TESTIMONIALS
“Mike Reed oversaw the extensive termite and dry rot repair needed to put my late mother's 109 year old house on the market. In addition, he located and oversaw the work the necessary trades people (Interior and exterior paint, electrical, landscape) corrected all items called out in the house inspection and anything else I needed. He was attentive and patient during a very stressful time. The end result was a "pig's ear turned into a silk purse". No one thought the house would end up looking this good. The house sold for full asking price in one day on the market. I'd use him again in a minute.
​
My late mother's house was built in 1892. There had been several additions and upgrades to the property before she bought it 12 years ago.
There was extensive dry rot and insect damage in the wrap around front and back porches, their roof supports, the house underpinnings, and portion of the living wall. This was identified by a pest inspection I requested as part of putting the house up for sale. Mike's bids were reasonable and detailed. Due to financial issues, Mike worked with me, completing work as funds became available. Additional problems were discovered during demolition and each was addressed with a full estimate for the additional work needed. Mike kept me informed each step of the way via email and phone calls. I live 1 1/2 hours drive away and could not be present to manage the project on a daily bases.
Due to the age of the house, there was no way to bring it up to current code. Mike suggested additional underpinnings and bracing be added to reinforce the structure. This was made the house much more sound and eliminated most of the floor squeaks.
Despite a February of unusually snowy weather, the work was completed on time and within budget. Mike bought in the necessary trades people needed for interior and exterior paint, flooring and electrical. This work was also completed in a timely fashion and on budget. During the whole house inspection only few items were called out. Mike took care of them quickly and the repairs requested by the buyer were not extensive or expensive.
Mike kept me informed during the entire process, dealt with me patiently as I panicked along the way, the project cost what I expected and was performed professionally.
I'd work with him again in a minute and would trust any tradespeople he recommended”.

“Mike and I began our unique ‘working’ relationship by serving on the Nevada County Building Boards of Appeals for many more years than we can remember. He represented contractors, and I architects. In addition to hearing appeals, every three years we were responsible for reviewing the new codes and making adoption recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Mike’s demonstrated problem solving skills led to his becoming an underfloor consultant and contractor for a variety of my more challenging projects. This ability to collaborate along with his unique expertise made working with him both a pleasure and a success for my clients as well as for me”.
