larger company like ramjack or terra firma. If he comes in under their pricing, it’s not because he lacks anything, it’s because his business model is more efficient (no commissioned sales, advertising, etc.) I would hire him again in a heartbeat. -
Do not recommend. This is one example to how RGS will leave concrete on your siding. When I questioned Robert about it, he used obscene language, resorted to name calling, and refused to take responsibility. He used excuses such as, "the tape wouldn't stick to the siding to hold the plastic up." 15 years of experience should not equate to such poor craftsmanship and accountability. His integrity and quality is in question.

We couldn’t be happier with our new patio and outdoor living space and the experience of working with our contractor RGS Contracting. From the very beginning, it was clear we were partnering with someone artistic, creative, deeply skilled and appreciated working within our budget. Robert is a true problem solver and an incredible collaborator, always listening to our ideas and finding thoughtful ways to bring our vision to life.
Every step of the process was thoughtfully crafted, from the layout to the finishing details, and the final result is an outdoor living space that feels both beautiful, personal and unique. We know this will be the place where our family will make so many wonderful memories for years to come. We’re truly grateful for the care, talent, and dedication that was put into this project by RGS Contracting and look forward to using them again. -

I can’t say enough great things about this company, they are such a hard working family owned business who works so hard to provide fast and honest services. 100% give them a shot, you won’t regret it!

HB Hauling (Shawn & Marla) are wonderful folks that provide effective and efficient waste removal services! I e hired them twice now and they did a great job both times. Very pleased with their services and that they go the extra mile to recycle any waste picked up.

HB Junk Hauling was fantastic to work with! I had a really nasty project that they took on. They were responsive, worked me into their schedule right away and went above and beyond to make sure everything I needed was taken care of. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this duo for everyone who understands the importance of supporting trustworthy and professional local business owners. 👏

Good price, the owners are the workers. They packed efficiently, were considerate of our property, and didn't bang or throw stuff around. Picked up all the annoying little pop bottle caps. Will definitely call them back in the future when we tackle the garage.

5 stars? That's all I can give? How about 500 stars!
Thinking of a roll off? I was, but I'm so glad I didn't go that route this time.
I was a little embarrassed about the state of my property when I was getting ready to have HB come out. "So much garbage" and I felt guilty about it.
It ended up being an amazing experience. The time and care that was put into the sorting and removal of my items made me feel so much better about getting my space cleaned out.
Service was amazing: Timely, efficient, professional and courteous. They came to help me at a time when I just couldn't do it myself, and far exceeded any expectations I had.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these folks to my closest family and friends. Or even have them over for dinner, they were really that awesome.
Truly, if you care about who you hire and where your money is going, AND also want top notch service, look no further. -
We recently purchased a home that had an old structure on the back of the property that needed to be removed. I got quotes from three vendors, and HB Junk Hauling was one-third of the highest quote and 60% of the next highest. The low price made me nervous initially (I tend to believe you get what you pay for), but I was very happy to be proven wrong in this case. Shawn and Marla did the job quickly and professionally, and went above and beyond to help us out when issues came up.
They are saved in my phone for all future jobs. Choosing to work with them was one of the best decisions I've made this year. I suspect you will feel the same. -
I've hired HB Junk Hauling a couple of times and have been very happy with their work. This family run business is reliable, affordable, and they work efficiently. They are friendly and I like that they are big on recycling and resourcing! I admire their work ethic and their commitment to community. They are the only hauling company I will ever use on my properties.
