What Makes Santa Barbara Different
Santa Barbara sits on a narrow strip between the mountains and the ocean. Most of the year is dry and mild, but winter storms can drop heavy rain on steep, burned slopes. After the Thomas Fire in December 2017, a storm in January 2018 sent deadly debris flows through Montecito. Take evacuation orders seriously when a big storm follows a fire, and know how water drains past your home.
Wildfire is a real risk in the foothills, and smoke can reach every home on the coast. Smoke leaves soot and odor in fabrics, carpet and ducts, so change the air filter and clean ducts after a fire nearby. Soot is acidic and can stain surfaces if it sits, so clean or call a specialist soon.
Near the coast, the marine layer keeps the air damp for much of the late spring and early summer. Bathrooms, closets on outside walls and homes close to the beach can grow mold when air does not move. Many older Spanish style homes were built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any remodel.

Checking a License in Santa Barbara
California requires a license from the Contractors State License Board for most home repair work. Look up any company’s license number on the board’s website before you sign, and check that it is active and bonded and that workers compensation insurance is on file. California has no separate state mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation. Asbestos work needs its own certification, so ask about it by name when a job may disturb older materials.
