Winter sets in fast in Tahoe. One day you’re boating on the lake, the next day you’re shoveling the snow off your driveway. Now’s the time to think of doing all the home projects, small or large, that you’ve been putting off for so long. How about finally installing that media room you’ve been eyeing? Or you can get that second bathroom or remodel the kitchen. Major repairs like fixing the roof or the heating system has to be done now so it doesn’t cause problems down the line. And of course there’s the home winterizing work that you need a professional to do the right way. You even have time for the big projects, like adding more rooms, or even putting up the second story addition. Call and let us guide you through whatever you want constructed before the snow season comes. Have it done now so you can enjoy it this winter!

Media Installation: Why not get the media center you’ve been dreaming of for so long? It will save you plowing through snow to get to the movie theaters to pay $60 for tickets and stale popcorn. Have your friends come to your home theater for a night of free entertainment. Bull Construction can make it happen within two weeks of material delivery, complete with your own custom popcorn machine.

Let us wire your entire house so that all your media is integrated. You could control any component from any room. TiVO your favorite TV show in your living room and watch it in your bedroom. You can even control your house remotely from your phone or laptop. Get the your coffee maker started from your own bed. Switch the lights on before you even reach your cabin. Or turn them off through your phone if you forgot before you left the house. Bull Construction can make it happen.

Major Repairs and Winterizing: If a major repair isn’t done now in good weather, you could be risking disaster in ice and snow. Get a maintenance check up on your heating system, replace your water heater, and open your foundation vents. Insulate your walls, crawlspace and attic. Check your windows and doors to make sure they’re sealed properly. Inspect your roof for leaks. Go through the overall water shed on your property. Take extra care with the plumbing. If it isn’t done now, freeze back and flooding could occur later. Snow loads crushing your roof structure or heating system malfunctions can cause water pipes to freeze and break without you knowing it until everything thaws and floods your home. A little spent now can save you a lot more later on down the line.

This wasn’t a fire. The pipes froze during a power outage and then later burst, flooding the house, which had just been renovated. The damage was so severe the interiors had to be gutted. The homeowner then decided she might as well add a second story while we were at it so we took off the roof. She ended up paying $80,000. We can install a backup system for as little as $500 and prevent this from happening to you.

Remodels, Build-outs, and Second Stories: We know how to plan out construction timelines to complete projects within three to six months. Let us walk you through every phase of your new addition from planning and design to permitting and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency regulations, as well the physical construction. We have years of building experience in Tahoe, not only in dealing with the harsh weather conditions but also the regulatory environment. We’ve developed a rapport with the local planning authorities and know how to ensure home additions get built with minimal fuss and red tape. Once construction begins, our courteous professionals keep your comfort in mind at every stage. We work with you to make sure you get what you need, not just what you asked for in your home.
