Note: This review is based solely on my consultation process…read more Chris is a rare gem! I reached out to Chris about an old painting of mine with significant sentimental value. He was incredibly professional, honest, and thoughtful. He took the time to review photos, ask questions, and even conducted his own research on the artist and market value - this totally surprised me in the best way possible. I can tell Chris is an upstanding and deeply considerate professional. His expert advice truly put my mind at ease. For now, I'm pausing on the restoration, but I'm looking into refreshing the framing per his suggestion. He even recommended a framing specialist he trusts nearby where I live, which was such a sweet surprise. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable who leads with such grounded transparency, especially when art can be so emotional. Chris really cares about the time and effort involved for everyone. There are a lot of great reviews on here, but I wanted to really speak to his KINDNESS just from our initial interactions. I'll definitely be returning to him when I'm ready to move forward with conservation!

From start to finish, the entire team was reliable, on time, and within budget--something truly rare in construction. The management team, Jeff, Vitt and Justin, were fantastic partners throughout the process. Their architect, Valerie took all of our ideas and turned them into a design that exceeded our expectations, creating the dream home we hoped for. They guided us through key decisions, from fixtures to finishes, and connected us with excellent local suppliers like Mission Tiles in Soquel. They utilized Oxford Cabinets, who created an amazing custom kitchen and dry bar for us that perfectly complements our open-plan dining, kitchen, and living area. Their craftsmanship truly elevated the space. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend this team to anyone considering a custom home.

Jeff visited us for a sunroom project, he said he could do it but he recommended instead another company that specializes in sunrooms and would be much cheaper. A few months later, when we decided to remodel our master bathroom, we called Jeff because he had earned our trust. Everyone delivered stellar service and top quality work and on time! Justin, the foreman is as precise as a Swiss clock. He kept me informed about everything without me worrying about anything. If I texted him a question, he would respond immediately. Vit is a genius, he can walk around and juggle the numbers in his sleep, he made some awesome recommendations when we were not sure, he is incredibly knowledgeable. Jose is strong enough to demolish your bathroom, but he can build a beautiful new one and always with a smile. Chris is quiet but he is obsessed with precision and let me tell you, that is ok with me. Raoul is the Da Vinci of the group, he does the electrical, the plumbing and can tackle anything, his talent is impressive. All the subcontractors were polite, on time, respectful and efficient, this is why you pay Costa Bella to do the work, they provide top notch workers and they deliver! I can't believe what I am about to say: They were all like family and they will be missed!
