When I bought a new pellet stove from him he installed it and came out a couple of times when it was having problems. Neither time was he able to fix the problem in question. The last time which was February 2025 he said he needed to order a part for me and would come out and install it. Have not heard from him since. Numerous texts, phone calls and basically he's ghosting me. It seems that he doesn't want to work on a stove that he sold me. Very disappointing.

I had a leaky bathroom faucet that I knew from previous handypersons that had "fixed" it that it was a gasket inside the faucet. Daniel came and left at least twice to "get the proper parts" or "tools." I explained what the issue was before he arrived. At one point, I walked into the bathroom and saw him on his phone, not fixing anything. He also opened the faucet that I didn't have an issue with, which now leaks. There is a permanent footprint that I still have not been able to get out of the tub and looking over my invoice I paid $60 for a rubber gasket and $285 dollars for a 3 hour job that should have only taken a half an hour max. At the time I was thankful that they came so quickly so I didn't say much but now I am having another issue and decided to check reviews to see if they would be able to do the job, or if my experience was a fluke, but see that others have had the same issue with extended job times, faulty work and missing tools/parts that create the need for larger charges. I think I will have to pass on hiring again. It also made it hard to give this review because they were both friendly but I have to question the professionalism.

Third job was terrible. Moved a couple of smoke alarms in living room, and spackled minor holes--charged $500, spent morning partly chatting and standing around. I could have done it in under two hours, but I am bedridden now. I contested the charge but was told "my dad makes all the decisions, I just do the jobs," and "we have a lot of general expenses" (in 2024). No recourse to ridiculous price.

The estimates were clear, they arrived on time, they were careful to avoid making a mess (and cleaned up completely when they left). For both jobs there was some additional work that was needed that became apparent in the course of the job, and they explained what they'd found and what my options were before proceeding. They're not as cheap as some companies but I appreciated that the quotes were right on-target. Thomas is a fully licensed contractor, and carries full insurance for both liability and worker's comp - important to me as a homeowner. I would definitely recommend Northlands Construction for any job in the Humboldt area.

Update: after several weeks and numerous attempts, Josh has not tied up the loose ends of…read morereassembling my playhouse and moving it back to where it was prior to the job. He did some other sloppy handyman work (see pic of bunk bed he reassembled with missing screws and bolts in the wrong places) but totally avoided completion of putting my things back. Additionally, a heavy wrought iron chair, a kindling wood box and patio table were not restored to their original places on the side porch. As you can see it would be difficult for someone who is legitimately disabled to do. There is also minor unfinished paint spots, on the side. When my 11 year old daughter dragged my salvaged headboard around to the side of the house out of view I texted Josh if he "knew anything about it". In a bizarre twist he interpreted that as an accusation of theft. This guy already claimed he had tools stolen out of the back of his truck while on the job. Feeling bad, I gave him $100 cash for his loss and his workers got $50 gift cards each. Later on he found his missing tools with his worker who he said was actually his cousin. This guy apparently has a history of going off the deep end regarding theft... weird. I wonder what happened to him. Because I had asked about my headboard he decided to "punish" me by ignoring my requests to put the playhouse back. Then it got even weirder. He complained to me how rude I was that I did not share my pot with him. Things got worse with the imagined accusations of theft and not sharing my marijuana with him. Bizarre. At this point after a lot of headache I had to update my review to reflect the problematic issues that I am now facing. I am disabled and a single mom, I paid for the job he won't finish and now I have to file a claim with the court system because I have to hire someone else else to help finish putting everything back he refused to. He called me petty because I told him he was leaving me with no other option but to submit a formal complaint with the contractor's state licensing board. I am very uncomfortable with this man returning to my property. It's intimidating and a very depressing situation. I would steer clear of this guy, he has issues that go way beyond imaginary accusations of theft. 2nd update (later in the day): After reviewing my security cameras Joshua Forman did in fact return to trespass on my property to shove the playhouse against the house so my daughter couldn't open the door and left the slide detached in the dirt. Fortunately, my long time landscaper helped put some things back so I will reconsider the practicality of taking legal action. I will however report his unprofessional and disgusting behavior to the state contractors licensing board. I had to make a police report for his trespassing, what a bully!!!

The process and the results were again fantastic! The initial bid price was reasonable in our assessment and with a comparison. The final price was exactly the initial bid price with no uplifts, change orders or other surprises, despite some adaptations needed. The materials were all top quality. The equipment included scaffolding with some well-done ground-level engineering for level and stable footing on our sloped lot. The preparations included much masking and some disassembly of gutters and downspouts, all of which was done with skill and patience. The painting itself was all beautifully done with proper equipment and skilled technique: siding, windows, doors, gutters/downspouts, decks, deck rail and fencing... Wow, it all just pops it looks so nice, and now with another ten years or more protection from the elements. The crew was professional, courteous, safety-conscious and efficient. All comments, requests and observations that we made were accepted and acted on with no hesitation. Glenn Hamanaka, his manager James and the whole crew were a pleasure to interact with. Working with Hamanaka Painting for this challenging house-painting job was a very positive experience, once again. We are satisfied beyond expectations with the results. Thank you, Glenn and to the whole Hamanaka Painting team!
