 + 0 moreSink Installation and Painting
Description of Work: We used Omar’s for some work previously in our house and everything was great. Fast forward a couple years when we brought Omar in to give us an estimate to drywall a bathroom for us. He gave us an estimate and when we asked if he could come down in price slightly, he never responded. A year later, we asked him to give us an estimate on some more drywall work and a sink installation. He came out to take some pictures and now, a month later, we have no estimate. We’ve contacted the company twice asking for an update, and they have not responded at all. We’re sad because we thought we had a reliable contractor but clearly not. We will never be contacting him again

 + 0 moreNever followed through.
Description of Work: I needed a ceiling fan installed and Omar came out on a Saturday morning to do a consultation. He promised to send me an estimate first thing that Monday morning, even though he could have given it to me while he was there. I never heard from him, so I followed up with his office on Tuesday afternoon, and they promised to send me the estimate shortly. I never heard back. They don't seem to want the business, so I will use another handyman service.

Description of Work: Omar's fully renovated our galley kitchen in our condo. Everything was removed down to the concrete walls and everything was replaced. The crew flawlessly assembled and installed the Ikea cabinets we had selected, and handled all the electrical and finish work such as tiling and painting. The Ikea work included a few customizations which they executed perfectly. The crew was considerate and did a great job of containing the mess and cleaning up each day. This was a friendly group and it was never a bother to have them in our place. When issues came up, as they always will, Omar's people were flexible, and when money was involved, they were entirely fair. We made our final payment but one last finish piece wasn't quite up to snuff. We told them and it was done to perfection in no time. | |The only thing to keep in mind is that Spanish is their first language. Yes, they speak English but diagrams and frequent conversations are essential to make sure everyone knows what to expect. Don't assume everything is clear just because it was said. If you're good with that, I predict a very good outcome for everyone.

Description of Work: The service and work performed was great! There were a few times where the crew was late by 30-40 minutes which was a bother. Looking back, it was a small price to pay for the responsiveness to the few concerns I raised and the quality of the work.

Description of Work: Replaced kitchen counters, exterior door and built a cabinet and shelves in kitchen. They also rebuilt a closet. They did a great job as usual, finished on time and on budget. They have good ideas about how to make the most of the spaces in our small house. I would happily use them again.

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.
Description of Work: We had an estimate from Omar's General Contracting about 3 months ago.

 + -1 moreContrary 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.
Description of Work: I contacted Omar's about having some work done on a house we were purchasing. The only service performed was an estimate, which cost $150.

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.
Description of Work: Completely remodeled and refinished our basement. Added a bathroom, hardwood floors, guest room, closets, recessed lighting, and painted interior.

Description of Work: I had Omar's contracting come in to give me an estimate on the flooding in my basement. The contractor said that my problem was the broken downspout from my neighbor. I had them give me an estimate on installing a french drain, plumbing for washer and dryer and a full bath remodel. Their estimate was extremely competitive.

basement waterproofing, remodeling
 + 0 moreWe 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.

drywall, basement remodeling
 + 0 moreThe 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.
Description of Work: Remodel a roughed-in basement (approximately 21' x 13'). This involved demolition of an old bathroom (including the shower) and the removal of walls and a raised floor in one section of the basement. Walls were framed and insulation and drywall were installed over the previously exposed cinder block walls. Three new windows were installed. New plumbing was installed for the reconfigured powder room and the laundry service. Recessed lighting was installed in the newly opened area. We had an odd-sized exterior that needed to be replaced, and Rafael was able to provide an appropriate solution.
