HTH Construction, Inc. is a general contracting firm that remodels kitchens and bathrooms, builds custom homes, performs framing and foundation work, and installs patios and decks for residential and commercial clients in San Francisco and Marin County. In addition to its onsite construction capabilities, the company offers planning and project management services that eliminate the need for clients to hire outside designers and planners.

President Howard Hughes grew up in a family of carpenters and started learning the trade at an early age, which allowed him to develop expertise in a variety of building methods that he would ultimately employ with HTH Construction. “I like getting into the bones of a project and seeing exactly how everything works together,” explains Mr. Hughes. “It’s similar to surgery—you have to know what’s going on inside before you work on the outside.”

HTH Construction emphasizes the importance of communicating clearly with its clients througout every step of their projects, from setting up detailed schedules to keeping them updated on any unexpected changes or issues. “Good communication is absolutely vital in constrution,” says Mr. Hughes. “The more we can communicate with each client and include them in the process, the more comfortable and happy they feel.”

Company Philosophy

“We believe in the importance of customer satisfaction and do everything possible to ensure our clients are completely happy with the results of our work. Our goal is to fulfill our clients’ expectations and requirements, provide meaningful and safe professional opportunities for our employees, and further distinguish the construction industry with each project we complete.”
