Oswald Construction: Santa Barbara General Contractor & Damage Restoration

Local Business Description

Oswald Construction is a family-owned general contracting firm serving Santa Barbara County since 1984. Founder John Oswald earned his contractor license that year and has operated the business from his home at the top of the northern Montecito mudslide zone for over 25 years. We specialize in damage restoration, mold remediation, and full residential/commercial remodeling—from kitchen and bathroom remodels to custom wine cellars and large custom homes. Having lived through the 2018 Montecito flood and mudslide, John and his team understand firsthand the stress and disruption that water damage brings to local families and businesses. We handle the area’s most common restoration needs: appliance leak damage, monsoon-driven water intrusion, sewage backup cleanup, and river flood damage. Our approach combines immediate emergency response with thorough remediation to prevent mold and structural issues. We serve neighborhoods throughout Santa Barbara, including Montecito, Hope Ranch, and the Mesa. Proximity to landmarks such as the Santa Barbara Mission and State Street ensures quick response times for local properties. Whether you’re rebuilding after a storm or updating a commercial tenant space, Oswald Construction delivers quality work on time and on budget.
