We embarked on an extensive Kitchen/Laundry/5 bathroom remodel with Griggs and his team in 2015 into 2016. From start to finish, we received nothing but professionalism, skill and well thought-out advise. Aaron and his staff displayed a wealth of knowledge and we developed a great relationship with excellent communication. We believe each of his subs were the very best the region has to offer. Each with a strong attention to detail in their area of expertise. As a testament of our faith and trust in their work, we realized that we did not have to oversee their work on a daily/weekly and basis. We left the job in Aaron's capable hands halfway through the project and went back to the Bay Area. We visited and checked in regularly but had faith the job would be done to our expectations in our absence. At the end, we have no regrets in doing so. Now that the job is complete, we are thrilled with our new home. We also know that Griggs will stand by their work going forward. We are lucky to have found a Fine Home Builder with Integrity!

They tightened down our house and rid us of an on going pest issue. Now they are distressing our wood floors. They are on time, on budget and a true pleasure to work with. Aaron keeps very organized books, billing is easy to follow, his crew is professional, and he always answers messages in a timely manner. He also has a great connection to many craftsmen in our area. I wish I could build another home, just to have Griggs Custom Homes Inc. be my contractor.

We've done everything from restoring interior wooden beams, painting, dry walling, completely redoing our exterior, ripping and replacing our old redwood decks with indestructible Trex, and installing interior and exterior aluminum with steel cable railing systems. Will be back at it with Dan and team again for our next project in short order!

There is no on else I would work with one our next project.

Sergio and his team at Tahoe Home Builder are absolutely amazing. They deliver high quality results…read moreon schedule and at very competitive prices. It is hard to achieve all three in Tahoe. On our first project, they did some minor remodeling in our kitchen, and we were impressed with their attention to detail, quality, and integrity. On the second project we had THB construct a two-car garage with a second story. The neighbors and other contractors in the neighborhood were impressed by their progress and quality. Sergio and his team worked diligently to complete the addition on schedule. He had to deal with Tahoe weather, a tight schedule and Tahoe challenges. Throughout the project, Sergio was responsive and communicated clearly. He was very easy to work with, and he was highly skilled at working with the third parties. He kept the project moving forward with cost effective solutions when we faced challenges. He also has an excellent reputation with the planning department and inspectors. Upon receiving our project's final inspection, the building department commented they had never seen a project completed this quickly in the Tahoe Basin. We can't say enough about Sergio and his team. They are very professional, high-quality builders, and they deliver on time and on budget. They are a pleasure to work with. We will work with Tahoe Home Builder on future projects.

We had to overcome some obstacles such as; living very far from the construction site (FL), and a pandemic. Christian's team was excellent in communicating updates and concerns throughout the entire process.

It is difficult to live so far away from our second home, but with Christian's excellent business ethic, we felt confident that he would take care of us (within reason) if we needed anything. We enjoyed working with Christian and his entire team and would highly recommend him. Kristin P. from FL.

We just completed a full (down to the studs) remodel of our home in Carnelian Bay with Alpine…read moreBuilding Co. Rob (the owner), who is a 3rd generation contractor, met us promptly after our initial inquiry. Not only was his project plan comprehensive and pricing competitive but we just got a really good "member of the family" vibe from him. It's such a leap of faith to trust someone with an asset like a house but we are so glad we took that leap with Rob. The project included flooring, every inch of electrical, modified interior framing, insulation, complete kitchen, complete master bath reconfiguration, half bath refresh, sheet rock, trim, painting and the occasional psychotherapy session when we encountered a few surprises along the way. Rob was patient, kind, thorough and had a crazy eye for detail. One of the things that really set him apart from other general contractors we've worked with in the past is the quality of subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, tile, etc) and how closely he manages those critical resources. If he says countertops are going in on a Thursday, they are going in on a Thursday. On one hand, the thought of going through another remodel gives me PTSD since I'm ready to just enjoy our home without making a dozen decisions per day for several months. But on the other hand, we are going to miss seeing him so often and will make him our first (and ONLY) call when it's time for the next project.

