Gil came recommended and my wife and I responded very much to his manner, his bid, and his approach not only to the construction but to us, the homeowners. The job entailed a new element to the house on a hillside. The engineering was tricky and weather lousy, but throughout Gil calmly guided us through. A shout out to his team and choice of subs. Friendly, co-operative and highly skilled. My father was a GC, so I understand the job. Gil has the gift of advocating for his clients when issues of additional charges come up, which they always do. Gil lobbied for us and quite often got the overages mitigated. This is a special talent, representing the homeowner who becomes weary of writing checks. We couldn't have made a better choice.

Project: Bathroom Remodel
We recently collaborated with Camacho Construction for a bathroom remodel, and it was truly a fantastic experience! Recommended by our designers, Gilbert and his team not only provided a competitive bid but also delivered workmanship of exceptional quality that surpassed our expectations.
As newcomers to room renovations, we were unsure of what to expect, but Camacho's crew maintained open communication and transparency throughout the project, which eased our minds. Despite having already ordered most of the appliances, tiling, and hardware, the team seamlessly integrated them into their workflow. They kept us informed about any issues that arose and explained them in a clear and understandable manner. Their willingness to brainstorm solutions and guide us through any challenges that arose made the entire process much smoother and less stressful.
We were also impressed by their dedication to maintaining a clean and tidy work area. Each day, they diligently cleaned up after themselves, minimizing disruptions to our daily routine, which was especially important since our main floor only has one bathroom.
Overall, if you're seeking a friendly and dependable contractor, we wholeheartedly recommend Camacho Construction. We wouldn't hesitate to engage them for our future renovation projects!

Project: Reconstruction of front entrance to home
Gilbert was recommended to us as a great contractor and an honest, nice guy. He was all that and more! He and his team demo’d and rebuilt the exterior stairs leading up to our front door, while preserving our wrought iron railing for the rebuild. His bid was fair; his team kind and hard working; and the craftsmanship, attention to detail and expertise exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful!

Project: Total high quality remodel
I met Gilbert Camacho through some friends in Santa Barbara that Gilbert and his team had done remodeling work for them at their home and they told me that Gilbert did a fantastic job and that they highly recommended him. They knew I had a large scale remodeling project planned for my home on the upper east side so they introduced me to Gilbert.
I have designed several complete remodeling projects on the west side of Los Angeles on homes that I purchased and sold before moving up to Santa Barbara several years ago. After meeting with Gilbert about my goals of a total remodel for my home he understood my main goals and the quality level that I expected. When we finished our first meeting I knew he and his team were my next general contractor that I wanted to use to do my remodel.
I have a very specific level of detail that I require of my contractors in my design projects in the past and this project was no different. After a couple of meetings I realized he totally understood my needs and goals so I decided to moved forward with him and his team to do my project.
The project required a new total ground to ceiling upgrade of all the surfaces of my 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. We started with a newly designed and upgraded kitchen, two completely ground up brand new highly upgraded bathrooms and an enlarged library area that expand it from a 1500 book library in the living room up to an addition 1,000 books by adding a custom stand alone stationary book bookshelf in the entry way to increase my library to a total of 2500 books.
This was a very labor and detail intensive remodel of the whole house that took 9 months to fully complete and Gilbert had his crew worked full time to turn my vision into my dream house. I always have lofty goals for my home remodel projects and Gilbert and his whole team turned it into a reality.
Although this was a major project Camacho Construction went above and beyond to make my project one to be proud of and I would whole heartedly recommend Gilbert for any size project when you really want the best work done. He is a honest first rate individual and his communication, commitment and quality of work and finishes were even beyond my lofty expectations!
I highly suggest you meet with Gilbert to discuss your next home project and like me I’m sure you will be very happy you did.

From planning to completion, Gilbert was responsive to our questions, easy to work with, and honest and upfront about costs and project timelines. His subcontractors were top notch, especially for tile, plumbing, and electrical. We were very impressed with their problem solving and willingness to go the extra mile. Thanks Gilbert, we love how our bathroom turned out!

Project: Remodel Single Family Home including Kitchen & Bathrooms
Gilberto and the Camacho team are fantastic. My remodel entailed putting in all new windows, removal of walls & structural work, installing HVAC, a new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, updating a closet, painting interior & exterior and building a deck.
Gilberto was trustworthy, communicative, and proactive. He was creative with problem solving as unexpected issues arose. He subcontractors were as professional as Gilberto. He treated his subcontractors with respect and you could tell they come through for him because of the way he treated them.
I cannot say enough great things about Gilberto. My home came out even better than I could have imagined!

Project: 550 sq ft ADU
Working with with Gilbert and Camacho Construction on our ground-up ADU build was great. He collaborated with us as we adjusted our plans and got them through the city, had really good subs to work with, provided accurate bids and was efficient and timely through the build and inspections. Out of our friends and contacts that have had similar projects, ours working with Gilberto was by far the fastest and least stressful. Thank you!

Gilbert and his crew go above and beyond to see the project through from start to finish. Their knowledge and experience showed when looking at structural changes and ultimately making it better than expected. He took careful care to evaluate any liabilities and strategically take next steps to help us reach our goals. Looking forward to using his team again in the future.

We were so pleased with Camacho Construction - our kitchen looks fantastic! Gilbert is fair, trustworthy, and responsive.

His crew was easy to work with and all a bunch of great guys. I highly recommend Camacho Construction if you are considering a home project.
