“We initially heard about Creative Abundance through a neighbor who was satisfied with the design and quality of a deck extension and outdoor kitchen installed by Ryan DeRuby. Our project involved the addition of a pergola with fans to an existing deck. We valued Ryan’s ability to carefully listen to our needs and ideas and generate a structure that was functional as well as elegant, and safe as well as durable. His attention to detail can be seen in the overall design as well as the hardware accents, including spindles, brackets and copper trim. We appreciated Ryan’s convention of making “daily rounds,” enabling us to weigh in on details regarding the work slated for completion that day. The project was completed within the estimated timeframe and to o ur complete satisfaction. Our pergola is the “crown jewel” of our outdoor living space and we enjoy many hours each season basking in this “creative abundance.” Thanks, Ryan!”
