Gary, Jessie and Crew at Eagle Pride Construction have done a great job on our Master Bedroom and Kitchen Remodel. I had a few ideas of what I wanted and they carefully explained what would and wouldn’t work. For the things that wouldn’t work, they gave me some great ideas to improve upon what I wanted. The quality of the work is great. We are very pleased we chose to go with EPC.

Gary and his team are extremely thorough and very detail oriented. True professionals. The honesty and integrity that Gary and his crew display is a breath of fresh air. Remodeling can be a disruption to our normal daily routine, but they were expeditious in their efforts to complete the project quickly while still delivering a fabulous product! I Highly recommend Eagle Pride Construction.

I'm in the process of doing major exterior renovations to my home. Boxing in the eaves for weather protection and aesthetics, replacing/removing damaged fascia, painting, replacing a storm door and repairing around the window frames. Gary has the patience of a saint. He explains the breakdown of the cost and materials involved to do the project. He shows up and explains the process when I get overwhelmed and am ready to give up. If you need someone to do the job right the first time and explain the reasons certain construction processes are beneficial compared to other methods, EPC Construction is the way to go. I am looking forward to the completion of this exterior renovation and know it will be as successful as the kitchen remodeling project they did for me in 2024.Posted on Google![]()

Big thank you to Eagle Pride Construction! From beginning to end Gary, Jessie, Candy, Chris, Eric and all trades involved were easy to work with, professional, and efficient. True craftsmen. The timeline on my project to gut, redesign and remodel a bathroom and lay 3 rooms of wood flooring was done on time with efficiency and precision. They will definitely be my first and only call when I need additional work done.Posted on Google![]()

Interviewed a number of contractors to handle some major home restorations and EPC had by far the best vision for the project. They handled every aspect of the project, from planning to scheduling and the work itself. That was a huge bonus, since I live out of state and wasn't able to be there regularly. There were no surprises and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. They did what they said they'd do and when they said they'd do it. Highly recommend their services.+6Posted on Google![]()

We hired Eagle Pride Construction to remodel two bathrooms, install tile and LVP flooring. We were very happy with the outcome and especially liked working with Jesse! The staff at Tile Co were very helpful too and had a great selection of tile. Overall very impressed and especially liked Gary's 10-year guarantee of his work.+0Posted on Google![]()

Jesse and Gary were instrumental in helping my wife and I navigate through our construction after a massive water leak destroyed our kitchen. We would be lost without these guys. I highly recommend Eagle Pride Construction to everyone.Posted on Google![]()

Eagle Pride Construction has done numerous projects for our home over the years, from minor repairs to major structural work including a balcony addition and design, and sewer line replacement required by the county. The quality of the work is fantastic, the cost is reasonable, and the people are amazing. I highly recommend them for all your projects, big or small.Posted on Google![]()

Gary and his team beautifully transformed the tub and shower area of our old bathroom. They were on the ball with coming out quickly to take care of everything with no lag of days waiting in between steps. Always responsive to our calls. It was such a pleasure working with them. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a garage conversion ADU help create extra space for family or future rental use?
Yes. A garage conversion ADU can create extra space for family, guests, an in-home office, or future rent potential where local rules allow. We help homeowners review the garage, property layout, utilities, and Santa Barbara County requirements before recommending the best design approach.
How do I choose the right contractor for a garage conversion in Santa Barbara?
Look for a contractor with garage conversion experience, design-build capabilities, permit knowledge, and a clear process for managing plans, utilities, construction, and inspections. The right contractor should explain the project clearly, protect your property, and help you avoid delays or costly mistakes.
Can converting my garage make my house easier to sell in the future?
Yes. A permitted garage conversion can add useful living space, improve the function of the home, and appeal to future buyers who want extra space for family, work, guests, or rental income. The value depends on the quality of the build, the design, the size of the space, and local buyer demand.
What makes a garage conversion in Santa Barbara unique?
Garage conversion remodeling in Santa Barbara can involve specific zoning rules, parking requirements, permit reviews, and Santa Barbara County regulations. Coastal climate, utilities, property layout, and neighborhood character may also affect the design, materials, and approval process.
Do garage conversions require water, plumbing, or utility upgrades?
Many garage conversions require utility upgrades, depending on the intended use of the space. A simple office may need electrical, insulation, lighting, and HVAC, while a garage conversion ADU may require plumbing, water lines, drainage, kitchen utilities, and bathroom connections.
