Serving all of Flagstaff and Surrounding Areas

Barden Builders was formed by Aaron Richards in January of 2006. Born to a skilled carpenter and craftsman Harry Richards, Aaron aspired to be a carpenter since the first time he set foot on one of his fathers job sites at the age of 3.

Aaron began working in the residential construction trades in 2000 out of high school while attending college for a degree in construction management. After college, Aaron worked for local construction companies as a framer, leadman, and eventually supervisor before starting Barden Home Builders in 2006. He has also spent 2 years in a hands-on apprenticeship program with San Juan Constructors.

Your Local Remodeling Company

The name Barden comes from a long family history on the east coast. Aarons great-great-grandfather founded Bardens Boat Yard in 1927 and the business continues to operate to this day. Jane MacDonald, grand daughter of boat yard founder Fred Barden, has always supported Aarons aspirations and eventually helped him form Barden Home Builders. In fact, if you look closely at our logo, you will see a sailboat shaped out of construction tools. A nod to Aaron’s family history and summers spent sailing with his grandmother.

Since then, with the advice of his mentors, he has continued to grow and expand Barden Home Builders into a well established, small construction company. With hundreds of projects completed over the last few years, ranging in size from small custom shelving to major home additions, Barden Home Builders is capable of completing any residential construction project on time and beyond your expectations. These days however, we specialize in remodel projects!
