Meet the Tahoe Workz Team
Carl and Heidi Kurashewich
Originally from southern California, moved to Incline Village back in 1994, where they raised their family.
They started their painting business formerly known as Kurashewich Painting, Inc. in 1994. Recognizing the need to stay busy year around, they acquired Tahoe Workz in 2009 to include snow removal services in the winter time.
Carl and Heidi enjoy spending time together exploring new hobbies and taking advantage of all the amenities that mountain life has to offer. They are blessed to call Tahoe “home”.
They are very proud of their team of professionals who work hard all year around providing painting/staining and snow removal to the residents of North Lake Tahoe.
