Hargens Inc. is a multi-trade contractor company. We started in August of 1982 as a C33 painting contractor and then went on to obtain a B general construction classification, a C43 sheet metal classification and finally a C20 heating, air conditioning and ventilation classification. In these trades we have our own highly-qualified technicians performing the work, which means we have full ownership of the results from beginning to end. This has been a great value to our ever expanding customer base in the San Francisco Bay Area. Contact us today to get more information on how we can help you with the work you'd like to get done.

Our general contracting services designed to serve you fully:

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Our emergency services include 7-days a week, around-the-clock board-up or cover-up from damage caused by fire, wind, motor vehicle impact to dwellings, and flooding. We will also secure a building and can temporarily shore it up for safe entrance and exit. We have been the contractor of choice for many leading insurance companies and property management firms. You can trust our 29 years of experience in this area.

FIRE, WATER AND VEHICLE DAMAGE RESTORATION SERVICES

Our services include restoring of your property to the condition it was in prior to the loss. We can repair exterior walls from motor vehicle impact or fallen trees; rebuild a kitchen from a cooktop fire; and, even in numerous cases, rebuild an entire home due to a major disaster.

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING INSTALLATION AND SERVICE

We are a C20 HVAC contractor that will design and install new standard or upgraded highly efficient heat and air-conditioning systems. Whether your new unit needs to go in to a wall, utility closet, garage or attic space, we will ensure it is installed up to safe current building codes, and done accurately and professionally. There are several options of 80%-95% efficient furnaces combined with or without HEPA filtration. Our ducting is run with little to no air loss as all joints are mechanically fastened and then taped. We are air management specialists, and we use only the best equipment from Carrier, Payne, Trane, Coleman and Frasier Johnson. 

GUTTER INSTALLATION, REPAIR AND CLEANING AND SHEET METAL

Hargens Inc. has installed, replaced, repaired, and cleaned many thousands of feet of gutters and downspouts on thousands of homes, apartments, condominiums, churches, commercial and industrial buildings. We install standard seamless prepainted aluminum, prepainted steel or custom galvanized and copper gutters specifically designed to your application. Our sheet metal service also includes custom fabrication of chimney decks, chimney pans, roof flashings, parapet wall capping, patio door flashing, skylights, planter boxes, architectural sheet metal, ornamental leader heads and custom ducting for furnaces.

PAINTING (INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR)

In the 27 years we have been in business we have performed almost every type of painting that can be done. From application of the appropriate sealers and primers to the finishing of oil-based surfaces and/or latex, acrylics, stains (semi, opaque and soild), lacquers, varnishes, in all the available sheens, from flat, matte, eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss to high gloss. Preparation is the first step toward a lasting finish. Therefore, to get a great-looking finish coat and the beautiful, long-lasting results you expect, we properly prepare and apply primer/sealer to the surfaces we plan to paint. This approach creates wonderful results. We are also able to match colors and stains.

PLUMBING

Our plumbing service includes the smallest repairs such as changing a faucet or replacing supply lines to a clothes washer to the largest re-piping of residential homes.  With our C36 license classification we are able to perform 100% plumbing only jobs. So, don’t hesitate to contact us for any plumbing need you may have. Of course, as a general contractor, we can also integrate plumbing work in to a larger project such as a bathroom remodel or emergency restoration.

The advantage of using a plumber who is also a general contractor is that larger jobs often require the services of other skilled tradesmen to get the entire job done. We have such people on our staff, which means you don’t need to contract with another firm. This will get your job done faster, for less and have better quality control.

INSURANCE REPAIRS  (View More Details)

We have always been in the insurance repair industry. We repair commercial and residential buildings from water damage, fire damage, smoke/soot/odor damage and motor vehicle impact damage.  We will work directly with your insurance carrier to provide an accurate scope of repairs and a fair competitive estimate. We are on several "Direct Repair" insurance carrier repair programs. Be assured that when you have us on the job, no work is started without the complete understanding and approval of the insurance company.

5-POINT HOME SAFETY INSPECTION

With our 5-Point Home Safety Inspection you can rest assured that we’ll be looking at the areas where you may be unwittingly exposed to real danger. Firstly, we’ll ensure you’re in compliance with the law requiring that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors be present.

Next, we’ll inspect your gas furnace and water heater to confirm their exhaust flues are in good shape, sloped correctly and not leaking. Your furnace filter will also be checked. (These appliances must be readily accessible.) Lastly, we’ll check to see that you have proper fire extinguishers in the right places. This services is priced right at $49.95 (additional parts and labor, if necessary, are not included).

Here Are a Few Testimonials From Satisfied Customers:

Dear Mr. Hargens,

Cliff and I want to thank you and your company for the wonderful job you did in restoring
our townhouse after the fire.  You told me not to worry about a thing for you would take care of everything and you did.  You met with numerous inspectors, adjusters and insurance representatives.  Your knowledge in dealing with all other agencies involved with fire damage gave us confidence and made our lives easier during a stressful time.

Pompeu, the project manager, was a pleasure to work with and answered all my phone 
calls no matter what time of day it was.  Your crew was trustworthy, friendly and had a 
wonderful attitude even when I changed my mind about different requests.  The end 
results were that when we moved back in, it was like being in a new home!

We will recommend your company whenever we get the opportunity.

Thank you again,
