It started on a rugby field

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. We’re selective about the projects we take on and we always deliver high-quality work backed by our Elite guarantee.

We’re proof that you can love your contractor

“Elite Constructions recently completed a primary bathroom remodel. A big bonus for us was the care they showed our multiple animals. It helped make the whole experience easier to live with. We highly recommend their services!”

Mark, Santa Cruz, CA

“The Elite crew is amazing! For a hyper-organized person like myself, Elite was a dream to work with. Our next big project is the kitchen, and I will definitely use Elite.”

Sarah, Ben Lomond, CA

“I have employed Elite on two remodel projects. As a former Project Manager, I am entirely delighted with their work, timeliness and quality. I heartily recommend them..”
