Quality
Quality
From the first moments of “Best Management Practices” for environment preservation to the final finishing polish, I require quality in approach, personnel, material, and follow through.
Honesty
Honesty
Expect it. I am brutally honest about everything and not afraid to share it — and always with a bit of humor and concern for you, your project and my team.
Perfection
Perfection
It’s a big promise, and one that I strive for on every project. You’ve probably heard “Perfection is the enemy of done”. In my experience, that is a false statement and I will do everything in my power to prove it. There is actually a balance between perfection and production. This is a sliding scale that is dependent on budget.
Value
Value

(You get what you pay for).

What are Quality, Honesty and Perfection worth to you? I’m not here to underbid a competitor. I am a visionary, and will go the many extra miles for your project. If you are looking for a bargain builder who cuts corners in order to stay within a budget, you can stop right here. At the end of the day, when we do the math, I am generally less money, and well within reasonable time constraints per square foot, than my best competitors. We move with efficiency. Our approach is well planned out. This is not my first rodeo.
History
A Little History
For the last four decades I have built and remodeled extensively in Glenbrook, Nevada. All of the houses that I have built there stand as a testament to my career, withstanding the high elevation, wind, snow, rain and sand with a tenacity that still surprises me to this day.

Glenbrook, Nevada is a small community on the eastern shore of iconic Lake Tahoe. As a contractor, building or remodeling in the Tahoe Basin is no small feat. Aside from the usual hoops and hurdles of any building project, the Tahoe Basin has it’s own special set of agencies and regulations to protect its air and water quality.
Trust
Trust
That is the bond between myself and you. We are collaborators in your project. Let’s get creative and enjoy the journey of building your perfect project. Trust in the process. The planning, time, and energy that goes into your project will be reflected in the final structure. You will feel it when you cross the threshold, when you gaze out the window, or sit in your favorite reading spot. You can trust that my team and I understand that and bring our best everyday.
