"In January, 2018, my home was all but destroyed by the debris flow. Some walls had been blown out and most windows were missing. The majority of the house was buried in three feet of mud and debris. I let the house just stand for several years as we sorted through our memories and salvaged what we could. I met Jay Hanseth the first day I came to the house, once I was allowed to go into it. Jay had already scraped away mud and debris from the driveway from the street, and opened a path to my front door. It was a nice welcome. As time went on, Jay and his crew cleared the house and patios for me, and started sanitizing the 2x4’s after the wallboard had been stripped off. Although we could see the bones of the house, most friends and family thought I should just sell it or tear it down. With Jays guidance, however, we decided to rebuild it. The amazing saga to bring my home of 47 years back to life began. Although Jay was involved with other homeowners after the disaster recovery, we worked tirelessly together to restore our home. He worked with me on several changes we decided to make to the house. Otherwise it was built as it was but better than it was previously. Jay and his team are true professionals. Jay worked with me and my budget, being mindful of my settlement from insurance. Although Jay was extremely busy during my project, he was always available to meet with me. Those many visits to my home have continued and we have developed a very nice friendship. I am happy to give Jay Hanseth my Seal of Approval, and would recommend him to my friends. "

"In 2018, our home was destroyed by the Montecito debris flow and had to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. After years of dealing with our insurance company, we were fortunate to have Hanseth Construction recommended to us. In 2020, we chose to work with Jay Hanseth over a very popular local construction company because we wanted a more personal experience for such an important project. Working with Jay and his team turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. Hanseth Construction provided exceptional service every step of the way—professional, attentive, and always focused on making sure our vision came to life. Jay’s clear communication, honesty, and timeliness set him apart. We always knew where things stood and could trust that the work would be done on schedule and to the highest standards. He treated our home as if it were his own, and the result is a beautiful new home that we are proud and grateful to live in. Beyond the home itself, what we value most is the relationship we built with Jay. Through the process, we not only found an outstanding builder, but also gained a lifelong friend. We cannot recommend Hanseth Construction highly enough. Jay and his team not only rebuilt our house, they helped us rebuild our sense of home. "

"Hanseth Construction and Jay Hanseth’s team of subcontractors did an exceptional job on our full-home remodel! When first contracted, Jay listened to our ideas, and contributed additional, creative design ideas that made our home so comfortable and lovely. Hanseth Construction works with a team of excellent artisans and subcontractors who were professional, fun to work with and who listened to our ideas and feedback. All were hard workers and skilled at what they did. They kept us up to speed with progress and were fun to be around. We get compliments from family and visitors about the appearance, comfort, and style of all! Hanseth Construction went above and beyond our expectations. We have recommended Hanseth Construction to others, and they also have thought so highly of their work. We would use Hanseth Construction again and recommend their team if you want quality, enduring, creative work that looks great…and if you want to work with a team that communicates openly and collaborates to get your desired result."

"Jay Hanseth & his team renovated our 1980's Montecito house in 2022. They were easy to work with, professional and dedicated. Jay has a team of pros that addressed every aspect of our renovation. And it was a "gut renovation"... down to the studs. The house was transformed from a Tuscan period piece to a fresh and inviting modern space. We were referred to Jay by a neighbor who had used Jay's team for their renovation and we were excited to have a solid recommendation. Of course, the renovation happened during COVID - a difficult time to get workers and materials. But Jay and his team managed through that and we are very pleased with the outcome. We would like to extend a big thank you to all involved and would refer Jay to anyone considering building or renovating. "
