Full-Home Renovation & Design-Build Remodeling
Kellow Construction provides high end home remodeling services in Santa Barbara and Montecito for homeowners planning comprehensive, design led renovations. As a trusted Santa Barbara home remodeling contractor, we specialize in projects that go beyond single room updates, reimagining how the entire home functions, flows, and feels.
Our home remodel service is ideal for clients undertaking a full home renovation, major layout changes, or multi space remodels that require thoughtful planning, architectural coordination, and disciplined execution.
What Defines a Kellow Construction Home Remodel
Unlike kitchen or bathroom remodels, a home remodel addresses the house as a complete system. These projects often involve multiple spaces, structural changes, and long-term planning, making experience, process, and design leadership essential.
Our home remodeling service commonly includes:
Whole house renovations and phased remodels
Structural modifications and reconfiguration
Coordinated updates across kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and bedrooms
Architectural restoration and modernization
Systems upgrades integrated into a cohesive plan
As a design build home remodeling contractor, we ensure that every decision supports both the overall vision and the practical realities of construction.
A Design-Build Process Built for Complex Remodels
Home remodeling requires more than construction expertise, it requires foresight, coordination, and design clarity from the very beginning.
Our design-build model brings design, planning, and construction under one roof, allowing us to:
Evaluate feasibility early
Align design intent with execution
Reduce uncertainty during construction
Maintain continuity from concept through completion
Clients benefit from a guided, transparent experience where decisions are made intentionally and the process feels structured, not reactive.
Full-Home Renovation with Long Term Vision
A full-home renovation is an opportunity to create a home that reflects how you live today while respecting the character of the original structure, especially in Santa Barbara and Montecito, where architectural context matters.
Through a comprehensive home remodel, clients often seek to:
Improve flow, light, and spatial relationships
Create design cohesion throughout the home
Modernize systems for comfort and performance
Adapt spaces for evolving family needs
Preserve and elevate architectural details
As an experienced home remodeler in Santa Barbara, our role is to guide these decisions with clarity, care, and craftsmanship.

What Clients Say About Our House Remodeling Services?

Kiel and his team are nothing short of phenomenal. I cannot recommend Kellow Construction to anyone interested in breathing new and intentional life into their current space enough. They navigated the complex space guiding of a first time homeowner/renovator by balancing empathy with unbeatable expertise — setting the bar extremely high from the get-go.
Matt Fratus
We had a fantastic overall experience with Kellow Construction on the structurally complex remodel of our historic home, a former barn built in 1888. From the tip of the roof to the foundation, Kiel and team not only have the construction expertise that brought our old house back to life for another 100+ years, but are also talented at design and did beautiful finish work that went beyond our expectations.
Shel and Alci Miller
We highly recommend Kellow Construction! It has been a pleasure working with Kiel and the KC team. We decided to embark in a long distance full renovation and modernization of a 1970 cottage. After our first meeting we felt we could trust the KC team for the work to be executed perfectly. Their values of Excellence, Honesty, Professionalism and Responsiveness were in full display during the whole process.
