What People are saying…
“I have worked with Morgan Mainz on and off for nearly 20 years and in that time I have found his level of service and his dedication to his work entirely unprecedented. Morgan was the General Contractor for the Brophy's On the Alley remodel. He demonstrated the quality of his work and the depths of his knowledge every step of the way on this project, from planning and permitting to the unique design suggestions he brought forward to the beautiful handcrafted woodwork he brought to the finished project. The combination of his eye for design, attention to detail and dedication to quality are not something you will find anywhere else in Santa Barbara. In addition to the quality of his work Morgan has a history of coming in on budget and I have always found him to be transparent and honest in his book keeping. I could not be happier with the work that Morgan has accomplished for me in the past and I look forward to working with him and his team again in the future.”

“Mainz builders did an outstanding job. I purchased the old color wheel building on Haley downtown and needed the entire property overhauled into a modern commercial kitchen with three walk ins, grease trap, plumbing that went 11 feet under the full length of the building, two story warehouse, six offices, a lobby, a conference room, fleet parking area and all handicap additions. Just the signage was a beast, not to mention the hoops the city, fire and health department put him through. What was basically a big empty building is now a magical place to conduct our business. He came through Olympic Class on time and in budget. I could not have done better. With a big project you need someone who knows how to get things done in Santa Barbara, it will always be far more complicated than you think and Morgan was a construction ninja!”

“We have been fortunate to work with Morgan and his team over several years as they built our dream house. The process from start to finish was financially open, candid and disciplined. It was clear from the start that the build is much more to the Mainz team than just getting it done but rather exceeding expectations and excelling in the details that turn a house build into an unforgettable home. Our build was incredibly complex…splay faults, expansion clays and over seventy support columns drilled 30 feet into bedrock with the entire build area and pool floating on grade beams. The build came out on budget and time. Couldn’t have asked for a better construction experience and would recommend the Mainz team without reservation for building the project of your dreams.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Mainz Builders for a major home project that essentially involved tearing down and rebuilding our house. From the start, the team was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with. Even during the challenging times of Covid, when resources were hard to come by, they managed to complete the project on time without any delays. What stood out to me most was their commitment to quality—no shortcuts were ever taken, and it shows in the finished product. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout the house. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result, and I can't recommend Mainz Builders enough.”

"When I purchased an architecturally significant, 1968 home in the hedgerows, I was intent on finding a contractor aligned with my vision of a hybrid restoration/renovation of the property. Of the five contractors I interviewed, Morgan was the only one who really understood and respected my desire to preserve the design of the house while also bringing it up to current environmental and comfort standards. Perhaps because Morgan and his family are from the area and respect the heritage of Montecito, he and his team worked with the house rather than against it. They leaned into the challenge of an historic home, researched the time period, worked well with me and my designer, and helped me realize my vision of bringing back the home and property. I have to call out his foreman and his tile sub, who were both above-and-beyond with their creativity, problem-solving, attention, quality of work, and client management.”
