From the start, Bryan was responsive, professional, and totally dialed into our vision. He walked us through the process, gave clear and honest estimates, and helped us make smart design decisions without ever pushing unnecessary upgrades. The tile work turned out beautifully--we chose a deep green, and every tile was placed with precision. The craftsmanship was top-tier, and you could tell he and his team takes serious pride in their work. Our new vanity was a custom piece, and Bryan made sure the installation was seamless. Plumbing hookups, leveling, finishing details--everything was handled with care and precision. Electrical work was another big lift. Bryan's team upgraded the wiring, added GFCI outlets, new vent, and installed new sconces without damaging any of the fresh walls or finishes. They even updated the breaker box labels, which I seriously appreciated. His crew was punctual, tidy, and respectful of our space throughout--drop cloths, clean-up, the works. The job wrapped ahead of schedule and under budget, which is pretty much unheard of in remote areas like Cazadero. If you're looking for a trustworthy, highly skilled contractor who delivers on both craftsmanship and communication, Bryan Walker Construction is the one. We're already planning the next project with him--and I wouldn't dream of calling anyone else.

We were drawn to his past work and trusted right away that he could bring our vision to life. Even in the design phase, Nick's attention to detail and thoughtful approach have really stood out. He is warm, approachable, and easy to talk with--our meetings have been collaborative, enjoyable, and often filled with personal touches and stories that made the process feel comfortable and inspiring. Nick has guided us through material choices with great care, bringing beautifully vetted samples and unique, locally sourced options for wood, tile, and finishes. His passion for quality and sustainability really shines through, and we've loved his creative solutions and ability to offer custom, one-of-a-kind ideas to make the space truly our own. So far, working with Nick has been both fun and reassuring--we feel confident that when it comes time to build, our kitchen and dining room will be even more beautiful than we imagined.

Nick is a licensed general contractor and extraordinary carpenter with a great eye for detail. He is classically trained with a BFA in sculpture from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and exhibit buildout at SFMOMA. He checked all the boxes at our first on-site meeting and revisits. He was on time, on budget, an excellent listener and terrific communicator, highly skilled craftsman and problem solver, true to form with the best tools and matching materials, self-proclaimed nit-picky perfectionist, fine finish matching and all around nice guy. Nick is honest, quick to respond, perfect on the details, has very high standards, and is very caring and positive, gracious and modest. He used the existing design not reinventing the wheel and most likely would have improved the gateway design given the chance. Nick is an exceptionally talented contractor with many years of creative problem solving. To repeat, he has a great eye for detail and sculpted, integrated, seamless design with unique elements evidenced by his extensive portfolio. I never felt the need to micromanage him. He is terrific at remote site communication and management. We live in the East Bay and the owner is in Hawaii which adds a level of complexity to remote destination work. I stepped back remotely and admired Nick's process with timely before and after pictures. The end result was outstanding! We will definitely use Nick on our next project, very highly recommended!

We started working with Mike and his crew in the Fall of 2013 on a house in Bodega Bay…read more The house had a detached two car garage and needed a lot of work to address termite damage and general wear and tear. Mike and his crew did all of the following for us: 1. Repaired all damaged areas of the exterior on both the garage and the house. 2. Replaced all external door hardware and two external doors. 3. Painted both structures. 4. installed a french drainage system 5. Replaced a retaining wall and designed a new pergola entrance. His crew also helped with clearing out years of collected debris under the structures and on the property. Throughout the process Mike was in constant communication with us. He kept us informed of progress with emails and photos of the work as it was being completed. He and his team showed a great deal of pride in the work they were doing. They did fantastic work and neighbors constantly stop as they drive by to comment on how great everything looks. if you want a reliable and honest contractor that really cares about doing things right , Mike Stokes is the guy to call.

He walked us through every step of the process, and was always available for every question or concern that we had. Some contractors take a day or two to return your calls. Not Phil (or his wife, Michelle). He would either pick up immediately, or call us back in a few hours. He was always transparent, and willing to explain everything in great detail. His guys are fabulous to work with, and are such hard workers. Their craftsmanship and care for their work really shows. He also stands by his work. When we had an issue with some water leakage, he came immediately to fix it and covered all of the expenses. Hire Phil. You won't regret it. You won't get a flaky contractor. His work is beautiful, and we love our new home.

The workers abruptly stopped after noticing some damaged wood under the carpet. I called Phillip at Howard Construction. Even though it was a relatively minor job, he had someone come over the next morning at 7am to quickly repair it, at reasonable prices. The person who did the work - Barrett - could not have been more professional or personable. Huge thanks to Howard Construction - who I will be using for any construction work, large or small, going forward.

Oh, and MCD's bid included building a back porch for that price! They completed everything in a week because they swarmed us with workers who worked on both projects concurrently. And both projects are finished to a high quality - the porch looks stout enough to land a helicopter on! Anthony, Meagan, and Dan were a pleasure to work with. We had a supplier problem that could have delayed the shower project for a month. Instead, they found a work-around and the start time was only delayed a week. Two thumbs up for MCD because that's all the thumbs I got!

They had a bad answering service, so they fired them and now phones go unanswered. Bills are never sent. Customers are somehow supposed to intuit what they owe despite not knowing what services cost nor what services are performed. Appointments are scheduled via text message. There is no way to communicate if that works but often the technician doesn't show. Most of the time our technician is very kind and will let us know. But he's taking that on himself.

I am meticulous about wanting jobs done right the first time and up to my exacting standards, so I only hire Eric because I know and trust him. He listens, has fair pricing, and walks me through the projects to ensure my expectations are fulfilled. I ask many questions, and he is patient and answers them thoroughly. I appreciate his responsiveness and professionalism and that he is very neat and organized, providing high-quality work every time.! Equally important is that he is dependable and shows up when he promises. He has done everything from installing recessed lighting throughout my entire house (no easy task with extremely high, slanted, cathedral ceilings) and garage, installing plumbing fixtures and lighting fixtures, and everything in between--even hanging my artwork. Most recently a refrigerator on the top floor was hooked up improperly, causing water to slowly leak in between the wall and down to my second floor below. It suffered a good deal of water intrusion damage to two door frames, surrounding walls, and ceiling. He did an excellent job repairing/replacing the door frames and fixing the rest of the damage. I am so relieved that it looks new again, with no detectable previous damage. Thanks, Eric, for another excellent job!
