Bright Idea Builder was founded in 2009 by Kevin Mills and Taylor Wampler with a clear vision: to offer clients honest cost estimates, the right services, and quality materials. Recognizing a gap in the market for transparency and reliability, Kevin and Taylor committed to providing accurate, fair estimates that reflected the true costs of projects. Their dedication to clear and consistent communication ensured that clients were always informed and involved in every step of their projects. This approach not only built trust but also set a new standard in the industry for how business should be conducted.
From the beginning, Kevin and Taylor made a firm commitment to prioritize their clients and their projects above all else. They understood that exceeding expectations was key to building lasting relationships and a strong reputation. By consistently over-delivering on their promises, they cultivated a loyal client base that appreciated their integrity and dedication. This client-first philosophy became the cornerstone of Bright Idea Builder’s success, driving the company’s growth and establishing it as a trusted name in the industry.
We were originally born out of the need for honest and capable contractors who say what they are going to do and do what they said they are going to do and to do it right and well. We have always done that and we are committed to excellence in our honest and ethical service and workmanship. We don’t do, “just okay“, we only do “GREAT!!” and we now demand that same level of commitment and integrity from all of our sub contractors and vendors and suppliers.
When you a hire a contractor, you are their customer, they should ideally work to meet your expectations but in reality, they work for themselves. You need someone that puts you and your projects first, a professional that will be honest, ethical, upfront and communicate every aspect of the project with you in simple, easy to understand terms. A professional that understands, recognizes and values quality, craftsmanship and workmanship.
As construction project managers working for the client, we make sure that our clients needs, desires and requirements are met. Because we work ONLY for the client, we have no motivation to cut corners, waste time or money or allow anything to happen that doesn’t best serve our clients.
We are often told by our clients that we have renewed their faith in contractors and that we are proof that there are actually good and honest contractors out there.
Not all contractors are the same or honest or ethical for that matter. Unfortunately, most contractors give potential clients the lowest estimate hoping they will get the job and then figure out how to make a profit by using sub par materials and inexperienced tradesmen or planning on going back to tell the client that they need more money. We simply will not accept that or allow that. We provide a bid that is the right price for the project, and we take the opportunity to sit down with each client and show them how we got to that number. It probably won’t be the lowest bid you will receive but what you’ll get is an honest estimate for what it will cost to complete the project correctly and well and for using the right materials and workmanship to build a project we are proud of and that you can be proud of as well.
We quickly discovered that many contractors are not operating with their clients best interest at heart. We have been floored by the horror stories or fraud, deceit, theft and outright criminal activity. We have been amazed at the shoddy workmanship that has been accepted, let alone allowed by inspectors. This is simply NOT acceptable. If you have been a victim of a contractor, we encourage you to please report them to the state licensing board and pursue legal actions with an attorney. These individuals are a blight on our industry as well as our society. Please don’t let them take advantage of more people.
If you are in the Southern California area, one click does it all. You can reach us through our easy contact request above. We have expert crews and management in each of the areas we operate in and we are ready to work with you on your project.

“We are loving our new addition, kitchen and outdoor Cucina. Absolutely amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
“We hired Bright Idea to upgrade our home to a smart home. We had no idea the technologies that were available or how amazing our home could be. The guys at Bright Idea were so amazing we also hired them to put in our new solar system. The ones they showed us were better than the one we had found on our own and we are so happy with the performance of our solar system, smart home and Bright Idea.”
“We are so happy we spoke with you. Our home remodel looks and feels so amazing. You have easily improved the value of our home tremendously and even more than that, you have made it more livable and absolutely a happy place for us to be.”
Kevin, you and your crew are the greatest. It was obvious from the start that you were professional and could do the job. What really made it great for us was the communication. Everyone from you down to the workers that were here every day made sure we knew everything that was going on. Projected timelines, even approaches and solutions that would be better, more time effective or budget friendly. We appreciated that there were options for different fixtures, finishes, etc, and that you let us know. As you know, in many of the situations, we went with the option that was listed but for some we did change it. Having this flexibility and these options presented to us was just one more way we knew that you guys were looking out for us. Thank you again so much. We couldn’t be happier and we sing your praises to anyone that will hear us.
