Len and his crew have done three major remodels for my family over the last 8 years. They do beautiful work and come in on time and on budget! read more

Len and his crew of Matt, Hector, Ramon and Thad did an outstanding job of building our new deck. They started it in early January and finished in mid-March. Working conditions were difficult to say the least. We live on a steep hill, and a few days after work commenced, it began to rain. It rained off and on thru the duration of the project. The crew didn't miss a beat due to the weather. The craftsmanship in the entire project was excellent. Matt, the crew chief, set a very high standard throughout the project, from initial layout to laser-leveling the posts for the cable railing system. He even added additional structural elements to provide greater stiffness. We contacted at least eight contractors before selecting Seacliff. When I first talked with Len, he recommended that a structural engineer do the design as the deck is over 20 feet off the ground in some places. We went with his recommendation of Blake and Kim Carpenter, and were very pleased with their design. After settling on the design, we met with Len, and he provided recommendations on materials. On his advice, we chose an enhanced Trex product for the deck surface. We couldn't be more pleased with the final result. One of the main reasons we chose Len is the transparency he provides in his cost accounting. It is very detailed and reassuring to review. There were absolutely no surprises, and the final tally come in below his original estimate. This deck was a major construction project for a residence. Two, old, cantilevered decks had to be removed, and an entirely new structural design had to be incorporated. We are really enjoying our new deck, and will definitely use Seacliff Construction for any new projects. read more

Len and his team did a complete remodel of my Kitchen in Rio del Mar. This included removing all cabs, plumbing, floor, drywall right down to the studs, in other words it was completely gutted. I choose Alder wood custom cabs from Schmidt of Watsonville, tile floor, quartz counter, subway tiles, sil- granite sink and added a gas line. Len and I met at several stores to check out tile, cabs and counter material which was very useful. It took 6+ weeks which was expected and why I choose to be out of town when most of the work was done. It was started right on time just as I requested several months earlier. I was able to keep an eye on the project with a drop cam. It was fun to see the progress every evening wherever I was. Len was creative with the design and came up with a few key enhancements primarily the cabinets. I was planning to use manufactured cabinets but when I saw the quality of Schmidt cabs and reasonable price I went for it. Im very happy I did. Also, I have a garden window ( the only thing left from original kitchen) and the base shelf was ordinary material that showed it age. Since there was extra quartz material left over from counter he proposed adding it to the garden window and it really improved it. I met several members of his team and they all were courteous and efficient in their work. read more

We spent more than a year interviewing contractors for a full kitchen and living space remodel on our home - and throughout the process we were glad we went with Seacliff Construction. Len was entirely transparent with his price quote (some wouldn't provide itemized estimates until we signed a contract), and provided regular, itemized billing - including labor and materials. They estimated 12 weeks for completion - and they finshed right on time and right on budget thanks to Danielle's terrific project management (in fact, she also kept us on schedule with decisions like counters, cabinets and finishes as well). Speaking of, Len spent a full day with us visiting design centers to help coordinate our finishes - it was incredibly helpful. Unlike others, Len was also willing to offer guidance when asked (always couched with 'well, if I was doing this,' or 'I have seen others...'), but always followed our direction. The quality of their craftsmanship was top-notch, and the work crew was entirely professional and courteous. One thing we didn't realize was a benefit with Seacliff - the crew are are local employees, not contractors. Because of that, there were no work slowdowns or 'no shows.' For the 12 week job, there were maybe two days (Christmas and New Year's) in which someone wasn't in the house working. We could not be more pleased with our result, and with the work done by Seacliff. read more

Len gave me ideas of how I can best create a storage area under the house - great ideas! We are waiting on rain to see if there are any overhead leaks. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and felt very at ease - there was no pressure and he gave me options to save on the costs! After the rain check, I'm going with Seacliff Construction! read more

My husband and I just moved here and we interviewed 5 contractors before choosing Seacliff Construction & Design for our kitchen remodel. We felt most comfortable with them and they provided references and a brochure. It was the best decision we've ever made. Seacliff was competitive with their pricing, stayed within our budget and finished the job on-time. During the demo process the crew was extra cautious about the dust factor and cleaned up all along the way. Everyone was very nice, professional and went above and beyond to give us the kitchen we've always dreamt of. We couldn't be happier!! Too notch company!! Thank you Seacliff!! read more

