Clark Builders Inc.
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA

AAA Development, Inc.
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 October 2012
“I have worked with Mike Seay and AAA Development on two projects now and I can't say enough great things about them. The entire crew is knowledgeable and so helpful in getting things done in a timely manner. They do beautiful work and are very easy to work with. As long as I am able to refer clients to a construction company I will be referring them to AAA Development.”
Associated Construction Santa Barbara
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 July 2017
“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.”
Jack 'N Tool Box, Inc.
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 February 2015
“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.”
James Johnson Construction Inc.
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 September 2015
“James runs a very professional construction business. His team is highly skilled, respectful, and has a sense of urgency. They are happy to handle big and small projects of all scopes. I highly recommend them.”
Eagle Pride Construction Inc
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars22 March 2017
“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).”
Dovetail Projects
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 June 2015
“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.”
Hybrid Construction
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 May 2021
“I have had the pleasure of working with Hybrid Construction on multiple home improvement projects as well as remodels. Whether the project is large in size or small they are always friendly and professional. They offer design recommendations and suggestions as well as preforming the actual work to get the job done. The owner is always responsive to my many questions and takes the time to explain the pros and cons of the various options that are presented to me for my project. When you hire Hybrid Construction for your project you can be assured that the owner will be on the job site on daily basis, not just at the time that you sign the contract. As we all know, this is not always the case w/ General Construction companies. This is 1 major differentiator in my opinion, between Hybrid and other companies. I have been living and working from my home while construction is being preformed. I truly appreciate Hybrid Construction's attention to detail in both the creative space as well as the day to day cleanliness of the job site. To know that my home will be left neat and tidy and the end of the working day is a relief! Hybrid Construction represents a team of honest, reliable, creative and hard working individuals. I receive frequent compliments on my home and yard all based on the work preformed by Hybrid Construction!”

“Allen Associates lead our house rebuild project after the Jesusita Fire. Our home has been featured in a few magazine articles and will be on this year's AIA tour in Santa Barbara - this speaks to the wonderful design and excellence of craftsmanship throughout. Allen Associates is a pleasure to work with. Throughout our project they went out of their way over and over again to assure the hightest caliber of work was done from beginning to end.”
HO'OKIPA Design & Construction
Builders in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 June 2020
“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.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Santa Barbara:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.
