I highly recommend Josh Backman, proprietor of Northern Humboldt Builder. Not only does he do…read moreexcellent, conscientious work, but he shows up when he says he will, and responds promptly when contacted. This spring (2024), Josh "refreshed" my kitchen (a mini-remodel), meticulously refinishing the cabinets (not an easy job when they're still in place) and installing the tile backsplashes himself. He coordinated with the specialists who created and installed the new cabinet doors, countertops, and flooring. During the process, he would double-check with me to see if the work met with my approval. He did all the "finish" work of reinstalling the sink, lights, and electrical plugs, and doing patchwork on the plaster where needed. He was prepared to paint, but that was something I chose to do myself. I am so pleased with the results. Josh was careful to prevent sanding dust from getting into the rest of the house, and tidied up after each day's work. He cheerfully accepted some change order tasks that popped up during the kitchen work, such as repairing my nearly 20 year-old on-demand water heater that started leaking. That job took a few tries, so he returned a couple of times when he had a moment to replace yet another aging O-ring. If his repair work didn't work, he was prepared to replace the water heater with a new unit as soon as he was able. Although a remodel is never cheap, I thought that Josh's price was more than fair, especially in these days of high inflation. I am sure there are other fine contractors in the area, but Josh's combination of excellent work, reliability, and positive attitude place him at the top of my list. I recommend that more people hire him and treat him well, so he stays in the area a good long time.

We recently hired Joshua Backman of Northern Humboldt Builder to remodel our utility room. The work…read moreconsisted of replacing the plumbing and wiring, removing old paneling and completely installing new sheetrock on the walls and ceiling, re-framing and installing 2 new doors, insulation, painting and all trim. We couldn't be happier with Josh's work and work ethic. He is a perfectionist and very conscientious. He makes the best use of his time, and when he arrives he really cranks out the work. We highly recommend Josh for any type of construction project that you have. He is a real find!

Renaissance did an excellent job of painting the interior of my house. This included high ceilings,…read morewallpaper removal, and several walls resurfaced to match preexisting texture.

My wife and I are past the age of taking on large, physically challenging projects on our home so…read morewhen our old-growth redwood-sided home and ipe deck needed refurbishing, we started looking for a painting company that could do the work well and not break the bank. As it happened, a young woman I work with told me her fiance is a painter. I was dubious at first thinking I would rather have a more experienced (read older) person who understood the idiosyncrasies of washing and protecting wood. However, after discussions with my co-worker, I found out that although her finance is a young man, he is the beneficiary of being the fourth generation of a venerable and highly respected family of painters and access to those many years of knowledge and experience. So my wife and I decided to roll the dice and I am so happy we did. The work was difficult due to excessive mold that is prevalent in the wooded and shaded area in which our home resides. It took them two times to get the mold off the softer shingles and then they had to sand them to bring back the grain. The ipe deck proved equally as challenging but was met with the same expertise. To further complicate matters, my wife chose three colors of stains for different surfaces but the painters took in those and all other requests and delivered what I would call nothing less than a masterpiece. The house and deck look incredible, the clean-up was perfect and we are confident that we will enjoy years of maintenance-free wear. Lastly, and almost as important, is the easy and professional manner in which our painters communicated with us. Whether by phone or email, we were always kept up to date with what work was done, what was scheduled for the future and when we could expect it to be done. I highly recommend Renaissance Painting and will use them in the future. Good luck to you on your project. Bob M., Freshwater, CA

My landlady hired Lawn Care Plus, after firing a dishonest lawncare person (invoicing her and not…read moreshowing up). Unlike that jerk and his son, Lawn Care Plus crew are always honest, they do an excellent job on lawn maintenance. They do bigger jobs like cutting bushes and other growing things like a tree and a bush, once a year. Lawn Care Plus employees are the best, never leaving a mess. As the tenant for 20 years, I was very impressed. To prevent my cat from being freaked out by the loud mowers and blowers, Lawn Care Plus called me the day before they were coming. That was so appreciated so I could put kitty in one small room in her carrier with carrier door open and other places to hide in the closet, in order for kitty to feel safe. Lawn Care Plus also took care of the property across the street once I gave the new owner their information. They did a great job there as well for the new homeowner who lived in another city until he could fix that place up. The Lawn Care Plus Crew also took away huge loads of junk for that Owner in another town. This is junk that homeless people leave behind in their attempts to squat there in that vacant house. Of course, that was an extra charge, like yearly hedges and cut back.
