I contracted MB Lewis to build me a 24'x24' garage in my back yard which was completed in Oct 2017. The work was done in a timely manner and his crew was professional and courteous. My main concern is the concrete foundation of my garage. Before breaking ground I asked Brodie, the owner and general contractor, if he was going to compact the ground where the garage was to be. He told me that my ground was very settled and strong and that it wasn't needed. When my concrete was poured the foundation developed cracks immediately even before the concrete worker could cut the contraction joints. There were 5 large cracks in the cement running the whole length of the foundation. I expressed my dissatitisfaction with this development, but was assured that it wasnt structural by Brodie. Now there is a slight grade from the biggest crack to the wall and height differential between the 2 sides of this crack. Brodie didn't even offer compacting the ground as an extra service I would have to pay for--He told me I didnt need it. He was wrong. I, as the unlicensed home owner, shouldn't have to hold the contactors hand to do a job right. If you hire MB Lewis you will have to. read more

We hired MB Lewis in 2015 to build a detached garage. Here are the pros & cons of our experience. Pros: The owner, Brodie, and his crew are really nice people & friendly; the price was reasonable; Brodie came out and gave us a bid right away; the garage was built to specs and within budget. Cons: After our bid, it took almost 4 months for the garage to be built even though we were told it would be much less and we got the building permit much earlier; the concrete pad was poor quality and looks horrible; the quality of the garage is average, basic, not excellent but worth the price we paid; the concrete & framing crew left trash piles all over which included pizza boxes, chewing tobacco, leftover food, just nasty trash... we had to pick it up every night so our dog didn't eat it. In the end, we like (not love) our garage, we are bummed that our concrete floor looks so bad, the 4 month time period caused us some problems coordinating other projects. I think MB Lewis builds a decent garage for the price. We didn't price others in Reno, so not sure how they compare. read more
