The project included raising some ceilings, a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, plastering and new lighting throughout. > The end result exceeded my expectations – my home feels completely transformed while still honoring its original character. From planning and budgeting through construction, everything was seamless., organized and enjoyable. This was my third home remodel, and without question, it was the best. > Stephanie, the project manager, was a delight – communicative, proactive, and consistently keeping me informed. The entire team clearly takes pride in their work, and it shows in every detail. > The craftsmanship was excellent, and the project was completed on time and on budget. I highly recommend Projects Construction to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, trustworthy and high quality remodeling experience **Comment from Projects General Construction, Inc:** > Yvette, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Daryl on making your new home so warm, inviting and charming. I will make sure to share your kind words with Stephanie and the rest of the team. Thank you for again for allowing us to help you transform your home. We truly hope you enjoy it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Lauren Hudspeth, July 2026** > We bought a house that we thought was turn-key given that it had been recently remodeled. When we realized that renovations would be needed for aesthetics and safety, we sought recommendations from neighbors and friends. Projects GC came up consistently as the best and only choice for us. Because we had no significant experience remodeling a home, we didn't know what to expect or how to go about it. The women of Projects GC were stellar in every regard - communication, timing, expectation-setting, project management, vendor management, quality of the work. Their subs have been partnering with them for years and deliver excellent quality results. We moved out so that the project could move faster and noticed when we visited the site that there was always someone working on the property and the site was left clean every day. We had no issues with permitting and over two years later, we have had no issues with the work that was done. It looks beautiful and is structurally sound. We are absolutely thrilled with the results of our project and would not hesitate to recommend Projects with the utmost confidence. We would definitely use them again for any job - small or large. **★★★★★ — Danny Winokur, May 2025** > Our experience with Christi and her team at Projects was exceptional and I highly recommend working with them for remodel projects of any size. We worked with them on a remodel that we originally thought would be more modest but then grew, as these things often do :), to be most of our 2300+ sq ft house in Santa Barbara. > > Christi was the lead estimator for Giffin & Crane, the premier high-end home builder in Santa Barbara, before spinning out Projects as her own business to do projects smaller than those typically handled by Giffin. Her professionalism and depth of experience in construction management shows. She also deservedly takes pride in being a woman-owned and managed construction company. In fact, all employees but one recent hire are women. It's probably not a coincidence that their communication skills, risk-management, detail-orientation, and professionalism are top notch, more than male-dominated construction teams we've worked with before. > > We found the Projects team to be professional, detail-oriented, and expert in their approach. They work on a fixed-bid/contract, which we also preferred, as it created better budget predictability for all of us. It also makes it possible for Projects to manage the dependencies of a construction schedule with more efficiency and provide a reliable schedule they can stick to. > > The consequence of working this way, which Christi was clear about at the start, is that it requires a lot of up front planning. Materials, fixtures, etc. all need to be selected so that they can be included in the contract. While this felt like a heavy planning load before getting started, it made the course of construction so much easier as most decisions had already been made. We worked with a designer Christi recommended, Katherine Hogarty, who did a great job of helping us with that planning process. > > The project itself was well-managed by their lead project manager, Stephanie, who handled all the day to day work of the many subs they had on the job. Their stable of subs are high-quality, reputable, and do terrific work. They are also responsive to Projects, a testament to the strong relationship they've built, and an invaluable asset in managing through the inevitable uncertainties/issues that arise on any construction project. > > The project largely stuck to the original schedule, with only minor adjustments along the way often due to change orders. Like many owners, we got more ambitious on certain things once the project got going and we got further into some of the details that we just hadn't fully thought through in advance. For example, we decided to upgrade the electrical and lighting to a full Lutron HomeWorks system that significantly expanded the scope of the electrical work. Stephanie and the electricians she had on board from Imperial Crown quickly pivoted in near real-time, even before the change order was created and signed. > > We're thrilled with the final outcome and the quality of their work! **★★★★★ — Michael Garst, April 2025** > Projects General did a complete remodeling of the interior of our house. Additionally