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.

We couldn't be happier with Josh's work and work ethic. He is a perfectionist and very conscientious. He makes the best use of his time, and when he arrives he really cranks out the work. We highly recommend Josh for any type of construction project that you have. He is a real find!

Beyond the quality of the work itself, Steve brought real expertise to the project. With years of contracting experience in Humboldt County, he offered practical pointers on how to improve the area that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. The finished result dramatically improved both the look and the functionality of the greenhouse. And for the value? Hard to beat. I'd hire him again without hesitation.

We cannot say enough good things about A & G Concrete. They are based out of Fortuna, and we hired…read morethem for multiple major projects at our home in Eureka, CA, and every single experience has been exceptional. Over time, A & G Concrete installed a new concrete driveway and patio, repaired serious backyard drainage issues, reinforced our garage and pier/post foundation, and installed a beautiful cedar fence with a solar gate around our entire side yard. On top of that, they designed and completely replaced our kitchen, using redwood materials salvaged from earlier work they had done when replacing our garage's redwood floor with concrete. The creativity and skill involved in reusing those materials was impressive and speaks volumes about their craftsmanship. We originally chose A & G Concrete because of their creativity, fair pricing, integrity, and how easy they were to work with--and they exceeded expectations in every category. Communication was excellent every step of the way. We always knew what was happening, when it would happen, and why decisions were being made. They were punctual, professional, and respectful of our home throughout each project. What truly sets them apart is how much they care. Their pricing was extremely fair and reasonable, and they bent over backwards to accommodate our budget while still delivering high quality, long lasting solutions. They consistently worked with us to find creative options that fit our constraints without cutting corners. The quality of workmanship is outstanding. Every detail was handled with care, and it's clear they take pride in what they do. Steve and Jason, the owners, are top notch, and their entire crew was professional and skilled (Stephen in particular was fantastic--highly knowledgeable, detail oriented, and great to work with). Honestly, A & G Concrete became part of the family. It's rare to find a contractor you can fully trust--not just with the work, but with the pricing and the process. We always felt confident knowing they had our best interests in mind. If you're looking for a contractor who is skilled, creative, honest, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, stop looking and call A & G Concrete. We recommend them without hesitation and will absolutely use them again and again whenever we need something done.

It was so easy to work with Ryan. We'd express our ideas and he'd figure out a way to make our dream a reality.