I had major water damage that had been happening for years, unknown to me. Hence, there was no way for Len to give me a close estimate because the extent of the damage was unknown. So the final bill was perfectly reasonable. The completed job was excellent. Len steered me in all the right directions, ie Sierra Pacific Windows, little decisons about this or that. But one of my favorite things about hiring Seacliff Construction is Len's crew. Hector, Ramone, Seth and Jason were always on time, and worked efficiently and professionally. But I also want to say they were a kick to work with, and there is nothing like a good sense of humor. Thank you all, Cherie read more

Len and his peeps are the best. They remodeled our Aptos home top to bottom. What I thought was going to be a basic job of "replacing the surfaces" turned into much more as we got into the walls and found out things were not good--walls, windows, roofing, decking, plumbing, HVAC, electrical. There was no job they couldn't tackle. Very honest. Got to a point we just had them do it time and materials. He also has a great eye for design and decorating. Helped me pick out the finishes. Crew was responsible, respectful, local, and just nice people. They made a remodel fun. Follow up was excellent. Looking forward to our next remodel with them! read more

Our kitchen was already well used when we bought our house 10 years ago, and it had many problems, including cabinets that were too high to reach. We heard about Seacliff Construction & Design from friends, and liked what we saw when we checked the website and Yelp reviews. After meeting with Lennox, we could clearly see he knew what we wanted. We already had plans in hand, and had made many design choices, but he was able to understand our vision and help us make some smart adjustments. We felt confident enough to head out of the country for a three week summer vacation and leave Lennox and his team to handle our remodel. Lennox kept everything organized and on time. Even after they were officially done, they returned to touch up minor things and make everything perfect. Seacliff Construction & Design did so well, we plan to have them remodel our two bathrooms next! read more

Lennnox and his crew remodeled our kitchen in 2019. All of his workers from top to bottom were able to address every aspect of the project with all of the expertise and teamwork we were hoping for. So pleased, we had him come back with his deck building crew to design and build a beautiful custom Trex deck at our home in Aptos. read more

Seacliff Construction completed a project for us that has become the focal point of our home. The process was detailed, follow through excellent, and work completed in a timely manner. Len, the owner, was professional and responsive, always getting back to us immediately. Our deck and balcony were built with creative style and environmental conscienousness. All of our neighbors have complimented us on the beautiful difference in the home's appearance. We highly recommend Seacliff for all your building and remodeling needs. There isn't any better! Chuck and Kim Ernst Aptos read more

Len is nothing short of Fantastic! He was very quick to respond to all my questions, met me on site a couple times before bidding, got permission for me to access one of the condos he fully renovated for another client (even after the owners had moved in!). I was very impressed by his comprehensive bid, the transparency he provides, and how he was always on the ball and following up when needed at each step. Len is a very personable person and very easy to get along with. His work is really incredible and I wholly recommend him! read more

We recently needed a small repair where someone had run in to our garage wall. We tried unsuccessfully to find someone who could or would do this small job without success. Finally we reached out to Len at Seacliff Construction hoping only to get a recommendation for someone who might be able to do a small job. Instead Len volunteered that he could send a couple of his crew over to do the repairs. He did and the result was great. We knew Len from work he had done on our condo shortly after we purchased it. We had reached out to multiple contractors without success before contacting Len at Seacliff Construction on recommendation of our daughter's in laws. Len was great to work with: he provided updates and when we encountered unexpected situations promptly provided options to address. The work was completed in the expected time frame and on budget. We could not be happier with the completed product We are planning a kitchen remodel next year and we are definitely planning to work with Len for that project read more

My husband and I hired Seacliff Environmental Services and Construction to do some remodeling on our townhouse. We thought the project was only going to be cosmetic (paint, flooring) but problems were found in the bathrooms (rotted out sub-flooring and wall studs). Seacliff worked with us to keep costs down by finding excellent materials at very reasonable prices and by making recommendations that gave a lot of bang for the buck. They are very professional and do outstanding work. They stand by their work and are reliable, honest and affordable. My husband and I have done a lot of remodeling and have worked with many contractors on different projects. We HIGHLY recommend Seacliff and would hire them again. read more

