"As a first time home renovator, I was overwhelmed with options when it came to updating my 1920s Sonoma farmhouse. Then along came Salt Shed, a Sonoma-based design firm rooted in classic modern farmhouse design – and I knew my renovation was in good hands. Like most of us embarking on a project, I had amassed much inspiration, and with their help, was able to hone in a design aesthetic that was modern, casual, and the perfect combination for wine country living.
The design phase was just the beginning; what I ended up appreciating the Salt Shed team the most for was the process of managing the work. Regular check ins and progress updates were held, and through every step of the way, top-notch quality control. As someone with extremely high standards, I was very pleased with how well the Salt Shed team matched what I needed. Matthew and team were so attentive to the project every step of the way – and went above and beyond to communicate and collaborate with me as a client, and ensure high quality execution was delivered.
Now that the project is complete, I am fully able to enjoy my Sonoma retreat, thanks to the Salt Shed team. They truly brought my modern farmhouse vision to life – and executed it to the next level. What an incredibly creative, professional group to work with; without pause I have recommended them to others embarking on meaningful projects!"
"Knowledgeable, transparent, trustworthy, and fun is what I was looking for when selecting a builder for a custom home. I found that and more in the Salt Shed team. Building a custom home in Sonoma wine country has been a long time dream and it was extremely important to me to work with a local builder who knew Sonoma County well. I researched and contacted several local design-build companies. Salt Shed responded immediately to set up a meeting. I did a lot of diligence, met with several builders, and was willing to take as much time needed to find the right team. Speaking with Matthew, Michael, Cesar, and several of their former clients, made the choice easy. I’m so happy with the decision to work with Salt Shed. Meadowhouse exceeded expectations and I could not be more excited to begin our next project with them. I highly recommend Salt Shed Design Build for your custom home!"
"Salt Shed was the perfect partner for our wine country weekend house. They helped us convert an old farmhouse set in vines to a modern dream house perfect for our family. The design phase was quick and incorporated our vision as well as their own. Once construction started we were lucky to have an A+ foreman on the job. He was communicative and available every step of the way — and this was not easy given the pandemic! Between Cesar the designer and Kevin the foreman we felt fully supported and comfortable with the building process. We now have our perfect retreat in Sonoma. We highly recommend Salt Shed Design"
“I am currently building a large, custom home in Santa Rosa. After interviewing a number of design-build companies, I decided on Salt Shed as they met my must-have criteria important to me for this project: They consistently delivered the very highest quality standard in home building, they were an established builder of custom homes in the greater Bay Area, and they were relentless in keeping to their budgets and timelines. With my home nearing completion, I can say that the experience of building my new home with Salt Shed has been exceptional."
“I've had the opportunity to work with the Salt Shed team as the Landscape Designer for several of their custom home projects throughout Sonoma County. Their talented team of experienced professionals work with each client to ensure their home design is customized to their specific wants and needs- both from an aesthetic point of view and also from a budgetary standpoint. Salt Shed clients are educated on the details of the construction process and kept involved and informed each step of the way, which makes the entire process (including landscape) go as smoothly as possible. As a Landscape Designer, being able to create outdoor living spaces around their beautiful homes is truly a pleasure!"
