Over the years, he's expanded into all types of building trades, for commercial and residential construction. For the last several years he's had a General Contractor license.....We've used John for a building addition project, and also for general handyman work for a multitude of projects around our house. Every time, the work has exceeded the code requirements and has come in under budget..... When guests visit our home (some of whom are in the building trades themselves) make compliments about the workmanship, and the quality of the improvements that were made, that is how we know we've made the right choice (and we've saved thousands of dollars too).......If you're looking for an honest Placer County building contractor in Auburn CA, check out John Grunigen at Golden Sierra Portables.

First time in many years I could not find one issue to complain about from start to finish on both jobs, and I am very meticulous about who works on my properties. Highly recommend Jordan Construction.

They walked me through every phase of the project step-by-step and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process.

We also maintained a detailed Excel spreadsheet to track and update costs throughout the project, which helped us stay organized and on budget. I highly recommend Green Bee Construction to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and transparent contractor.

Our first project was replacing siding that had water damage on a two-story house, and our most recent project was damage from woodpeckers along the roof line wood beams. We have always had a quick call back when we place our first call to request a project and a thorough investigation of the situation with options for repairs. We always feel like valued customers. The staff is on time, courteous, and some of the most skilled construction people I have ever seen. Not only is their work quality, but it actually looks better than the original! Thank goodness we have Green Bee Construction to turn to when we need work done on our 27-year-old, two story house.

He never pulled a permit for the job! Finally had a county inspection and not much of the deck he built is actually up to code! He used improper wood for the framing of the deck, no flashing on the house between deck. Stairs not up to code via county. Some of the wood was screwed down so hard that it split deck boards and the framing for the deck. None of which was fixed or repaired. This contractor has done nothing but lie to my face the entire time, the only reason I know this is because I have had the county hit several times now during this process! He lies, he will scam you out of more money then the contract was signed for. If you live in the foresthill area be ware! DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN/ Contractor! I have been taken advantage of and now this is a mess! Please be ware and do not make the same mistake I made! I don't want to see any one else taken advantage of buy this man!

We started our project in April 2020, during the Pandemic, followed by a supply shortage, and inflation in 2021. Our project was delayed a year and half because of business and government closures. We were facing many challenges but because of Fred's years of experience in the business, he was able to resolve countless challenges. Many times, we were discouraged and didn't know if we could still afford to build our home. Wechsler Custom Homes was able to help us to find solutions to restart our project in October 2021. They worked with us to modify our original plan from 1875 sq to a 1538 sq home, but it still had everything we wanted, and it was within our budget. Once we received the building permit approval in February 2022, Wechsler Custom Homes started breaking ground immediately on February 15, 2022. Our home was completed on October 10, 2022. Wechsler Custom Homes is an excellent contractor. They were able to keep all their subtractors and suppliers committed to their pricing and delivery dates. Meredith worked closely with us and ordered everything early to stay in our budgets. The Wechsler Custom Homes team are all very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. Special thank you to Meredith, Narciso and Ben. Meredith was highly organized and helped us to keep track of all of our selections and our budget (she also offered many great suggestions when we needed them). After the house was completed, we asked Wechsler Custom Homes to help us to remove a tree trunk. They sent a member of their crew, Narciso, to remove the tree trunk. For some reason, this tree trunk was very difficult to remove, but with Narciso's relentless determination he was able to complete the job. The Sewer was our biggest issue. Ben, with his dedication and Troubleshooting skills, was able to carefully hookup our sewer to an aged 8-foot-deep public sewer system. We wouldn't have our home built today without Ben's expertise and Wechsler Custom Homes willingness to take on the sewer project when no one else wanted to do the job in a timely manner at a cost we could afford. Fred, Ben, and their crew are truly miracle workers to us! We absolutely love our new home. We have received many compliments about our beautiful home from friends and family, and even from people walking the trail near our house. We would highly recommend Wechsler Custom Homes to anyone that is looking for a turnkey builder to build their dream home. They do beautiful high-quality work, are trustworthy, and will keep you informed of any issues and progress throughout the project and beyond.

He was receptive to our ideas and worked collaboratively with us to develop plans that met all of our criteria. Fred had great ideas for appealing exterior elevations and features that make a house comfortable and easily livable. The construction of the house went just as well as the planning. Now that our home is complete and we have been living in it for a few months, we can wholeheartedly say that everything we envisioned for our 'forever home' has been realized. We couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out.
