Our Story
About Hardey Builds: From Master Tile Work to Coastal Homes
Hardey Builds in Huntington Beach is a residential construction and renovation company with over 20 years of experience. We build new homes, add living space and refine the rooms people use most. Our clients are planning a new home or a major renovation. They expect care from the first sketch to the last detail.
The company began small, with hands-on tile work, one floor, one shower and one backsplash at a time. That work taught a lasting lesson: a finished room depends on what happens beneath it, from a flat substrate to a true layout and clean lines where materials meet. Over the years the company grew into full-service home building and remodeling. That early lesson still shapes every project.
Mike Hardey, Master Tile Craftsman Turned Home Builder
Mike started as a master tile craftsman and founded the company in 2005. Tile leaves nowhere to hide a mistake. A wall out of plumb or a floor that dips shows in every grout line, so a tile setter learns to check the framing, the slope and the layout before the first piece is set.
Mike carried that discipline into larger work. On a custom home, a guest house or a whole-home renovation, the same questions come first. Is the structure right, does the layout suit how the household lives, and will the finishes align as planned? As a Huntington Beach builder since 2005, with over 20 years of construction and remodeling experience, Mike brings the same attention to every client conversation, and every surface is finished to an artisan standard.
What We Value
The Standards That Guide Hardey Builds Huntington Beach
Our standards come from the way we have always worked. A home is one of the largest investments a family makes. A new build or renovation touches every part of daily life. Hardey Builds in Huntington Beach holds to a few plain commitments on every residence:
-
Detailed craftsmanship, down to the trim, the tile and the fixtures
-
Clear communication, so you know what is happening and what comes next
-
Full project management, with one team accountable for the whole job
-
Care from planning and design coordination through the final walkthrough
None of these are slogans. They are the habits that keep a project on course, keep surprises small and leave you with a home you are proud of long after the crew has gone.
How We Carry a Project From Planning to Final Walkthrough
We guide each project from the first plan to the final walkthrough. You are never left to manage the trades on your own. It begins with a private consultation and a conversation about what you want the space to do. From there we work through planning, space and layout decisions, and design coordination, so materials and finishes are selected before construction starts.
Next comes the paperwork many owners would rather not carry. We provide permit assistance in Huntington Beach and coordinate inspections as the work moves forward. During construction, our general contracting and project management keeps the schedule, the trades and the materials in step. When the building is complete, we clean the site and walk through the finished work with you, room by room, before we consider the job done.
What We Build for Coastal Orange County Homeowners
Our work spans new construction and renovation, and most of it falls into a few groups. We build custom homes in Huntington Beach designed around the owner's life, with layouts and finishes chosen for how the household actually lives. We build ADUs in Huntington Beach that serve as guest houses, private quarters for family or flexible space for work.
We also take on whole-home remodeling, along with kitchen and bath renovations with considered layouts, quality materials and coordinated finishes. Many clients are drawn to a modern look with California rustic warmth: exposed brick, wood beams and large window bays that bring in the coastal light. You can see the range of our work in our home building and remodeling projects and the full list of construction and remodeling services.
Licensed Work and a Private Consultation to Begin
Hardey Builds operates under California Contractor License #864044. A state license matters on any project that touches structure, plumbing or electrical work, and we encourage every owner to confirm a contractor's license before signing anything. Every project begins with a private consultation, and the first meeting is complimentary, so you can understand the scope before you commit.
A new residence or major renovation is a considered investment, and owners plan for it in different ways. For those who prefer to spread the cost over time, we offer financing through Wisetack for qualified homeowners. Hearing from past clients and learning how permits, cost and timing work makes the decision clearer.

(562) 257-8121When was Hardey Builds founded, and by whom?
Mike Hardey founded Hardey Builds in 2005 in Huntington Beach, California. The company began with hands-on tile work and grew over the years into full-service home building and remodeling. Today it builds custom homes and ADUs and renovates kitchens, baths and whole homes, while keeping the close attention to detail that tile work demands.
Does Hardey Builds still do tile installation?
Yes. Tile is where the company started, and custom tile installation, bathroom tiling and tile backsplash installation are still part of the work we do. That background also shows in larger projects, because a new home or renovation with clean tile lines depends on true framing, a flat substrate and a careful layout planned before the first tile is set.
What is the Hardey Builds contractor license number?
Hardey Builds works under California Contractor License #864044. We encourage every homeowner to check a contractor's license with the state before hiring anyone for a renovation or new build. A valid license shows the contractor is allowed to perform the work, and it is one of the simplest checks you can make before you sign a contract.
How is Hardey Builds different from hiring separate trades?
With Hardey Builds, one team manages the whole project, from planning and design coordination through permits, construction, cleanup and the final walkthrough. Hiring separate trades means you schedule each one, settle disputes between them and track inspections yourself. Full project management keeps the work in order and gives you one point of contact who answers for the result.
