- FlooringFrom the street, the home will settle quietly into the neighborhood, with wood and stone accents that honor the natural beauty of the majestic Tahoe forest. From the backside, the home will be a virtual window to the soul of Lake Tahoe with a multitude of windows along the side and back of the house. From each vantage point, the colors and textures of Lake Tahoe will be integrated through the use of wood flooring, steel and stone finishes within the new build.
- FramingThe Emory Ash deck features a firepit and planter that runs the length of its north side, framing views of the mountains. Down the hall is a secluded, covered garden patio with built-in barbeque, fireplace and hot tub. Two bedroom suites are found on this floor. One is the master with a private deck and fireplace — and another bedroom suite with direct access to the hot tub and views of the forest behind. The entire third floor of this home is a private master suite featuring an office, a wall of drawers for extra storage, a large walk-in closet, and a bedroom featuring a fireplace and spectacular views. At ground level is the bunk room with a media room that features its own terrace, wet bar, wine cellar, microwave, refrigerator and sink. A lovely second bedroom suite is on this floor as well.

- FireplacesIt's been a wild winter up in the Lake Tahoe area. With all that time spent by the fireplace during the extensive snowfalls, we looked at some current home building trends. One of the leading trends continuing into 2017, is the environmental trend of sustainability. Even with the current snow levels, an eye towards water conservation and energy efficiency are important areas to address when building or remodeling your home. Some of the most important areas of sustainability are as follows...
- Skylight Repair/ReplacementThis two story house with open beam ceilings, required creating a crawl space between floors to hide the necessary electrical, plumbing and mechanical elements of the home. There were complex roof lines and a steep roof slope with multiple skylights. The finished home includes warm details in wood ceilings, custom railings, rock work and finishes.
- Cabinet Installation
- New Construction
- LandscapingIt really helped when you said that we should still visit the construction site to notice any small details that we want to address with the contractor. My husband and I are planning to build a bungalow house near the beach in July for our three kids, so this is really handy. We're also hoping to find a high-quality wastewater design service on Monday that can incorporate the system within our landscaping ideas.
- DrivewaysThe site was challenging. To build on a steep upslope and make a driveway that was safe and functional. Creating a Southern exposure insured full sun. A better, greener and more effective driveway melt than anything you could add.
- ExcavationIt is this attention to detail and this expectation of excellence that imbues every job that ADC undertakes. From the first excavation scoop to the sweep of the broom at the close of a project, the plumb bob is a reminder of the careful and meticulous attention shown in the building of this home.
- Retaining Walls
- Window Installation/Replacement
- DecksThis 4,745-square-foot, 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home’s details are infinite, with granite counters, abundant storage, central air conditioning, air filters, humidifiers and steam showers, cabinets and window trim made from clear alder. Floors are Tahoe skip-sawn walnut, solid and impressive. Towering beams lend a sense of bold elegance throughout — from bedrooms to living rooms to the media room with attached deck and hot tub. Character emanates from the flow that fully embraces this custom masterpiece. Nowhere is that flow more obvious than from inside to outside - decks with expansive views at all levels. The deck on the main floor (all on one level with no stairs) is built from 1 1/4” mahogany and commands wide views on a lot stretching 2.12 acres, with access to an outdoor built in BBQ, firepit and 6 person Jacuzzi hot tub.
- GuttersAn ice dam is a wall of ice that forms at the edge of the roof, usually at the gutters or soffit. When it forms, the water backs up behind the ice dams and creates a pool. I truly appreciate your great post!
- Siding3) Most old-growth wood is no longer available. Regulations prevent many species of tree from being harvested, so Mabry couldn't buy new redwood for his siding, for example.

- InsulationR-value is a calculative method referring to thermal resistance. It is also a thermal measurement unit for particular materials in relation to how they insulate. Theoretically, a higher R-value means more heat resistance, which also means greater insulative qualities. The R-value is a somewhat complicated calculation, but all you need to know is what R-value you need, based on where you live and what type of space you are insulating, and choose a type of insulation accordingly. In general, those who live in colder climates need products with a higher R-value, while those in warmer climates need less R-value. According to the Department of Energy, In the Tahoe area, attic insulation should have a minimum R-49 value. For the walls, R-5 to R-6 wall sheathing and for the floor, R-25 to R-30. Closed cell foam insulation has been a popular choice for a lot of our clients.
- Masonry-Do you see cracked or split wood members, cracks in your walls or masonry, sprinkler heads that have dropped down below ceiling?
