To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Bob Hughes and his team
at Sawhorse Limited. As a commercial real estate construction manager, I recently
had the opportunity to work with Bob on two substantial tenant improvement
projects, and I can confidently say that Sawhorse Limited delivered outstanding
results on both.
The first project was the build-out of a 142,000-square-foot manufacturing facility
designed for the fabrication of bath components for a major supplier of
prefabricated bathroom renovations. The second involved a 119,000-square-foot
tenant improvement for a local logistics and manufacturing company. Both
projects were first generation improvements within existing shell industrial
buildings, presenting unique challenges that Bob and his team handled with
professionalism and precision.
Throughout both engagements, Sawhorse Limited demonstrated unwavering
reliability, excellent attention to detail, and a consistent, transparent approach to
pricing. Bob was always accessible, proactive in addressing issues, and dedicated
to ensuring that project milestones were met without compromising quality. His
ability to maintain schedule and budget integrity—even in the face of changing
tenant requirements—was particularly impressive.
What stands out most about working with Bob is his practical, solution-oriented
mindset and his personal commitment to seeing a job done right. His thorough
knowledge of construction and tenant improvement work, paired with a hands-on
management style, made him an invaluable partner from start to finish. Bob sees
projects through the eyes of a real estate owner, knowing where to balance
quality, timeliness and quality to get the job done right. He is a critical part of my

 
 

team and a major asset considering my responsibility managing complicated
projects across the United States.
I would gladly work with Bob Hughes and Sawhorse Limited again, and I highly
recommend them for any commercial or industrial construction projects requiring
a dependable, experienced general contractor.
Sincerely,
Charles Tinsley

Bob Hughes has worked for me and my associates on a number of jobs from construction of a simple guesthouse at my home to large commercial projects. I have extensive experience working with contractors on my development projects and have dealt with dozens of companies in a variety of fields.

Bob is one of the best general contractors I know. He is diligent, honest, fair and reasonable to work with. His attention to detail is very focused. He is very competent in all areas of construction. He is demanding of his subcontractors and does not accept shoddy work. Even better, he is on time and on budget.

I highly recommend him for any job you might be considering.

Bob Hughes is a lifesaver. He stepped in to help us complete our home remodel after a bad experience with another General Contractor here in the Valley. One half of our home was completely gutted and Bob agreed to help us complete the project, not many contractors would have done that. Our project then took on such a professional edge, from making quality changes to the initial plan, each phase coming in on schedule and staying within the budget plan that Sawhorse Limited presented to us. Bob is an expert in the industry and that comes across in every thorough detail. We would contract with Sawhorse again to either build or remodel another home in the future!
