Reputation speaks louder than words and Mako has established a flawless record of customer satisfaction for over 20 years–with zero defects. Our experienced crew has worked together for over 10 years and takes pride in providing the necessary expertise to build in heavy snow areas resulting in problem-free, high-quality projects. Mako's approach to pricing sets us apart from others in the industry. We provide a comprehensive price quote prior to the implementation of any project.Our familiarity and experience framing within the Tahoe-Truckee region is the catalyst for our PLANNING, CRAFTSMANSHIP, and MATERIAL QUALITY.

PLANNING

Our tenured staff maintains an all-year building schedule. We employ over 60 carpenters and support staff; and our man-lifts and high reach forklifts enable us to perform on a "fast track schedule", regardless of the weather.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Our top-notch craftsman, foreman, and apprenticeship program results in crews of the highest caliber. Mako employees take personal pride in creating superior construction which exceeds minimum tolerances and competitive standards.

MATERIAL QUALITY

A rigorous inspection ensures that all materials are of the highest quality. Special attention is paid to the best use of exposed materials, with particular focus on color matching and knot selection. We also ensure that all timbers are free of heart centers. Since we use multiple lumber brokers from the northwest that can ship direct, we can offer clients a better price.

SAFETY

We participate in weekly on-site, outside safety personal inspections that surpass OSHA criteria. This fastidious attention to safety has resulted in significant savings on insurance premiums which is passed on to the customer.
