**★★★★★ — jkennedy01, April 2015**

> Vernon Sons Construction are truly an extraordinary team of builders. They are fine craftsmen with a keen sense of design and an amazing volume of knowledge of materials, process and building codes and go to great lengths to ensure your project stays on the time line and within the budget. The work they performed for us was not only an engineering marvel, but also beautifully designed and built - down to the smallest of details.
>
> Everyone we worked with listened to what we wanted, our ideas and our budget and within a very short period of time came back with a design, suggested materials, a time line and options for our consideration. There was never any pressure and always a positive attitude about how to make our dream happen for us. Their expertise was evident at every stage of the project. Even the subcontractors they work with exhibited the same level of professionalism.
>
> I would absolutely hire Vernon Sons Construction for any home remodeling or new building construction; their absolute laser-focused attention to detail is immediately evident in the quality and craftsmanship of their work. No surprises with this company other than the incredible stellar work they perform and stunning design.

**★★★★★ — coyote808, Jan. 2015**

> We lost our Santa Barbara house in the Tea Fire - Nov. 2008.  Our rebuild design was unusual and required construction techniques that were non-standard.   Framing in particular was complicated by non-square walls and unequal stud lengths - everywhere.   We were also on a tight budget.
> The Vernon Sons team tackled this and many other design complexities with ease.   They have decades of experience in the construction trades and work with sub contractors that are both equally experienced and reasonably priced - a rare combination in Santa Barbara.  Subs were also very responsive to our input and requests.
> Because of our somewhat unusual design, there were inevitable "problem solving"  moments during the project.   This is where the long experience of the Vernon Sons team paid dividends.   In all cases, they were able to come up with creative solutions that were cost effective and based on sound construction practice.   There were also minor design adjustments along the way.   Vernon and Sons team absorbed these changes quickly and at reasonable cost.
> Our project was completed on time and on budget.   We remain good friends (a worthy testament) and would recommend Vernon Sons Construction highly to anyone.

**★★★★★ — bpmccabe, Jan. 2015**

> My wife and I worked with Vernon and Sons for three remodeling projects on our homes.  They are professional, honest, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with.  Each project was a total collaboration of our needs, dreams, and ideas with the ability of Vernon and Sons to bring those dreams to reality with their expertise and creativity.  We wouldn't trust anyone else to work with us building or improving our homes.

**★★★★★ — teddyscooter1, Jan. 2015**

> My wife has a very artistic eye and a definite idea of the end result she wishes to achieve.  But she hasn't a clue how to get there.  Ryan Vernon was kind, patient, helpful and extremely practical in coaching her through the entire construction process.  As a result, we ended up with a "jewel" that we never could have achieved without Ryan.  I would (and have) recommend him in an instant!

**Q: Art** *(in Photo Questions)*

WHERE did you get the artwork above the door? Thanks

A: Hi gailw176, the artwork was all provided by the homeowner. Sorry I don't have any additional information on this piece.

**Q: Art** *(in Photo Questions)*

WHERE can I get the artwork above the door? Thanks

A: Hi gailw176, the art was supplied by the owner and I have no details on it, sorry.

**Q: Granite?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please tell me what the granite is? Thanks!

A: Sorry, I don't recall the name of the granite used on this job. It looks close to a Juparana Persia but I am unable to confirm.

**Q: What color is the exterior of the house in the photo?** *(in Photo Questions)*

The exterior is beautiful.  What paint colors were used, including the color of the trim?

A: Thanks, eatmon7488.
The exterior is all integral color stucco with a smooth finish, not sure exactly which La Habra color was selected. The trellis is bronze to match the windows and the fascia trim metal and standing seam roof is Old Towne Gray by Custom-Bilt Metals as I recall.

**Q: What are the walkway slabs?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful walkway.  Is it concrete? Poured in place? some kind of stone? Everything about this picture is perfect.

A: Thanks alicia2789. The walksways are stamped concrete colored to match native Santa Barbara sandstone. They are also seeded with native sand while stamping to provide a more authentic textured finish.
