I contracted MB Lewis to build me a 24'x24' garage in my back yard which was completed in Oct 2017…read more 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.

We hired MB Lewis in 2015 to build a detached garage. Here are the pros & cons of our experience…read more 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.

Justin has been a lifesaver. His pricing is fair, he's cost-effective, and what I appreciate most…read moreis that he's a straight shooter--no upselling, no unnecessary add-ons. He explains what needs to happen first, then gives you options depending on your budget and what you want to prioritize. I'd hired him for a few projects before my home flooded, and I'm so glad I already knew him when that happened. He was there immediately, checked in with me, and helped with all of the flood repairs. He made sure things were done correctly (especially our flooring) and went above and beyond to help us get everything back in order. He also installed a drain in our backyard to help prevent flooding from happening again. Vinny has also been phenomenal--super helpful, reliable, and a huge part of getting everything done smoothly. Communication with both of them was clear the whole way through, and they genuinely care about doing the job right. Bonus: Justin is a happy worker--expect a little music, some enthusiastic singing, and maybe a white Monster energy drink or two. We'll absolutely keep working with them and highly recommend.

Reno can be incredibly windy! My fence was blown down over the weekend. Justin came and repaired…read moreit as soon as the weather allowed. Communication was smooth, the work was done well, and the price was fair. As someone from another country with an accent, I appreciated that he took the time to explain everything clearly. I noticed a comment accusing him of being racist, but in my experience, he was professional and polite. Highly recommend!