the yard, front patio, exterior siding and roof were completely renovated. The results exceeded our expectations. The Projects General crew were fantastic to work with. The recommended a wonderful designer, landscape architect and a landscape crew. The construction subs they used all did great, timely work, often finding additional structural problems which needed correcting. Christi and the project manager, Stephanie Campbell, have continued to help us understand the new facilities in this house. We would certainly want to use Projects General for any future renovations. **★★★★★ — William Young, Jan. 2024** > I cannot say enough about Projects General Contractors. Projects managed a major remodel of my old Farm style House that was built in the early 60’s. The Scope included kitchen, dining room, living room, Master Bedroom and Bath plus new flooring, a full electrical upgrade and addition of HVAC and solar. When decisions had to be made or schedules required adjustment, Projects was communicative and collaborative. Stephanie kept things moving smoothly and did a great job running the Project and ensured that each subcontractor executed to a high level of craftsmanship and workmanship. I would Highly recommend Projects. > > William (Sensitive Information Hidden) **★★★★★ — Rainy Dyer, Oct. 2023** > We cannot speak highly enough of Projects GC. Projects managed a major remodel of our 1930’s California bungalow, including kitchen, bathroom, refinished floors, a full electrical upgrade, and addition of climate control, wonderfully. When decisions had to be made or schedules required adjustment, Projects was communicative and collaborative. We were never left guessing, nor did we feel like important choices were made without our participation. Projects also ensured that each subcontractor executed to a high level of craftsmanship and workmanship. As a result, we feel like we have a new house with modern amenities, yet have successfully preserved the character and charm of our classic home. **★★★★★ — HU-668592058, Oct. 2023** > What a great team! I used Projects to remodel my condo and I highly recommend them. They are truly a pleasure to work with. They are detail-oriented and quickly respond to any questions and concerns. They have a loyal group of subs that work for them, and they ensure that the subs also perform their work in a timely and professional manner. While remodeling can be a stressful undertaking, Projects makes it a smooth and rewarding experience. **★★★★★ — HU-916563586, Oct. 2022** > Projects General Construction is a dream to work with. My parents had worked with Projects on some small and large projects including a gorgeous guest house renovation, so when we bought a home that was a little rough around the edges, we knew exactly who we wanted to work with. Not only did Christi, Sylvia and their team come in and make it brand new again, they stuck to their timelines, quickly worked to resolve issues that came up, and had incredible communication along the way. Every contractor they brought in did impeccable work and was clearly passionate about creating a beautiful end product. We had a Tecate tile floor with a section in need of replacement tiles and Christi warned us right away that it would be impossible to match the new tiles to the old ones. Well guess what? They pulled it off! No one would ever be able to spot the repaired section. Similarly, they built a door to our master bath that had just been an arched doorway. They had a really tight space to work with and did a fabulous job making it look like and function like it had been there all along. Our favorite part of the project was a fireplace makeover and built-in bookcase to turn a bland living room into a gorgeous and cozy space for our family. Christi took our ideas and brought them to life, Sylvia managed our project perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier. Look no further than Projects General Construction! **★★★★★ — betsycoates, Jan. 2022** > My husband and I had the pleasure of having Christi handle a project at our home over the summer and fall of 2021. Christi was organized and detail-minded, ensuring that every facet of our project was done to perfection. All of the talented sub-contractors that Christi hired were highly complimentary about working with her and several told me that she was their favorite contractor to work with because she was timely and organized. Our project was complex but Christi approached it with great expertise and a listening ear for any concerns or questions that we had. She met and exceeded our expectations in every way and we look forward to working with her again. **Comment from Projects General Construction, Inc:** > Thank you, Betsy for your very kind words. > It was such a pleasure working with you and will always look forward to working with you in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-480572465, June 2021** > We worked with Projects on our kitchen, bath, laundry room remodel. Even with a global pandemic, they were able to organize all the various trades to prevent stops or delays in work. I relied on them heavily for many questions, since I knew I could trust their knowledge and experience. I love my new space! **★★★★★ — janiecakes2, March 2021** > Christi Clayton and her company did a refresh of most of my house. From top to bottom they painted (walls and cabinets), laid beautiful wood floors, cleaned furniture and carpets, installed new light fixtures and plumbing. Each morning and at the end of the day Christi communicated with me and gave me a status report. She was very responsive whenever I