General Contractor in Point Arena, California

Point Arena is home. Riboli & Son's has been working out of this town since 1985, and Joe Riboli has spent his career on the same few miles of coast — the Victorian-era cottages up Main Street, the bluff-top houses out toward the lighthouse, the cabins tucked into the redwoods along Riverside Drive, and the working buildings down at Arena Cove.

That means we know the housing stock building by building. We know which 1920s homes have redwood shiplap under the plaster, which hillsides above the Garcia River hold water in the winter, and how quickly salt air off the point eats hardware, fasteners and paint that were not chosen for this environment.

As California's smallest incorporated city, Point Arena has its own permitting rhythm, and Mendocino County and the Coastal Commission both have a say on many bluff and view-corridor projects. We have been through it many times and can tell you up front whether a project is straightforward or whether it needs a longer runway.
