Projects General Construction, Inc

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

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!

We had a very good experience with Projects as our contractor for a kitchen and master bath remodel. We enjoyed working with all the Projects staff, especially our project manager Stephanie. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality work produced a beautiful result. Their response time to any issues that arose was excellent and they managed to keep us very close to original schedule, even with several changes that we instigated along the way. We would highly recommend them. Kent and Brier Allebrand

It was a pleasure working with, Christi, Projects GC owner, and Stephanie, our project manager, on our 1932 Spanish colonial remodel. We are thrilled with the renovations and our updated home. What stood out about working with the Projects GC team was their excellent communication skills, quality of work and strong finish. Stephanie and Christi were either available or immediately responsive any time we reached out with questions or concerns. When we had surprises or challenging decisions mid project, they took great care in assessing and recommending solutions. Their attention to detail with the project and our home was evident from day one until the last punch list item was completed. When the project was winding up they stayed attentive to make sure we were happy and left us with a binder that included detailed information regarding all the work done, subs, etc. Very thorough and professional. We are loving our home and highly recommend Projects GC.

I hired Projects General Construction on Aug. 15, 2019 to do a kitchen remodel in my guest house. Within days Stephanie, project manager, had the sub-contractors meet at the guest house to review details of the job. The subs were efficient, professional and did quality work. Stephanie and Christi are honest, capable and extremely helpful. I highly recommend them.

I had saved a marketing card from Projects General Construction, Inc.back in 2008! Finally called for a kitchen cosmetic remodel in April 2019 and happily it is all finished. Couldn’t be happier. Stephanie was our project manager and she was here a couple times every day, her timeline was met to the day, and there were never days where nobody showed up. Subs were all great and Christi was a pleasure to deal with from the start. You will not regret calling on Projects for a stress free job of high quality and timely completion. I can’t wait to work with them again when we tackle our master bath....truly a stellar experience and result.

Christi and her team at Projects did a great job on my home remodel project! I'm especially happy with the kitchen update. Here's before and after photos. I was impressed with the careful attention to detail in both planning and execution for the whole project. There was a high level of professionalism in both the Projects people and the sub-contractors they work with. I would certainly recommend them.

I connected with contractor Christi Clayton and Projects General Construction through Houzz and I'm so glad I hired Christi. I'm a veteran of several new build and remodeling projects and this was my most fun project of all. The project was a down-to-the-studs remodel of a 5'x8.5' bathroom, new flooring in most of the house and painting in a bedroom and a hallway. Before Christi bid the project she gave me an opportunity to talk with many of the subs, all of whom made excellent suggestions that improved my initial design. Carlisle was an excellent superintendent during construction. She scheduled the subs so that they arrived just as they were needed, which kept the project on time and really short overall. She kept me informed and was immediately on top of all of the surprises that showed up during the project. Christi and Carlisle were a pleasure to work with. When I'm ready to remodel the kitchen I won't hesitate to hire Projects General Construction.

Christi Clayton & Projects General Construction just completed a living room remodel job at our residence. Christi was totally on top of all the details every step of the way and we are very happy with the results. I would definitely recommend them to others.

My husband and I are extremely happy with our recent guest house remodel by Projects General Construction, Inc. From start to finish, Christi Clayton and her team were professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful and so easy to work with. They were (and continue to be) responsive to our every need and concern. We were so appreciative of her attention to every detail which surpassed even our own. Christi clearly has a passion for her job. Her enthusiasm and energy are amazing and contagious. We absolutely love our new guest house and cannot thank Christi and all involved enough for creating this beautiful space for our family and friends.

Well we loved our experience with Projects General Construction! We had a large remodel in Santa Barbara. Projects helped us find a designer we loved, helped us get plans approved from the city, and they got started quickly and wasted no time from start to finish. They have great subs who seem to be ready to go whenever Projects calls for them. The work was high quality and the workers were very professional. Communication and integrity are apparently natural for them. Our property gave us a several hidden surprises. We completely trusted Projects’ advice and they were able to adapt the schedule to deal with these issues. In short, we are very happy with Projects, would hire them again, and highly recommend them!

