Carpinteria & the Santa Barbara coast

The concrete, and everything you build on it.

Diego Carrillo holds two state licenses: one for concrete and one for residential remodeling. The three photographs below are all his, and they are what those two licenses look like in practice.

What one customer said first

“They’ve done everything from concrete work, to building garages, to decks (with amazing support piers), and more. The precision on the concrete work is next level.”

Matt Harding · Google

Two licenses, and they are the two halves of that sentence

C-8 · Concrete

The part that gets poured

Flatwork, steps, walkways, patios and the footings under everything else. One customer calls the precision “perfectly level, perfectly spaced”. Another had a cracked and crumbling patio removed from the front of her house without, as she puts it, any dust getting inside.

B-2 · Residential Remodeling

The part that gets built

The license the state issues for remodeling work across more than one trade. In his photographs that is a pergola over a deck and a stone fireplace with a timber mantel; in his reviews it is garages, decks, doors and windows, and tile in a walk-in shower.

Verified against the state record

The license, in full

Anyone can check this in about thirty seconds, and you should. Every line below came off the California State License Board record on September 18, 2026.

License number: 1099725
Legal name: Coastal Concrete & Remodeling
Classification: C-8 · Concrete
Classification: B-2 · Residential Remodeling
Status: Current and active
Issued: 2022-12-14
Expires: 2026-12-31
Entity: Sole ownership
Qualifying individual: Diego Antonio Carrillo
Contractor’s bond: $25,000 · Nationwide Mutual
Workers’ compensation: Markel · to 2027-06-23

The record carries no additional status line, no suspension, no bond cancellation date and no disclosable complaints. Two classifications on one license is the thing worth noticing. A C-8 is concrete specifically and a B-2 is remodeling across more than one trade, so the same person is accountable for the slab and for what goes on top of it. There is also a real workers’ compensation policy in force rather than an exemption, which is what a crew rather than one man means.

In their own words

What his customers wrote

“Diego and his team did a fantastic job replacing the tile in our walk-in shower. [...] Not only did they match the tiles and grout perfectly they were also able to save and reuse a very expensive drain cover saving me even more money!”

Bob Cochran · Google

“They take pride in their work! Attention to detail with ongoing communications about the job. Completed the patio when they said it would be done.”

Jacque · Google

“Diego and his crew were fabulous. They were always on schedule and their finished product was perfect. We actually used them twice on major projects and were very satisfied.”

Donna Lemere · Google

“They appeared on time, worked carefully with precision even with my last-minute change. Removing a portion of my concrete patio that had cracked and crumbled [...] was a messy task yet they kept the work area clean. No dust invaded my home!”

Christine Boesch · Google

A note from the person who built this

Why this page exists

Diego, you don’t know me. I’m Matthew, and I build websites for contractors on the California coast. I built this one before asking, because it is easier to look at a real page than to listen to a pitch.

Here is what I noticed, and it is the whole reason I picked you. The website on your Google listing, carrilloscoastalconcrete.com, does not open. It returns a Wix error page that says “This domain isn’t connected to a site”, with buttons on it offering to sell the visitor a domain and a website of their own. Anyone who finds you on Google and taps that link lands on that, which is worse than having no website at all: the link looks like it works right up until someone uses it, and then it advertises to them instead of to you.

You are also still paying for the domain. It is registered through Wix and paid up until December 30. So the address is yours, the bill is being paid, and the only thing missing is something for it to point at. That is usually a domain that was never finished connecting, or a connection that lapsed, and it is fixed inside your own Wix account.

Everything on this page is already yours. Every photograph was taken by you and posted to your own listing. The colors are not my choice either: the olive is sampled out of the block wall in your own photo of those steps. The quotes are word for word from your reviews, and the license details came off the state record.

Everything here came from public sources: your listing, your photographs, your reviews and the state license board. Nothing is stock and nothing is invented. If a detail is wrong, it is wrong because I read it wrong, and I’d want to know.

$950 flat if you want it, live in about a week on the domain you already own, and you own everything: the domain, the files, all of it. If it is not for you I will take it down, no hard feelings.
