You cannot go wrong with Wes and his team! We built a new ADU in our backyard after tearing down an old 1920's garage. They did a spectacular job envisioning and communicating the project as a whole and easily broke it down to every little detail in between that you wouldn't even think of. Each contractor and sub-contractor that worked on our project was respectful of our property, friendly, detail-oriented, and left high quality results. There were some challenges during the design and construction due to the city requirments, which is expected given the scope of the project. However, the team handled these challenges very effectively and professionally. There is no doubt that I will hire Harding Design & Construction again, thanks again guys! read more

By the time we called Harding Design and Construction, we were at the end of our rope. This was a serious a case of 'love it or list it'. 2 adults, 2 kids, and 1 big ol' dog in a very compartmentalized 1947 home was not working for us anymore. We knew we probably could not make changes to the size of our modest home, but we were convinced we could improve the flow. When it came to interviewing contractors, I was excited but still a bit gun shy because I had heard endless horror stories about dishonest contractors, sky high costs and 1/2 finished remodels. However, we knew very early on that Harding Design and Construction would be different. Throughout the bid process they demonstrated professionalism, consistency and open communication. We took Wes' actions early on to be a sign of things to come and after meeting with 2 other contractors we signed on with Wes. I would not say our remodel was a walk in the park; of course, we ran into the inevitable problems that surface when you open the walls of an old home (and remain living in the home throughout the process). Yet Wes, Mary and Aaron were with us every step of the way. I would be remiss if I did not touch on each of them for one moment: -Wes is methodical and professional. He never came to us with a problem he did not already have a solution for. -Aaron is one of the most meticulous workers I have ever met. He has an eagle eye for imperfections and the skill to fix them. -Mary's communication, design sense and ability to keep the project exciting (even when if starts to feel long) made me feel at ease and in control. By the time, the project was complete, what had started out as a kitchen/living/dining remodel turned into a whole house makeover! There is not a room that was not touched. I will tell you with conviction I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The functionality of our home has improved by 200%. Our house now fits our needs and family perfectly. Thanks to Harding Design and Construction, I can confidently say we will be here for decades to come! read more

Wes and his team from Harding Construction did a large addition and remodel to my home, and I couldn't be happier! Wes started by creating a few different design plans which took some things into consideration (like light!) which I had not considered. The same thoughtful approach was not evident with the other contractors that I contacted, which may explain their blatantly unrealistic price points and timeframes. The project included the addition of two new bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, construction of a new garage and conversion of the existing garage to living space, expanding the front entry, installation of a tankless water heater, full insulation of both new and existing structure, installation of hardwood floors throughout, plus all of the finish carpentry and miscellaneous doo-dads. At every point through the project, Wes kept our wishes at the forefront of the project, but also helped us to remain practical so that we would not regret our choices in the future. On a personal note: We lived in the house during almost the entire construction process (Yikes, right?). You really come to know the company under those circumstances, and I would trust Harding Construction to do any work in my home, at any time. Paul (our main Harding workman) made sure to check on my 83 year old mother each morning and each evening; he truly became one of the family. You can't just buy that kind of caring. When I decide to do any future remodeling, I know I won't have to look for another company; I have already chosen Harding Construction. read more

This is our second time working with Harding Design and Construction. Wes is very responsive and keeps us in the loop of everything that is going on, and where they are at in the project. He always has good ideas how to make things aesthetic, energy efficient, and how to work within budget and with the existing code laws. He ties up all the loose ends well and his team of workers are always respectful of our home and privacy. We would definitely work with him again. read more

Harding Construction did a room/kitchen add-on and complete kitchen remodel for us in Huntington Beach. We added on about 200 sq ft to our kitchen and did a complete gut job down to the studs. They are a design/build firm, so it was one-stop shop from the design/planning stage all the way through permits and execution. Highly recommend this process. Communication was good and Wes is a nice, honest person. He is trustworthy and we did not have any major problems during the remodel, other than it took a bit longer than we expected. But, the Covid shut down happened in the middle of our project, so I'm sure some/most (but maybe not all) of the delay was due to that. It's been a year since our project was completed and as more time passes we are even more happy with the result. Very high-quality, good design, and we are very happy with the final project. There were minor things here and there, but like I said earlier, no major problems.... and that's saying a lot given the scope of the project and the horror stories we hear from friends and neighbors. Also, not a low budget/cheap option, but good quality and still reasonable given what you get. Overall we are very satisfied with the final project and would recommend Harding Construction. read more

I've hired Harding Construction on two separate occasions. One for installation of french doors and another for a list of misc. projects including rebuilding a porch overhang. Both projects came out great and price seemed good compared to other quotes. Good effort to keep things clean and I liked the options they presented me during the project. Only gripe is workers didn't always show up on time. read more

Harding Construction was recommended to our family from one of my coworkers. As an architect, I was particularly interested in Harding construction because of their experience with energy efficient HVAC solutions and home energy upgrades. They were very professional, willing to offer advice, sensitive to our budget, and honest about the best solution for our house even before we hired them to perform the work. We eventually hired them for abatement of our existing ducts that were wrapped with asbestos insulation, a complete installation of a brand new heating and cooling system, new ducting, new water heater, and new back door. We are extremely happy with our results and highly recommend them for anyone looking for home upgrades. Our home is now very comfortable to live in during the hot summer months. In addition to the new HVAC system, the craftsmanship of their work was exceptional. As a practicing architect, the quality of the installation met each and every one of my requirements. Lastly, Harding Construction is licensed, insured, fully bonded and provides a guarantee on their work. We would definitely hire Harding Construction for future work on our house. read more