Although I never review experiences or services, I am happy to make an exception in this case by offering an unqualified recommendation of Projects to those seeking to upgrade and renovate their properties. During the past five years, Projects has remodeled my kitchen and all of my bathrooms in three phases, as well as making other alterations to windows and doors. As the homeowner of a 40 year house, who stayed in residence during these renovations, the disruptions of demolition and construction were mitigated by the superb organization of the Projects staff, their choice of top quality subcontractors and their great eye for details. All of these projects had construction schedules of at least eight weeks each, which were continually updated. All renovations were completed on schedule. There were no unanticipated surprises. The results have been transformative, with each of these rooms now being a pleasure to occupy and use. I will not hesitate in employing Projects for any future work on my property.

Projects GC owner Christi and our project manager Stephanie could not have been better. They were completely professional and at the same time personally empathetic. They were both efficient and patient with details - better than patient, they cared about the details. Communication was excellent. A couple of small things needed fixing and they took care of them without hesitation. I would definitely go to Projects GC again with another construction need.

We are over the moon thrilled with our updated bathrooms. This is the 3rd time we have called on Christy at Projects GC and once again, we are so very glad we did. This is a contractor who communicates with you daily and manages top rated subcontractors to get the job - big or small - done to your complete satisfaction, offering great quality at every stage and getting it done on time and on budget!!! Worth every single penny!! (Don't believe the prices on HGTV, folks!) We would definitely call on her again.

We collaborated with Christi and the Projects team on an exterior commercial renovation this last year with incredible results. They were extremely responsive, organized, and delivered a project that met every expectation. We look forward to working with them again! Ryan Mills, DMHA Archtitecture

We hired Christi and her team to give our exterior an update. The remodel included replacement of 50 windows,painting, installation of composite wood as a design feature and a few other smaller projects. Prior to the start of the project, we had several meetings to identify the scope of the project. Once we were in agreement on budget and timeline the work began. Christi was on site daily to manage all the sub contractors to make sure the work was done in a professional and timely manner. She kept me updated on the project's progress frequently and called with questions as necessary. I appreciated the open communication. She was always available for my questions and concerns. Best of all the project was finished before the deadline and on budget. The project was time sensitive as we had the house empty for 2 months and needed to move tenants back in. We did have a few change orders but Christi pointed these out as a possibility before the work began. I appreciated knowing what to expect and had no surprises. I have no hesitation in recommending Projects General Construction, Inc.

I have been a facility director for ten years and have been part of remodeling jobs (big and small) since then. This project with Projects General Construction Inc. has easily been the most pleasant. Christi Clayton was always available and is an excellent communicator with both her clients as well as with the people performing the work. To me, that is probably the most important part of a big construction project. Christi organizes well, she listens, she communicates, and she is always looking for feedback. We had a really pressing deadline and Christi even finished early, and I have never had that happen. She is very attentive to the little details that finish a project and just did a fantastic job. We will definitely be using PGC Inc the next time we upgrade or remodel in the house/facility.

meticulous planning with lots of feedback from the customer reliable and timely schedule good choices of and relations with subcontractors very friendly AND professional relationship with customer

Projects GC remodeled our kitchen, ceiling to floor and down to the studs of the walls.. They are the most knowledgeable and professional people I have ever worked with. Start to finish, they managed every detail each step of the way. Their subs were terrific and did perfect work. Christi and her team were one step ahead of the project every inch of the way. They anticipated any problems that could have arisen, had solutions to every zig and zag and made the entire 11 week project a delight. They finished on budget, early, and when they left, the entire kitchen and surrounding areas were spotlessly clean. We are thrilled with our gorgeous new kitchen and cannot say enough good things about them.

