TESTIMONIALS

Our goal is to have 100% raving clients. Here’s what some of our recent clients are saying about us:

THEY REALLY ARE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO!

“We highly recommend Allen Construction. The team is professional, trustworthy, and highly skilled. We initially sought them out for a kitchen remodel based on their excellent reputation. They guided us through a very challenging unforeseen problem (having to redo our entire foundation) and did so while being mindful of costs without sacrificing quality. They had excellent ideas we never would have considered, or even known were options, that really elevated the project. We are so pleased with the final product and will absolutely be working with them again on future projects. They are incredibly easy to work with, and they really are the best at what they do!” ~ Lissa P.

EVERYONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, VALIDATES OUR POSITIVE EXPERIENCE

“When I tell friends Allen is our contractor everyone, without exception, validates our positive experience either through their own experience or by reputation. We are very happy with the staff, the timeline, and quality of work.” ~ Bruce L

I CAN’T RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY ENOUGH!

“I found Allen Construction on this website [HOUZZ] and am so thankful that I did. We hired their team to do a remodel in our Ojai home which primarily included the kitchen & bathrooms, along with a sound studio in the garage. They worked with us from start to finish and did an amazing job on everything, while dealing with a pandemic and massive shipping delays. Everyone that we met with on the job was an absolute pleasure to work with, and they kept our stress levels to a minimum. A huge thank you to everyone involved and I can't recommend them highly enough!” ~ Denise L

THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP WAS EXCEPTIONAL

“Allen Construction is truly an exceptional contractor. Their team is extremely dedicated to delivering high-quality product, and they work exclusively with great subcontractors. Our renovation was fairly complicated, and we were very discerning about the finish level and details. There was no detail too small for their team to focus on and get right, and the quality of their workmanship really shows. I couldn't recommend them more highly.” ~ Brady T

THEY [MADE] THE PROJECT 100% REWARDING

“This was our first time going through a remodel and was expecting a lot of stress and was dreading it to be honest. We had the exact opposite experience - I feel like we were in such good hands with our team that they managed to make the project 100% rewarding, even during a pandemic and massive global shipping delays! We are so happy with the results and impressed with the professionalism that we encountered throughout the entire process. Thank you everyone!” ~ Tim L

WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM

“Anna and John G. have been pleasure to work with. They have helped us throughout the process with care for their product, respect for our needs, and a professional attitude. We felt great comfort, during a full house build, that our house and interests were being looked after. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a new build or remodel.” ~ Brad H

ALLEN DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB

“Allen Construction is a wonderful custom home builder. My husband and I were lucky enough to find a lot with a view of the Channel Islands. Our architect drew up our dream home and we entrusted our plans to Allen based on the spectacular homes they've built in Santa Barbara and Ventura. Once we met with Eric and his team we were certain that they would deliver a high quality home and do their best to work within our budget. Allen did an outstanding job of completing our home on time and within budget. We could not be happier with the results. We were fortunate that Richard, our project manager, paid attention to details and kept our project moving. Now that we've moved in, Richard is still attending to any small detail that needs attention. Our new home is everything we'd hoped for and we are grateful to Allen Construction for their commitment to completing our project with integrity.” ~ Sheri P

FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS

“Having done a renovation of an historic house in Virginia, I knew how difficult a major construction project can be. With Allen I learned it didn't have to be that way. They were totally supportive from day one, kept me well informed every step of the way, and most importantly, constructed a house that far exceeded our expectations.” ~ Tom B

I CANNOT ENDORSE ALLEN HIGHLY ENOUGH

“I cannot endorse Allen highly enough. They are extremely professional, detailed oriented, transparent, and fair. The quality of their work is exceptional, and they hold their subs to a very high standard.” ~ Brady T

ALLEN IS A GREAT COMPANY TO HAVE ON YOUR SIDE

“Allen is a great company to have on your side. They are very attentive to the details and track them meticulously while sharing them with homeowners. They will ask for your opinion on things and do not try to override your choices. If your choices are not doable, they will kindly let you know what else can be done for a workaround.

Besides hiring and keeping long-time, super knowledgeable employees, they can and do make suggestions that homeowners might not have considered.

Perhaps the most important thing was the level of perfection to make what you wanted, and if not what you envisioned, they would change it for you. It should also be added that the friendly and hardworking construction workers on the site were indispensable to success.

My wife and daughter are outright pinpoint perfectionists and I am not far behind. Allen met and exceeded all expectations and now we have our dream home. I would give them 6 stars out of 5.” ~ Dave J

THE COMMITMENT, INTEGRITY, AND EXPERTISE OF ALLEN CONSTRUCTION IS UNMATCHED

“In 2017, our family home was lost in the Thomas Fire, but out of that devastation and sadness came our later association with Allen Construction. We now marvel at our good fortune. From the very outset and through the entire process, the management and supervision of our project by the Allen Team was remarkable. Every phase of construction was planned, organized, clearly communicated, and decisively dispatched. We especially appreciate that the Allen Team uses their experience to establish long-term relationships and contract with other highly-qualified professionals, so providing both superior workmanship and support of the local community.

