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 great recommendations when it came to making choices in building materials. We appreciated Becki’s attention to detail with the paperwork and billing and we always knew the status of the budget. We would highly recommend G&S for your construction project.

We had G & S Construction build our home recently and we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Garrick’s expertise and professionalism are apparent in every aspect of the building process. He was always available via phone or text and responds promptly. The invoices and expenses were neat and organized and easy to understand. The home was built in a very timely manner and the end result was absolutely perfect. We had a couple other contractors to choose from and are so happy we went with G & S. I would confidently recommend them to anyone building a home!

Garrick, of G&S Construction did it! He accomplished a nearly impossible task. The life of a contractor is never easy but, the project on my property would cause most contractors to balk. It involved unique and exceptionally complicated challenges. The entire project was completed during COVID when the cost of building materials escalated with every day; products were not available or backordered and shipping/delivery was problematic.
The job entailed a total and complete exterior renovation of a home that was built in 1974. Over the years the house had shifted, beams had twisted, there was separation between the roof and walls, and there was a host of other problems. During the renovation, there were so many surprises that we dubbed the house the “Winchester Mystery House”. And to top it all off, one side of the property has such a steep and drastic incline that it would be classified as a double black diamond ski slope rating. Not only was the work extremely challenging, it was dangerous.
Garrick led his team by finding creative solutions to the difficult problems, always being mindful about the safety of his workers. He has a wealth of construction experience which is demonstrated in his can-do approach. Garrick is a great listener and his goal is to give the clients what they want. He is a straight shooter and explains things clearly and frequently offers wise suggestions. Garrick is responsive to questions and always returns calls and texts. He strives to please the client in the most cost effective way, carefully tailoring costs to the clients’ budget. Garrick is the consummate professional.
My project involved complete cedar siding, installation of 21 windows (some quite large – 55″x77″), interior window framing, mason work, new garage door, the repair of deck supports, the repair of a floating staircase, deck staining and many other smaller re-build projects.
I couldn’t be happier and more pleased with the total exterior renovation! Garrick and his team have worked a miracle and breathed new life into the house. In fact, it looks like a newly built home. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Garrick, Ryan, the two Edgars, Gerard and all those who contributed to making my dream and vision come true.
If you want exceptional quality – hire Garrick, an exceptional contractor and outstanding human being.

We recently decided to undertake the huge task of building a house here in South Lake Tahoe. We live in the area and know all the trades people and thought it can’t be that hard to act as owner builder. We quickly realized that we are very good at what we do and not very good at building houses. We were introduced to Garrick and Scott (the G&S in G&S construction) and immediately realized that we would be tripping over dollars to pick up pennies and that these two young professionals are very good at what they do. We have been impressed with their punctuality, scheduling, follow through and quality of craftsmanship. We recommend them wholeheartedly, without reservation.

Most of the snow is melted and dig season is upon us. We are excited to continue building dream homes for our clients. The past 2 years have been a bit challenging with material delays, material price increases and the lack of people willing to work. Things seem to be evening back out a bit so we’re hoping for a great smooth building season.
