History
Our story begins in the summer of 1975 when David Frederick Altmann (dfaltmann) remodeled his first home - a small Victorian in downtown Los Gatos, CA. Fred would remodel and build new craftsman style homes in his down-time from his full-time teaching job.
In 1985 Fred and Jill (Fred’s Wife) made a life altering choice and moved the family from Los Gatos, CA to Reno, NV. Fred would place his teaching duties on hold and become the first full-time custom home builder in the newly developed Caughlin Ranch in western Reno.
