Kraz Construction

Ranch Hands Construction operates as a general contractor from its base in Buellton. The company handles remodeling and repairs across Carmel, Monterey, Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. It has offered these services since 2013 and takes on projects from small fixes to full home remodels, including kitchens, bathrooms, decks, fences, windows, doors, flooring, electrical work, plumbing, additions and ADUs.

Customers have hired the crew for bathroom remodels where workers checked details at each step and sorted out plumbing surprises on the spot. Others brought them in to paint entire houses while spotting and fixing extra issues along the way. Small jobs such as hanging heavy mirrors, installing blinds, refinishing doors and gates, putting up Christmas lights, and replacing an old shed also show up in the feedback. Technicians including Zack, Skylor, Daniel, Arthur, Ricky, Nick, Ben and Vubang get named for their part in these tasks.

Reviewers say the crews arrive on time, keep the work area clean at the end of each day, and talk through changes or problems as they come up. They provide firm prices for the whole job rather than charging by the hour, and the manager stays responsive on most calls. The service reaches the Monterey Peninsula and Santa Barbara County spots, with the main location listed in Buellton.

The company carries a 4.6 Google rating and a long list of five-star notes on craftsmanship, clean sites and steady communication. A couple of reviews point out delays when trying to get estimates back or jobs that ran longer than first planned.

“We hired Ranch Hands Construction to do an extensive remodel of our primary bathroom. We selected them after getting bids from 3 other contractors. Communications with RHC was exceptional. They showed up on time everyday and always cleaned up their work area before leaving. At every step of construction they verified with us details on how we wanted things. They partnered with us when handling unexpected issues with plumbing and cabinets that arrived with wrong pieces that needed to be exchanged with the vendor. But above all their craftsmanship is top notch and they are truly nice people to work with.”

“We are very happy with every aspect of this company. The crew that worked on our house was awesome, and made sure everything was done to perfection and kept us informed every step of the way. They were on the job as soon as I agreed to the quote. they not ONLY painted our house, but pointed out and repaired anything that needed attention. We will definitely use them again if we need anything done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️”

“I am so grateful that I found Ranch Hands Construction! I had so many little projects that I needed help with around the house and I haven’t known who to call. I was so impressed with their professionalism and quality work. I think it’s highly unusual to have workers actually do a better job than they promise! Now I’m talking to them about working on a bigger project that has been a dream of mine for years. I highly recommend a Ranch Hands Construction! “ Better than a boyfriend!” I can’t believe the amazing job Ranch Hands did on my shed! It has been a long awaited dream to replace my old shed with a new one and they did a perfect job in less than a week! Working with Ranch Hands is better than asking any boyfriend I’ve ever had because they do such a professional job and they are quick, tidy and easy to work with. I will be calling ranch hands for all my future household projects!”

“All the work they did, which took twice as long as it should have then all had to be redone correctly - Be careful and get multiple bids and second and third opinions from qualified professionals.”

“Ranch Hands Construction has provided several services in my house over the last few years. The great thing is, they really do provide all types of construction services. The crews are always prompt, professional and courteous. They leave the space tidy at the end of each day and clean up when the job is complete. I often recommend them to friends and will continue to use the company.”

“We used Ranch Hands for 6 projects, big and small: hanging a heavy 8-foot tall mirror, installing a window blind, replacing weather stripping under a door, and refinishing double garage doors, a regular door, and a big metal and wood gate. Every project was done meticulously with beautiful results. I met at least five different team members, and they were uniformly polite and considerate, cleaned up after themselves so that you never knew they were there, and took pride in their work. The manager was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Rather than paying an hourly rate you will receive a firm price for the job, so that you know in advance exactly what your cost will be. They didn’t cut corners, and they used quality products. I will definitely use Ranch Hands again without even trying to get other bids and highly recommend them.”

“Zack and Skylor were great. They were friendly, efficient, and had a "can do" attitude which was greatly appreciated. They handled our items with care and left with a smile. We are very happy with Ranch Hands Construction and would use them again.”

“Google reviews seemed to indicate a good company. I tried to get in touch with Ranch Hands and after a week was able to get a response. Then we scheduled a visit for estimates on some projects at our house. Then after a 1.5 weeks I call to get a follow up. Nothing. I try for a month of calling to see the status and continually getting a "we're working on it, sorry" still nothing. I can totally understand if they're busy or if they are overbooked, I just wish I would admit that instead of playing games and wasting time. Seems unprofessional, and makes me wonder about their ability to complete jobs on time. With all the other options available look elsewhere.”

“I have really enjoyed working with Daniel, Arthur, Ricky and Nick. Daniel responded to our needs and completed a job efficiently. I highly recommend them for various jobs that need to be done around your home. Daniel put up the Christmas lights around my house and he did a beautiful job. I am looking forward to a continued relationship with RHC.”

“Ben and Vubang came to do some work on my house. Ben was very knowledgeable and when needed assistance from a contractor due to a faulty fan that was out of their control, the contractor was available immediately. They showed up on time, we’re very respectful, completed the work professionally. I highly recommend their services.”

“We were very happy with their work. They were competent, friendly, clean & we’ll definitely call RHC again!”

“Have a crazy neighbor we had to shut out. Called Ranch Hands and they came out THE NEXT DAY. Very friendly and kind. Make sure you ask all the questions.”

“Got the job done in a timely matter. And was responsive from first contact. Over all came out great. If needed I would call again.”

“The guys at ranch hands weee very professional, helpful and helped me on a day that would have been very stressful for me.. it made my day and I would highly recommend”

“Great communication from start to finish and quality work done. Would recommend to others and hire again in the future for other jobs”
