If you’ve struggled to get clear information on home building and remodeling in the Tahoe-Truckee area, we’d love to shed some light and share what we know.

First, find the right partner for you.

Timberline Construction’s owner, Christian Edwards, recommends mentally preparing for the work ahead and taking time to select best partners for you. He shares, “The construction process is never perfect, there will most certainly be surprises along the way and it’s much easier to navigate when you have the right mindset and the right partners by your side.” This is so true!! Every architect and builder’s style is unique; choose someone who will communicate openly and honestly with you and someone you think you’ll genuinely enjoy working with.