Now as we settle into our new home, we gaze about in wonder and admiration, noticing anew the myriad architectural features, the exquisite design, the careful attention to detail, the superb craftsmanship and construction. Perhaps it is due to Allen Construction being an employee-owned company that explains the unusual degree of personal interest and attention given to the build by members of the Allen Team. The commitment, integrity, and expertise of Allen Construction is unmatched. Our new home was built to exacting standards - safe, solid, secure. A home we deem welcoming, comfortable and all-in-all rather spectacular.” ~ Lucinda R.

OUR ALLEN TEAM WAS PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND SUPPORTIVE

“We are so grateful to Allen Construction for their guidance and expertise throughout the rebuilding of our home. From the large scope to the minor details, our Allen Team was professional, knowledgeable and supportive. They have been a pleasure to work with, and we are grateful for their part in helping our family move back home!” ~ Tracy D

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM MORE HIGHLY

Allen construction restored my mud damaged home in very difficult conditions. They also accommodated endless insurance company demands. Some of my neighbors were "fired" by their contractors due to the burden of insurance hassles. Allen Construction absorbed this overhead and were remarkably patient with the bank's payment "schedule" (more like non-payment). I cannot recommend them more highly. The most important part of working with Allen Construction was the integrity of each person in my home. Matthew Caligiure, Ian Cronshaw, Alain, Zach and countless subcontractors were all trusted and proved themselves every day.” ~ Steve M

EVERYONE AT ALLEN CONSTRUCTION IS A PRO AND THEY ARE SO VERY NICE!

“Everyone at Allen Construction is a pro and they are so very nice! We added a media room to our midcentury house and they were on top of it from day one. The work is top quality, all the people who came to the house were terrific, and the work was done on time! We can't say enough good things about Brett, Matt, Ian, Nancy, and all the rest of the folks at Allen.” ~ Wendy B

ALLEN IS THE BEST ONE YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

“I will recommend [Allen] and no one else when I hear of anyone who wants a [construction] project. If they ask if there is another recommendation, I will honestly say, Allen is the best one you will find anywhere. No exceptions. They will work with you and listen with open minds. They will care about you and your project. Their way is to make you happy. That is what makes them happy.” ~ David J

WE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH ALLEN CONSTRUCTION

“We couldn't be happier with Allen Construction. They are exceptionally nice people, and very professional. They not only did a great job rebuilding our house after a major mudslide, but they expertly navigated the complicated permitting and inspection processes. The reconstruction of damaged areas and the remodeling on other parts of the house were seamless.” ~ Roger R

EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY

“Allen built our architect’s vision. Everything was restored…it looked as if nothing happened. Every single thing they do is of the highest quality. It’s almost emotional to think about it, to have companies that care that much and have the talent they do.” ~ Erika C

THEY WILL NOT LET YOU MAKE A MISTAKE

“If I were to do another construction project it would definitely be with Allen Construction. They stay on schedule, keep the project moving forward, and will not let you make a mistake. They have the expertise to deal with changes and unexpected problems.” ~ Terrell C

YOU HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WORKING FOR YOU

“We want to express our thanks to everyone at Allen Construction for all the help you gave us and the work you did on our house after the [Montecito] debris flow. We truly don’t know what we would have done without you. You have wonderful people working for you and we are so fortunate that you came to our rescue.” ~ Sara H

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WERE THE BEST EVER

“In this day and age everyone is trying to take advantage of you, but I was very satisfied with the fact that they took the extra step and went above and beyond my expectations. The people involved were the best ever.” ~ Jeff K

EMPLOYEES EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AHEAD OF TIME, SO THAT I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT

“The employees explained everything ahead of time, so that I knew what to expect. I liked using one company for multiple projects. They accommodated my availability.” ~ Mary H

 

WONDERFUL STAFF

“Wonderful staff in terms of personality, quality of work, keeping us informed, being willing to go “second miles” to solve problems.” ~ Fred E 

GREAT COMMUNICATION AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL

“Not only did they take very good care of our home with excellent craftsmanship, they made sure we were involved throughout the process with great communication and attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with the end result! Should we ever need another trusted builder, the team at Allen Construction will be our first call – they should be yours as well!” ~ Shauna W

THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT

“If you're looking for a contractor who acts as a true partner, who takes on your project with excitement and expertise, hire Allen Construction. Their process of getting to know your project, your personal constraints or concerns, and finding a way to make things happen will set your mind at ease. They will not disappoint.” ~ Annie W
