APPLIANCE REPAIR:
Mr. Appliance of Reno
(775) 384-8400
reno@mrappliance.com
www.mrappliance.com/reno
Comments: Per Cindy: GREAT SERVICE! Fridge stopped working on the day after Christmas (when it was FULL, of course!). I called first thing in the morning, spoke with Season (who was a great source of information and a perfect first contact with the company – she’s fabulous!) and she scheduled Trevor. He was here within a couple of hours of my original call (as scheduled). He made a temporary fix so that it would work until the replacement part came in. When they got the part the next day, he showed up on time again, got the part installed,and verified that everything was working. The job got scheduled and completed quickly and correctly, within the time-frame promised, and by pleasant, courteous and professional people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Comments: Per John: I had 3 new Miele appliances that were not working. The Miele service technician could not figure out the problems nor how to fix them. I contacted Mr Appliance and Chris made a few visits to determine and install the correct parts. Now everything works great. I highly recommend Mr. Appliance and will definitely use them in the future.
Comments: Per Sandra: They are marvelous! My fridge needed a part to dispense water and ice. They had it within a few days. They scheduled me immediately. Great company, great techs! They do not disappoint.
ARCHITECT:
Todd Copenhaver Architect
Todd Copenhaver
(775) 343-9919
todd@copenhaverarch.com
www.copenhaverarch.com
Comments: Per John: Todd initially did the master bathroom remodel in our Montage condo which included adding a large bathtub. He then did our complete 3-story townhouse remodel and one of my commercial buildings. He’s very unassuming, creative, and actively listens to his clients. I think he’s great to work with and plan to use him for more upcoming projects.
AUDIO/VIDEO/INTERNET:
Prosource AV & Integration
Jason Garlington
(775) 412-3011
jason@prosourceaudiovideo.com
Comments: Per John: Jason has worked with us on two of our properties. In The Montage, he did our home theaters, shades, Internet, and Savant whole home integration with remotes. He also worked directly with The Montage installing the video conference system in the 3rd floor meeting room. One caveat: Since the pandemic, Jason has been very busy. He may be late and seem unresponsive; however, we find it’s been worth the wait.
CARPET CLEANING:
Five Step Carpet Care
Joe Tracy
(775) 530-0591
joe@fsccreno.bcom
Comments: Per Jill: This is one of the few carpet cleaning companies that will clean carpets and rugs in high-rise units. Joe was efficient, fair, thorough, and professional.
CARPETS & FLOORING:
1-2-3 Floor
Dean Barker
(775) 781-9299
dean.123floor@gmail.com
Comments: Per John: Dean has done an excellent job on our LVT and carpet in two of our units in The Montage. He has also done work directly for The Montage including carpeting and the 6th floor Marmoleum.
UPDATE: DEAN NO LONGER WANTS TO DO ANY WORK IN THE MONTAGE DUE TO ALL THE HEADACHES INVOLVED. HOWEVER, HIS COMPANY IS STILL GREAT FOR NON-MONTAGE PROJECTS.
COMPUTERS, PRINTERS & NETWORKS:
HBM Technology Partners
Gary Foote, Owner
(775) 322-4559
gary@since1928.com
www.hbmtechnology.com
Comments: Per John: HBM Technology is located at 323 West St, which is across the street from The Montage, so you can just walk in with your laptop or whatever is broken and Gary, Trevor (his son), or one of the 4 other techs on their team will fix it. Better yet, they make “house calls” so you don’t even have the hassle of disassembling your equipment. Either way, it’s “one-stop shopping” with the personal attention that is missing in these days of Geek Squads, ship-to service centers, etc.
CONTRACTOR (FULL B):
Tim Milton Construction LLC
Jim Johnson
(888) 780-9864
tmcjim@gmail.com
www.hbmtechnology.com
Comments: Per John: Finding a Full B Contractor to work in The Montage is difficult but Jim came through for us. Currently (April 2021), they are so busy they are turning away work but if you need a Full B Contractor, give him a try – he may be able to squeeze you in.

DRYWALL:
Nailed It Drywall
JJ Escobar
(775) 221-4785

ELECTRICAL:
Action Electric
(775) 322-6633
www.actionelectricnv.com
Comments: Per John: I called Action after my first electrician dropped the ball. Stephen did the work necessary to complete the job. He was very nice and detail-oriented. Action pricing is very reasonable and they do a lot of other work in The Montage so they know the building well.
Midtown Electric
Glenn
(775) 267-7520
www.midtownelectricreno.com
Comments: Per Ellen: Glenn is professional, easy to deal with, and efficient. He just did a few quick things – replaced lights, smoke detectors – but I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again.

