Then he offered suggestions to improve our ideas and presented a reasonable estimate. Well, the red birch Shaker style doors that he and his team created and installed are great examples of superb professional craftmanship.

Mark may be a nice man but he definitely isn't a good home inspector. After owning my home for…read moreabout 9 months, found evidence of ongoing water damage in my master bath. I crawled underneath my house (as did mark) and found evidence of rust and leaks that Mark never even mentioned. This is stuff that was going on for years and was easily detected by an inexperienced new homeowner. Mark doesn't use a moisture meter which indicates how much moisture is in the wood and if he had he could have told us what we needed to know about the condition of the house we we're buying. I do not recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a home. We also learned the door to our garage isn't fire-rated, another thing he missed. Here's some pictures of the mess we are now dealing with that we purchased thanks to Mark. Never hire a home inspector in HumCo who doesn't use moisture readers- it's like walking into a huge financial obligation completely blind.

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 highly recommend Josh for any type of construction project that you have. He is a real find!

We took pictures and followed up verbally as well as email to be sure we were both thinking the same thing. We talked about what I wanted and he shared what he could do. He provided options along the way. He had a slab which he thought fit the style I wanted and was very thoughtful in the process. He provided an accurate estimate of time and shipped the top to me. Very well packaged. I would highly recommend him for custom work. I was drawn to him because I liked his art work and I thought I'd love a usable piece of art in my home on wheels.
