I'm a UCSB student who recently moved out of a 2B1B unit in Isla Vista, and I called MasterCare for…read morea move-out cleaning. Before the cleaning, the unit was pretty dusty, and there were stains in the toilet and kitchen that I had personally tried to remove for months. I tried a lot of things but just couldn't get those annoying stains off. A few days before my move-out, I decided to call MasterCare and schedule their cleaning service. The service was excellent. They sent a 2-person cleaning team, and the total cleaning took about 4 hours. They magically cleaned the stains that I couldn't manage to remove after months of effort (seriously, I don't know how they did it lol) They cleaned inside the windows, oven, closets, floors, ceilings, and even areas like behind the refrigerator. Everything was cleaned very thoroughly. After they finished, they asked me to check the unit to make sure everything looked good. When I checked, the floor was clean like a mirror(literally reflective lmao see photo I attached) (no exaggeration). The communication with the cleaning team was also very smooth. They were friendly, professional, and did an excellent job, honestly better than I expected. Given the quality of work they did, I think the price is very reasonable. (Some random and weird thoughts: I'm a CS student doing research in AI and robotics, and watching them clean actually made me think that it would be pretty hard to design a robot or RL algorithm that could match their level of cleaning expertise lol +1 point to the human team) After the cleaning, my property managers inspected the unit and said it looked great, so it seems like I'll be getting my full deposit back, which I'm very happy about. I also had great communication with Linda, the company's manager. She is efficient, responsive, and professional, and the whole communication process was very smooth. I enjoyed communicating with her. So, if you live in Isla Vista or near UCSB and need a move-out cleaning, I personally recommend MasterCare

We absolutely loved working with Christine Bergman of "Styled and Staged". Her "reading" of our…read moreSanta Barbara area West-Indian themed home was so insightful. The requested partial staging was fairly priced and the results just stunning. Not only beautiful enhancements, but small thoughtful touches to add warmth and a sense of "home". Especially in a time of sudden and drastic changes in the RE market (pandemic), her gorgeous furniture and accent pieces very definitely made our home "shine" to best advantage and greatly helped us to sell. We highly recommend Styled and Staged to any wishing to sell their homes--to do so will be a huge advantage. Thank you Christine & Team for being so wonderful at your job and so delightfully easy to work with!

After months of building, patching, painting, installing and generally remodeling the whole house,…read moreit's time to sell. Now you want it to look it's best! The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta

I met David by chance in late 2016 and hired him to help us map out a complete remodel of our…read morehistoric home that needed a complete overhaul. David was really patient with us as we didn't have the biggest budget and helped us with not only a well laid out floor plan for our changing needs (it was very funky before) but also helped with our project management which I found incredibly helpful. Most important, we didn't have to hire a separate designer. He suggested very thoughtful period centric elements to build in and materials, tiles, and color schemes to ensure our home had the right feel. He introduced me to some really beautiful and unique materials I'd have never found. In the end we finished everything (including the landscaping) in 2019 before the pandemic to enjoy full time home living. My last comment is that David also works fairly quickly. Our street is older had many architects remodeling our neighbors and it seemed we had the fastest process with getting our plans completed. Highly recommend David.

That's why I hired David Watkins Design, to help guide me through the process. David has a proven track record that you can see in his well organized attention to detail, while making sure he communicates through every step of the way. His good relations and many years of working with The City of Santa Barbara has made what could be a frustrating and overwhelming task for the average person, a breeze. David always makes himself available to discuss and update me on my project. I would recommend David Watkins Design to anyone who wants to get the job done right, while having a personalized experience throughout the process.
