I live very remote, many contractors hang up or request travel time just to give a quote. Kyler visited my property, we talked about the projects, and he gave me free written quotes. Some of the work was on challenging terrain, some other contractors no bid. I found his work to be excellent, and regardless of the difficulties, Kyler never complained or requested more money. I call Kyler the Crocodile Dundee of Humboldt County.

Estimator said he'd have a bid for my gates in my email on Wednesday. I did a follow up call on Friday and the woman on the phone informed me the estimator hadn't completed the bid yet, was waiting to hear from their supplier, and I should expect the bid in a couple of days. Yeah right. I couldn't see it, but I heard the woman utilize a toothpick to remove a piece of BS from her teeth. Don't waste your time on these unprofessional knuckle heads.

Travis at Humboldt Renovation and Design is someone you can trust and gets the work done in a…read moretimely manner. I found Travis through the Yelp "My projects" section where I was trying to find a contractor to help us fix a leak in our guest bedroom. We couldn't find where the leak was coming from and I was trying to get price estimates from different contractors to solve the problem. Most of the contractors said they couldn't give a real estimate till they started doing the full project which seemed understandable. What stood out about Travis though is that he made the effort to say for $100 he would assess the issue by cutting out a piece of my drywall and give me a proper estimate. My fiancé and I were on board and happy to see someone take initiative like Travis. Travis then went on to find a pinhole leak in one of our old copper pipes and he right away gave us an estimate that was much more reasonable than other contractors we spoke with. Travis went on to fix our leaky pipes and found out that we replaced the wrong pipe. There was a pipe above the one we saw that was actually the cause of the leak. Travis messaged me and said that he would only charge for the additional pieces (no additional labor for his work), which was super generous and understanding of him. We got this repair done and out of the way in an efficient manner thanks to Travis' diligence. My fiance and I are now having Humboldt Renovation help us replace carpet in our house for "hardwood" vinyl, replacing our shower, and putting in a new dryer vent. I additionally want to add that I has also asked him to replace both of our garage door openers which we signed up to do and later on found out it was covered through our home warranty program. Even though I already signed for Travis to do the work, he was very understanding and let us get the repair done instead by our home warranty service. Humboldt Renovation and Design will be the only contractor we will be using around our house. He is a great person with a sweet family and does great work. Thank you Travis!!!

We have had nothing but top notch work from Shawn and Ryan at Compass Carpentry! These guys know…read moreexactly what they are doing and how to do everything right (and if they don't know themselves they know who does). They work quickly, efficiently, and cleanly. They communicate very effectively and meet your needs. Their prices are not the lowest but neither are they the highest. They do wonderful work at perfectly reasonable prices and won't try to sucker their clients. Here is a sample of what we have had them do and it just keeps growing... Shawn resolved an electrical problem in three minutes that other electricians were estimating would take days. Shawn put in railings for our stairs and made a gorgeous mantle for our fireplace. Shawn also put up security lights for us. Shawn and Ryan replaced two broken down old windows with great new ones that are energy efficient. Shawn built a fantastic custom closet and laundry room cabinets for us that make the laundry room much more pleasant to be in and very functional and adjustable. We even had them build us a custom captains bed frame for my 6'8" tall hubby with storage drawers. Currently Shawn is repairing my Mom's back door and our gate that broke in the wind yesterday and tomorrow he'll be coming back to discuss a patio and garage project as well as fix some smoke alarms. I wish Shawn had been our home inspector because he immediately saw the issues we discovered only after we moved in. So now we are using his skills and knowledge to make our family homes better. They are great around kids too (an important thing for parents of small ones to note). I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

He and his team are easy to work with, they keep us apprised of options and suggest better ways to achieve results and they find creative solutions. We have an older quirky home that is always needing something. Ryan and team have rebuilt and reroofed our large (and old) chicken coop, built a fence, a deck railing, opened up a wall so we'd have room for a larger fridge, rebuilt a wall with numerous windows, installed several doors and most recently helped us build a garden/green house using mostly repurposed materials. It was so easy to work with Ryan. We'd express our ideas and he'd figure out a way to make our dream a reality. We appreciate how we can count on Ryan to help us keep our home and place in top shape.

The invoice was presented the day before completion. I paid it that day, never thinking he would leave anything undone. 2 gates still needed latches.
