"Simply put, Bill builds from the heart. We had a major renovation that entailed reconfiguring the entire 2nd floor with the addition of a bed and bathroom. We also had our 1st floor reconfigured with a wall removal and a master ensuite established. With a project of this size there are challenges and Bill and his team worked as professionals through each one. The quality of build that Bill and his team establishes is top notched and stands with the best in the business, We did have some hurdles with finishing details, however, with continued communication with Bill and some realignment, the project came out better than our expectations. We're very happy with our overall results."

"The Ra Carpentry team did a great job in my house. Qualified, attentive delivered my project on time."

"Excellent work. Did not rush the job and addressed a lot of the details such as proper prep, caulking and minor repairs of siding where possible. Treated property with respect and cared to provide a quality outcome. Could not be happier with the product and the value."

"inconsistent finish on floors, light in some areas dark in others, splash marks on the base boards as well as the stairwell walls, sanding was not consistent throughout the house."

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"I hired Ortega Construction for some light carpentry work around my apartment. They were super nice and super quick. The work they did was exactly what I needed and for a great price. Definitely will be using them again!"

"This is a LONG OVERDUE and SERIOUSLY NEEDED review. I am truly surprised this crew of amazing workers do not have more reviews by now. I am a serious procrastinator and I also wanted to see how it all held up and how warm winter was before posting a review. I started with needing a teardown and rebuild of a deck that extended off the house since the ledger board was rotting and not at all safe. We ended up finding termites and followed the termite damage and then found out I had ZERO insulation in the house. This turned into removing 2 layers of exterior siding on the house, removing the old style sheathing to get to the studs around the entire house to look for termite damage and in turn we ended up repairing the termite damage, re-sheathing the entire house with zip panels and zip tape rolled on, redoing all the window trim and siding along with installing a rain screen and exterior insulation over the zip panels. They never gave me any complaints or forced me to go with the ways they wanted like most contractors would do. I would tell them, they would look, we would talk about it and Oscar was always asking if it was good before doing the the rest. I wanted mineral wool in my house walls since they were exposed. Mineral wool is fireproof and a good sound barrier (wow it makes a world of difference - I cant even hear the wind unless I have my ears next to a window now) . I could write a novel on how much work was done. I never expected to do that much but Oscar and the crew were willing to help me out. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting up with me and how I wanted things done. Everyone on the block compliments the work done and how amazing it looks, our family loves it, I love it, we are comfortable and at peace of mind. (termite bait stations were put in and as we also redid everything we bought a termite borate spray and sprayed the entire sill plate (mudsill) and bottom 6 ft of the house and new zip panels as we put them up. we even waterproofed the bottom 3ft front and back of the panels with liquid flashing to prevent future rot , even behind the ledger board and higher. Just amazing! We saved an entire tank of oil (250 gallons) this year by doing this. May not seem like much but hey, 0 insulation to about r-15 in the walls (2x4) and exterior insulation 1" R-4 (wish I did more but then windows needed more pvc to bump-out and pvc is getting pricey) . So r-0 to r-19! When I get more money I hope this crew is still doing their work, I'll be looking for them first! Tons of pictures taken, please use them!"

"Had a problem with a pet tearing my screens. Jay gave me his expert opinion and recommended a pet proof screen. He installed that in the back and a regular screen for my front door. They both look great. So far so good with the pet screen! ?"
