Alturas rental situations, from onsite construction to emergencies
Construction is a steady source of rentals in Alturas: an onsite construction crew far from a restaurant, a construction site with no permanent kitchen yet, or a renovation that has closed the one that was there.
Onsite construction near Alturas
Alturas is a small town, and a large onsite construction crew can outnumber what its restaurants serve in a day. A portable kitchen trailer parked at the construction site solves lunch, with a shower trailer for longer jobs.
Where a Alturas crew stays and eats
With Susanville about 74 miles south, a Alturas project has nearby lodging but a long lunch break. Renting a kitchen, cold storage and restrooms for the onsite construction crew keeps people on the job.
