CXC Contracting

We just had CXC retrofit the foundation of our 1920 home in Santa Barbara and they did an amazing super job. The house was built on hollow concrete blocks and before they could install the hardware to tie the house to the foundation, they actually filled all the hollow blocks so they would firmly hold the hardware, Very thorough and a solution custom fit to our needs.
The guys who did the work were super the owner Will was a dream to work with. Fair, smart and really nice and thoughtful.
I would recommend this company most highly.

Will is honest and ethical which is a lot more than can be said about a lot of people in his business. All in all, just a pleasure to do business with.

CXC removed a section of our driveway and re-​poured it. They also did some brickwork along the edge of the driveway. Will gave us a quote immediately and began work the next week. His crew was very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He was always here. or nearby, to supervise. When he was finished, Will told me to contact him if I was not satisfied with somehing or if any problrms came up. I will definitely contact him for future projects that we are considering.

His strength lies in foundation work, not in detail orientated finishing remodeling work.

We are super pleased with Will and CXC for our master bedroom addition. They did a great job on schedule and were very detail oriented.

CXC did a seismic retrofit of our mid-1960’s single-​story house. This involved punching through the stucco at intervals around the exterior walls to bolt the frame down onto the foundation. The work is messy by definition, but at the end of each day Will’s crew policed up the area and kept their materials collected up in one corner of the yard. The stucco was left in paint-​ready condition and the finished job looks great.
Will’s personal touch is a big plus. He walked the house with me when he came over for an estimate, and answered all of questions. He made sure to give me enough of an education that I understood what was and wasn’t necessary to accomplish our goals. He also worked with us on the scheduling, took care of the permit with the City, and was always responsive to questions or concerns. We have more projects planned next year and will definitely be calling Will again.

Will at CXC is a rare individual… an honest, reasonably priced, and ethical contractor. He responded quickly to my email and came out the next day to give a free estimate. He has completed our foundation repair and even cleaned up afterwards. Will also gave us valuable advice on other repairs we need to do. I was skeptical of all the five stars on Unilocal… but they were right about Will. If we could give him ten stars we would… thanks Will.

These guys had a small job and they did outstanding. They showed up on time and left our house clean. Another thing is they actually pick up their phone when it rings! I was not present when they did the job so I called them a couple if times to make sure everything was good. I highly recommend these guys!

I found Will on the internet, and called about water damage to foundation and to a wall, and a sinking problem. He came promptly, diagnosed the problem and made a proposal. His crew came promptly, made a thorough inspection, and started work. Inspection disclosed another problem, no surprise because Will had noted that it might exist. The work was done amazingly fast, within the scheduled time. Debris was removed and the job site cleaned every day.
The work was completed on time, and for a very fair price. Will suggested an alternative for one job with a substantial saving.
I unreservedly recommend CXC Contracting and Will for clarity, integrity, punctuality, and work of the highest standard of quality.

Absolutely terrific!
Contacted Will about a small job that I needed help with and within less than a few hours he came by to check it out. All I needed was a small slab of concrete (old fireplace) removed. He quoted me a fantastic price and got to work the next day!
Will was courteous and professional right from the start. His quote was straight forward and honest. During the entire project I was at work and Will kept me updated every step of the way. Will kept with his original quote and was so kind to work on such a small scale project, he really came through for me and my needs.
The finished product was above my expectations and I am VERY happy I found CXC Contracting. I have his phone number saved for any and all future projects.

Will’s crew worked on a Saturday to accommodate our needs. They showed up on time, and only took a quick lunch break. They worker furiously to get the leveling of our floors completed. One could tell they’ve worked together as it seemed all about team work.
Do yourself a favor: don’t hire a handyman who swears he has the experience to level you floors. We threw $ 5,000 down the drain, and the floors remained the same as they were when he started. Hire someone who knows what they’re doing!
A few more things need completed on this 1923 cottage, and I will not hesitate to call them out!
Thank you, Will, for getting this done for us!

Will did an amazing job on a very unique/​custom job that required multiple phases. It involved custom framing, concrete/​masonry, stucco, and debris removal. The price was unbeatable and came in well under other bids. I look forward to using CXC again for future projects.

I called Will to get an estimate on earthquake retrofitting my house in Ojai, and he came out that day. He was very professional, personable, and straightforward, and the price was fair. When we needed to move the date of the job due to weather, he stayed in good communication with me, and got the job done in a timely manner on the weekend. He did everything he said he would do. It was simple and easy, a good experience.

Called Will on a Saturday to come over and provide an assessment of my sinking garage. Will explained that he was in the middle of moving his office, but would come over *that day* and take a look at the problem (wow). He was there within a half hour, and took the time to explain exactly what we needed to better support 4 – 5 points under my house where the footings required add’l support. We have a lot of prep work to do prior to calling Will again, but first impressions matter. He was awesome — attentive, well versed in the foundation field, and on time (actually early)! :)

I contacted CXC through a local «home improvement» magazine. Will Crawford showed up on time to give me an estimate for the work I needed. I recently had a large tree removed from my yard and the root system cracked the floor of my garage as well as lifted a part of my front walkway. Will measured everything and gave me an estimate. I priced the job through another contractor and Will’s numbers were very good. I gave him the okay to start and he showed up on time with his guys. The root system under the garage floor was very extensive (probably more than he had anticipated) but his men worked diligently (in the extreme heat) to remove any root that was in the way of the repair. When the job was completed, there was an issue with some water running back into the garage (instead of draining out) which Will quickly offered to repair. He came out twice to level the job but ultimately had to cut a section and replace it. He did a great job and showed incredible integrity and commitment to fixing this until it was right. He is friendly, respectful and courteous. I highly recommend CXC and Will Crawford.
