Design center on Las Positas RdLas Positas Rd
Founder Jerry Jaimes and a team of nearly 20 designers, tradespeople and project managers handle your remodel from first sketch to final cleaning. You get one point of contact, not a string of subcontractors.
ELITE Remodels offers kitchen remodeling in Santa Barbara the way a good hotel runs a stay: one team looks after everything. Designers, material selection, permits, construction and professional cleaning all sit under one roof at the design center on Las Positas Road. One person at ELITE stays your contact from start to finish.
Their tagline sums up what clients are buying: no chasing contractors, no surprise costs, no chaos in your home. Past clients from Hope Ranch to Solvang say their kitchens came in on time and on budget, and many come back for a bathroom next. On Google the firm holds 4.9 stars across 165 reviews.
Full kitchen design and build, from moving appliances and adding walk-in pantries to cabinetry, stone counters, tile, plumbing and electrical. Styles range from Modern Mediterranean and Santa Barbara Spanish to Mid-Century Modern and Modern Farmhouse. You see the design rendered before construction starts.
Bathrooms taken past a finish update into a calm, spa-like room: new layout where it helps, walk-in showers, tubs, tile, vanities, lighting and plumbing. Google reviewers mention bathroom remodels more than any other project, including primary baths and a guest bath done in true Santa Barbara Spanish style.
For cosmetic and finish-level work that wraps up in weeks, not months: partial kitchen or bath refreshes, tub-to-shower conversions, new counters and backsplashes, cabinet refacing and vanity swaps. Same designers, same craftspeople and the same 5-year craftsmanship warranty as a full remodel.
The team goes beyond the kitchen and bath when a home needs it: built-in cabinetry and shelving, fireplace surrounds, closet systems, laundry rooms, new flooring and additions. A Goleta couple had ELITE handle construction, flooring and painting alongside their kitchen, two baths and fireplaces.
Design, materials, planning and construction stay with one in-house team. One client said everything was decided, purchased and in place before demolition, so the build ran smoothly from demo to finish.
The design center at 2267 Las Positas Rd is open weekdays and Saturdays. You can touch finishes, meet a designer and see your plan before anything is ordered.
ELITE backs its work with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty, and its craftsmen are insured and bonded. The warranty applies to smaller REFRESH projects as well as full design-build remodels.
Several past clients started with a bathroom and hired ELITE again for the kitchen right after. Google reviewers point to the designers, the friendly crew and tile work.
Jerry Jaimes started ELITE nearly 20 years ago as a small home-repair business and grew it into a full design-and-build firm. A stay at a five-star hotel, where every staff member focused on service, shaped what he calls a concierge approach to remodeling.
Today his in-house team of nearly 20 includes designers, licensed tradespeople and project managers. Designer Grace Gambetta is a fifth-generation Santa Barbara native who grew up on her father's job sites.
Designer Jane spent nearly 20 years in custom wood flooring and specializes in custom cabinet design.

Our kitchen remodeling experience with Elite was truly as good as it gets. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, organized, and thoughtfully managed.
We hired Elite for a complete bathroom remodel and had a great experience from start to finish.
I cannot say enough great things about Elite Remodels! Honestly, I've been completely shocked at how fantastic our experience has been!
No. ELITE's in-house team covers design, materials, project management and construction. A single ELITE contact guides you from the opening sketch through the last cleanup, so there is no chasing separate trades or passing messages between a designer and a builder.
REFRESH covers cosmetic and finish-level work like new counters, backsplashes, vanities or a tub-to-shower conversion. If your project moves walls, changes the layout, adds square footage or needs construction drawings, a full design-build remodel is the better fit. Schedule a consultation and the team will tell you which one.
ELITE provides a 5-year craftsmanship warranty. It applies to full design-build remodels and to smaller REFRESH projects alike. The craftsmen who do the work are part of ELITE's own insured and bonded in-house team rather than outside crews brought in for your job.
Yes. The design center is at 2267 Las Positas Rd in Santa Barbara. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Dropping in is a good way to meet a designer and see finishes before you plan.
Staying on budget is the point clients raise most in their testimonials. Kitchens in Summerland, on the Riviera and in Rancho Embarcadero came in on budget, and one owner said there were no surprises. Planning and buying materials before demolition is a big part of how the team keeps costs steady.
