John & Anne Isaacson “We gave Tom the basics, but mostly left it in his hands because we trusted him implicitly,” Anne said. “He loves what he does and it’s really reflected in his work. You couldn’t ask for finer craftsmanship. They are very special people (Tom and Carla Beebe), intelligent warm and giving. There is a deep soul quality about them.” Anne Isaacson, Incline Village, NV

Quotes from Sierra Sun Article “”Pieces from the Heart” by Jenny Luna, 4/4/13

In 2012 and 2013, I made the two separate built-in units for John and Anne and also built office components, an office desk, and a woodframed bulletin board for them.






Deb Cole and Lisa Dobey “Working with Tom was an amazing experience. Tom is an excellent cabinetmaker who was able to craft a builtin desk to match an existing piece…as well as an artist who created fabulous custom frames for our bathroom. Professional and creative….can’t beat that combination.” Deb Cole, Tahoe Donner

After designing and building a cabinet to match an existing set, Lisa and Debbie contracted with me again three different times to replace their stair treads, build two Marquetry mirror frames for their bathroom, and design/build a three-piece mirror set with inlay for their living area wall.

Mike Stamenson “Having dealt with other contractors on a variety of projects, working with Tom was a breath of fresh air. He does what he says he will do. He doesn’t mislead you regarding timelines or cost.” Mike Stamenson, Stateline, NV I subcontracted interior finish work in Mike’s condo at Stillwater Cove. I have since done several smaller projects for Mike, including the entertainment cabinet shown above (See Preceding six Slides)


Syd Bartlett “Tom Beebe was responsible for all of the interior and exterior finish carpentry involving design, fabrication, and installation of very intricate moldings. His workmanship was the finest quality I have ever seen. Tom was also responsible for coordinating all of the other subcontractors while he was performing his portion of the work. This was a major condominium remodel in Crystal Bay, Nevada.� Syd Bartlett, Bartlett Construction, Tahoe City, CA

Tom & Laurel Lippert “I asked Tom Beebe to make me a functional desk that looks like a piece of furniture. I got an exquisite workspace that inspires me. My friends have admired it and called my desk a “work of art,” which it is; yet its purpose is not compromised by its beauty. It is truly the nicest piece of furniture in my home. An extra bonus was Tom Beebe and his skillful crew who were always respectful and delightful to be around.” Laurel Lippert, April 21, 2008

After designing and building the writer’s desk/buffet for Laurel in 2008, Tom and Laurel contracted with me again in 2010 to remodel their living room area. (Six preceding slides)







Dr. Barbara Kramen Kahn & David Kahn “The Four pieces of furniture we had Tom Beebe make turned out even better than we expected! The workmanship and detail are superb. We are delighted by the quality.” Dr. Barbara Kramen-Kahn, Buckhorn Ridge Truckee “Watching a real craftsman at work throughout the process was part of the pleasure. We are thrilled with the finished product, and confident that we would not have found anything of this quality and beauty in any store or showroom. David Kahn

Rich Loverde Mr. Beebe has worked for my company as a subcontractor of interior woodwork during the last three years. At present, Tom is in charge of a fourteen-person crew of finish carpenters as well as other carpenters and laborers. Tom is responsible for all of the remaining subcontractor work and completing this 15,000 sf residence on time. Prior to this project, Tom was the superintendent on two other projects totaling approximately $6 million dollars.

Al O’Connor & Anne Studebaker •

“AFTER AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH, WE CHOSE TO WORK WITH TOM BEEBE FOR THE FINISH CARPENTRY ON OUR NEW LAKE-VIEW HOME. WE WANTED SOMEONE “SPECIAL” AS WE HAD A NUMBER OF ROOMS WHICH INVOLVED EXTENSIVE CABINETRY, PANELED WALLS, COFFERED CEILINGS AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF DETAILED WOOD TRIM AND RAILINGS. TOM’S WORK IS IMPECCABLE. NOT ONLY ARE HE AND HIS STAFF METICULOUS CRAFTSMEN, THEY WERE KEY CONTRIBUTORS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS – IN MANY CASES, THEY CREATED THE DESIGN! TOM GETS IT AND GAVE US A FINISHED PRODUCT THAT EXCEEDS OUR VERY HIGH EXPECTATIONS. TOM IS PROFESSIONAL, ENTHUSIASTIC AND JUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF HIS WORK. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE.” Al O’Connor, Incline Village, NV
