hi, i am angel castro, the man behind ghb
I have been in the construction industry for over 30 years and have worked on custom homes throughout the Bay Area. Most recently, my projects have taken me from Menlo Park/Atherton to Marin & Sonoma counties. I run a small, dedicated construction crew – we pride ourselves on our craftsmanship, reliability, and hard work. I’m a hands-on builder—on site every single day from early morning untilevening—making sure every detail is done right. I treat every project as if it were my own cherished home.
Skilled carpentry is where my passion lies. I love the challenge of building something solid, beautiful, and functional—especially when a tricky problem needs a creative solution. Whether it’s framing, finish work, or complex custom builds, I bring precision and care to every aspect of the job.
Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with trusted vendors across the Bay Area—from flooring specialists to top-tier window and door suppliers. These connections are a significant asset to my clients,
enabling us to deliver high-quality materials, reliable timelines, and lasting results.
If you’re looking for a reliable contractor who gets the job done and takes pride in the process, I am your
guy. Please feel free to connect if you would like to discuss your upcoming home project.