We hired Wes Harding and his team for a kitchen remodel in our Naples home. He won our bid because his pricing was logical and he answered our questions and explained solutions for items of concern. Throughout the project his team arrived on time, left the site broom swept at the end of each day, and were equally personable and willing to explain our options when situations arose on site that were unique. We are detailed-oriented clients and I appreciated the team's patience with our critical eye. We are using our new kitchen and are very happy with the aesthetics, functionality, and quality of work. The project was completed on time and to budget. read more

Having just bought a condo in Long Beach back in December 2011, I decided to do some remodeling. I came across Wes at Harding Construction & Sustainable Solutions when I noticed his ad in the local Long Beach newspaper (Grunion Gazette) for energy efficient upgrades. Wes responded to my email with a phone call which I thought was a nice touch. After chatting for a bit, we setup a time to meet. Even though I have a small condo, it was really cool that Wes invested the time to walk me through some basic things I could do to help maximize my energy consumption. The end result of this first meeting didn't really translate to any major business for Wes; however, a few months later, I remembered him when I needed someone to help finish my back-splash. He quoted me a very fair price and one of his employee's, Jeff, was able to complete my back-splash in one day. Wes took the time to come over after the work was completed and made sure I was completely satisfied. I told him I already referred him to a few other people in my building that were looking to have work done. In this current economy, contractors are a dime a dozen. However, customer service and quality of work is not always easy to find. read more

Harding Construction performed a complete kitchen remodel in my home in 2011. His crews always showed up for work when expected and were both curtious (to me and my neighbors) and worked clean. This was a major project involving taking the kitchen back to studs and moving several of the components to new locations within the kitchen (my decision). I appreciated Wes' approach of bringing in a designer and cabinet guy from the beginning which led to brain storming potential problems and making sound decisions before the work was begun. The project is beautiful and came in on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Harding Constructioon if quality, honesty and timeliness are a priority. Mike M. read more

Wes renovated our guest bathroom and I am very glad we chose him as our contractor. He understood our needs, wasn't pushy to get the job, and provided a thoroughly detailed written estimate - things that not all the contractors I talked to were able or willing to do. Wes, Jeff and Ricardo understood our vision and even worked with us to install a copper penny floor, which was the first time for all of us, and became the focal point of the bathroom! I wanted to find a contractor that also lives in Long Beach, to keep the money flow local, and I like his "green" sense of doing business. When you can come through a job like that and immediately think of what other projects a contractor can do around your house - you've found a good company. We made the right choice to work with Wes and I will vouch for him anytime. read more

Wes saved the day! I moved into my condo with an incomplete master bathroom due to my previous contractor putting me on the back burner for another job. It was very stressful to say the least. I was fortunate that someone referred me to Wes for a completely different issue and Wes was willing to pick up where my old contractor left off. Wes was very helpful with guiding me through the best way to complete the job within my budget. A special thanks to Mary for finding a great quartz top for my vanity and to Paul for doing such great work. Wes and his team were very professional and communicative from start to finish. I was very impressed. Highly recommend. read more

For the past 10 + years, I've used Wes Harding for numerous projects...from small to large (major kitchen/2 bathroom remodel). I've never been disappointed in the quality of his work. They show up on time and clean up when they leave. On the rare occasion that I need something adjusted or touched up, it is done in a timely and courteous manner. Wes is honest and conscientious....rare attributes these days. And, my dog loves him and his crew :-) read more

I contacted their office to construct a deck for me. I was called back 2 days later with a cordial message on my phone saying it sounded like a "small job" and they would have to decline the job. Now, if you check their website, it clearly lists decks as one of their specialties and since they did not know the square footage of the deck I needed, how did they come to a conclusion that it is a small job? I would NEVER recommend them, as this is so unprofessional...not even an attempt to give me an estimate. read more

Wes Harding is more knowledgeable in his field than most of the people I've run across. I am very energy conscious and wanted to get the most results in home comfort for the least expenditure of energy. I wanted a whole house fan, and he also suggested tripling our attic insulation along with that. I cannot believe the difference this has made in our lives! What used to be a heat magnet in warm weather, now feels cooler than the outside when I walk in the door, and after running the fan for a little while I don't think about the heat anymore. It's a very natural way to cool down and use very little energy, while doing it. Wes makes sure that the work is done correctly. The people he hired, who did the bulk of the work in our home, were people I felt very comfortable having in my house. They understood exactly what was needed and endeared my trust early on. They also did everything they could to keep things clean. We owe Wes and his gang, a big thank you. read more

We recently contracted Wes Harding Construction and Sustainable Solutions to remodel our original1947 kitchen. Wes met with us to determine the scope of our project and soon after provided us with an estimate and a detailed contract outlining all the expectations. His original estimate of cost was accurate and he provided written invoices of completed work. As the project progressed, Wes was flexible with changes we made as well as extra work we added, making appropriate suggestions to meet our kitchen needs and budget. His crew members were efficient and detailed oriented. We appreciated that they kept the work area organized and as clean as possible in a construction site. We really liked the detailed written timeline that showed when projects would be started and completed. Needless to say, the project was finished on time and we are very happy with our new kitchen. We strongly recommend Wes Harding Construction. read more

I recently had Wes and his team do an "Energy Upgrade" project for me. The process of going about understanding how the rebate program works and what amounts are available is extremely convoluted. Wes was fantastic in spelling out all of the variables and giving a conservative estimate that left a lot of upside. He handles all of the paperwork and submission as well. Throughout the process he was not only extremely knowledgeable but very consultative in helping me understand exactly what work needed to be done in order to achieve the desired outcome, and believe me, I had a lot of questions for which he had answers. Once he started the project, his crew was extremely timely, orderly in their work, and professional. The work was completed on time - as promised - and surpassed all of the metrics needed to receive the maximum rebates. I would highly recommend Wes and his team for any Energy Upgrade program project and really any type of construction upgrade for that matter. read more
