I called Ipsen construction on a Thursday and the lady on the phone said she could have Ryan, the owner out the next day, Friday at 2pm for a quote to have some doors installed. 2pm Friday comes and no call saying they are on their way or running late. I attempted to call both the office and Ryan's cell phone and received no answer. He ended up showing up at 2:10 which wasn't that big of a deal. But good customer service would have been to call and say they were running late. He looks at the work to be done and says he will have the quote to me the next day, Saturday and could do the work the following week. Saturday comes and goes. No quote. I call that Monday and the lady at the office takes my email again and says it will be over in the next day or two. I don't get it for a week later. And it was incorrect based on our conversation. I emailed back with the corrections that took 3 more days to receive an updated estimate. I have called the office serval times in the last week looking for a start date. They never answer their phones and they do not call back. Don't waste your time with this company, they will just string you along.

I couldn't be happier with the work and would definitely recommend Ariel and his crew!

From the very beginning, Ariel was super-responsive, knowledgeable (almost 30 years in the business), easy to work with, and at the end, you get an excellent product (new roof) at a great value. (I really didn't think I could afford a new roof. So if you're like me, call Ariel and get a quote. I'm so happy I did.) From getting the estimate, to signing the contract, to scheduling the work this process could not have been quicker or easier. Ariel and his crew are professional, polite, and friendly. They show up on the date and time they say they're going to show up (every single time), they're attentive to detail, hard-working, and they do beautiful work. Also they clean up at the end of each work day, and with our high winds, I was super appreciative not to have to worry about any potential wind/unsecured building material issues. And in just a few work days, my project was fully completed. I first met Ariel when he was finishing up a job for my mom's neighbor. My mom then hired Vega Roofing to do her house, and then I hired Vega Roofing to do mine. I've seen all three completed roof jobs, and they are all equally beautiful, and they all went just as easy as mine. If you need any kind of roof work, I highly recommend you call Vega Roofing.

It's said that you can tell the true character of a person not by their actions when things go…read moresmoothly, but by how they carry themself when there are unexpected challenges. Such was our experience with Mark Tanner... We contracted with MTC to build our house in Martis Camp in early 2014 and ground was broken in early spring 2014. Construction was scheduled to last 12-to-14 months with the house being completed summer 2015. Work progressed slightly behind schedule through spring 2015 when the wheels fell off of the cart. Long story short, the wrong stone flooring was installed throughout a majority of the house. We notified MTC at the start of the tile installation that we believed the wrong product was being installed, but were assured that it was the correct product. We continued questioning the tile until Tanner finally conceded that it was, in fact, the wrong product. Tanner than spent fall and winter 2015 blaming everyone else for the error including, our designer, the tile supplier, the quarry, and us, and did nothing to remedy it. By this time we'd already paid him 95% of the contract value and were anxious to get in the house. In a last ditch effort, we even offered to keep the flooring as-is for a small price concession (less than 1.5% of the contract value and 30% of the cost to replace it), but Tanner refused. Months went by with no action. We ended up retaining an attorney in Spring 2016 to get him to complete the house. Fortunately, we retained detailed records including emails and meeting notes to substantiate that MTC was informed of the mistake or we would have ended up in litigation. He finally ordered the correct tile and we were on schedule to have it replaced in summer 2016. Shortly after the correct tile arrived, we were informed that there wasn't enough to complete the house - MTC had shorted the order to save a few bucks and needed to order additional tile. It would take another 3-4 months for the tile to arrive with no assurance it would match what was already on-site. Sure enough, when the additional tile arrived it didn't match. The color and texture were different than the prior replacement order. We chose very monochrome basalt that was uniform both texture and color. Working with his site foreman, we hand picked through the tiles and chose the closest matches. These were installed in less conspicuous locations (closets, pantry, areas that would be covered by area rugs, etc.). Finally, in late February 2017 the house was ready to occupy - 34 months after construction began and 20 months after the scheduled completion date. Shortly after move-in, we supplied MTC with a new construction punch list of approximately 40 fairly minor items (paint scuffs, a damaged light fixture shade, alarm sensor not working, incorrect shower handle trim, gate was sagging and weather damaged, etc.). We also discovered some rain gutters called out in the architectural plans were never installed. We ended up paying additional money to have the gate changed and rain gutters/ heat tape installed over and above the contract amount to get them done before winter 2017. Eight months later, and the other minor punch list items were still not completed. We had had enough of working with Tanner and decided to sell the house. During the sale escrow process, a few additional items were discovered during the buyers' home inspection (missing door sweeps in showers, erosion under one corner of the patio, faulty circuit breaker in the master bathroom, etc.) - nothing major. Tanner refused to remedy these issues. It took the intervention of the sales broker to coerce Tanner to remedy these during escrow. I'll be the first to admit that ours is a first-world problem. To the folks who have successfully used MTC - good for you. Building and maintaining a vacation home in Truckee requires a long-term relationship with someone you trust to maintain and repair your home. We hopefully represent the minority of homeowners where problems of this magnitude cropped up during construction. If you're fortune enough to be building a home, ask yourself what type of person you want to entrust with the honor of helping fulfill your family's dream. We made the mistake of not asking for references from clients where construction problems arose and chose poorly. To be clear, MTC has some very diligent and talented employees. The issue we encountered came from the top. To this day, Tanner has never apologized for the mistake, didn't bother attending the occupancy walk-through, never checked-in with us after move-in, and missed numerous update calls that he scheduled via email. We've been told that he blames us for the mistake - basically forcing him to fulfill his obligations as the general contractor - and is, "mad," at us. At the end of the day, all we have is our integrity, character, and reputation. Everyone makes mistakes - it's how we choose to deal with them when a person's true character shows through.

From the first day Lance and I met last summer, til most recently when Kurt came to put the finishing touches on our place, your team has provided unparalleled professional contracting support. You guys are more than contractors. Your entire staff and subcontractors treated our home as if it were their own. Having people in your home (even a second home) can be challenging during the construction process. Every care was taken by your staff to protect our personal stuff during the process. As you are both well aware, the project grew from a simple "kitchen" remodel to touching every area of our home. The results were stunning. Hard to believe it is our home. Down to the very detail. You never pushed us to add on to our original scope. It was me who kept wanting to push the envelope and it was you and your team who continued to say yes and to figure out a way to make things happen. Your attention to detail was impeccable. Your recommendations, when asked were invaluable to helping us walk through this challenge. While it took longer than our original expectation, we expanded the scope almost four fold from our original goal. It was worth the wait and the weather cooperated. My personal thanks for remaining professional throughout. I am a tough customer (but fair, I think). My expectations are and will continue to be high. Your staff, including office staff exceeded my expectations. Your pricing was fair and competitive and you figured out ways to accomplish our goals. More importantly, the value we received was consistent with what we spent. I can't say enough about Kurt. He and I were on the same page on almost every aspect of the project. In spite of the other projects that were being worked on simultaneously, I felt as if I was your only customer. I could go on, but I will stop. Thanks again. Congratulations on delivering superior results. I am more than happy to serve as a reference for you and your fine company. My family is very thankful as well. We have installed the window coverings and if you would like to arrange to take some photos to add to your portfolio, please contact me and we can arrange that. Best. Don DeHart Truckee, California
