Incredible company and can't recommend enough. From day one, Mike and Amie have been responsible, professional, and remarkably responsive, the kind of partner every property owner hopes to find but rarely does. What sets them apart is how proactive they are. I never find myself chasing them down or asking what's going on with my property. They surface issues, opportunities, and recommendations to me before I even know to ask, and once I give the green light, they handle everything end to end. It's a genuinely holistic service, they think about the property the way an owner would, not just as a checklist of tasks to complete. Their experience shows in every interaction. This is clearly a team that has been in the property management business for a long time and has seen it all. Whether it's vendor coordination, maintenance decisions, guest issues, or longer-term planning, they bring a level of judgment and capability that's hard to come by. And I have to call out their cleaning crew as well, they are simply the best in the business. The attention to detail, the consistency, the speed of turnovers, it's a different tier. Across the board, the Summit Estates team goes the extra mile on every front, and it shows in the quality of the guest experience and the condition of the property. read more

Mike is absolutely fantastic. We were in a real bind with snow piling up and needed help on very short notice, and he came through big time. He's local to the area and truly understands what it means to help each other out when you need it most. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. Our driveway was cleared quickly and thoroughly, with great attention to detail. On top of that, his pricing is very fair for the level of service he provides. Reliable, responsible, and genuinely great to work with -- I can't recommend Mike enough for snow removal. He really got us out of a jam! read more

THE BEST!!! I truly cannot say enough about Summit Estates and it's owner Mike Villanova. I found this company on next-door during the heavy snow season of 2023. Despite being overwhelmingly swamped, he came over Within a few days with his team and not only cleared all the snow off our roof, but also broke up a bunch of ice blocks from our front door area, and driveway area. Since then, he is my go to for literally everything. They do property management, roof repairs, any type of handyman work you can think of, and problem-solving. Mike works tirelessly until the problem is taken care of. He is extremely reliable and is always there when he says he will be there. Even when things are out of his scope, he researched some pest control issues tirelessly and came up with some solutions for our Wasps and Flies, which we have been battling for four years. Every time he does a job, he takes pictures, which is extremely helpful. I've had bad experiences in Tahoe with other contractors. Who either do shoddy work, or come and say they've done work when they don't since I am not there to monitor things because it's my second home. But you know it's done and you know it's done right with Mike. I can't speak highly enough about him and his company. We had an urgent situation with our chimney and wasps, and when everyone else said they couldn't help us because it was on the roof (even the 25 Pest Control companies I called), he came out and took care of the problem. Summit Estates does everything from home maintenance to snow removal to boat valet in Tahoe city He is such a hard worker and never gives up until the job is done. I remember the reason I hired him the very first time to clear the snow from my roof... I was reading peoples horror stories about their roof collapsing and about them not being able to get out of their front door due to snow piles and I remember a bunch of posts from Mike saying he'd be right over to help. Right away I thought this guy must be amazing , because of how helpful he was to the people stuck in Tahoe. And now I know that those posts were 100% accurate. read more

Summer 2023... there were some changes happening around the lake here on the north shore when the Hyatt made the decision to eliminate the buoy service at the Hyatt pier. I was fortunate to be offered a buoy which I am extremely thankful for but I will admit, I was spoiled by the concierge/delivery type service that the crew at the Hyatt pier offered. As everyone who was a customer at the Hyatt buoy field was pivoting and trying figure out the logistics of their summer boating season here on the north shore when it came to an un-cover, wipe down, drop off, pick up, hook back up to the buoy and re-cover service including myself, I was referred to Mike by a very good friend who has been a local here for approximately 25 years. He said "call Mike Villanova, he runs a very professional boat concierge/valet service." I gave Mike a call, explained my situation and Mike said "I got you!". As a 10 year customer of North Tahoe Marina, I asked the staff there as well if they knew Mike and they also gave him high praise so I had even more confidence with my decision to work with Mike. Now here we are a few months into summer and my experience with Mike has been exceptional! Mike is professional, punctual, responsive, and he always has a smile on his face. In fact, I don't think I've ever had an interaction with Mike where he wasn't smiling. I can tell Mike lives his life with a sense of gratitude which is very refreshing. As a business owner myself, I want to do business with people like this. He is a family man who loves Tahoe. His rates are fair and I am grateful to have found him. On another note, I just discovered that during the winter, Mike runs a snow removal business and if he runs it like his boat concierge/valet business, which I have no doubt he does, he has a new customer for the winter! read more

Mike is fantastic! we have a house in Northstar that we rent out. Since we do not live there, we rely on contractors to get work done but are not there to monitor it. Mike has fixed other contractors work and is honest and reliable. He sends photos of his work when he is done and calls me when he is at the house to make sure i am happy. he shows up when he says he will. very trustworthy. he has done maintenance and snow removal for us. He does contracts too where he comes periodically throughout snow seAson. he is reasonably priced and actually a great value when you consider how well he does his work and how reliable he is. read more

Mike did a great job with my last minute job. I asked him to come clean out my seriously clogged French drain, and two days later he was at my house. He showed up on time and exactly when he said he would be there. He did a thorough job taking apart the drain, removing debris, and putting it all back together. And he charged a reasonable rate. I am sure I will have more projects for him in the future. read more

Quick response. Excellent service. Nice clean workers. Would highly recommend. Boat concierge in summer, snow removal in winter, including roofs. They manage our vacation home in Tahoe Vista and do an excellent job. read more

I first heard of mike's company in 2020 during the pandemic. We weren't able to come to our second home because of the lockdowns and his company was just supposed to help us out during the pandemic and now we can't imagine owning a second home in Tahoe without summit estates management. The staff is very attentive and nice. If we ever have an issue Mike and his team are always available to help us out. Email and text response is always within minutes ! read more

Mike did an excellent job caring for our boat on Lake Tahoe this summer. He was a great communicator about the plan, proactively knew what needed to be done to keep our boat looking and performing well, and was always on time or ahead of schedule in meeting us when we needed to use the boat. Mike is friendly and very efficient in his work. We look forward to working with him again in the future on boating and estate management needs. read more

They took care of the high snow load on my roof professionally and at a very fair price.

I initially came across Mike on NextDoor, advertising his business and the jobs they had completed, removing snow/ice from roofs and driveways. There were also plenty of NextDoor reviews from customers that backed up the quality of his work, so he was one of the first people I called to schedule roof snow/ice removal. With all of the massive Winter storms this past season, we had accumulated roughly 10 feet of Sierra cement on top of the house and shed. We never intended to let that much build up, but every weekend we were available to go to Tahoe, there was another storm rolling in and travel was not advised. By the time I got up there, the amount of snow/ice was overwhelming. Mike picked up on my first call and proposed a date to complete the job within a week. His prices were fair and reasonable. I had contacted him a few more times with follow up questions and he was always quick to respond. Mike was also very communicative on the day of the job. Him and his crew showed up on time and completed everything quickly and efficiently. He sent me pictures afterwards and called to let me know the status of how the house looked from the outside as well as any obvious damage (which was very minimal, thank goodness). I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike and his team! It is rare to find such a reliable, reasonable, and communicative business in Tahoe and Summit Estates easily checks all of those boxes. read more
