TESTIMONIALS
"We recently used your services for our new kitchen cabinets. They are beautiful and we are very happy. Everyone we met while completing the project was very professional and respectful of the cautions advised during this Covid time. We will certainly let friends know how happy we are with the process and the results. Thank you for all you do and for carrying on with your work during this difficult time."

"And why not thank you again for bringing the whole thing off so well. You are far and away the best builder I've ever used....and there have been legions....sometimes on the same projects...including the owner-builder stints."
— Theodore Roosevelt Gardner II, the Piano House & The Book House
WHAT MORE ARE SAYING…
"I have one of the Crocker Houses on Upper Garden Street, and Utt Construction has remodeled my house from top to bottom, including making a Tatami Room in the attic with a Tansu Staircase in Ash to access it.....Unbelievable craftsmanship!"
— VLT Gardner
"My wife and I purchased a home in Montecito and retained interior designer, Ann James to assist us in a complete renovation of our home. We in turn hired Bradley Wisham and Utt Construction for this project. As Florida residents and part time Montecitans, we were obviously concerned about being absent while the project went on... We found Bradley and Utt Construction to be entirely trustworthy and dependable. This was an expensive project, but Utt’s billing was accurate and fair. I hope this helps you make your decision to hire Utt Construction, Inc."
— Stuart Z. Grossman
“We have dealt with dozens of contractors and Utt stands head and shoulders above them. They are responsive, attentive, fair in their pricing, and organized with any change orders we asked for. A few needs have come up since the project finished, but they have been so responsive, and are at the house within a day. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in Santa Barbara looking to build or remodel their home.”
— Priscilla and Steve Kersten
"Utt Construction has done several jobs for us over the years, both large and small. We've found them to be skillful, caring, accessible and fair. They have always finished jobs on schedule and on budget. We couldn't have hoped for better experiences and outcomes..."
