Ethics Over Competition
Roger Brown, Sr. has always appreciated the cooperative spirit of Northern California. Unlike the cutthroat competition found in larger cities, rural contractors often work together to overcome the challenges of building in remote and rugged terrain.

A Business Built on Trust & ReputationR. Brown Construction’s reputation extends beyond Willow Creek. The company was a finalist for “Contractor of the Year” in Equipment World Magazine and has been featured in numerous local publications. Industry professionals consistently praise the company’s reliability:

“If I could work with Roger Brown every day of the week, I would. He’s always spot on with his schedule. When you need a hand, he’s willing to give a hand.” – Matt Marriott, Apex Fence
“Most people, if they bid a job lower than Roger, recheck their numbers. He’s known for being thorough and competitive.” – Rick Reinhard, Whitson Incorporated

Wildfire Response & Recovery
With Northern California’s increasing wildfire risks, R. Brown Construction plays a vital role in fire response and recovery efforts. Their team provides emergency support with water trucks, bulldozers, and low beds during active fires, and they assist with post-fire restoration, including building firebreaks and replanting vegetation. Their skilled operators tackle the toughest terrains, ensuring the safety and resilience of the region.

Rooted in Willow Creek
Roger’s journey to Willow Creek began on the coast in Arcata, where he grew up before moving to Redding for college. After working in his father-in-law’s construction company, he took a leap of faith, started his own business, and never looked back. The Browns stay in Willow Creek for the lifestyle and strong community bonds—hunting, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with family.
