Giffin and Crane is a dream come true for a general contractor. Not only were they wonderful people, delightful to deal with and truly talented, BUT, they added tremendous value to our project, making the final outcome better than we could have ever imagined. We got the added benefit of their years of experience. My husband and I can't recommend them highly enough. They truly value their clients and it shows from start to finish.

We purchased a beautiful house which was "tired", having not had major work done on it for over 15 years. Bruce and his team were creative and easy to work with. They remodeled the bathrooms, updated the kitchen, restored a large area of wood paneling, changed lighting and repainted the house (among other things.) This was a three month job, with us out-of state except for two quick visits to inspect progress. The G&C team kept us fully up to date on progress and delivered the result we hoped for - on budget (except for mino... read more

When we bought our dated 1960's ranch home a few years ago, we had a vision to create a beautiful family home with an amazing kitchen at its heart. Giffin and Crane came highly recommended from friends and family, so we hired them to remodel our kitchen and refurbish other areas in our home. We worked closely with Bruce Giffin and Derek Shue from start to finish: they oversaw the inception of the kitchen design and effectively and efficiently facilitated the creation of our dream kitchen! Bruce and Derek proved to be a great... read more

Within days of losing everything in the TEA fire we were faced with decisions regarding finding an Architect, Contractor, and start making the choices it took to replace our home. We contacted Bruce Giffin at Giffin & Crane who we'd known for several years to inquire about how to go about rebuilding. Not believing we could ever afford a Giffin & Crane house, Bruce reassured us that he could help us build us a beautiful Santa Barbara style home within our budget. Bruce introduced us to just the right architect and supervised ... read more

I have worked with Giffen and Crane two times and would welcome the chance to work with them again. Most recently I was the Architect for a pool and hardscape remodel for a project in Montecito and had a chance to work with Bruce and his company. They provided an accurate bid and schedule for the job and produced a high quality, complete project for the client. I was happy with their ability to work with me to resolve a few tricky details and to find just the right sub contractors to provide what we were looking for.

Our home was completely lost in Santa Barbara's Jesusita fire in 2009, and Giffin and Crane was recommended by a plumber friend of ours to do our rebuild. From the very start Bruce Giffin was professional and friendly, and guided us expertly through the rebuilding process. Although we had suffered a personal tragedy, working with Bruce to create our new home actually became an enjoyable and exciting process. Giffin and Crane's attention to detail and obsession with quality was evident at every step of the process. Not only d... read more

Ethical, honest, on time and on budget. Quality work, with a great design sense which lacks with most builders. I would highly recommend this company!!
