It may be as simple as flipping on the AC, but more energy saving alternatives can be used. Utilizing alternative cooling…

My husband and I live in a 3,200 square foot house with our two sons. We wanted to remodel our entire home. That included the master bath, master bedroom, kitchen, dining room and adding two master walk-in closets. We were unsure of which builder to use. Then we were referred to Artifex by some friends who had just used them to build a second story addition.

I was skeptical but after talking to them we decided to go ahead with the project. They did an amazing job and our house turned out better then we first imagined. The job turned out to be bigger then we first planned because we made several changes. Artifex was really helpful during the changes. Our house really looks great!

I highly recommend Artifex.

Thank you for your efforts in our bathroom remodel. The project was completed in a timely fashion and was on budget. We were off a bit on the big window, but you were able to get what we wanted for a fair price and it turned out great. And not just the big pressed/cubed glass window; from the tile floor to the recessed lighting in the ceiling, my wife and I are very happy. Now we’re thinking about doing the other bath and we’ll call for your services once again.

Thanks Artifex for your help, always the professional, too.

I needed to install a washer/dryer in one of my bathrooms. Artifex did the job very quickly and it cost less than my usual contractor’s bid. The shower was removed and the washer/dryer replaced it. They also converted the bathtub into a shower/bathtub. The workmanship is excellent and we really liked the craftsman they sent out.

Thank you Artifex.

My company built quality custom homes for more than 30 years. I am now retired so hired a contractor to convert my 3,000 sq. ft. barn into a living space.

We had some unusual requirement that made finding the right contractor challenging. Finally I found Artifex. We have only the best things to say about them. The work they did was up to my standards and completed on time. They are honest, hardworking and took the time to give me exactly what I asked for. They gave us a very competitive bid and then finished the work within budget!

We are going to use them to build a new home on our Arroyo Grande Ranch.

I’ve been a paraplegic for 35 years and use a wheelchair. During this time I have made do with standard bathrooms. As I’ve grown older it has become more difficult to get by without an accessible bathroom.

I hired Artifex to make my bathroom accessible. They did an excellent job in redoing / renovating / remodeling my existing bathroom into an accessible bathroom. In so doing, Artifex accomplished this without making my bathroom look like a hospital or convalescent home. The space looks like a high end hotel bathroom while still meeting the needs of a wheelchair. The space works equally well for my wife who is able-bodied. After all these years of making do, it is nice to be able to move and shower easily in this space.

The work Artifex did not only improves the quality of my life, but looks outstanding. A fine combination of form and function.
