We love our work. And enjoy nothing more than combining innovative solutions with rigorous attention to detail. So, providing the very finest standards of craftsmanship is second nature to us. Yet those high workshop and on-site standards are also matched by our commitment to bring you the finest and most comprehensive service.

From pre-construction right through to post-construction and home maintenance, we pride ourselves on remaining flexible and responsive to the needs to the needs of architects and clients throughout the life of a project. Yet perhaps you should look no further than our long list of appreciative clients - especially those who keep coming back for more. Perhaps that more than anything, is the most telling testimony to D.D. Ford Construction’s success building and remodeling within the Santa Barbara community.

Comment Project Manager Communication Santa Barbara, CA Feb 20, 2012

David was great! He is very detailed, thorough and pleasant. I was updated on daily construction and progress which was important since I was out of town. He carries the high standard that DD Ford portrays.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Montecito, CA Sep 01, 2011

Communication, effort and end results. The reason why is that we got through the project with no frustrations or regrets and are very happy with the result.

Comment PM Professionalism Montecito, CA Sep 01, 2011

Ryan does an exceptional job. In addition to knowing what he is doing, he is friendly, courteous and goes well above and beyond to be sure we are happy with the final product. We felt secure in our initial decision to work with D.D. Ford because of how Ryan presents himself.

Comment Budget Montecito, CA Sep 01, 2011

I have to compliment Val Knezevic (sp?) who worked exceptinoally hard to come up with the budget proposal for our bathroom and future kitchen project. He went out of his way to communicate with us to clarify design points to get the budget right. He also offered clever thoughtful solutions to save us money. He is clearly a strong addition to the D.D. Ford team.

Dave, Steve and Doug were always able to solve problems. The time frame was adhered to and the party was a huge success!! Would be happy to be a reference for them as we are extremely pleased with the finished product.

Comment Additional Comment Montecito, CA Aug 04, 2011

I'm not interested in talking to any other contractor about our projects, although there are small outfits that might save us some money- I'm not sure the savings would be enough to give up the follow-through that an organization like Ford has been able to provide.

Hard issues which had eluded a prior contractor were tackled very methodically and resolved much to my delight.I got to know Ryan Prahm, who represents all that is good about DD Ford - integrity personified - professional, personable, and commited.Hills Sutton, in addition to being a very nice person, is a master craftsman - all that he does, he does well.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

Important Information about choosing a Builder, Remodeler, or Contractor

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.

Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
