Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share our experience with Jeff as a professional, as well as my fabulous sister Cheryl. We asked Smith Brothers Construction to manage a property we now call home for about a year while we were still across the country. The thoroughness, consummate skill, and sheer dedication with which Jeff and Cheryl and crew took on a variety of major and minor issues that needed to be addressed in our older home was a beautiful thing to behold. My husband and I are so grateful to have the expertise of Smith Brothers behind us, and we've seen the owners in action with a number of clients and projects over the years. Between the two of them, they know everybody, can figure out how to solve any problem, and know how to create anything one's heart desires with beauty and lasting quality. They have built an incredible network of talented and caring professionals who have been a joy to interact with as we have finally moved and continue to improve the property. I rely on Smith Brothers utterly, with full confidence that in partnership we will achieve great results. The sound, knowledgeable guidance that comes from Smith Brothers' years of high-quality work is priceless to us; as they say, everything else is just construction. You won't regret hiring these folks! And of course you have only the realization of your deepest architectural desires to gain. **★★★★★ — gmotter, Sept. 2013** > We at Greg Motter Painting have had the pleasure of working with Smith Brothers Construction on several jobs. We have found Jeff and his crew to be very professional with great communication between clients as well as subcontractors to get the job done right. We look forward to working with them on future projects. **★★★★★ — ashgstone, Aug. 2013** > Jeff Smith, Harold Stephens and the rest of the team were absolutely wonderful to work with. I would recommend Smith Brothers Construction to anyone who wants to build or remodel a quality, well-contructed home that they can be proud of. **★★★★★ — flouroland, Aug. 2013** > We, Louro & Johnson Landscaping, Inc, have worked with Smith Brothers Construction for over 10 years. They are very professional and provide great service and do quality work. **★★★★★ — Smith Shade, Aug. 2013** > Smith Shade has been subcontracted to do several projects for Smith Brothers Construction over the last few years. It is always a pleasure. They have an office here in Solana Beach and in Oahu, HI. , which we have been lucky enough to work on projects over there for them. They are professional, courteous and have exceptional individuals working for them. We feel privileged to be able to put the window treatments in the beautiful homes they build. We are currently working on a project in Hawaii for them. **★★★★★ — Mission Pools, Aug. 2013** > Mission Pools is a subcontractor that has worked with Jeff Smith and Smith Brothers Construction over the past 20 years. During this period we have been involved in remodels and new construction of custom homes. Projects have ranged from new homes on traditional lots to the special engineered homes on the side of a mountain. Our experience has always been excellent since we share common goals of building each project the best way possible and exceeding our owners' expectation. There are several excellent custom home builders in our area and Smith Brothers Construction is one of them. **★★★★ — mlflaster, Aug. 2013** > I highly recommend Smith Brothers Construction. The quality of their work and attention to detail was strong and they were able to realize a number of complex, customized features. Smith Brothers stood behind their work and I have since used them for additional remodeling projects. I have had the opportunity to visit other Smith Brother's homes in various states of construction over the past decade and was equally impressed with their current portfolio. **★★★★★ — wandachang, Aug. 2013** > I hired Smith Brothers Construction to help with a fairly major renovation of a second home - addition of over 3,000 sq. feet of additional indoor space plus major outdoor hardscape.. They were professional, knowledgeable,provided high quality work and most importantly, a very special group of people who provide their services with a personal touch because they truly care about their clients. This was especially important since we live overseas and relied on Smith Brothers to be diligent and raise issues with us in a timely manner. We are also not experienced in these renovations, didn't hire an independent architect, so it was particularly helpful to be able to trust Jeff and Cheryl Smith as they guided us along our project on a wide range of issues from small to large. They are also very nice and helpful with after-project service and even on matters outside of the contract job. I truly felt that we were being looked after and taken care of like friends or family. Overall, the experience was very pleasant and I highly recommend Smith Brothers Construction. **★★★★★ — Builder's Window Supply, Inc, Aug. 2013** > We have worked with Smith Brothers Construction for the last two decades. > > They are professional, honest a pleasure to work with and we are proud to be associated with their projects. > > Builder's Window Supply, Inc **★★★★★ — dlyonarch, Aug. 2013** > I highly recommend Smith Brothers Construction to help you achieve your dreams for residential remodeling or new construction. I have worked with many excellent builders and Smith Brothers Construction rates my highest recommendation. The SBC team is committed to client satisfaction from the initial contact meeting until your home is happily completed. > > SBC services include excellent communication skills, thorough budgeting throughout the process, and superior craftsmanship. I have seen many happy clients during my association with them. Their goal will be to see you satisfied when you occupy your new home. **★★★★★ — soozdesignideas, Aug. 2013** > We work closely with Smith Brothers Construction selling them custom products for their homes. Smith Brothers Construction is very professional to work with. They are courteous, conscientious, and pay attention to detail. They are known to stay in touch with their clients long after the home is completed. They build quality homes with very impressive designs. I would recommend Smith Brothers to build your home. **★★★★★ — Caroline N, Aug. 2013** > Excellent workmanship, on-time performance, and what service! Jeff still does maintenance and warranty work on our home even though he completed our project years ago. We have built homes in other parts of the country and Jeff is head and shoulders above the other builders we have used. ## Selected projects - [Transitional Beach Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-beach-home-pj-vj~6330201) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 15 - [Santa Barbara Style Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-barbara-style-home-pj-vj~6330206) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Kauai Beach Front](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kauai-beach-front-pj-vj~6330217) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Beach Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-contemporary-pj-vj~390543) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 22 - Description: Beautiful Beach Contemporary home built in Coronado, CA by Smith Brothers.
