Ochs Construction

Responded quickly, showed us some on-site previous work, made good suggestions that we implemented, was able to start work quickly, gave us a fair price, had a courteous and incredibly expert crew, cleaned up the work site. Highly recommend Tom Ochs.

After explaining to Thomas that we wanted to replace our redwood deck, fence and gate, we discussed the various materials available on the market. We didn't want another redwood deck and he suggested we install a Timberlake product for the deck and redwood for the fence and gate. We did, and the results are beautiful. His crew not only did a great job, they arrived early and

Pay close attention to quality of his work as he lets his worker do majority and doesn't check work. I had joists replace on upper deck (and lower deck repair)that were not level and several were missing nails, post missing lag screw, not straight, ends not treated, and much time and effort as well as money spent to adjust for top boards to be put in by someone else. Work site left with wood pieces nails etc in yard not cleaned up. ( plants trampled fountain full of debri)Several times didn't show up , sometimes for week or two. Has great ideas but doesn't follow through and doesn't inform worker of plan. Hired in April, by June told him I didn't want him back. Project took way too long, prices kept changing, as there also was a lower entry deck rebuild involved. Post crooked, and work incomplete, even left old joist hangers dangling. Worst part was not noticing evidence of drywall termites right where he replaced a ledger which was blantenly obvious as there was a pile of termite poop next to it. I had to get termite treatment after discovered when top boards put in a month later. Maybe this contractor is unaware ( or his worker) that tiny black seedy pellets are indication of termite activity! Since he cut out part of trim before installing ledger it would have been impossible to miss. I was left with cleanup. I paid him total of $6000 and still may report him to contractor's license board. I have had lesser skilled ( unlicensed) laborers do more professional work. No I do not recommend. I took many photos afterwards which I am more than willing to share.