My husband and I can't say enough fantastic things about Len and his crew. Our kitchen is exactly what we wanted, and we are thrilled. From the very beginning, Len listened to what we wanted and designed a kitchen with all of our needs in mind. He was responsive to any changes we wanted, and was easy to work with. He replied to almost all of our emails within hours. The personal attention was impressive. When it came to the actual construction, the crew was efficient and clean. They never stalled or made excuses. The house was also in good condition each day we came home. So many people share nightmare stories about their remodel projects, and our experience has been quite the opposite. Because any remodel can be stressful, do yourself a favor and hire this company. It will make the process enjoyable and painless. read more

Seacliff Environmental Construction did a great job on some interior work for our home. They are incredibly knowledgeable and recommended several options that were within our budget. Service was professional and they completed the project faster and for less money than we expected. If you want a local contractor who is honest, reliable and affordable, I highly recommend them. read more

Seaside was our top choice for a bathroom remodel, requiring complete updating but also a structural change in the roof. The contractor, Lennox Smith, competently led a skilled team including a structural engineer and specialists in tile, wood, and glass. We were exceedingly happy with their workmanship, reliability/professionalism, persistence in working with city planning, and dedication to keeping our project within the budgeted amount. We were out of the state when the remodeling took place. However, we never worried about the care taken by Seaside, and our trust was well placed. We recommend Seacliff without reservations. read more

I hired Seacliff Construction & Design to do a project in my home recently. Professional, competent, skilled, courteous, on time - these are the words that come to mind with regard to Lennox and his guys. I am very happy with their work and am happy to recommend them. Thanks Len, Scott and Seth - great job! read more

I am in the process of buying a home that needs some work and feel very fortunate I found Lennox. He came out to give me an estimate, and I could tell right away I found a good contractor and a good guy to help us. I am in a bit of a time crunch and needed the estimate soon and Len had it to me the next day. He spent a good amount of time checking things out and explaining what he would do to repair the problem and the solution he came up with is brilliant. I know it's early since I have only had the estimate but I can tell I already like the way Len works and the way he runs his business! Great service so far, Thanks Len! read more

I hired Lennox Smith from Seacliff Environmental Services and Construction for an interior remodel on a home I recently purchased in Santa Cruz. Well, when remodeling a 45 yr. old house, a number of issues were uncovered. Len was awesome about working with me to resolve the problems, meet my high expectations and complete what turned into a MAJOR remodel both inside and outside in a very timely manner. I can't say enough how very pleased I am with the work, the professionalism of the staff and their assistance in keeping the costs reasonable. I would recommend Seacliff to anyone and would absolutely use them for any future work. They are the BEST! read more

Seacliff was fantastic when we remodeled our kitchen. We were a bit nervous when we were selecting a contractor becasue the last time, when swe worked with another contractor, we had such a bad experience. Len and his guys were great. On time, quick and quality workers.... they finished on schedule (acutally early) and under budget. What really was helpful was how Len asked questions and offered suggestions... he really has an eye for design and what works and doesn't. He helped us make great choices. The kitchen has been finished now for 3 months and we love it more every day. read more

2012-Seacliff Environmental Services & Construction did a terrific job of renovating our guest bathroom. Lennox Smith was great to work with, understood our expectations and offered suggestions. Len and Scott Faulk were professional, knowledgeable, respectful of our property, and focused on our project and desires. To say the least, it was gratifying and fun working with them. The work was completed within the planned schedule and our budget. Seacliff was very attentive in protecting our home. They communicated with us daily about the work. We are extremely pleased with the work performed. We highly recommend them and will use them for future work. 2015-We contacted Seacliff Construction & Design to renovate our laundry room. It was terrific working with Len again. He understood our objective and offered some suggestions. We received appropriate verbal and written communications,keeping us apprised of the status of our project. His employees were all pleasant and careful to protect our home and minimize the dust and inconvenience. The employees on-site updated us each day on the status and what they expected to do next. He coordinated his work with others, including our painter. It was a pleasure working with Len and his employees. The work was completed within the planned schedule ( actually a few days earlier than expected) and our budget. As stated with our previous project, we definitely recommend Seacliff Construction and will contact them for any future work. read more

Seacliff Construction is the best! They just finished up a full remodel and two additions, which included the kitchen and laundry room. From the start Len walked us through the entire project. We approached him with just an idea and a budget and he worked with us for over two years as we came up with a plan that met everything on our wishlist, and stayed within that budget. He was always patient and gave input as we went through many iterations and revisions before finding our best solution. We are a young family with three little kids so finding someone that gave us the time and patience to get our project right was amazing, and I think pretty rare! The crew is just as great, they are detail oriented, and so conscientious. From start to finish they fixed any problems they found (even if they weren't in the original scope) without hesitation, and made suggestions and found solutions to make the house better. They communicate well with each other, billing is clear and transparent, overall we are so happy with the finished product, and highly recommend Seacliff Construction for any project big or small. read more

