We grew out of a freelance carpentry & handyman business started in the late 1980's, called The Castle Carpenter.
In 1989 we were licensed under the name Castle Builders.
A brief joint venture resulted in the HP Construction name, which we've retained to this day.
Our new logo, featuring a stylized carpenter's hammer, was introduced in 2007 - at the same time our first website was launched.

N. "Huck" Bahrman has been working with his hands, and building things, for as long as he can remember.
As a youth, he was very involved in building and flying balsa wood model aircraft, both competitively and recreationally. Some were built from kits, and some were built from plans. So at an early age, he learned to bring three dimensional products to life from blueprints and drawings. He learned the value of "measuring twice, cut once", and the structural importance of careful craftsmanship. These were life lessons that he would carry with him for all of his adult life.
After graduating from North Hollywood High School, he was formally trained in graphic art and technical illustration at Ventura College, where he developed qualities of visualization and graphic expression that would later prove invaluable. He developed the patience and attention to detail that is demanded of an artist.
He began his construction career in the late 1970's as a union framer in the Ventura/Oxnard area, and went from framing to construction management when he took a position (in October 1985) as a supervisor for the firm of J.F. DaPra, Inc. of Ventura California.
