Don Faxon - Letter of Recommendation

 To whom it may concern, 

​

I am providing this letter in support of Treeline Construction for the areas of Quality of Services, Customer Satisfaction, and Overall Business Relations. 

​

The firm has provided scopes of work and bid documents for construction carpentry, masonry, concrete work and roofing repair that incorporate treatment plans for historic elements at numerous projects for Yosemite National Park, including the National Historic Landmark Ahwahnee and Wawona Hotels, among many other historic buildings and structures. Over the past four years that I have been able to advise and monitor on projects they have undertaken here I have found them to be highly thoughtful, dependable, responsible, and adaptable to a variety of numerous projects involving field situations that require adjustments in scope and/or creative problem solving, and in situations involving even issues involving insufficient historic construction methods and structural issues they have provided recommendations that I have found superior to work originally designed by contracted architects. 

​

In cases where significant changes in scope were required that involved change orders and additional time Treeline has always patiently adapted to those revised demands, taking on projects involving significant field decisions mid-project and conducted amongst other active contracted projects such as the Ahwahnee’s massive seismic project. The firm has always stood behind their work and is among the easiest yet most professional to work with. I cannot think of another firm I have had the pleasure of working with on the West Coast that I would choose to work with on a highly complex and valuable historic resource than Treeline. 

​

Sincerely, 

Donald M. Faxon, Historical Architect
