“We interviewed 13 different contractors before hiring Eileen to remodel our house. She was initially working with an "interior designer" that we had previously retained, but it turned out that at best, she was an interior decorator. We were really trying to give the "designer" the benefit of the doubt because I had a prior relationship with her through my alumni association and we had become friends, but Eileen became concerned because her "design" ideas weren't going to work well for functional and aesthetic reasons. Eileen finally scheduled a meeting for all of us to attend, but the "designer" failed to show up. In any event, when we learned about the extent of the problems, we immediately terminated the "designer." It later came to light that the "designer" had also charged us inappropriately and had us purchase materials at the highest priced stores in order to increase the size of her fees. In any event, Eileen felt so sorry for us and she had been an interior designer before she became a licensed contractor. Eileen took over the role of designer and did not charge us for that additional role because she couldn't believe what we had paid already in that regard. In any event, Eileen and her crew were very diligent and met their time deadlines. With such a large job, it is not unusual for some problems to arise. To her credit, Eileen always took responsibility for any such issues. In fact, the roof leaked over a year after her roofer had done repairs in that area and Eileen made sure that the roof was fixed properly and that the damage caused by the leak was corrected to our satisfaction. We were so impressed with Eileen and liked working with her so much, that she became a close personal friend. We most recently saw her at our wedding on May 3rd, over three years after she remodeled our house.”

“My wife and I purchased a 50 year old Dutch Barn style equestrian property that needed a lot of both aesthetic and functional updating. In my previous neighborhood, I had been watching progress on a total remodel and was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the work was proceeding. Also, the design makeover was notable in how subtle yet remarkable the effect was. So, I introduced myself to Dean and I immediately understood he was no ordinary designer. I hired him on the spot. Dean and his wife Tina are a great team in that they both have design backgrounds and Dean understands all aspects of construction. Together they came up with solutions to functionally modernize our 50 year old Dutch Barn equestrian property while simultaneously maintaining the style integrity of the house. Every step of the way, Dean was very consultative and responsive, and provided us with multiple design options to choose from. He would explain the reasons why certain styles would work versus some of the ideas we had which were not necessarily in keeping with the Dutch Barn style. We are thrilled with the outcome and have had nothing but compliments from everyone who has seen the end result. I highly recommend Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, to anyone considering a remodel or custom build project.”

“Robert Meckauer worked on several projects for us over the years. Our last project was a challenge, since our house was built in the 40's. We hired Robert to both do the Architect work as well as General Contractor. This was great for us, since he was able to keep the subcontractors on point and keep costs inside the budget. Even with changes we made, he was able to make our dream come true! He uses local talent and artists for finish carpentry and painting as well as local plumbers, tile and electricians. We are so happy with our project!”

“WOW! Kirsten Becker and her team is absolutely AMAZING. She has great energy understood exactly what I wanted and surpassed my expectations. I feel so grateful to have worked with Becker Studios and would HIGHLY recommend hiring Becker Studios. ”

“The guys did an amazing job designing and remodeling my home. They gave me and my wife a new kitchen that we absolutely love. They re-did the stairs with these custom cable railings that look like falling rain. They did the fireplace and crafted their own live edge mantle. They did so much to our home it's too much to list. I sold it (for a huge profit thanks to Santa Barbara Builders) and now I live in Texas. I like them so much I invited them to come with me and build us another home. I really considered quitting the Army to go into business flipping homes. It's not everyday you find such a great contracting outfit. I can't recommend them highly enough.”

“Allen Construction did an excellent job on our condominium remodel in Goleta. They helped us through the entire project including the budget, design, and build phase. We combined our ideas and wants and worked it all into a manageable budget. Allen Construction managed everything with the utmost attention to detail and professionalism. We did the remodel remotely from over 1500 miles away but we were kept up to date on everything daily by telephone, Skype, or email. We are extremely happy with the entire process and result. We highly recommend this company and would hire them again on another remodel without reservation.”
