One Contractor for All of Wine Country
Howard Construction serves Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, and the greater North Bay from our Santa Rosa headquarters — roughly 100 square miles of wine country where we know the permit counters, the fire codes, the soil, and the subcontractors by name. Since 2000.
Why Local Depth Beats a Wide Net
Anyone can list towns on a website. What actually matters is whether your contractor knows that a hillside parcel above St. Helena triggers Chapter 7A ignition-resistance requirements, that pre-1970s Napa homes routinely need cripple-wall bracing exposed by the 2014 earthquake, that Yountville’s permit counter rewards complete submittals, and that a concrete pour on Howell Mountain has to be scheduled around PG&E shutoff season. That knowledge is the difference between a project that flows and one that stalls at corrections.
