I bought a "forever" condo with a fabulous view and great bones about a year and a half ago. I've been working on reno since then. The last things on my list were the kitchen and master bath - 2 big ticket, time-consuming projects. I had a number of bids - Roobiks was neither the cheapest or most expensive. I chose them because the estimator (Gabe) was the owner, he understood and respected my budget, made intelligent suggestions, and did not waste my time. I got to choose my tile, granite, faucets, etc. and there was no bait and switch. His people showed up on time, were competent, friendly, and the project was done on time and on budget and with no drama. It took under 4 weeks. He pitches in personally to make sure things stay on track. Excellent communication. But above that - beyond that - the results are unbelievable! My place was stuck in the 70s - baby blue formica, cracked yellow tiles - heinous. And now, well, it's fabulous. I'm attaching some pics, but it doesn't do it justice. The granite fluoresces and is pretty glam! I highly recommend Roobiks - if you can get on their schedule it will likely be the best contractor experience you've ever had.Read More
Our Mission
Roobiks Builds has been building outdoor structures for the better part of the last decade. From humble beginnings, our company growth has accelerated into the early 2020's, ushering in custom fences and decks for everyone.
As a constantly evolving practice, we believe quality carpentry is a rapidly dissipating craft. As a direct result, customer experiences have been flooded with negativity and distrust. Our mission is to change the outlook of carpenters by utilizing an improved recipe of quality, communication, and professional construction.
Our experience and mastery of design will ensure a quality building experience. We look forward to working with you on your next home or renovation project.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Gabriel Rooker
"Gabe"
Originator of "Roobiks Builds", he spends most of his time advertising for new fences, decks, and design renders created on SketchUp. Before opening his own carpentry practice, Gabe was apart of the FGHS Viking house and full-time builder for Rick's Custom Fencing and Decking.
Alongside being an accomplished swimmer in the Olympic trials and NCAA, he also received his BS in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, and Physics from the University of Wyoming (Go Pokes!).
As a PNW native, Gabe enjoys the outdoors with family and friends in the extended PDX area. On the off chance he is not around, his home away from home is in the deserts of Arizona with his long time partner Astrid. While there, he often enjoys an occasional hike in paradise valley and building custom home furniture inside his "Trailer shop".
Vincenzo Rooker
"Vinny"
California born but raised in Peru, Indiana, Vinny is the youngest of the Rooker generation and cousin to Gabe Rooker. As the youngest Rooker to join the Self-Employed movement, he personifies the energy, youth, and optimism Roobiks Builds delivers to its customers.
Vinny graduated from Maconaquah High School, receiving his Diploma with honorable mentions. Shortly after, he continued his education by joining the trades working under his father’s construction company. Vinny is an accomplished diver on 1m and 3m springboards during high school. He was ranked in the top Ten in Indiana, even being extended options to dive for Alabama in the NCAA.
Establishing his stake in the construction trade with Rooker Enterprises underneath the company Cabinet Guy, Vinny specializes in cabinet/countertops sales, installation, manufacturing. Being reared around power tools at an early age, his contributions to Roobiks Builds have proven themselves over.
When Vinny is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his Belgian Malinoiois “Zeus” and exploring the PNW.
More from our happy clients
Rosy Arenas
We live in Texas but own a condo in Oregon that needed a half bath fixed after a leak was detected. The tile had to be removed, the subfloor had to leveled, and the new tile and toilet installed. Gabe came by and was very knowledgeable of the work that was needed. We had received three different quotes and Roobiks Build was the best. Gabe stayed in communication with us throughout the process. Highly recommend Roobiks Build and will definitely reach out to them should we need additional work in the future.Read More