I interviewed several contractors for a bathroom remodel and quickly formed a strong rapport with Len. He was knowledgeable, professional, organized and showed me his portfolio. Len helped us select and recommend materials. Project was done on-time and on budget. I was delighted with the entire experience and would recommend Len without reservation. And the price was terrific. read more

I am writing to express my pleasure and very positive thoughts about Seacliff Construction. Lennox Smith, Seth Bragg, Scott Faulk and every one else on their staff are not only outstanding at their trade, they are artists. We just completed a major remodel involving every room in our house, inside and out, as well as the exterior hard scape. My thoughts on the project were vague, except for the structural renderings done by my architect. My wife and I will retire in this house and I wanted to be an active participant in its design and finish work. Fortunately, Lennox Smith is an expert both in design as well as construction. At each decision point he presented me with ideas and options that I had not considered. He accompanied me to pick everything that can be seen: siding, windows, roof, granite, stone, light fixtures, sinks, tubs, plumbing fixtures, appliances, doors, flooring, carpeting, etc. Our taste was very similar and it was very reassuring to have him there while these choices were made. The house is so much better than I imagined having had Len's guidance and suggestions. They did an absolutely beautiful job. All the above is important, but the best part is that it was fun to do. These guys took care of everything. They take pride in everything they do. Their honesty and integrity is written all over the house. The honesty and integrity is also seen in the pricing. Len documents everything very clearly and was very financially kind with my last minute changes. I hope you choose this company. You'll be very happy you did. read more

Can't say enough what a great job Lennox and crew did on our master bath and kitchen. I couldn't be there all the time but they knew exactly what I wanted and went beyond that and ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend them!!!! read more

We recently remodeled our bathroom and had a wonderful experience with Seacliff Construction. Lennox, Scott, Seth and the rest of the crew were professional, clean, creative and thoughtful. They were patient with our dogs. :-) They helped us make good decisions about design and other important choices. The job was finished on time and we are working together on the plans for our next remodel project. read more

My husband and I just recently had our bathroom remodeled by Seacliff Construction and Design and we had a great experience working with them! Once we decided to do this remodel we met with a couple of different contractors that we had found on yelp. Lennox spent over an hour with us going over all of the different possibilities. He was very friendly and helpful and we felt comfortable with him right away. In addition his estimate for the remodel was the most reasonable. It took about 2 and 1/2 weeks to complete the construction and we are thrilled with the outcome. We spoke with Lennox and met him with him several times throughout the process and he was always very kind, helpful and patient. I would definitely recommend Lennox and his crew! They were all very professional and great to work with! read more

We LOVE Seacliff Construction & Design. What an incredible company! My husband and I were in dire need of plumbing, bathroom updating, cabinet resurfacing, and kitchen installations to get our house ready to list on the market. Lennox Smith was able and willing to make the time for our relatively small (for them) but gigantically important (to us!) project right when we needed him. His crew is incredibly thoughtful and professional and we saw them make careful, smart decisions throughout their time at our house. The crew used their time efficiently and worked hard to make sure they got as much done in the course of a day as possible (which is NOT always the approach in this industry). I would hire Seacliff again in a heartbeat and feel confident recommending them to anyone in need of construction and design work -- be it on a totally new home, remodel, or individual project basis. They have the smarts, professionalism, and experience to tackle it all and the results are fantastic. I think Len has built a company that is as good as they come. read more

Our home had been through 4 separate contractors working on various projects before we were introduced to Seacliff Environmental Services and Construction in 2005. My wife and I could immediately see a difference. The Seacliff Environmental staff was knowledgeable beyond any other contractor services we used before. Our design plans were well thought out and detailed by the expertise of Lennox Smith. He designed projects that were within our budget and scope. He patiently guided us with the eye of an architect and precision of an engineer. His team arrived daily on time as well as being very courteous to my wife and children. They were excellent at making sure they cleaned up at the end of their day. Lennox has always followed up after the completion of each project to ensure our satisfaction. That is why we will continue to use them for our needs. The next project on our kitchen will be completed this Spring by no one other than Seacliff Environmental Services and Construction. read more
