We hired Robert to construct our home in Tahoe Donner in July of 2008, and the home was completed in January of 2009. > > Because of the many years of experience in building homes in the Tahoe/Truckee area, Robert has developed a list of sub-contractors second to none. The biggest challenge to building any project is the availability of sun-contractors to keep the project on schedule. We were very impressed with Robert, and how he was able to stay on schedule with every phase of the building process. Each of his sub-contractors was highly skilled at what they did, and Robert was involved in each phase of the project. > > Anyone who has ever been involved in a construction project knows that the number of decisions is very daunting. Robert was available to assist in each major decision when asked. > > Robert completed our home on schedule and within our budget. What makes Robert such a professional person to work with is his concern and always wanting to fix a problem, or come up with a better solution. > > We had interviewed three contractors before starting the construction of our new home, and I can say without a doubt, that our decision to select Robert Wise Construction was the best decision we could have made. > > In closing, I would like to say thanks to Robert for making the process of constructiong our new home such a pleasant one. I am available as a reference to anyone in the future that may want to use the services of Robert Wise Construction. Robert can provide a contact phone number if needed. > > Yours truly, > William Sarouhan > Truckee, Ca. **★★★★★ — evahill, March 2014** > I hired Robert Wise Construction to build my vacation home at Serene Lakes in Soda Springs, California in 2007. This job came in on time and under budget. The high quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail was excellent. Real craftsmen were used for the cabinetry, flooring, tile work (inside and on the exterior) and inside finish work. My house has held up beautifully and still looks new some seven years later. I have recommended this company to several people since then and would recommend them again. **★★★★★ — langsdale, March 2014** > I owned a Property Management, Real Estate Sales business in Truckee California for over 20 years.