called. The work of all her craft people were excellent and efficient. I would hire her again and recommend her completely. > Susan Rose **★★★★★ — Sarah Stokes, Feb. 2021** > I waited a long time to dive into a major remodel of my 1920s Bungalow kitchen. It is now my favorite room in the house and I am incredibly grateful that Christi and her Projects GC team were on the journey with me every step of the way! > Stephanie, the project manager was at my home each day and did a masterful job keeping the building phases on schedule and on budget. Even when I was out of the country I could trust Stephanie with the care of all that was going on at the house and to keep me informed with as much detail as I needed. I was also impressed with the team of skilled, talented and respectful subs that Christi and Projects GC has brought together. They all displayed such pride in their craft. > I highly recommend Projects GC. Their professionalism, quality work and attention to detail are reflected in everything they did and resulted in an excellent experience for me...and a fabulous new kitchen. Thank you Projects GC for making my vision a reality! **Comment from Projects General Construction, Inc:** > Thank you, Sarah! > We loved working with you on your Kitchen remodel and hope you continue to love your Kitchen for many more years to come! > We hope to work with you again in the near future! > Christi ## Selected projects - [Mission Canyon - Santa Barbara](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-canyon-santa-barbara-pj-vj~7787033) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 12 - [Golden Gate - Summerland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golden-gate-summerland-pj-vj~7787048) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Montecito Complete Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montecito-complete-home-remodel-pj-vj~6293687) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 15 - [Sunset Drive - Santa Barbara](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-drive-santa-barbara-pj-vj~7542342) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 7 - [Foothill Road - Carpinteria](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/foothill-road-carpinteria-pj-vj~7542357) - Location: Carpinteria, CA - Photos: 5 - [Santa Susana - Santa Barbara](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-susana-santa-barbara-pj-vj~7542356) - Location: Goleta, CA - Photos: 3 - [Toro Canyon Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel - Toro Canyon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/toro-canyon-kitchen-and-bathroom-remodel-toro-canyon-pj-vj~7542291) - Location: Toro Canyon, CA - Photos: 8 - [Oak Grove - Montecito](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-grove-montecito-pj-vj~7542308) - Location: Montecito, CA - Photos: 5 - [Campus Lane - Santa Barbara](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/campus-lane-santa-barbara-pj-vj~7542333) - Location: Goleta, CA - Photos: 4 - [Vista de Lejos - Santa Barbara](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vista-de-lejos-santa-barbara-pj-vj~7594910) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Meadowlark Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadowlark-lane-pj-vj~5496991) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lilac Drive - Montecito](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lilac-drive-montecito-pj-vj~261818) - Location: Montecito, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: This gorgeous Arts & Crafts style home desired several updates, including their carport with new custom garage doors that bi-fold out, a custom wine cellar, new driveway gates, a custom stone fire pit and custom stone Bar-B-Que, and custom jacuzzi with retractable cover.

A: Yes! The color of the lower cabinets is Benjamin Moore \#1594 "Shaker Gray". **Q: What is adjacent to the shower?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that a steam room or dressing room adjacent to the shower secluded by the frosted glass? A: Hello! Thank you for your question regarding this bathroom. The area enclosed with the frosted glass is the toilet room. The frosted glass allowed for privacy while also allowing light into the bathroom since the only window in this bathroom was located inside that area. **Q: What is the driveway made out of? loose rock?** *(in Photo Questions)* or is it aggregate? thanks A: Thank you for your question. The driveway for this project was a gray decomposed granite. **Q: what are these types of doors called?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is there a specific name for the side-folding doors you have? We are thinking about renovating the south wing of our house with a new garage and I think these doors would be a nice addition. It might even be faster to open them sideways instead of waiting for it to rise vertically. http://www.advanceddoorsystems.net/garage-door-installation A: Hello Hazel! This door opens with a gate opener... much like an entry gate that opens before entering a property. **Q: Where did you get the cover for the washer/dryer** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I am sorry I am unable to help you with this question. Our client purchased the cover. **Q: Bathroom- love it** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you still have information on where I might purchase the glass knobs on the vanity A: The glass knobs were purchased by client... however I believe you can find something very similar at Restoration Hardware. They were 1-1/4" diameter. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-14.*
