We've been working with Nick from Sunrise Homestead on the design for a major remodel of our…read morekitchen and dining room, and the experience has been wonderful. 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!

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.

Phil is a fabulous contractor. I would highly recommend him. He helped us rebuild our home after…read morethe Tubbs fire in 2017. 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.

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.

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.

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.

As someone who works with many contractors professionally, I was particularly impressed by Anthony's "open-book" transparency and honesty.

If you want a builder who prioritizes integrity and craftsmanship, I highly recommend MCD. Thank you, Anthony!

I took many pictures of the small hole where the water was shooting out of the plug. I figured since they had put the system in I could get some advice on my next step. I went to their office and the kind receptionist took the information and told me Jeff the owner would call me. Well, I figured if I was lucky, I might get a call in a few days. Boy was I wrong Jeff called me in a couple of hours I sent him some pictures to his phone, and he immediately diagnosed my problem. The last person who had purged my system left the purge plug in instead of the putting the solid plug bag in. This seems like a small thing, but the little things matter. This is how you can tell if you can trust someone. Thank you so very much

As a new home owner, having to do stuff for the house is still quite an unknown journey for me. And…read moreso, when we had wood rot on our balcony beam replaced, I was not excited to get it figured out. I read many reviews on Yelp, and after evaluating many contractors, I decided to use Yelp's project tool to contact Clark Innovative. When you do this, you get responses from many other companies too. Many reached out before Chris from Clark did. I ended up making an appointment with one of them to have them take a look at it. This person began has contract biz recently... and he did not seem confident. The way he was looking at it, he was reacting in a way that seemed like it's a bit of a pain in the you-know-what job and said it was going to cost a lot. He was a nice guy, but he did not instill confidence in me that he knew what he was doing. (He never even sent me a bid) After that, I wondered if I should reach out to these other companies that responded, but my intuition was telling me to wait a bit longer. Clark did eventually respond with apologies, and made an appointment to come look. They looked at it and just the way he was acting, I could tell this person knew what they were doing, and they came up with a solution to just replace the rotted portion, saving us half the cost! (So yeah, I believe the innovative part of their name!) It was all incredibly reasonable. Dates were pushed back etc, because of rain and other things, but I honestly didn't mind it. Chris tried to be a good communicator, and even when he wasn't, I could contact him and he'd respond. He was just busy. Sometimes, you can just tell with people who is being genuine. Who wants to simply do a good job for you, without gouging you or ripping you off. We need more of these people in the world right now. I'm glad I listened to my intuition, and waited for the right company to do the job. And I will definitely use them again for future work. It's really nice to have a good contractor in our back pocket.

I contacted this company back in Oct '25 but never heard back - until March of '26. When I asked…read morewhy they were responding 5 months later, their response was 'we were too busy and not interested'. I would have respected 'too busy and unable' much more than 'not interested'. All that tells me is they're now out of work and desperate enough to go through 5 month old requests for quotes ... but too ignorant not to use 'not interested' as part of their reason. They lost me as a future customer and anyone I'd warn against using them.
