in Goleta, CA
Goleta (from the Old Town to Isla Vista and the UCSB-adjacent neighborhoods to Hollister Ranch) is one of Cedar Sun's largest service areas in Santa Barbara County.
About our work in Goleta
Why homeowners in Goleta choose Cedar Sun.
Goleta has a wider housing mix than most South Santa Barbara cities. The Old Town craftsman and Spanish Revival homes. The Ellwood, Storke, and Cathedral Oaks tracts from the 60s and 70s. Newer infill near UCSB and Isla Vista. The larger parcels in the foothills above Cathedral Oaks. We do whole-home remodels, ADUs (high demand near UCSB for both family use and student rental), kitchen and bath renovations, and ground-up custom builds. The City of Goleta has its own Planning and Building department (separate from the county since incorporation in 2002) and is generally efficient on residential permits. ADUs are state-streamlined and move faster than full additions or new builds.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Goleta construction.
Do you build ADUs near UCSB for student housing?
Yes. Goleta's ADU rules are state-streamlined, and the rental demand near UCSB makes ADUs one of the better returns on a residential investment in this market. We handle the design, permits, and full build.
Can you remodel an Old Town Goleta home?
Yes. The 1900s through 20s craftsman and Spanish Revival homes in Old Town Goleta are some of our favorite restoration projects. We work within Goleta's design review process and source period-correct materials when needed.
Do you work in Hollister Ranch or the foothills?
Yes. Hollister Ranch is private and access is restricted. We coordinate with the ranch's homeowner association on every project. The Cathedral Oaks foothill parcels are under city or county jurisdiction depending on lot location, and we handle either.
Do you serve Isla Vista and the communities around Goleta?
Yes. Our Goleta service area covers the surrounding communities as well, including Isla Vista and the UCSB area, and west along the coast toward El Capitan and Gaviota. Free estimates anywhere in southern Santa Barbara County.