Projects General Construction were the general contractors for a complete re-do of my 1970’s master bathroom. They were a pleasure to work with and I am very happy with the results. They were involved at every stage of the project from early design consultations through final sign off. The job was completed on time, within budget and with minimal impact on our lives. Project’s principals provided extensive oversight of my remodel. My job boss (Cherilyn) was there every morning to meet with that day’s subs, discuss the work needed and consult with me. When appropriate, she stayed on site stay to provide direction. At the end of the day, she reviewed the day’s progress, made sure the site was secured, and discussed the next day’s activities with me. On any remodel, there will be discoveries, unanticipated problems, and minor shifts in scheduling and direction (and mine was no exception). These were identified, discussed with me and resolved in a timely and efficient manner. Projects has an outstanding team of subcontractors. Each sub had years of professional experience which was evident in the quality of their work. All were a pleasure to deal with. I can highly recommend this professional company and would not hesitate to use them again.

I want to commend and recommend “Projects by Giffin & Crane” who have just completed – within the anticipated two and a half to 3 week time period – a plan created by architect Dennis Thompson of Thompson Naylor Architects to remodel the entry hall of our home. The entry area was level with the hallway to our bedroom/office wing, but led down steps to our living room and up a step to our dining area/kitchen wing. The living room wall immediately seen from the entry was all windows displaying a wide view of the mountains, a scene which tended to distract guests from the changes in floor level. The hazard had been recognized by previous owners, but the complexity of eliminating the danger while maintaining the charm of the view was delayed until our own falls required consulting with professionals. The project necessitated changes in our living room floor so we included removing and replacing a large, unattractive fireplace during the same time period. The courtesy, consideration and reliability of both our contractors and the subcontractors they had chosen allowed us to remain in our home, adjusting to change of entrances, from the beginning to the completion of the project. At the beginning of every workday, at any point when changes were needed, and at the end of each day, at least one of the contractors was at our front door, to open up the area and consult with the subs. They were also readily available if we needed to communicate with them by phone , and they consulted with Dennis Thompson whenever it appeared adjustments needed to be made. We are delighted with the results, the timely completion of the work and the handling of changes in plans as the work progressed. The estimate of costs was reliable, along with the cost of the few changes which we requested or authorized. I am encountering many friends of our age with similar issues in their homes. I will continue to recommend architect Dennis Thompson and contractors Christi Clayton and Cherilyn Milton of Projects to help make critical adjustments when these people want to remain in the homes they love.

We are very happy with Projects President Christi Clayton, her team, and their work remodeling the first floor of our home and we have enthusiastically referred our friends to her for similar work. She provided accurate estimates as to cost and time to complete (with exceptions for events that could not be predicted), and she is honest and fair. When unpredictable challenges popped up, Christi and her team came up with practical solutions that kept us happy and the project on track. She responded to our phone calls and texts promptly, often within minutes -- even on week-ends. Christi clearly loves her work. Her high level of energy and commitment to our being happy with the final product made our remodel a great success.

Projects completed a fairly extensive remodeling of my house last year which included two bathrooms, a kitchen, some flooring and extensive lighting and electrical work. I would rate the quality of their work a 9 out of 10. I would rate their responsiveness and support a 9.5 out of 10. I would have no hesitation recommending them or acting as reference. The project manager that worked on my home was Christi. She was very easy to work with. She was friendly, helpful, generally responsive and professional. She also seemed to know the construction business well and I had confidence in her judgment and advice. We generally talked 2-3 times a day or communicated by text or e-mail. She was usually very prompt with her replies and I always had confidence that she was on top of things. I am very detailed oriented and tend to over-communicate on things but she was OK with that and always got back to me with detailed answers. I have had a couple of items that needed to be fixed after the job was finished and these items have been taken care of, although maybe not as quickly I was would have liked.

