What Clients Say..

Wooden Deck
They were very fair price wise. Very honest. Cleaned up after themselves, finished the work in a decent amount of time, and kept their word on everything they said they would provide. The best part was no hidden costs. I am very grateful—my home looks beautiful!

Minerva A.

Wooden Deck
James was very professional and guided us through the install process. He was able to suggest design ideas, what would be most cost effective, and what plants would work best for the look we wanted. I highly recommend him and his team who worked through a heavy downpour of rain until the job was completed.

Adam O.

Wooden Deck
We are hiring Cruger Contracting again. James the owner was great and offered lots of good advice. I would recommend him to anyone asking for help with anything lawn or landscaping related.

Tara W.

Wooden Deck
Very professional and responsive. Reasonable cost for the work done.

Cheryl T.

Wooden Deck
I contacted Cruger Contracting about grading my backyard up to the back of my shed because there was originally a steep drop off. James came over and checked it out and got a quote to me within 24 hours that was very reasonable. When the weather broke a couple weeks later he came over and had the job done over the weekend. Even might come back in April to hydroseed it. 10/10 would recommend. Great communication and timely.
