Pollock Pines is a forested US-50 community on the west slope, on the way up to Tahoe. 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 Pollock Pines homeowners work through repairs, carpentry, painting, deck fixes and installs, with a clear quote before work starts.
