Choosing The Right Contractor

Below are just a few of the pictures that we took of the cut electrical wires that the Shoddy Contractor cut on our home and then covered them up with OSB Board, Felt Paper and then siding. What a nightmare!! This could have caused our home to catch fire and even killed us and our animals.

I own a home in Lake Tahoe and was looking for a contractor to make some minor repairs. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough work to attract any of the local contractors. I met Brian with Betlan Construction through a friend. While Betlan Construction operates in Amador County, Brian took my call and agreed to take the job.

Not only did he do a great job, he repaired a couple things on his own that wasn’t part of the contract and did so without being asked. I will call on Brian and Betlan Construction for all my needs and have recommended him to many others.

Thanks Brian.

During the massive rainstorm we had last week we couldn’t get anyone to come out to fix our roof until we contacted Betlan Construction. They were up on our roof in high winds stopping the water from coming into our home and then repaired the problem.

Bless You Betlan Construction

Choosing the right contractor for your new construction, home repair or remodeling job can be one of the most important steps in the whole construction process.

Finding the right contractor can be intimidating and time consuming for many of us because we are putting our trust into someone else’s hands.


You must take your time when choosing the right contractor for your job.  Think of it as an interview process.

• If at anytime you have any uneasy feelings about this person, listen to your inner feelings.

• Do not let the contractor pressure you in anyway by trying to rush you into making a speedy decision on him or her.

• Have at least 3 contractors come to give you estimates on your home project.

• Get all proposals in writing and make sure you and the contractor have original copies.

• Check to see if the contractors name is typed on the proposal.

• Check the contractor’s license with the Contractors State License Board and make sure that you READ and REVIEW all of the information.  This can be tricky, however it must be done.

• Never let the contractor tell you that you need to get the permits, which is his or her job.

• Get as many references as you can and check them out.  Talk to them about their experience with the contractor and look at the project that was done for them.

• Check the contractor’s background.

• Do Not select a contractor based on price.

• Make sure that ALL details are in the contract before signing.  Take a few days to go over the contract before signing and make sure that you watch the contractor sign his name under his printed name. 

We are very compassionate about finding just the right contractor since we were so unfortunate in having a SHODDY CONTRACTOR work on our home which turned into a nightmare. 

We finally found this wonderful construction company named Betlan Construction which came on the job and repaired everything that the shoddy contractor had destroyed. We fully trust Betlan Construction and will use his company for all future projects as well as refer him to all of our family and friends! 

You will never go wrong by hiring an honest and knowledgeable contractor like Brian, the owner of Betlan Construction.

Our first contractor is also a member of Service Magic! 

Are you looking for a Quality Contractor in Amador County where you will not have to worry about being scammed?  Well Betlan Construction from my experience is the best out there.

Brian from Betlan Construction came to our rescue when we had the unfortunate experience from a Shoddy Contractor from Amador County.


With the knowledge and quality workmanship from Betlan Construction we had our home repaired and put back together in no time at all.

We had cut electrical lines that were just left without being repaired and buried under OSB Board waiting for a possible fire to happen to burn down our home and even kill us.  We could have lost everything that we own not to mention the lives of our animals which are family members and even our own lives.

We also had water lines that this contractor cut into and did not repair properly. 

If it had not been for Betlan Construction putting our home back together and putting all of our worries to rest, I do not know what I would have done.  Thank You Betlan Construction!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Yesterday Betlan Construction installed a new skylight in our kitchen which looks beautiful! He could not have done a better job and I couldn’t be happier with each and every project that he does on our home.


Betlan Construction is a true person through and through and you will know you are in Good Hands when Brian and his crew come to work for you.

• Competitive Pricing
• Extremely Knowledgeable Contractor
• Trustworthy
• Dependable Contractor


Thank You Again For The Quality Work!


P.S. If you or anyone you know is looking for a contractor, I HIGHLY recommend Betlan Construction. You will not go wrong, I promise. We have referred him to many homeowners and each and everyone of them are more than pleased with his work and they are even referring Betlan Construction out to others.
