Harding Custom Builders are truly the best. We’ve worked with many contractors in Nevada County over the years, and unfortunately, we’ve encountered our fair share of disappointments—some overcharged us or added mysterious fees to invoices, others made us question how they even had a license, and a few simply vanished midway through a job. So when it came time to remodel our 3,200-square-foot home, we were understandably nervous about hiring another contractor.

Given our past experiences, we came into the project very cautious—scrutinizing every step, every cost, and likely being more than a little overbearing at times. But from day one, Pat Harding, the owner of Harding Custom Builders, put us at ease. He’s genuinely one of the kindest, most patient people we’ve ever met. His professionalism, transparency, and pride in his work quickly proved that we had made the right choice.

On a remodel this large, unexpected issues are inevitable, but Pat and his team were always proactive—listening to our concerns, addressing issues with care, and handling every adjustment with fairness and integrity. The way they managed billing, especially when changes needed to be made, was more than fair and always transparent.

Every member of Pat’s team was exceptional, clearly sharing his dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. They took our home—which had been left in rough shape by former tenants—and transformed it into something truly beautiful!
