At Skyview Builders, we believe that a home is more than just a project. It is a commitment to the people who will live within its walls. We are an owner-operated firm based in Carmel, dedicated to the art of high-performance construction and reliable service.
Stuart leads the Skyview Builders team with a shared passion for excellence and a deep respect for the architectural heritage of the Monterey Peninsula. We don’t just build structures: we build relationships based on trust, transparency, and a mutual desire for perfection.
Stuart brings nearly 20 years of hands-on experience as a building contractor to every site. His professional know-how is the backbone of our operation, ensuring that every structural and waterproofing element is executed to the highest industry standards.
Catherine manages the business with a focus on seamless communication and efficient resource management. Together, they have built a company that stands for innovation and reliability. We are a family-owned business that treats every client’s home as if it were our own.
The Monterey coast is a place of incredible beauty, but it is also an environment that demands technical mastery. We have seen what happens when builders use standard methods in a coastal zone. We chose a different path.
We focus on high-performance building because we believe your home should be as smart as it is beautiful. This means prioritizing the “invisible” details—the building envelope, the structural reinforcement, and the specialized materials that prevent decay. We build for the long term because we believe in crafting a legacy.
Building a custom home or managing a complex renovation is a journey. As your guide, we adhere to a set of standards that ensure the process is as rewarding as the result.
We believe you should always know where your investment is going. From our detailed bids to our real-time budget tracking, we eliminate the guesswork.
We don't settle for "good enough." We utilize industry-best practices and green products to ensure every detail is precise.
We maintain clean, organized job sites to protect your property and ensure our team can work with maximum efficiency.
When you work with Skyview, you work with the owners. We take personal responsibility for the success of your project.
Our commitment to a “No Surprises” experience is built into our process. We understand that construction can feel overwhelming, which is why we place the client at the center of attention.
You will never have to wonder who is in charge or what is happening on your property. We provide regular updates and are always available to answer your questions. We handle the complexities of permits, subcontractors, and schedules so you can focus on the vision for your new space.
With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry and 18 years as a licensed general building contractor, Stuart Elder leads with precision, integrity, and expertise. He is deeply committed to detail-driven craftsmanship, ensuring every client’s vision is delivered exactly as imagined. Having worked alongside the same trusted crew for more than 15 years, Stuart has built a seamless, efficient workflow on job sites, resulting in consistently high-quality outcomes and long-lasting client relationships.
It means you have a direct line to the people making the decisions. You aren't dealing with a revolving door of project managers. Stuart and Catherine are involved in the daily progress of your build, ensuring our high standards are met at every turn
