Our partnership started on a rugby field, where we learned the value of skill, hard work and collaboration. When we met, Eric was an engineer in the high tech automation industry and Craig had recently completed a demanding four-year building apprenticeship program in New Zealand, his native country, where construction standards are high and workers are known for their obsessive dedication to excellence.
We saw an opportunity to use our unique skill sets to form a partnership off the field and create a new type of construction company that makes remodeling less stressful and more transparent. For more than two decades, we have provided high-quality kitchen remodels, bath renovations, and additions to Santa Cruz County homeowners.

Services
Elite Construction provides high-quality kitchen remodels, bath renovations, and additions to Santa Cruz County homeowners. We're proud of our reputation as one of Santa Cruz County's finest contractors - we've earned it. We strike a balance between quality and cost, so you get high quality craftsmanship without breaking the bank.
We believe transparency and trust go hand in hand. We include a complete breakdown of labor, materials and subcontractors costs, so that you have an exact understanding of where your money is being spent. This is what a typical Income/rental property remodel might cost. We don't work on projects at this level, but if you shop around you can find contractors that do.
Our goal is provide you with as much information as possible so you can create your ideal space without breaking the bank or losing your mind. From the start of the bid process to the completion of the project, Elite bends over backwards with their exemplary customer service and workmanship. We are beyond thrilled with the results!

I called Eric w/ Elite because I was in a jamb. I asked him to help with a commercial property even though he stated they work in residential. After explaining my situation (Wildfires) he understood and decided to try and help us out. Not only did he jump on it immediately but also returned some of the best work we've seen. I highly recommend Eric and Elite; he obviously has his heart in the right place and knows exactly what he is doing.

Over approximately 10 weeks, the Elite Construction team transformed my small bathroom space into something magnificent! A space beyond my wildest dreams. The detail of their work was precise and the quality was exceptional. Honesty, integrity, professionalism, and exceptional workmanship are qualities I’d use to describe my experience with the entire Elite Construction team. This is a locally owned business, invested in the community, that I can highly recommend. I’m looking forward to partnering with their team again in the future to remodel my kitchen.

Eric, Craig, Loren & the rest of the Elite Construction Team are phenomenal to work with. I interviewed 5 different contractors when originally taking bids on the renovation of a duplex in Santa Cruz. Of the 5 bids, Eric's definitely wasn't the cheapest, but he passed my initial questions with flying colors, and has the most experience in the type of renovation project that I was working on. He also offered a lot of insight that I hadn't thought of even before I accepted his bid that actually made up for the cost difference in and of itself.

We had an unfortunate medical situation in the family that necessitated an immediate remodel of our downstairs bathroom to meet the new needs of a family member who suddenly found themselves disabled and in a wheelchair. I contacted many construction firms in the area, but received few real responses. As soon as I reached out to Eric explaining the urgency of the situation, he responded to me within just a few hours and immediately engaged his team to begin a design and quotation for the work. It's really a breath of fresh air to find people in the the business who are responsive, empathetic, and
