Built for
Business.
Ruff Construction builds the places Colorado does business — restaurant buildouts, franchise tenant improvements, and light commercial — with a self-perform carpentry crew that controls schedule and quality from the first stud to the final punch.
Where We Build.
Commercial is bought differently than residential — and we run it differently: scoped bids, schedules of values, monthly pay applications, and a superintendent on site.
Restaurant & Hospitality
Ground-up and tenant-finish restaurant work — hood, fire suppression, grease, and health-department sequencing coordinated from day one.
Capabilities →Franchise Programs
Prototype-set tenant improvements for franchise concepts entering Colorado — built to brand standards, delivered on the opening date.
Capabilities →Corporate, Retail & Office TI
Tenant improvements and remodels for landlords, property managers, and corporate facilities teams — clean closeouts, complete paperwork.
Capabilities →Residential & Outdoor Living
The craft that built our name: Trex Pro Preferred decks, pergolas and louvered roofs, remodels, additions, and basements.
Services →Self-Performed. Schedule-Controlled.
Most GCs broker every trade. We swing hammers. Because our crews self-perform rough framing through finish carpentry, we control the critical path instead of waiting on it.
- Rough to finish, one crew. Framing, blocking, doors and hardware, millwork, trim — self-performed, not subbed out.
- Two ways to hire us. As your general contractor, or as a commercial carpentry sub to your GC — we already work GC-to-GC.
- Coordinated trade partners. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, hood and fire suppression, refrigeration — scoped, scheduled, and verified.
- A superintendent on every commercial site. Daily logs, photo documentation, and a schedule your team can see.
Proof, Not Promises.

A Commercial Process, End to End.
Franchise development managers and landlords don't buy promises — they buy process. Ours runs from first takeoff to final lien waiver.
Start a Bid →Preconstruction & Bid
Takeoffs from your full architectural set, scoped subcontractor bids, and written inclusions and exclusions — no surprises priced in.
Contract & Schedule of Values
AIA-format agreements, a schedule of values that maps to your draw process, and a construction schedule you can hold us to.
Build
Superintendent-led sites, daily logs and photos, change orders priced and signed before the work — never after.
Pay Applications
G702/G703-format applications on the first of the month, every month, with conditional and unconditional lien waivers from every sub.
Closeout
As-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, and a zero-item punch list — the closeout package your asset manager actually wants.

“Jesse is a true craftsman and cares about his work and his crew. He is professional, fiscally accurate, and easy to work with. He helped to build our business building and was always available for questions and worked steadily through the permit/routing circus and we ended up with an excellent building. Thank you.”
“We had a great experience with Ruff 2 Finish. From the first meeting we really liked Jesse’s energy and attitude. Once the work started it was done quickly and cleanly.
