They are on top of their subcontractors to make sure we are all on the same page, and that the clients choices are met or surpassed. > They have created a group where Heslin Construction and its subcontractors are a team, a real team. This empowers us to all work together for the good of the project with Heslin and the different trades openly discussing schedules and ideas to complete the project. > Heslin Construction is one of the top builders in the area and we feel that knowing the professionalism that exists on their projects allows us to keep our prices lower than some of the other builders in the area. > We highly recommend Heslin Construction if you are looking to build a beautiful home. **★★★★★ — SANDBOX, Oct. 2015** > As the Principal of SANDBOX, I have worked with Heslin Construction for many years on numerous SANDBOX projects. They are a professional, yet down-to-earth group capable of delivering the highest quality, both on-time and on-budget. We have had outstanding results and many happy clients as a result. We will continue to recommend Matt and his team to all of our clients! **★★★★★ — martiscamp81, May 2015** > “We chose Heslin Construction because of Matt’s personal approach to every client. Matt worked closely with us and our architect to understand our ideas and goals for our project. He brought his experience and ideas to the table from the very beginning of the design process. When building a second home and having to work remotely, you need to implicitly trust your contractor and his team to fulfill your vision. Heslin Construction delivered. Little things that make a huge difference are critical. For example, Matt and his team sorted through countless samples of reclaimed barnwood to get the perfect color combination. Matt is budget conscious as well, value engineering throughout the process and putting our priorities first. Matt communicated extremely well and helped guide us through the complex decisions that every homeowner faces. Our project was on time and under budget- what more can you ask for? We would not hesitate to choose Heslin Construction again **★★★★★ — wndysmth, Dec. 2014** > “We’re extremely pleased with Matt Heslin’s work on our Martis Camp project. He’s a “hands-on” craftsman, very quality conscious and creative. He has impeccable attention to detail, budget and high-end finishes. Matt considers custom finish work the fun part of the job and he’s implemented countless original ideas. We’d be happy to discuss with new clients our great experience with Heslin Construction.” > \- Wendy & Gordon, Martis Camp Homesite 179 **Comment from Heslin Construction:** > Wendy thank you for the lovely review. This may have gotten resent to you again by mistake today, just disregard. Thanks a Bunch...Matt **★★★★★ — srellers1, Nov. 2014** > Building a second home from afar was a nerve racking consideration. We were nervous about all that could go wrong with the design team and contractor. We were fortunate to have made the right decision to go with Heslin Construction. Matt, as well as his entire team made the process an incredibly smooth one. If there is one area that I have to say makes Heslin Construction stand out, it’s communication. They did a remarkable job communicating with and orchestrating all the designers, subcontractors, and owner indecision, resulting in a home we are amazed with every time we walk through the door. On time and on budget, often oxymoron’s in the home building experience, were delivered as promised. I cannot recommend this team enough!” > \- Stephen Reller, Martis Camp Homesite 108 **★★★★★ — mvmech, Nov. 2014** > I worked with Heslin Construction as a sub contractor and had a very organized and thorough experience. Heslin and his crew are top notch professionals with courtesy and top workmanship as their top priority. I would never second guess working with this company all positive no negative!! ## Selected projects - [Mountain Modern in Martis Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-modern-in-martis-camp-pj-vj~5626760) - Location: Truckee, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: This 5000 square foot luxury home in Martis Camp is a mountain masterpiece!

Who manufactures them? Thank you! A: These are doors are blank panels cladded & assembled with the wood siding material and metal to match the home. You should contact your local garage door supplier and discuss this with your contractor for help with this process. **Q: Gorgeous kitchen!** *(in Photo Questions)* I read that you didn’t know the stain color, but can you tell me the manufacturer of the cabinets? They are so beautiful. Thanks A: Hi Brenda, The cabinets are custom made by a local wood worker. The range is a Wolf **Q: what wood floor was used in your beautiful mountain home?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for the right flooring for rustic modern. A: The floors used were DuChateau Hardwood - Danube **Q: What is the material and color for the shower walls? Thx** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello parr504, The Designer for this home chose the tile so the information we have on the exact products is minimal. I reached out to the Designer, but this house was built over 7 years ago, and the records are not readily available. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely, Matt Heslin **Q: Ceiling Wood and stain** *(in Photo Questions)* Can I please get the name of the wood on the ceiling and the stain used? Also, do you have the name of the wall color? Thank you! A: Hello Hayley, The Designer for this home chose and sourced out reclaimed bard wood, so the information we have on the exact products is minimal. The wood was sealed with a matte finish, we do not normally stain any reclaimed bard wood. As for the wall color, we use a painting company, and they do not provide any color information on the paint they use unless we were to use them for a touch up, or re paint project. Hope this helps, sorry I could not be more specific. Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely, Matt Heslin **Q: siding material** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the siding material used? Thanks- great looking house! A: Hello, Thank you for the kudos. This photo shows two different types of siding materials: stained, clear grained Western Red Cedar and Silbonit which in a fiber cement cladding material. We also used dark painted metal panels as siding but I don't think any are shown in this photo. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
