Contractors in Santa Barbara

“Elite Remodels turned my 1980s u-shaped tile kitchen into a modern work space with an island, quartz counter tops and custom tile backsplash. Excellent craftsmanship throughout the process. Working with Andrea to find just the right look was a fun experience.“

“I called Lewis Plumbing for a drainage issue in my kitchen sink. When the Lewis Plumbing technician called Isaac came in, the water was passing through, just slowly. The sink was still usable. When he left, the kitchen line was blocked completely. I payed $900, and the problem was not only resolved, it magnified in proportion. I now cannot use the kitchen sink (and dishwasher) and have major repairement project on my laps. The Lewis plumber seemed to not know what he was doing. When he left, he forgot his equipment (large drain cleaner) in my shower, when I call them to take this out of my house he returned to get it, and after he left I had to screw in the drain opening myself. They charge $165 per hour, and he charged me for 4 hours work while he was in my house for little over 3 hours. Isaac also lied on the invoice claiming the kitchen drain was blocked from the beginning. Shame on you, Lewis Plumbing. It's the most overpriced plumbing company in my area, and I came to them because my HOA recommended it. Reading the reviews on Yelp I see many people had bad experiences with them. I wish I researched them before choosing this company.

An update: the company manager called and offered to send a technician at no cost to try to correct the issue. A senior technician came in and fixed the problem within an hour. He also brought back the check I gave them, and issued a new invoice, for $390, which seems very fair. The technician was super nice, and clearly very experienced. The bottom line: the company clearly stands up to its reputation, and makes amends if anything goes wrong. Frankly, I did not expect this, and am more than happy with the resolution of the situation.“

I really appreciated how Dennis walked me through the whole process prior to them starting the job, and how they would give be giving me updates throughout the process.

“Can't be more thankful to Carroll Plumbing for coming out at such short notice to replace a water heater on a short term rental property. We had Airbnb tenants that couldn't run hot water prior to their check out and we were able to get everything replaced and working within hours which alleviated a ton of stress on our behalf. Thank you! You are the best!“

“The Kitchen Company has done an amazing job for us, from design to installation, we could not be happier with the result. Easy to work with and exceptional attention to detail. They even noted and fixed small issues that we had not shown yet. Overall great service and value“

It’s horrible to discover a leak that leads to water damage that leads to your house being torn apart.

It’s not over yet, but we are so very grateful to have contacted them so quickly!“

“A major shout out to Mario! In one day he fixed a variety of
plumbing problems at our two condos: 3 sink & 1 tub drain
replacements, 2 valve cartridge replacements, a leaking
refrigerator water line, a kitchen sink re-grout. He was friendly and professional. He listened to what we wanted, got us
what we needed and introduced us to options we didn't know existed. When he left everything was clean and looking great.
I highly recommend Lee &Sons and Mario in particular!!!“

“We had ranch hands build us a deck to wrap our hot tub, and would highly recommend their services. Great communication throughout the entire process, their workers always showed up when they said they would and cleaned up after themselves every single day, and they clearly took pride in their work. They were not trying to just get it done as fast as possible and then leave, they wanted to make sure we were very happy with the end result and also made sure we were involved in all necessary decision making. By far the best experience we have had working with the trades on our house.“

“I couldn’t be happier with the work this landscaping company did on my backyard! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They listened carefully to my vision, offered great design suggestions, and completely transformed my outdoor space into something even better than I imagined.

The crew showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless when the job was done. The quality of the craftsmanship and the care they put into every detail truly stand out. I’ve already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors!

If you’re looking for a landscaping company that delivers amazing results and exceptional service, I can’t recommend them enough.“

“We had the pleasure of working with Jason of Castle Construction on our garage conversion/ADU. He made a few creative suggestions that helped us to keep the kitchen space feeling open & bright- and the finished result is stunning. His team installed the cabinetry with great precision & no detail was overlooked. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any form of home renovation or ADU project!“

“If you’re looking for a landscape contractor who is equal parts engineer, artist, and problem solver, Daniel Wilson Landscapes is exceptional.

Daniel and his team completely transformed our 1.25-acre foothill property in Santa Barbara. As the daughter of Santa Barbara’s own Grant Castleberg, creator of Alice Keck Park Garden (and many other things), I came into our home project with plenty of ideas, opinions, and high expectations, and Daniel exceeded every one of them.

Like any major landscape construction project, there were unexpected challenges. The biggest came during a record rainfall when we rediscovered a seasonal creek running through our property. Instead of treating it as a problem, Daniel saw it as an opportunity. He designed and built three stunning solid-slab stone bridges and transformed the creek into a beautiful, functional feature that now helps irrigate the landscape through deep watering instead of simply creating runoff.

Every element of the project feels intentional. The grading flows naturally, the pathways are artistic, and the stone walls somehow feel both timeless and modern—like they’ve always belonged here.

Daniel has a rare gift. He sees a landscape the way an artist sees a blank canvas. He paints with vision, but instead of a brush, he uses an excavator. The end result isn’t just landscaping—it’s living art. Every time we walk our property, we discover another thoughtful detail and appreciate his craftsmanship even more.

I’ve included photos (some before and during) so you can see the transformation for yourself. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and recommend Daniel Wilson Landscapes without hesitation.“

“Zac is truly the best. His communication is quick, clear, and professional, and he’s extremely reliable with timing. He did irrigation system maintenance for me and also planted a tree, and the quality of his work was outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, efficient, and clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. It’s rare to find someone this dependable and detail-oriented. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.“

“Joel did a fantastic job for me and he personally made the project go smoothly from the beginning all the way through to the end. My roof is beautiful and safe. I highly recommend Joel’s!“

“So extremely pleased with our experience and project. We needed to update and brighten up our kitchen and living room. Shane removed part of our wall and completely opened up our space and had an excellent idea about building a peninsula and adding cabinets to maximize our space. He had great suggestions all the way through and helped us with some electrical projects as well. Shane is extremely responsive and communicative, and was very reasonably priced.“

“Thank you for the Quick replacement of my water heater, and great workmanship..Services: Installation“
