Since both my brother and I live a good 1 day drive and 2 day drive from the home, Megan took care of things we were unable to do to get it ready to sell. Thank you Megan!

After at least 10 unaccepted offers, during the crazy and competitive time for buyers, I finally…read morebought my home. At a time where single family homes were going to cash buyers or up to $50K above asking, Megan Russin's recommendations and calm demeanor helped to guide me through a smooth closing process, allowing me to purchase my home at below asking price (unheard of at that time). She showed me every home I was interested in, taught me about the market, what issues I should be concerned about, and how to negotiate a great purchase. To be honest, it would not have been possible without Megan's help. She was invested in every inspection and was a great sounding board. She was a trusted advisor when I had to back out of escrow (after an unfavorable inspection). She was a friend when my offers were not accepted, she helped me stay motivated when it felt impossible. Even after closing, she helped me to find reliable contractors and helping orient me to the local resources for home repairs and getting settled. Now when I come home, I sigh a sigh of relief to have a comfortable home in an excellent and safe neighborhood. Here I am 10 months later and the market has changed, house prices are dropping, yet I have zero regrets and my home is now appraising at above what I paid. If you are looking for a realtor, Megan Russin with Coldwell Banker Sellers Realty, is a great partner in this process. She is creative and will work hard to make your dreams come true. You will be in good hands with Megan.

I just returned from Arcata and settling my daughter and her roommates into their rented home…read more School (Humboldt State) starts in less than a week and we were anxious to get everything accomplished. I phoned the Carter House Inn prior to coming and asked for a recommendation for a handyman. I was given the name and phone number of Mark Anthony 707 599-0187. His prices were fair, he was prompt and polite. He cleaned up after himself, hauled the old boxes outside without being asked. We had a long list of repairs to be made at their rented house, and then curtains to be hung, furniture to be assembled. If you live in the neighborhood or are settling your Humboldt college student and need handyman services, I highly recommend Mark Anthony.

Whether one's young or old, we all need a good handyman once in a while. Sadly, there are few…read morearound, let alone those you can trust. A good handyman is hard to find - especially for seniors! When a good man is found, it's like finding gold. My aging friend in the Arcata area needed heavy furniture & mattresses to be moved around, a faucet repair and a split jammed drawer to be fixed. Those needs were only the tip of the iceberg of her repair needs. She was feeling frustrated and depressed because she had nobody to help her. She'd emailed me to complain about her joint pains and frustrations about not being able to do all the repairs. There were no handymen or neighbors to help. So I went to Yelp and, fortunately, found Mark Anthony - the only handyman listed in Eureka area! After giving him a call to see if he really existed & still in business, I told him I'd give my friend his number. She called him immediately. Mark fixed everything needed in a short amount of time & had the furniture back in place. My friend was absolutely thrilled with his professionalism and skills. He'd even fixed the broken split drawer! That had been in early December. Now my friend hires Mark to do everything that's impossible for her to do herself. She's absolutely thrilled with Mark as a person and as a very skilled handyman. She raves about Mark in her emails. After Mark's first visit, she'd written, "Mark Anthony is now MY handyman.  I take possession, and hopefully he will take me on as one of his regular customers." My friend would probably give Mark Anthony 50 stars if she could.

They worked SAFE and swift and got the job done in an orderly fashion. Nice cleanup after. I much appreciated the good communication throughout the project, making sure all was good and taken care of. Many thanks to Mark Friedrich and Crew, much appreciated!

I should have written this review 6 years ago when they first completed our roof, but I did not…read more Now there is a new problem so I feel I should leave one now. At first it seemed like they were doing a great job. All of the guys were friendly and seemed professional. They completed our roof and were coming back the next day to clean up the mess that was left in the yard. It rained overnight and I woke up to water coming in our bathroom heating vent. There was a huge water stain on the ceiling of our bedroom as well. They also used long nails which came through the ceiling of our front porch. They did come and snip off the nails so that was better. Mark wasn't super pleasant to work with after this point and would only take $200 off of the price because that is what it would cost to paint the ceiling, which was popcorn so just painting over it didn't seem like a great idea. They had to set up fans in the attic to help it dry out. Fast forward 6 years to last week. We had a great deal of rain, and I arrived home from work to find water dripping from our kitchen light fixture. We looked at the contract and realized there was only a five-year warranty. We should have been more cautious and gone with someone with a better warranty. Well, we had to climb up on the roof and found that the 'tar' around the exhaust fan pipe had shriveled and cracked. We were able to purchase some stuff at ACE and repair it ourselves. I do not recommend this company. We wish we had used someone more established.

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.
