Everything went very well!

Very personable just not bonded so we could not use them.

Omar looked promising. He came out quickly as promised but he didn't deliver the estimate as promised. Once he did, he was pretty inaccurate. He didn't communicate to us about the rise. So that was a disappointment.

Contrary to what their website and Angie's List state, Omar's estimates are NOT free. If you choose not to use their services, you must pay $150; if you do use them, then he credits the $150 towards the job. To their credit, they did specify the charge over the phone, so it wasn't a shock to receive the bill, but it was still not as advertised. Given their ratings here, I did have them come out to our place to discuss the work we wanted done. The two people who came out spoke very poor English. I had a very difficult time communicating with them, and wasn't sure when they left whether they actually understood everything I had wanted done (and the answer, once I received the estimate, was no). Second, their estimates were astronomical for some items (painting, plumbing work, etc.) - more than double what some other contractors quoted. I ended up not using Omar's, because they could not justify their inflated prices beyond "that's what it costs to do it" when I pushed them for an explanation.

We were very pleased with the results. We had workers arrive each morning and work all day until the project was complete. Communication with workers was excellent, they were happy to make changes if there was a concern, and always left our house completely clean- despite the renovations. We would highly recommend Omar's Contracting and plan to use them again in the future.

I went with another company and I regret that decision. For my next project I am going to hire Omar's General Contracting.

We requested an estimate for work in our house. They came that same week and said they'd have to come back to provide an estimate, which they never did. Trying to give them another chance, the same happened in October: they came once, said they needed to come back, and never did. When I called them, they said they'd get back to me that same day with an explanation, and... they never did. In the process, we wasted several months we could have used working with someone more reliable.

The basement was previously semi-finished mechanical and utility space. The walls were exposed cinder block. The previous owner had broken up the area by installing a wall through the middle, making the space very inefficient. Rafael and crew provided suggestions for improving the layout and gave us some great ideas for little things like hiding the fuse box while keeping it accessible; providing a new, functional access door to the furnace which is located in an unfinished area under the house; and installing a very useful pantry area. When the paint I originally chose for the concrete floor proved to be inappropriate for the area, Rafael suggested an epoxy alternative, and repainted the floor at no extra charge. His crew even installed the new washer and dryer when they were delivered. The crews [each of the different trades (plumbing, electrical, etc) utilized a different crew] were all very professional. Even though we weren't using the area during the remodeling, the area was totally cleaned up at the end of each work day. We were away from the house each day during the project, and Rafael kept in touch with us via almost-daily phone calls during the entire process. The company places a great emphasis on customer satisfaction, and it shows. We were so impressed with the work and the price that we had Rafael take on another project that involved finishing an outside-access storage area. Although the space is still primarily utility, storage, and mechanical space, it is now bright, functional, and inviting.
