Built on the Sierra Nevada, Built to Last
RCV Construction LLC was founded with a single guiding principle: build every project as if it were your own home. Over 30 years later, that principle still drives every decision we make — from the materials we specify to the craftsmen we trust with our clients' most valuable investments. And it applies equally whether we're doing a $20,000 bathroom refresh or a $1.5M custom home.
What started as a small carpentry and finish work operation has grown into a full-service general contracting firm capable of managing ground-up custom home builds, large-scale remodels, and specialty construction projects of any complexity.
We've built in every condition this region has to offer — from scorching Reno summers to deep Sierra Nevada snowpack — and that experience shows in the durability, performance, and beauty of every project we complete.
Our Core Values
These aren't marketing words — they're the operating principles behind every project we take on.
Uncompromising Craftsmanship
Every joint, every finish, every detail is executed to a standard we'd be proud to put our name on — because we do.
Radical Transparency
No surprises. Detailed estimates, honest timelines, and proactive communication if anything changes.
Family Accountability
As a family-owned business, our reputation is personal. Every project reflects our family's integrity.
Regional Expertise
The Sierra Nevada is our backyard. We understand the building codes, climate demands, and architectural traditions better than anyone.
Project Partnership
You aren't just a client — you're a partner. We involve you in key decisions and keep you informed throughout.
Long-Term Relationships
Our greatest compliment is a returning client or referral. We build relationships alongside homes.

What Our Clients Say
"RCV built our custom home in Truckee from the ground up. The timber framing in our great room is spectacular. Their knowledge of mountain building codes and climate requirements saved us from several costly mistakes."
"We've used RCV for three projects over six years — a kitchen remodel, a master bath, and a full home addition. Every single time the quality, communication, and final result exceeded our expectations."
"The custom cabinetry and built-in shelving they designed for our home is stunning. People think it came with the house. That's exactly the kind of seamless result you want."
