In a town defined by hospitality-grade quality, your home deserves the same standard. Howard Construction brings finish-level craftsmanship and quiet, respectful jobsites to Yountville properties.
Yountville may be barely a square mile, but it holds some of the most carefully maintained properties in Napa Valley — and homeowners here notice details. Reveal lines, cabinet alignment, stone book-matching, the way a pergola shadow falls across a patio at five in the afternoon. That's the level we build to, because in Yountville anything less looks out of place next to what's down the street.
We also understand what it means to run a jobsite in a town built on hospitality. Quiet hours matter. Clean streets matter. Parking that doesn't clog Washington Street matters. Our crews stage tightly, protect landscaping, and leave the site presentable every single evening — habits Phil has enforced for twenty-five years, not policies invented for a brochure.
Whether it's a full interior remodel of a Yountville cottage, a guest house for visiting family, or an outdoor kitchen built for entertaining, you get one accountable point of contact: Philip Howard, on your site, personally.
Yountville's compact footprint and design expectations shape every project. Here's what we bring to the table.
In-town projects run through the Town of Yountville's Planning & Building Department, which is small, personal, and detail-oriented — exactly the kind of counter where prepared, complete submittals move fast and sloppy ones stall. Surrounding vineyard parcels fall under Napa County PBES.
Exterior changes in Yountville draw more scrutiny than in larger cities. We design additions and outdoor structures to complement the town's scale and character, which keeps approvals smooth and neighbors friendly.
With family and friends visiting wine country year-round, detached guest units are one of the most-requested projects here. State ADU law applies in Yountville just as it does everywhere in California — we handle feasibility through final inspection.
Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations built around your daily life — including phased work while you live in the home.
Primary suites, second stories, great rooms, and in-law wings engineered to match the existing structure seamlessly.
Detached ADUs, garage conversions, and junior ADUs handled end-to-end: feasibility, plans, permits, and build.
Outdoor kitchens, covered rooms, pool decks, and entertaining spaces built for wine-country indoor-outdoor living.
Engineered decks, pergolas, and shade structures — including ignition-resistant assemblies for WUI parcels.
Detached garages, shops, barns, and carriage houses with finished living space above.

Both. A precise bathroom or kitchen remodel in a Yountville cottage gets the same attention as an estate project — small square footage with high finish standards is honestly some of our favorite work.
Tight staging plans, daily site cleanup, respectful working hours, and crews who understand they're working in a hospitality town. Phil walks the site regularly and holds every sub to the same standard.
In most cases yes. California ADU law applies statewide, and we'll verify Yountville's specific setback, height, and utility requirements at a free feasibility visit before you spend anything on plans.
Constantly, and happily. Many Yountville projects arrive with an architect or interior designer already attached — we slot into that team, price the drawings honestly, and flag constructability issues early, before they become expensive.
Philip Howard personally reviews every inquiry and walks every site. One call gets you a straight answer on feasibility, timeline, and budget — no pressure, no runaround.
