Before you build

Questions worth asking early.

Where does Heslin Construction build?

Heslin builds custom homes and remodels throughout the Tahoe–Truckee area, with published work in Martis Camp, Lahontan, Northstar, Homewood, Meeks Bay, and Carnelian Bay.

Can you manage a project for an out-of-area owner?

Yes. Clients Rajesh and Jennifer said Heslin communicated extremely well while they built remotely; Stephen Reller also credited the team’s communication for making his second-home build smooth.

How are schedule and budget handled?

The team sets achievable goals for schedule and budget, keeps financial details transparent through a full-time controller, and involves clients throughout the process.

Does the relationship continue after the build?

Yes. The company says it will be here to support clients and their homes a year or ten years from now. Clients Les and DeAnn specifically praised Heslin’s continued help with maintenance and referrals.
