Santa Barbara, CA General Contracting Professionals

“We have used Scott for nearly 20 years on many projects. He is always honest, considerate, keeps you informed as to progress and has very specific and detailed billing. Too many projects to mention but we have had multi faceted things happening at once ( major and minor remodels). You won’t be disappointed.”

“We hired EPC to remodel two bathrooms and the entryway to our house in Ventura. Gary and Jesse were upbeat and nice to work with. Their skilled staff were all courteous, reliable, efficient, and non-smokers. They were perfectionists and took pride in their work. We are very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the price we paid. Our only minor complaint is that the staff were spread pretty thin across EPC jobs, with our project taking nearly 4 months to complete (longer than projected).”

“We hired Ashton & Hope for our kitchen remodel. The entire process was excellent due to ongoing communications, the project stayed on schedule and the quality of work. We are thrilled with our new kitchen!”

“We have worked with Jack "n" Toolbox a number of times over the last two decades. They have remodeled a bathroom, rebuilt two exterior staircases, repaired a slab leak, built a laundry room, replaced a spiral staircase with a straight drop one and remodeled the room into which it descended and, most important of all, identified and corrected a major building error made by a previous owner which surfaced during the torrential rains of January 2005. In all instances, their work was over and above anything we might have hoped for. The employees of the company listen carefully to our wishes and provide helpful input; they are prompt, respectful and tidy. It has been our pleasure to recommend Jack 'n' Toolbox to several friends, some of whom have acted up on our recommendation.”

“Shane and the Crew at Associated Construction have helped me with several projects spanning over a decade. They have remodeled several commercial buildings, including a restaurant & bar. They also did a major remodel on my house. Craftsmanship, Quality of Work, Job Completion are several of the reasons I have stayed with Associated. I have high traffic facilities that the work performed by Associated manages to hold up to heavy use very well. Very professional & respectful staff from top to bottom at Associated Construction. I highly recommend them for any project. They also have a large network of other trades to help get the job done on time.”

“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.”

“Giffin & Crane remodeled the exterior and interior of my 1340 sq. ft., 60 year old Santa Barbara Cottage. Although I had heard of G & C, it became quite clear that their reputation for the highest quality work preceded them. This became evident from day one as I witnessed the positive interaction of G&C employees and sub- contractors. While there certainly were less expensive options I trusted G&C's professionalism and expertise. They had realistic deadlines which they met. They made revisions as necessary, with my approval. I was advised on every step of the way and was never surprised by any budget revisions, particularly since I was the one that approved them. For example, I was not satisfied with the Kitchen as originally planned. G&C gave me several options with specific budgets and time lines to chose from, incorporating things that I had requested. I always felt that my opinion was respected and that in the end the decisions were ultimately mine. Together we created a labor of love and a little jewel that I cannot wait to come home to. In the end, it was evident that I was as important to them as someone else with a project four times the size.”

“I am a building designer and Schmidt & Schmidt Construction has built many of my projects. I have found them to be a very talented group to work with from office staff to construction workers. They do beautiful work from rough to finish. I have found them to be good problem solvers which can be very important sometimes in remodel or addition projects - not "how do I solve this?" - their attitude is always "here is the issue and this is how we think it can be solved". I my experience, they do excellent work at a reasonable price. I always look forward to working with Schmidt & Schmidt Construction.”

“The Gossage Group Inc. was referred to me by friends who remodeled their home and were pleased with the results. I purchased a fixer upper in Heritage Ranch, Paso Robles and hired the Gossage Group Inc. to do the remodel. The day escrow closed they began the project. The Gossage Group did a complete remodel. New roof, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, paint, plumbing etc.. The entire project was completed in less then two months. The quality of work performed was great! Darin Gossage was a pleasure to do business with and was quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend the Gossage Group Inc.”

“My 150 year old house remodel went so smoothly, quickly and on budget with my contractor Mark Magid, owner of Below Magid Construction. He was so professional and creative, but even better, he made the process amazingly fun! Because we were not sure what we would find inside the walls or under the floors of this sweet old house, everyday was an adventure for me with Mark and his high qualified subcontractors. 5 layers of wallpaper, 4 layers of linoleum, oaks floors on top of fir floors, truly vintage kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures and electrical surprises were never a stress, more like an exciting challenge. I would email him a list of questions or ideas, and the same day Mark would answer me and arrive at the site to meet me with suggestions and answers to update but honor the historical value of my home. It's hard for my family and friends to understand that I enjoyed everyday of my challenging remodel!”
