From the walk through process, to the bidding process, to the signing...it was seamless. We have never worked with a builder like this. The entire process was super professional from beginning to end. The communication was top notch and every sub that came through was kind, polite, and did the job very well. It is rare to go through such a large remodel and to not have issues pop up....but we didn't have ONE. They showed up when they said they would, they got in touch with us immediately with any issues or questions, and things were resolved on the spot. Our designer, Cody, was fabulous. She "got" my vision from the very beginning. When she did her presentation to show us the colors and design she had come up with, it was as if she saw into my head....she's amazing. She nailed it. Our project manager, Brian, was fantastic...we don't have one complaint. And bonus...they told us approximately five months to do the remodel from beginning to end...and they finished two days before the five month mark. Unheard of in this industry. We will never use another builder, it will always be SCGB for us. We are absolutely thrilled with our remodel, and the quality of work....I cannot sing their praises highly enough. If you are looking for a builder...look no further. This is THE company you want.

Even though ours was a relatively small job, Spencer and his team fit us into their busy schedule and always made us feel like our project was important. We had carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and a tile setter (not to mention the excellent Quartz fabricator!) all working on our project at various times, and they finished on time and within our budget. Everyone on the team was professional and highly skilled, and they took great care to keep the worksite and surrounding areas clean -- they were also fun and a pleasure to work with. Our kitchen is now gorgeous, thanks to Santa Cruz Green Builders! We couldn't be happier with the quality, the price, and the integrity of the entire SCGB crew and look forward to working with them on our next renovation project.

What do you do when your cat turns on the bidet upstairs at 1 am on a stormy winter night? Well,…read moreyou wake up at 2 am to a flooded bathroom and hallway, a flooded den below the bathroom, and a flooded laundry room adjacent to the den. At least it was fresh water instead of a poopy mess. In a bathroom flood, you find the good things where you can. But it still really was an awful thing to deal with. After an initial group did the immediate remediation, and the insurance company finally got back to us, Rapid Remediation and Restoration helped us get the house back into shape. Stephen and the team helped evaluate the damage and recommend repairs. They were super responsive and highly knowledgeable. His group has been working together for years and has a great rapport with their clients. They could handle all aspects of the project with great skill. I appreciate their presence and responsiveness. They are also some of the kindest people you'll meet. They made the process less painful than it already was. We had them do the following projects: Project 1 - Backyard cement repair. We had a source of water leakage on the "high side" of our foundation unrelated to the bidet incident, but with the heavy rain, we got some water in our basement through the foundation. The cement on the side of the house was demolished and then redone to flow the water away from the house's foundation. Project 2 - Flooded den repair and improvement. It was a big lift. First, they removed all the affected drywall (ceiling and walls) and treated the wood and underlying structures for any water damage. They evaluated the impact on the bathroom subfloor through the demoed ceiling. They assessed the window structures for any additional damage since we had noticed some leaking with the recent storms. They did a gorgeous repair of the wall that was partly exposed foundation and repaired the window sealant and stucco. They installed new ceiling lights and luxury vinyl plank over the tile floor (we had some for another project on hand). I work from that room and need it dialed. Project 3 - Flooded laundry repair. Another big lift. Demoed, treated, and repaired the drywall. They leveled the floor and fixed the small causeway between the den and the laundry room so the flooring from the den repair was consistent and level. I put a picture here, and we had it painted yellow on purpose. No judgment about the color! It is so lovely to have a happy and sunny room doing laundry. It was white before - just cold and industrial. Blech. Project 4 - Bathroom upgrade. The coup de grâce. Since the flooring had to go and the bathroom was quite dated, it was on the shortlist for home improvements before the cat-bidet incident, so we just said, f-it, let's do it! Since the decision to do the bathroom was not in the original plan, we had to work under time constraints and source all available items quickly through local hardware stores. Even though almost everything was updated, the bathroom highlights were installing a pocket door and changing the second-floor window to fit in such a tricky-sized room. PSA - if you are dealing with water damage, be prepared to make many decisions quickly. Do your research and have candid conversations with your remediation team. And for goodness sake, keep the bathroom door closed so your cat doesn't hit up the bidet bar after hours. RIP Sandy. And I didn't have a "before" picture of the bathroom, but imagine a 1976 bathroom that still needed to be updated--beige and well-used.

Jared Lewis is the partner you want on your team…read more We were introduced to Jared when our Scotts Valley home was destroyed by a giant tree by a local real estate expert who is a staple in the community. From our first interaction - Jared was "people first". He cared about our family's needs, spent a great deal of time evaluating our complex options - and was the first to state when he felt something was beyond his scope, expertise, or bandwidth (spoiler alert: nothing is :) Though the entire process , Jared maintained his professional demeanor as our strategy shifted through various curveballs: changing market conditions, rebuilding vs selling, and working through various needs of our insurance provider. He also employs top-notch technology. As work commenced, I was able to stay on top of the day's activities through a digital log - complete with pictures, reports, and project details. The entire time I felt so "connected" to the build, and his team always delivered when they said they would. Finally, it always felt that Jared considers a long term view for his clients, I never felt pushed in any direction. He considers your success to be his success. Please consider Jared to your interview panel, he'll deservedly earn your business.
