Vinny Arndt
President of Arndt Construction Inc.
B.S. in Construction Management
Vinny started Arndt Construction Inc. in 2005, and then incorporated in 2014. Prior to establishing his own Santa Barbara based construction business, Vinny held Project Management and Project Engineer positions at both Cushman Contracting (6 yrs) and Cottage Hospital Santa Barbara as their Project Manager (7 yrs) for the construction phase of their new campus.
His expertise comes through in his astute attention to detail, articulation of building standards and strategy within Santa Barbara County (Montecito & Goleta), commitment to excellence, and his reputation for delivering on time and within budget. Vinny understands that each project is unique and important, and is accompanied by its own set of requirements and standards. Having the ability to tap into individual needs and then delivering on bids is what sets Arndt Construction Inc. apart from its competitors. “When costs are transparent, it is one less potential for ambiguity”. (Vinny Arndt, President)
Above all else, superb customer service is at the heart of Arndt Construction Inc. Vinny’s vision has always been to make sure each client is well taken care of, which is the catalyst for his great success.
