Zumbrun Construction is a unique construction company that has been building in Humboldt County for over 30 years.  While we specialize in Timber-framing, we also offer a wide array of services in the construction field.

Whether your project is a complete "Design through completion" art project, a few Timber-frame details, a conventional remodel, or simply consulting on a design choice or a technical decision you are having trouble with, we'd like to be involved.

As the owner of Zumbrun Construction, I have a hands on presence on all my projects.  I am passionate about building and am committed to maintaining the highest standard of craftsmanship.

Zumbrun Construction is located in Arcata, CA and operated by Rick Zumbrun. 

As owner, I have a "Hands on" presence on all projects.  Z-Co's most unique attribute is our creative "Whole Project" approach to building.  In addition to our conventional projects, we enjoy creative and unique projects where our problem solving skills and our very diverse training and experience can be put to use.

Over the years I have been very fortunate to work with an exceptionally talented pool of hardworking craftspeople and sub-contractors.  My companies workforce varies with the size and type of project we are working on.  I am comfortable with large projects which require a large crew and multiple sub-contractors, projects where I work as an independent crafts-person, as a consultant directing owner builders, or as the leader of community volunteer workforces.

I am very thankful for the diverse training and experience i have been exposed to during my career:

  • I am a proud member of the Timber Framers Guild and have participated in 20 plus years of educational workshops, conferences, and community service projects.
  • I have participated in two intensive Timber Frame workshops, led by Ted Benson and Charles Landau and Terry Turney.
  • Fine Woodworking training with James Krenov.
  • B.A. degree from Humboldt State University in Industrial Technology w/a dual emphasis in metal and wood.
  • Work experience in conventional production framing techniques on residential projects with an elite framing company in Girdwood, Alaska.
  • Self employed experience operating and maintaining heavy equipment.
  • Work experience with the Forest Service on a timber crew cruising logging sales in Orleans,CA.
  • I hold a CA logging license and have experience with small logging projects.
  • Self employed experience in metal fabrication/welding.
  • Several years experience working in Automotive repair.
  • Work experience with Rex Hutchison's racing machine shop.
  • And too many more experiences to list....

In summary, Zumbrun Construction is a craftsmanship based company that can handle projects with a wide range of size,scope, and complexity.
