At Tellus Design + Build, we understand that the relationship between Client, Designer, and Builder is a long and intimate one. Like with any healthy relationship, we build a foundation of openness, honesty, accountability, and candor with our clients. We never forget that we work for our clients first. We started "Tellus" in 2005 as Orange County's only "Green" construction company. That's what first made us different. Then, as "Green" became more mainstream and sustainable building practices became the norm, we realized that it wasn't just a perfect finished product our clients were looking for, but also an enjoyable experience from start to finish. "Tellus" became "Tellus Design + Build," and focused on improving the build process from design commencement to construction completion. We are ready to contract and manage any and all aspects of your renovation or build. Hiring Tellus means you've decided you want both unparalleled quality, and a Design + Build advocate you can trust to guide you through this difficult process. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Extensions - Basement Remodeling - Garage Building - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - Porch Design & Construction - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Concrete Construction - Wine Cellar Installation - Sustainable Design - Structural Engineering - Earthquake Retrofitting ### Areas Served - Santa Ana - Irvine - Orange - Costa Mesa - Laguna Beach - Newport Coast ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Tellus Build | | Address | 2020 Placentia Avenue, Suite B1, Costa Mesa, California 92627, United States | | Phone | (844) 370-1825 | | Website | http://tellus-build.com | | License Number | 940719 | | Followers on Houzz | 42 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Tellus Build](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/tellus-build-pfvwus-pf~597095874) - **Website:** http://tellus-build.com - **Phone:** (844) 370-1825 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Featured in OC Metro, Discovery Channel, and Los Angeles Times. - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2017), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — Joe Reilly, March 2017** > From the displays of work and examples I was highly impressed with the work of Tellus. They are also very active within the local community with giving back. I went to an event of their's to have a better understanding of the people who work their. They will definitely be a main options for any build **★★★★★ — pie6, Jan. 2017** > We again used Tellus for a home project since they did such a great job with our kitchen, bathrooms, gym and laundry. This time we modernized our master bath and wow did it come out great. We are very pleased with the work they do so anytime we have a new project they will get a call. Thanks Tellus **★★★★★ — Lorinda Mendoza, Dec. 2016** > After hiring one of the Tellus companies for design, we hired the build team as well to construct first an office project and then to work on our home. Each time we've hired them the results have been the same: incredible. Very comforting to have a "go-to" company we trust for construction. **★★★★★ — Floorcraft, Inc., Feb. 2016** > Tellus Design + Build is a top notch company with great designers and excellent contractors. It's been an absolute pleasure providing them with carpet and hardwood flooring for many projects over the years. I would recommend them for anyone looking to do a remodel. **★★★★★ — Denis Spencer, June 2015** > Awesome company, had 'others' which required us to have Tellus come fix their screwups... great company. The stucco guys they sent in fixed, repaired and finished, as well as the plumbers. ## Selected projects - [Clark Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clark-street-pj-vj~1154217) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 6 - [Marbella](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marbella-pj-vj~1154223) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 6 - [Mission House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-house-pj-vj~1154226) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 6 - [Cape Cod](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cape-cod-pj-vj~1154231) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 6 - [Sunset Blvd, Brentwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-blvd-brentwood-pj-vj~1154238) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [12 @ Elden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/12-elden-pj-vj~1154224) - Location: Costa Mesa, CA - Photos: 10 - [Federal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/federal-pj-vj~1624643) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 9 - [Granada Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/granada-hills-pj-vj~1692676) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 9 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/tellus-build-pfvwus-pf~597095874) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
