ABOUT RIZEK CUSTOM HOMES & REMODELING Tim Rizek, proprietor, is a native New Mexican and fifth generation carpenter. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering technology from New Mexico State University, where he played football for five years on scholarship. Tim’s roots in construction go back to his great-great- grandfather, a Chicago builder and developer. He apprenticed with his grandfather, Steve Rizek, a well-known local carpenter, and worked summers during college acquiring construction know-how from the ground up. While his business has grown rapidly since he opened his doors in 1998, Tim remains a hand-on owner commited to remaining personally involved with each job his company undertakes. “ I got into the contracting business because I saw the need for a higher level of quality and realized we had the ability to offer clients a better working experience every step of the way to completion,” he says. “I’ve gone from repairing sprinkler heads to working on some of the finest homes in town, specializing in the North Valley and Corrales. We also have jobs all over town, from Sandia Heights to Nob Hill to the South Valley,” he says, “and I have a hands-on perspective on every aspect of construction.” Anyone who has worked with Tim will tell you that from the initial meeting or phone contact with a client to the time a contract is signed, every aspect of the job is precisely detailed. He prides himself on his ability to communicate clearly and always presents as much information as possible on products and options to allow the customer ultimate flexibility in decision making. Furthermore, his customers agree that Rizek Custom Homes is an exceptionally professional and reliable outfit, where crews can be relied on to show up on time, at the agreed-on time. Tim personally returns all calls and is always available to customers for questions and consultation. Tim lives in Albuquerque’s North Valley with his wife, three children and the German shorthair pointers he raises.
