Hanseth Construction is a creative and reliable construction company.

We were very pleased with the work done by Hanseth Construction on an extensive remodel of our home in Montecito, California. Jay and his team did an incredible job keeping the integrity, style and history of the 1919 house. Having known Jay Hanseth for many years, we knew he was the right fit for the project. He delivered high quality workmanship from master crafters and artisans, and they all exceeded our expectations. Jay beautifully remodeled this home, then brought it back from ruin after it was overrun by the Montecito debris flow. Jay is dependable and adaptable at handling unexpected changes. He is a good communicator and kept our project on time and on budget. He was always available to us and kept our spirits up, especially when he was called on to bring our house back to its pre-debris flow beauty. We are happy to recommend him for your building needs.
