About VG Construction Company
Trusted Partner in Construction and Design
Building Trust Since 2015
Founded in 2015, VG Construction is a licensed Nevada construction company led by Ryan VanGorder, bringing decades of hands-on building experience to residential and small commercial projects throughout Gardnerville, Minden, and the greater Carson Valley.
The name VG Construction comes directly from the VanGorder family name — a reflection of the company’s roots as a family-driven business built on long-term relationships, honesty, and dependable craftsmanship.
Decades of Real-World Construction Experience
Ryan has been working in construction since 1997, gaining experience across all aspects of residential new construction long before starting his own company. Rather than learning the trade in a classroom, Ryan built his skills on the job, working through real projects, real challenges, and real job sites — experience that directly shows in the efficiency and problem-solving approach VG Construction brings to every build.
After years in the industry, Ryan founded VG Construction to create something lasting — not just for his clients, but for his family. With three sons, VG Construction operates with a long-term mindset and a personal level of accountability that’s hard to match.

What VG Construction Specializes In
VG Construction is best known for handling complex house foundations, but the company’s true strength lies in managing entire projects from start to finish.
Ryan enjoys overseeing full builds — from early groundwork and structural work through final completion — ensuring consistency, efficiency, and quality at every stage.
Common project types include:
Complete residential builds
Custom foundations and structural work
Additions and remodels
Residential and small commercial construction projects
VG Construction does not limit itself to a narrow scope and is equipped to take on a wide range of construction challenges.
How We Work
Every project begins with a focus on efficiency, clear communication, and execution.
VG Construction approaches each build with the intention of doing the job right the first time — moving projects forward efficiently without sacrificing quality. With a broad skill set and hands-on involvement from the owner, clients benefit from a smoother process and fewer delays.
What sets VG Construction apart is a combination of:
A broader-than-average construction skill set
Hands-on project leadership
A reputation for being faster and more efficient than many traditional builders
A strong emphasis on client relationships
For Ryan, a successful project isn’t just about the finished structure — it’s about maintaining a good working relationship with the client from start to finish.
Built on Honesty & Follow-Through
VG Construction operates on two core values: honesty and efficiency.
Ryan’s goal on every project is simple — do what he says he’s going to do. That commitment has led to a business built largely on repeat clients and referrals, with the company’s website serving as the primary source of new client connections.

Who We Are
Licensed & Trusted in Nevada
VG Construction is fully licensed through the Nevada State Contractors Board, holding a B2 Residential & Small Commercial Contractor license. This licensing allows VG Construction to legally perform a wide range of construction services while meeting Nevada’s requirements for bonding, compliance, and professional standards.
Serving Carson Valley & Beyond
Ryan has lived in the Carson Valley since 1980 and has been building in the area since 1997, giving him deep familiarity with local conditions, permitting processes, and construction requirements in Gardnerville, Minden, and surrounding communities. While VG Construction primarily serves local homeowners and businesses, Ryan has also traveled for work in the past and brings that broader experience to every project.
Looking Ahead
VG Construction plans to remain hands-on and owner-led, with Ryan personally overseeing projects until the next generation is ready to step in. This ensures clients continue to receive direct involvement, accountability, and experienced leadership on every build.
If you’re looking for a contractor who values honesty, efficiency, and delivering exactly what’s promised, VG Construction is ready to help bring your project to life.
