Our Santa Barbara Ventura Counties Team

Shelby Hendrix grew up assisting his uncle, Richard Grunder, the former owner of HouseMaster Santa Barbara, with remodeling projects, gaining firsthand experience in the construction trades. While attending UC Santa Barbara, Shelby began working for HouseMaster, further developing his knowledge of building construction and inspections. Following graduation, Shelby served in the U.S. Coast Guard before returning to Santa Barbara, where he spent several years remodeling homes as an owner-builder. When Richard decided to retire, Shelby purchased the business, continuing HouseMaster's tradition of thorough, knowledgeable inspections while building on its longstanding reputation for quality and dependable service throughout Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
