Craig Young Construction

His grandfather’s training inspired Craig to apply for a general contractor license and establish his own firm in 1988. Today, Craig Young Construction is known for the upscale homes found across Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles County.
The firm was featured in the New York Times for a modern home project, but most of its projects are inspired by Spanish designs.
