G & S Construction

Feb 2024

After interviewing several local South Tahoe based Contractors to knock down my cabin and build my new custom home we selected Garrick as our General Contractor. I did my due diligence and spoke to several sub-contractors, city employees, and local handymen and all of them highly recommended Garrick. My project was started during the time when inflation was creeping up, supply chain issues were abundant, the Caldor fire happened in the the middle of the permitting process and the worst winter storm in 40 plus years was challenging our completion time. Garrick navigated all these issues like a Pro. His experience and expertise really showed up when we needed it the most and that is when we knew we had the right man for our complex job! Garrick gave us great suggestions and recommendations that paid off big time. When building a custom home all kinds of details come into play and Garrick walked us through the details we missed and gave us good solid options to resolve the various issues. It's been a year since we moved into our new house and it was so nice and refreshing to know that anytime we had questions or issues Garrick would respond quickly to make sure we were taken care of. Garrick knows TRPA, the local and state codes, who to contact in the city Government and in general how to get the paperwork processed quickly and get inspections completed timely. This is a big time, "Value Add " perk that Garrick provides. The inspectors know Garrick by name and know the quality of the work he provides which is a big plus when dealing with the city. We are very happy with Garrick and his team for building our dream home from start to finish, within budget and on time. I would highly Recommend Garrick (and we have) to anyone who would like to build a home or for other construction projects where his services can be used. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on my review. I would be happy to discuss Garrick and the major home build project he did for me.

Garrick of G&S Construction did it again! Last year Garrick replaced the exterior cedar siding along with total window replacement and new stonework at my Lake Tahoe home. This year he finished a partial interior renovation and it all looks absolutely fantastic. The project involved the total remodel of two bathrooms, new slate flooring, solid wood interior door replacements, rewiring and hanging a vintage brass chandelier that once hung in the former High Sierra Casino, new granite countertops, new cabinets, wainscoting, new mirrors and many other enhancements. One of the most appreciated traits about Garrick is his desire to help the client achieve exactly what is wanted. In my case, I wanted to preserve the "Old Tahoe Aesthetic" and that involved attention to my specific requests that other contractors might not have been willing to tackle. Because of Garrick's willingness to listen, having the support of his able team, his perseverance, knowledge and skill, the end result was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Thank you once again Garrick for another amazing transformation. It was satisfying and fun working on this challenging project together. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and will thoroughly enjoy all your creative solutions and efforts for many, many years to come.

We couldn't be happier with the house that G&S built for us and we had a wonderful experience with Garrick and Becki. Several contractors who live in our neighborhood watched the house being constructed and have all told us how impressed they were with the quality of the work. His subcontractors and suppliers also all told us how lucky we were to have Garrick working on our project. When the severe winter of 2016/2017 delayed the construction start, Garrick helped us revise the schedule and did a great job of making up for lost time. Throughout the project, Garrick was easy to reach and always responded in a timely manner. There were no budget surprises and he had...read full review
