Markleeville is the small seat of Alpine County, California's least populated county, south of the Carson Valley. Homes here deal with real winter weather, though less than at the lake, plus strong sun, and that shows up as worn decks, cracked trim, sticking doors and faded paint.
We help Markleeville homeowners, second-home owners and rental hosts work through repairs, carpentry, painting, deck fixes and installs, with a clear quote before work starts.
Markleeville: local conditions that matter
- Alpine County permits.
- Remote mountain setting with long drive times, so jobs are usually batched.
- Surrounded by forest; the 2015 Washington Fire burned nearby.
- Many cabins are part-time homes.
Second homes and rentals in Markleeville
A lot of Markleeville homes sit empty for weeks at a time. We can work with lockbox access, take requests from your property manager, and send photos when the job is done.
Fall snow-season prep and a spring walk-through after the melt keep small problems from becoming big ones while you're away.
