We live in Carmel Valley and hired Justin and his team to do an addition and full remodel of our home including re-plumbing, rewiring, redoing the septic systems and replacing our ridge line beam, after having a terrible experience with our first contractor. Justin's team picked up the project while in the permitting phase and did a fantastic job on all aspects of the project, from pulling the permits through the final. They were always available, transparent with their bid process and exceedingly fair when unknowns came up in the project. Doing a high-end remodel is never cheap, but their pricing was fair, transparent and they worked with us to fit everything we wanted into our budget and schedule. Could not recommend them more highly! read more

My wife and I have worked with Hastings Construction for over 20 years. Justin has completed work, both on simple and complicated projects, including new construction, remodels and repairs, both for us and for many of our clients. On each of those projects he and his team have exhibited a high level of experience, expertise and professionalism. They're also all very nice people; it's a pleasure working with them and having them in our home. Justin is an excellent communicator, and is always available to his clients when challenges arise during the completion of a project; he always returns phone calls/texts within a few hours, and most often does so "immediately". One recent example to show how Justin goes "above and beyond" to ensure his clients' satisfaction: Justin's team installed a Generac generator at our home in October 2022. The unit worked as expected during the early part of the storms/floods we on the Monterey Peninsula experienced in January 2023, but then failed. It simply would not start, or generate electricity as designed. Once it failed, we made immediate contact with the Generac customer service department, which proved both immediately and over the next three months to be entirely unresponsive and untrustworthy. Their goal from the very beginning was to deny responsibility for the failure, which they ultimately did. We made dozens of phone calls to the customer service department and left dozens of voice mail messages, as did Justin's project manager (initially) and Justin (once we had utterly failed to get any meaningful response from Generac). During that same time period, we experienced more than a dozen PG&E power outages at our home, and were "left in the dark", without a functioning generator, during all those outages. Finally, in mid-March 2023, after more than three months of us living with a brand new but failed generator, Justin made the "high road" decision to purchase a new generator and deliver/install it at our house, all at his cost and at no cost to us. He hauled away the failed generator, and we understand he plans to continue to attempt to urge Generac to stand behind its product. We have on many occasions in the past recommended Hastings Construction to friends and clients, and obviously will continue to do so in the future. They are a first-class, reliable business. read more

I called up Hastings Construction to have them repair a fence in the backyard at an elderly family friends house. Justin, his office staff, and the guys that came out to do the job were prompt and professional every step of the way! After an initial discussion with Justin about the job, he sent me a quote to sign and had his crew along with materials there first thing the next morning. The job was completed in just two days and the fence looks great! In a day an age of flaky contractors and poor workmanship, it is refreshing to find a company that is professional and does high quality work. Kudos to Justin and his great crew at Hastings Construction! Jason H. read more

We just contracted with Hastings Construction to do some renovations on our cottage in Carmel. They finished the work more quickly than we expected and at the initially estimated cost. No fuss, no muss. Justin is extremely knowledgeable about local construction techniques and issues, and also helped us with information not directly related to the repairs. The week after the repairs were completed the GFCI on our water heater went on the fritz, and Justin had the electrician there in less than 2 hours (on a Saturday!). Needless to say we've been delighted with Hastings and will use them again whenever we need a contractor. read more

We hired Hastings Construction for an addition to our Carmel Home. The site was challenging. They rose to the occasion. Not only did they do a great job with the new construction, but they protected the existing home and garden and accommodated our visits out there before the job was completed. I can not recommend them more highly. I would use them if any further changes were to be made. They were also very conscious of staying within our budget. Thanks, Justin and his crew. Bob Netsley was such a pleasure to work with. read more

Justin and Hal were extremely proactive in helping me recover from house/garage damage caused by a huge cypress tree that fell after all the rains softened the ground and winds gusted to 70 mph. They were among the first to see that damage, and offered to help any way they could. Hal and Justin not only did a great job, they did it very quickly, enabling our property to look completely unharmed for a wedding reception that had been planned months before and could not be moved. Having had them do work for us in the past, we felt very comfortable that Hastings would do their usual excellent job, and we could not have been happier or more impressed! read more

We just hired Hastings Construction for the second time in just over a year. Our first project was a bathroom remodel and 2nd project a wall tear-down and rebuild with sound proofing material. They provided excellent service overall. There was great attention to detail, and they did a fine job in an expedited time frame. We really appreciated daily updates on how things were looking and the process involved. Everyone was always very courteous and professional, taking care to clean up nicely at the end of the day. Would certainly recommend to others around the area. read more

I called Hastings to talk with them about two bathroom remodels. Justin came by and did a walk through. I could tell he was a good guy and his estimate was fair. He accomodated our schedule and once work started it moved seamlessly. He and his team were friendly, nice, responsible and they always showed up as planned. Justin is really good at scheduling his guys -- if an electrician was planned for 1:00 -- he was there at 1:00. Always. And the work they did was just beautiful. We lived here during construction (which I'm sure makes their job more difficult). We got to know George well -- he did the tile work -- and so much more. He is a great guy. He not only put up with me, he cleaned up every evening and then on Fridays, packed things up since we would be here during the weekends. Justin checked in regularly as we progressed. It was a good experience, and every single person on his crew and in his office were just great. I'll call him again when it's time to do something with the kitchen counters...Thanks! read more
