Pride in every line.
Purpose in every detail.
Roots in Elko. Pride in Nevada.
Our story starts in 1976 with a small, family-owned company in Utah. In 1988, Howard Schmidt opened our Elko location with a simple idea. Do the right thing. Build with care. Treat people well. That approach still guides every project we take on.
