What Tahoe homeowners say
Doug and his company managed a large and complicated home renovation project involving multiple specialist teams and both structural and cosmetic repair work. The result was great, and the place looks better than it did before weather damage occurred. The strong point of Grunt Work is their breadth and depth of knowledge regarding all aspects of home construction, especially issues particular to the Tahoe region (of which there are many). The attention to detail was impressive. The team dealt with any and all issues with subcontractors and also with my insurance company.
Doug rebuilt some stairs on the side of my house, and I had a great experience working with him. He is organized, sets realistic expectations, familiar with the challenges of working with old Tahoe construction, and did excellent work. I would highly recommend Grunt Work for jobs of any size.
Doug and his team went above and beyond for all our cabin needs! We had someone cancel last minute and Doug quickly responded to my request for service and came the same day. He was kind and easy to communicate with. He was very thorough and thoughtful about each project. He came up with some great ideas when we had to trouble shoot some issues. Very dependable and talented. Would definitely use his company again!
Running a rental management business, you never know what will need to be fixed each day — and Grunt Work always does high-quality work no matter what the job is. Whether it's electrical, plumbing, heating, appliances or any other need, Grunt Work is the guy to call.