After owning my home in Tahoe for 25 years, it was in need of some serious TLC. What started as a…read moreplumbing fix for a leak in my upstairs bathroom that affected my downstairs bathroom quickly turned into a full home renovation. Since I never really liked either bathroom, I decided to redo them--and, well, one thing led to another! As I looked around, I realized how much of my house was showing its age. Eventually, I ended up gutting almost the entire house and updating everything. I had heard horror stories about contractors in Tahoe, but after meeting Rob from Alpine Builders, I knew I was in good hands. He immediately understood my vision and offered thoughtful suggestions without ever making me feel pressured to spend more. Rob was upfront, transparent, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. He passed along contractor discounts, directed me to the right places to source materials, and managed everything seamlessly. The Transformation: Since I live and work in Los Gatos (about four hours away), I couldn't be on-site often, which meant I needed a contractor I could trust to handle everything. Rob and his team took care of: New paint, inside and out New flooring throughout the entire house (goodbye, carpet!) Complete downstairs bathroom remodel (custom-built shower, new vanity, tile, toilet, lighting, fans) Complete upstairs bathroom remodel (custom-built shower, new vanity, tile, toilet, lighting, fans, and plumbing fixes) Brand-new kitchen (custom cabinetry, an island that didn't exist before, new appliances, lighting, and plumbing) Installed new blinds that I had purchased Upgraded water pressure Upgraded electrical outlets throughout the house What Stood Out About Rob & His Team: Attention to detail and craftsmanship - Everything they touched was done beautifully, and Rob has an excellent eye for quality. He would spot minor issues (paint chips, overspray, etc.) before I even noticed and ensure they were fixed. Problem-solving & creativity - My house had some design challenges: a weird angled ceiling in the upstairs bathroom, a tiny kitchen, and some funky light fixtures. Rob worked patiently and creatively to make the best use of my space. Communication & updates - Since I couldn't always be on-site, Rob sent updates, pictures, and confirmations along the way to make sure he was executing exactly what I wanted. Professional & clean crew - His crews kept the worksite tidy, which I really appreciated. Goes above and beyond - He even worked to get one room finished early so I'd have a place to stay if I came up while the rest of the house was under construction. Things to Keep in Mind (True for Any Contractor): Some things go fast (demo, painting, etc.), while others take longer, depending on trades like plumbing and electrical. Delays happen due to material availability and scheduling different crews. The process has natural lulls - Some weeks, there was a lot happening at once, and other times things stalled a bit, partly because I was busy with work and kids and couldn't always stay on top of it. Rob was always responsive and transparent, keeping me in the loop at every step. Final Verdict: I highly recommend Alpine Builders if you're looking for a contractor in Tahoe. My house has been completely transformed, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're hesitant about a renovation--especially a big one--Rob will make the process manageable and deliver high-quality work you can trust. Feels like part of the family now and someone I can call on for other projects in the future.

Farshad visited our home to provide an estimate on some exterior work we need done. He was frank,…read moreand seemed disinterested, when we said we were seeking the best price & value for our work. He said his company is more expensive than others, and his staff speaks English. We asked for an estimate for some work, and advised we were going to get a few others. He said to show him the other estimates and then he would consider if he could beat their prices and do the work. He said his company is very busy, and selective about the jobs they choose. I think he was just looking for $$$. He never sent an estimate, and when I followed up with him about it, he said, "I thought you were going to send me the other estimates, so I could see if we could beat their price." I think he wasted our time, and felt we wasted his. I did not think this was good customer service at all. Their work may be great, but you cannot be so dismissive to potential customers.

Mt Lincoln Construction is one of the best contractors around. They pay very close attention to…read moredetail and have such strong integrity they will blow your socks off. I know that many some other contractors will give you a bid for less money but you really get what you pay for with Mt. Lincoln. I have heard horror stories about some people hiring their contractor because they were only looking at the bottom line and then after the job got going either the contractor would ask for more money for upgrades, sub standard work was done or they were paying their workers cash so the homeowner was actually at risk for being sued if anything went wrong. With Mt. Lincoln, they work until the job is done right! They stand behind all of their work and have been doing it for so long here that they know exactly what they are doing. You won't find better quality, nicer people to work with or a better company in all of Truckee and Tahoe. If you are considering hiring a contractor, you should hire these guys, it doesn't get any better!

My family hired this company to renovate our family cabin in 2021 and we had a terrible - what I…read morewould even characterize as dangerous - experience. The project involved numerous errors that required repeated corrections. Instead of being resolved promptly, it took approximately three years of ongoing communications, site visits, and repairs before many of the problems were addressed. The amount of time, stress, and effort required to get the work corrected was far beyond what I expected when hiring a licensed contractor who charged close to $180,000 for the renovation. Unfortunately, one tragic error we only just discovered one month ago: they evidently installed the dishwasher without first putting in the legally required air gap. The dishwasher, operating without an air gap, builds up with standing water, blockages, foul odors, lack of proper drainage, hazardous mold, and biofilm. Over the course of five years, significant mold contamination built up within the dishwasher as a result -- mold we were consuming on our plates, utensils and cups. We have since incurred substantial expenses for inspection, remediation, replacement, and medical evaluations. Several members of our family, including a child, have experienced health problems that we believe are related to prolonged mold exposure. As a mother, I cannot describe the fear and horror of discovering that your child has these terrible toxins built up in his body -- toxins that have neurological, immune, gastrointestinal, and other impacts -- because he has been consuming mold due to contractor negligence. This review reflects my personal experience. I encourage anyone considering this company to instead hire another one. My feeling is that the positive reviews listed on this account are owed to the previous owner, Paul Zarubin, who is no longer with the company, and hasn't been in over a decade. You will notice there haven't been any positive reviews in some time.
