The Heller Construction Company


In 1977, Robert Heller and Patty Gallagher got married, moved to Northern California from their homes in the Bay Area and started on their path using their unique vision of creating the Home.

Robert and Patty have always worked as a team within their construction company. Robert is hands on in the building process of the more than 60 custom homes, wineries and assorted other buildings they have created in California, at times managing 3-4 large projects simultaneously. They have also subcontracted for Linkey Construction of Tahoe City, building a lodge at Granlibakken, a whole house remodel at Dollar Hill and a 7000 square foot custom home frame on Dollar Point. Patty manages the office, employees, and all things construction. Her creative passion for Interior Design compliments and completes their projects.

Through the years and the construction projects they have raised three extraordinary and talented children, two of which have joined Heller Construction, Cody Heller and Dan Heller. Each of their talents and perspectives bring to the company an invaluable approach. Both sons had celebrated Rugby careers at Saint Mary's College and know the meaning of teamwork. Their youngest, Melissa Heller graduated from Saint Mary's College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Business Administration and is currently working in that field in the Lake Tahoe area.

Heller Construction is a family business that takes pride in every aspect of their work.