Billy Walker

Comments: Per John: After my painter painted the sprinkler heads, Legacy replaced them. They also supplied custom officially painted sprinkler head covers that match my ceiling paint.

Royal Glass
Daryl
(775) 828-6060
royalglass@att.net
Comments: Per Jill: My glass shower door dislodged from the moulding. I was told this is a common problem in many units. Royal Glass was familiar with the problem, had helped other unit owners with the same issue, and knew exactly how to repair it. They were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough.
HANDYMAN & MAINTENANCE:
Woody Burns
(775) 351-3989
Comments: Per Myra: Terrific, super competent handyman. Able to do all kinds of handyman odd jobs. Reasonably priced. And a really nice human, to boot!

She comes highly recommended by us as she has been with us for literally 10+ years. Monica runs the business and her mother Blanca does the cleaning with other helpers. They come, clean, leave quickly, and do a fantastic job.

Comments: Per Julie: AMAZING. Andrew replaced our air conditioner. He was reasonably priced, understood our unique unit, tried other methods before replacement (many others just suggested replacement). He was second cheapest but amazing service and we had great confidence in his abilities. Highly recommend Andrew for anything.
Comments: Per Jill: Andrew’s company provided amazing, prompt service at a very fair price. Thanks to Julie for listing it in the Provider List.
Comments: Per Rich and Barb: I also used Andrew – Mountain West this year for a full unit replacement as the air conditioning was not working. He is a pleasure to work with and very efficient. Glad to hear that others agree. A young man with a new baby and a successful business!

Comments: Per John: I contacted Jason about using his moving service and to see if he had any changes to this post. After an email and multiple calls over a 3-week period, he has still not replied. I would think twice about using any service provider who is unresponsive.

Most recently, she sold my unit 614 in The Montage for a full-price, all cash deal that closed within 2 weeks. She is also very detail-oriented and even catches errors made by the other agents and/or title companies. And, another benefit, she lives in The Montage so she knows the building well and is readily available for listings and showings.

Sara Guthrie
(775) 851-3666
sguthrie@ncsreno.com
www.gunghostorage.com
Comments: Per John: When I moved to Downtown Reno, I discovered the closest public self-storage facilities are at least a mile outside of downtown. So, I created Gung-Ho Storage to build self-storage units that are within walking distance for people living, working, and moving in to Downtown Reno. All our new storage facilities are climate-controlled and feature state-of-the-art construction, inside and outside video surveillance. and secure 24/7 access.

diana@thermeshade.com
https://thermeshade.com/

Battle Born Blinds & Repair
Gil Huerta
(775) 856-9294
battlebornblinds@gmail.com
Comments: Per Jill: Very knowledgeable about the building and blind options and repairs.
Comments: Per John: I spoke with Gil and he will only do repairs in The Montage because the metal in the soffit areas prevents him from doing installation work.
WOODWORK, CABINETS & CARPENTRY:
Legacy Home Improvement
Max Mangolin
(775) 499-5577
max@legacyhome.co
bwww.legacyhome.co
Comments: Per John: Max and Anderson (owners) are both perfectionists that do excellent work. For us, they did our walk-in master closet, built-in cabinets, a wedge-shaped desk, and an L-shaped table. They have very creative ideas and are reasonably priced for such quality custom work.
Update: Per John: Legacy has expanded its service offering and Anderson was bought out. Consequently, we have experienced extensive delays in completing work (which is still great) per the schedule they promise. These delays, in turn, affect work completion of the other trades that follow. I suggest giving Legacy some time to overcome their growing pains before giving them any new time-sensitive projects.
Leicht Haus
Scott Martin
(888) 599-5711
scott@leichthaus.com
www.leichthaus.com
Comments: Per John: We could not find high-quality, modern, European style cabinets in Reno, so we went to the Bay Area and had Leicht cabinets (German) designed by Blue Plum. They look and work great although they take about 4 months to get delivered. Scott was very patient as he created 2 kitchens and a bunch of other cabinets for our bedrooms, offices, and laundry. Definitely worth the drive if you want those type of cabinets.
