Eric · Owner & Licensed Contractor
Early in life I learned the skills and importance of ensuring a home's systems and structure are well maintained and in good working order. Throughout my life I have successfully completed many owner/builder projects to improve my homes and investment properties as well as those of others. As a licensed remodeling contractor I offer my renovation services and small design/build project services to Thousand Oaks and the surrounding areas.
My family and I have been in Thousand Oaks 30+ years and cannot imagine being anywhere else. Did I mention I love dogs? And barbecue?

GSD Home Services is an intentionally small, design-led remodeling studio. We take on a limited number of projects at a time so every home gets the focus, craftsmanship, and clear communication it deserves.
You work directly with the owner and a dedicated designer, not a rotating cast of project managers. From first sketch to final walkthrough, design, permits, and construction are handled in-house.
Most remodels go one of two ways. Here's why homeowners choose a boutique studio over the alternative.
One team. One standard. Boutique attention from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Start Your Project"We hired GSD for a full kitchen remodel and couldn't be happier. They handled the permits, kept us updated every week, and finished on schedule. The crew was respectful and cleaned up every single day."
"Our garage-to-ADU conversion went smoother than I expected for a project this size. Clear pricing up front, no surprise costs, and the finished space looks like it was always part of the house."
"They remodeled both of our bathrooms and the attention to detail was incredible. Communication was fast and honest the whole way through. Already planning our next project with them."
"Added a master suite to our home. The 3D design walkthrough helped us make decisions with confidence before anything was built. Finished a few days ahead of schedule. Highly recommend."
"Honest, professional, and easy to reach. Our roof replacement passed inspection the first time and the price matched the quote exactly. That kind of straightforwardness is rare."
"GSD did a whole-home remodel for us: kitchen, two baths, new flooring throughout. Big project, zero drama. They treated our home like their own and the result exceeded our expectations."
We focus on high-impact remodels, designed and built in-house, from first sketch to final reveal.
Carpentry, trim, gates, masonry, paint touch-ups, and powerwashing, all handled with care.

Based in Thousand Oaks, CAEverything homeowners usually want to know before starting a project with us.
Every home is different, but we provide a detailed, fixed-price proposal before any work begins. Bathrooms typically start in the $25k–$45k range, kitchens $50k–$120k, and ADU conversions $90k+. The number we agree on is the number you pay — no surprise change orders.
Because we intentionally take on fewer projects at a time, your timeline is realistic and protected. A bathroom usually runs 3–5 weeks, kitchens 6–10 weeks, and additions or ADUs 3–6 months. You'll get a clear schedule up front and weekly progress updates throughout.
