Reliability. Craftsmanship. Ingenuity.
A licensed Santa Barbara general contractor building remodels, additions, and outdoor spaces with the detail and durability your home deserves — managed personally, start to finish.
We build like it's our own home — because in this town, it might as well be.
Island View Construction has served Santa Barbara and the Central Coast since 2007. From the first concept sketch to the final walkthrough, owner Carlos Gonzalez is personally involved in every project — bringing nearly two decades of craftsmanship to remodels, additions, and outdoor living.
We hold every project to the same standard: quality materials, honest communication, realistic timelines, and a finish that respects the Spanish Colonial character Santa Barbara is known for. No project is too small for careful attention, and none too large for disciplined project management.

Our four-phase process keeps your project on budget, on schedule, and transparent at every step.
Pre-Planning
We define expectations, scope, and a realistic budget before a single nail is driven — building a foundation for success you can measure.
Design & Initiation
Concepts become permit-ready plans. We line up only vetted, licensed subcontractors and confirm materials and timeline.
Execution
Disciplined project management keeps trades coordinated and the site clean, with clear communication through every phase.
Completion
A detailed final walkthrough. The job isn't done until it's done right — and you're completely satisfied.
It's not how well a project starts, but how well it finishes. I'm involved every step of the way — and the drive to complete your project doesn't end until you're completely satisfied.
Proudly serving Santa Barbara & the Central Coast
From the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the coastline, we build for homeowners and businesses across the region — with deep familiarity for local permitting, design review, and the architectural styles that define our community.