"Projects" was hired as a General Contractor to replace a parking pad and perform chimney repair. They hired sub-contractors to do the work and supervised their efforts. Technical knowledge was needed for this job, but as events unfolded on this job, the person-to-person dealing and follow through overrode even the technical side of the job. The Giffin & Crane "Projects" team is a pleasure to work with and Christi Clayton is one true professional. She communicates exceptionally well with her clients, sub-contractors and associates; most importantly, she delivers what she promises. And while there may be a need for a written contract in all construction jobs, sometimes not everything can be reduced to writing. When that's the case, as it was on our job, there is nothing more valuable than working with someone whose word is their bond. In the final analysis, this is what separates the best from all others. The trust that we developed in Christi, her respect for her clients and her ability to deal with changing conditions on the job will ensure that we will again use the Projects team.

Outstanding; they remodeled a kitchen for us after we suffered a flood. We found them very professional, responsive and friendly. They provided excellent advice, carried through on their work and were very easy to work with Exceptionally honest with wonderful work ethic.

I am a graphic designer and have had the pleasure of working with Projects (Christi Clayton) for the past 3 years. I have always thought of Christi and Cherilyn as a very professional team and I enjoy working with them. Christi pays a lot of attention to design details and is always actively involved in the design process. It is always their goal to deliver a top notch product. I am thrilled to be doing work with Projects and would highly recommend working with this professional team. Sincerely, Dianne Gomersall Gomersall Design

Projects took our 40 year old kitchen and created an efficient and timeless work of art. They created new space by raising the ceiling and moving heating vents and using modern cabinet designs. They were very clean and professional.

I had the pleasure to work with Cherilyn and Christi twice. When you get to know them and the great job they do, you don't let them go easily. I had a vision about how I wanted my house to be and they just made it happen. We did my kitchen first and then the back patio. I was a bit worried in the beginning expecially for the kitchen, but they made it easy for me. Everything worked as smooth as planned and they worked fast too, we finished even earlier. All the people they worked with were very professional, very good at what they were doing and polite. At the end, even if remodeling can be very stressful sometimes, I had a great time doing it with them. It was creative, it was fun, and it was great seeing my vision coming to life, really like a dream come true!

Griffin and Crane Projects supervised the updating of our bedroom -- they were courteous and professional from start to finish, and always helped to resolve issues that presented themselves along the way. They worked with us to make smart and informed decisions about the scope of the project, and also found ways to minimize the expenses. We are so happy with the gorgeous work that they did, would, of course, use them again, and would also recommend them without hesitation!

We have hired Projects by Giffin & Crane for 3 separate jobs. Christi Clayton and Cherilyn Milton are punctual, scrupulously honest, straight-forward, highly organized, and extremely competent. When they price a job, they hold to that price. When they provide a schedule, they hold to that schedule. Christi or Cherilyn was present at the beginning of every day and at the end to make certain that the day's work had been completed to both their and our satisfaction. Their sub-contractors are detailed-oriented, pleasant, and clean up after themselves at the end of every day. Our experiences with Projects have been uniformly excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend their services. At this point, we can't imagine using anyone else for our remodeling projects.

We remodeled an older, dated home with the help of Giffin&Crane Projects Division. Re-did kitchen, removed wallpaper, re-did floors, new finishes throughout. They were fantastic-start to finish. Professional, on time, good quality subs, kept us advised, were considerate of us and our neighbors, finished ahead of schedule, quality of work excellent. Remodeling is stressful but they made it less so and we highly recommend them for any project from big to small.

I didn't know where to start with my kitchen remodel - so it was a lucky day for me when I found Projects. Projects made my ideas become reality and I am very happy with my new kitchen. Christi, Cherilyn and their team are so efficient. The project started ahead of scheduled and finished early, they were on site with the subcontractors every day and kept me informed throughout the process. I would definitely use Projects again and have already recommended them to friends.

I am an interior designer and have completed approximtely 20 remodels with Projects by Giffin & Crane, from small bathrooms to entire second floors. They are very knowledgable and highly conscientious. Jobs are completed within the promised time frame and budget and the clients are always delighted with the results and frequently request more work. Projects' crew is personable, respectful and dedicated to the best possible end result. I recommend them without reservation.
