Can't say enough good things about this company! Want something done that will meet or exceed your expectations then contact Rhoades Construction. After contact Rhoades and explaining to them that we need an area cleared for a new out building. They rolled in cleared the area, leveled it, packed it down. After the building was erected. Rhoades returned completed the flat work, put in a new driveway and backfield everything. Everything came out AMAZING. Professional crew! I highly recommend this company you will be totally satisfied

Philip and Chris did septic work for us and they were amazing as they navigated the Rocky Mountains of our land. They laid new piping for a project that we had and were diligent and professional as they were efficient. The two of them were a good team. We are thankful for their work as we move forward in our renovation.

I'm a general contractor (S&T Construction) and have hired Rhoades for several projects large and small. Every staff member is professional, communicative, and very flexible and reasonable to work with! Their superintendents and crew members do excellent work, and they communicate ahead of time about any changes/unexpected issues. I look forward to continuing to work with them!
