Shelby Hendrix
Owner/Building and Mold Inspector
Shelby Hendrix grew up assisting his uncle, Richard Grunder, previous owner of HouseMaster Santa Barbara on remodel projects, gaining firsthand knowledge of the construction trades. While attending UC Santa Barbara, Shelby began working for HouseMaster, deepening his expertise and interest in building inspection. Driven by a strong sense of patriotism, Shelby joined the U.S. Coast Guard after graduation. After his service, he returned to Santa Barbara, where he spent several years remodeling homes as an owner-builder. When his uncle decided to retire, Shelby purchased the business, carrying forward HouseMaster’s legacy of thorough, knowledgeable inspection services across Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, while leading the company into a new era of exemplary service. -
