Founder and Managers

George Owren, pictured here with his wife Gail started Humboldt Countertops over 35 years ago. Originally a countertop store and a hardware store, known as “Humboldt Hardware”, over time Humboldt Countertops & Surfacing has grown and accommodated the needs of the North Coast. Today HCS specializes in custom countertops for both residential and commercial jobs and now owned & operated by George’s daughters Kelley Montana and Kari Chalmers.

Kelley and Kari both grew up around the countertop business with their father over the years and enjoy running the business together today. George stops in every once in a while for a chat or to help solve a complicated job. Stop in and see us! We’d love to learn about your project and meet you.
