What building in Santa Barbara actually involves

We build around what this area actually demands, starting with the housing stock itself: Beach bungalows and cottages on narrow lots. Licensed general contractor (CSLB #1063782) specializing in home remodeling, additions, kitchen and bathroom renovation, new construction, and ADUs in Santa Barbara and throughout Santa Barbara Coast.

Santa Barbara sits on a narrow coastal plain backed by the Santa Ynez Mountains, and that geography shapes nearly every project you take on here. Lots close to the foothills can be steep and irregularly shaped, which means equipment access is often limited and grading work requires more planning than a flat inland site would. The housing stock leans heavily toward Spanish Colonial Revival and Craftsman bungalows built in the decades after the 1925 earthquake, so walls, framing, and foundations frequently reflect construction methods and materials that predate modern standards, and opening up an older structure often reveals surprises worth budgeting for. The marine climate keeps temperatures mild but delivers persistent moisture, salt air, and occasional heavy rain off the Pacific, all of which accelerate wear on roofing, exterior wood, and metal fasteners and make material selection a practical decision rather than an aesthetic one. Most remodels in Santa Barbara County are permitted through the city if your address sits inside city limits, and through the county if you are in an unincorporated area, and those two paths do not run identically. What varies most from one jurisdiction to the next is the layer that sits on top of the building permit itself: whether exterior changes trigger architectural or design review, whether your parcel falls inside the coastal zone and needs coastal review, and how your local agency applies state ADU law to a conversion or a new unit. Coastal review is handled by the local agency in jurisdictions with a certified Local Coastal Program, and some residential scopes are exempt, so ask your building and planning department which of these apply to your specific parcel while the drawings are still cheap to change.

Common in Santa Barbara

  • 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows
  • post-WWII red-tile-roof ranch houses on flat Eastside lots
  • 1970s hillside contemporaries on steep canyon-cut parcels
  • Victorian-era cottages in the Presidio Neighborhood
  • mid-century cliff-edge homes above West Beach
  • Craftsman foursquares near the State Street corridor

Worth settling before you start

  • foundation type relative to expansive adobe clay soils common on the mesa and foothills
  • salt air exposure and its effect on wood framing, metal fasteners, and exterior finishes for lots within a mile of the waterfront
  • hillside lot drainage and retaining wall condition before any addition or ADU footprint change
  • original red-tile roof integrity and underlying sheathing age on pre-1960 Spanish Revival structures

We hired T&N Remodeling to remove our fireplace, chimney, and rock wall. Tal is very easy to work with. He was very good at keeping us informed ever step of the way. Sent us pictures as the project progressed. They finished ahead of schedule and did a great job! We will hire them again to do our next project. Thank you, Tal, for making it so easy.

I recently purchased a fixer and wanted to gut and remodel one bathroom which included removing a hall closet to expand the shower, which was built for The Slender Man apparently, but I digress. I got three quotes when trying to find a contractor to do the job and this was my first indication that Aiden and T&N were a step above the rest. The other quotes came in the form of a price estimate through a text message, nothing more. Aiden completed a full scope-of-work in the contract, while paying attention to my wants and needs for the project. He presented the SOW and contract in a branded folder with additional forms and instructions. He set the expectation of what materials I needed to purchase and what he would supply at the onset and pointed me in the direction of where to procure high quality materials at a good price. If I had questions about pricing or materials, he was available via phone, text or facetime to consult and let me know if I should purchase it or if he could find a better price for similar product. Once the work began, it proceeded very quickly (tile showers take forever so buckle up) and Aiden handled all the coordination from start to finish. His team was thorough and polite while on site, answering all my questions and taking my requests or suggestions into consideration. End result- The bathroom looks f*cking amazing!!! I couldn't be happier. I'm a real estate agent so I work with a lot of different contractors and I can tell you most of them are horrible. T&N pays attention to the business and customer relations aspects, not only the work to be done and that means a lot to me. I have, and will continue to, refer all my clients needing construction to T&N.

We worked with T&N to remodel two bathrooms and they turned out beautiful. They got the work done on time and on budget and we love our bathrooms. The tile work and finish work was great and Tal and his team were very fantastic to work with and addressed any issues that came up. Everyone compliments us on the bathrooms and can't believe how T&N was able to transform our old dated bathrooms into such amazing spaces.
