Personalized Service
You deal with Martin and one project manager — not a call center and not a rotating cast of subs who have never seen your job.

Meet Martin
Built On Trust.
Built On Trust.
Driven By Pride.
I started Home Solutions Construction Inc. with one goal: to treat every home like it’s my own. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I take pride in delivering quality work, honest communication, and results that last.
Before this was a company it was just me and a truck, doing framing and remodels for neighbors around Santa Maria. What grew the business was not advertising — it was people telling their friends that we showed up when we said we would and finished what we started.
That is still the whole standard. Every project gets a crew that shows up, a schedule you can hold me to, and a finish I would be happy to put my name on. Because I do.

Our Story
How We Got Here
Before the company
A Truck and a Skill Saw
Martin started out doing framing and remodels for neighbors around Santa Maria. No advertising, no website — just work that got talked about.
15+ years
Learning Every Trade on the Job
Framing, carpentry, tile, waterproofing, roofing. Time on real job sites is why he can tell you what is behind a wall before it opens.
March 2024
Home Solutions Construction Inc.
The business was formally incorporated in California and licensed with the CSLB as a General Building (Class B) contractor, license #1125128.
Today
Crews Across Two Counties
Kitchens, baths, roofs, ADUs and whole-home renovations from Pismo down to Santa Barbara — still with Martin walking every bid personally.
On site, every day
What We Stand On
How We Run Every Job
Quality Craftsmanship
We self-perform framing, carpentry and waterproofing. The work that fails quietly is the work we refuse to hand off.
Honest Communication
Calls and texts get returned the same day. If something behind the wall changes the plan, you hear it from us with photos, not on the invoice.
On-Time & On-Budget
Written line-item estimates and milestone dates in the contract. Change orders get signed before the work happens, never after.
Licensed & Insured
CSLB #1125128, bonded, with general liability and workers’ compensation on every person who sets foot on your property.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
We build the punch list with you and close it out before final payment — then answer the phone after the check clears.

Credentials
Paperwork You Should Always Ask For
Ask every contractor you interview for these four documents. If they hesitate on any of them, keep interviewing.
- Contractor’s license — CSLB #1125128, General Building (Class B), active
- General liability insurance — certificate provided with every proposal
- Workers’ compensation — so an injury on your property is not your problem
- Contractor’s bond — $25,000, on file with the state
Verify our license yourself at cslb.ca.gov — search license number 1125128.
Straight Talk
What We Are Not
Knowing where a contractor stops is as useful as knowing what they do.
- Not the cheapest bid. We price permits, real allowances and cleanup into the number instead of discovering them later.
- Not a specialty shop. No standalone HVAC service calls, pools, solar-only installs, tree work or septic.
- Not a franchise. Your call is answered locally by the people who will be on your job.
- Not a design firm. We build, and we work alongside your designer or bring in ours when drawings are needed.
- Not everywhere. We stay close enough to the Central Coast to actually show up when you need us.
We Will Talk You Out of Work
If a repair will serve you better than a replacement, we say so. If your layout idea will not pencil, we say so. If selling makes more financial sense than renovating, we have said that too.
We would rather lose a job than build someone something they regret. That is not a sales line — it is why most of our work comes from referrals.
Safety Is Not Optional
Every person on your property is covered by workers’ compensation. If a contractor’s crew is not, an injury on your job can become your liability. Ask for the certificate — from us and from anyone else you interview.
Start to Finish
How the Process Works
Same five steps on every project, from a single bathroom to a ground-up ADU.
Consult
We walk the property, listen to what you want, and talk budget honestly before anything gets drawn.
Design & Bid
Drawings, material selections and a written line-item estimate with allowances stated in dollars.
Permits
We submit to the city or county, handle plan-review corrections and schedule every inspection.
Build
Demo, structure, rough-ins, inspections, finishes — with weekly photo updates.
Walkthrough
We build the punch list with you, close it out, hand over warranties and clean the site.
Where We Work
Serving the Central Coast
We know the building departments, the inspectors and the lead times here — which is why our permits do not sit in a queue for months.

FAQ
About the Company
Who will actually be on my job?
Martin walks every bid personally. From contract through punch list you get one project manager as your single point of contact, plus our own crews on framing, carpentry and waterproofing, and vetted licensed subs on the rest.
How long has the company been around?
Home Solutions Construction Inc. was incorporated in California in March 2024, built on Martin's 15+ years of hands-on residential construction before that. The license and corporate filing are both public record if you want to verify.
Are you really licensed?
Yes — CSLB #1125128, General Building (Class B), active and bonded. Look it up at cslb.ca.gov. We would encourage you to check any contractor you are considering, including us.
What if something goes wrong after the job is done?
Call us. You get a written workmanship warranty plus every manufacturer warranty registered in your name. We answer the phone after the check clears — that is most of the reason our work comes from referrals.
Do you use subcontractors?
For specialty trades, yes — electrical, plumbing beyond our scope, HVAC, stone fabrication. They are licensed, insured and the same people on nearly every job, so they know our standards. Framing, carpentry and waterproofing we do ourselves.
Can I talk to past clients?
Absolutely. Tell us what you are planning and we will connect you with homeowners who had similar work done.
