Omar's General Contracting

e The employee who repaired the walls, Daniel, not only did a superb job in repairing the walls, but adhered to all of the steps in the contract. All three (3) walls look just great! Daniel cleaned up the areas at the end of each day; was very professional and courteous. As Daniel completed phases of the job, I could see the pride he has in his work. Another employee, Angel, who removed and replaced the radiators, not only did a great job, but discovered the leaks in the valves on the boiler, which impacts the quality of the heat output. He told me about the leaks, showed me and explained the consequences of the leaks. He replaced the valves with the correct ones (the existing ones were on the boiler when I moved into my house) after a second contract was drawn up by Mr. Gomez for the replacement of the valves, upon my request. The work done by Omar's General Contracting was so pleasing to me, that I asked Mr. Gomez to give me estimates on two other jobs in my house.

Omar and his general contractor were great to work with. They were very flexible with us as we wanted to make our own purchases for some of the materials- we made several mistakes when procuring certain items (trying to select the correct shower base and doors), and they worked with us to find solutions. In addition, I had some space use challenges and asked them to come up with solutions- even though they are not advertised as designers they showed themselves capable of dealing with these challenges and produced very good built-ins. Here's an anecdote: the general contractor, Juan Carlos, was working on one of the bathrooms when he noticed a leak in the ceiling. He realized the upstairs toilet was leaking and went out to the hardware store to pick up a new part and fixed it without bothering me (nor did it show up on the invoice). They are truly pros at paint and drywall, it all looks seamless. We LOVE both our new bathrooms, and their pricing was extremely reasonable considering how much work they put into this job. Unbeatable, really. I would contract with Omar again in the future.

I scheduled the appointment for 4/10. No one came.

Performed on schedule and on budget to our complete satisfaction. His staff covered the floor every day and cleaned up /vacuumed every night. Used quality primer and paint, caulked all windows and doors before painting. The staff is responsive, polite and steady workers, know their job and need little supervision. All in all a good experience. Would use them again.

Excellent, and responsive. Very punctual, even tolerating my miscues. Work was beautiful and I am totally happy. I am looking for new things for them to do! Wonderful service and work.

Provider was prompt, courteous, and professional. For unrelated reasons, I deferred this project for now. No work done.

They do quality work at a reasonable price. We will use them again without a doubt! they are only able to answer their phone in person a couple times per day but they are extremely responsive to voice mails, which was fine with me. Good, solid team at Omar's!

Everything went really well. He cam out gave a good estimate and then did the work quickly quietly and cleaned up. It was excellent, no complaints. Except the ceiling fan that I bought sucks, but that's not his fault, next time buy something on quality not pretty.

The work went quickly and quietly. Omar had wired the system for the previous owner so he already knew what was where. He climbed in the attic and rewired the system moving the receiver and cable box to the opposite side of the room. He also got our tv working properly. Turns out the previous owners did not leave us with all of the components required to operate the tv properly. We had struggles for months trying to get it to work. We have not had trouble with the tv since and the rewiring job was seamless. He made a hole and put a on switch plate and everything looks very professional. My only criticism is he is very busy and getting him to our house took some time and phone back and forth.

Timely and the work was excellent.

They were good men but we had other things in mind and it was difficult to speak to each other what we wanted.

This is a long overdue review of three separate projects, all of which involved leveling my old slap brush ceilings by installing new thin drywall over top and patching and sanding. My old ceilings were totally uneven and looked awful but Omar's team made them look amazing and they are totally level. One of the projects involved the perfect installation of eight recessed lights and the removal and replacement of my fire and carbon monoxide detectors. These guys are great and meticulous from start to finish. Great quality and highly recommended!

The work was done completely and promptly. It was a trickier situation than originally bid out, but was completed with things I didnt even notice that needed to be done. No extra charge, hit the estimate on the head. Work looks professional and everything went smoothely.

For a very reasonable price, we feel like we have a new brand new kitchen! They are real pros at drywall, trimwork, and painting, and they did excellent carpentry work on our new pantry. We have a small condo in DC, with very strange shapes and odd angles to it, and the team had no problems working with this unique space. The crew was courteous, clean, and professional. The foreman came to inspect the work and inquired if we had further questions or concerns. The work was done in a reasonable amount of time (approximately 5-6 days of work total), and the only delay occurred because there was some electrical work that had to be completed that was outside of their scope- once I had that done, they were prompt about coming back to finish the job. We plan to contract with this company again for bathroom renovations.

Omar came to evaluate our kitchen renovation project, he said he would provide a fee estimate within 2 days but no response was ever received. In the meantime, we already interview 4 other contractors, received all quotes and made our decision but still nothing from Omar. His office was responsive to schedule the initial evaluation but they dropped the ball afterwards. Based on other reviews, it looks like a pattern.

Dropped the ball on estimate.

After receiving bids from 4 contractors I chose Omar because of price, timeframe and reviews. I was a little hesitant as I had not worked with him before however most of the reviews seemed positive. I did not put much weight into the reviews that were negative because of him not submitting a quote. Although I think it would be more professional to let clients know that you don't plan on quoting, I chose to overlook that factor. I did find that I had to follow-up to get a quote which was not ideal. OK, negative aside Omar's team does fabulous work. They arrived daily on time and stayed all day. They were very diligent in taping off areas to help keep the rest of the house clean. They were careful to not leave tools laying out as I have small children. The leads on the job were Juan Carlos and Antonio, who both do great work. I am very picky and honestly I am super impressed with the quality of the work. It was done when they said it would be completed. I plan on using Omar in the near future for other projects.

I never heard from him again after he came to provide an estimate.

This was our second time using Omar's General contracting. Both times we had the same result with different employees. The assessment was done quickly and accurately. Over the course of 3 days the employees arrived at their scheduled times, were very professional and pleasant, worked the entire day with the exception of a lunch break and cleaned up nicely after themselves. They covered all floor surfaces and other items in the room that would be affected by the work. They covered all floor surfaces leading to the upstairs bedrooms to protect our hardwood floors and stairs. When question arose they immediately solicited my opinion. At the completion of the job I was asked to check their work to confirm I was pleased with the end product. Would most definetly use their services again. We did ask for quotes on other work that we have planned for the future and will be calling them to complete those projects.

We selected Omar's based on another (retired) contractor's recommendation and on the basis of their work repainting and repairing plaster in the interior of our house, and we're glad we continued working with them. The owner made some good recommendations on the configuration of the bathroom. We did all the shopping for fixtures, tiles, etc., and the cost of those is not reflected in the "Approximate cost of service" field in this review. The workers were skilled and diligent, and worked very hard. Everything looks great - good job on the tiling and painting, and all the fixture installations are very professional. The project didn't quite finish at the scheduled time, but some of the delay was due to fixtures ordered from other providers that were damaged when they were delivered to us. Waiting on replacements slowed things down a bit, to no fault of Omar's. The crews took care not to damage our recently finished hardwood floors, and although moving fixtures through the house inevitably resulted in a few chips in our recent paint job, they did a good job of touching those up. When we noticed a few details that we wanted done differently, they were happy to oblige.

We chose Omar's based on Angie's List recommendations, and more importantly, on the recommendation of a friend who is a retired contractor and who has worked professionally with Omar's. We're glad we chose them. Omar's crew did a great job. They had no problems dealing with our somewhat complex paint scheme. The plaster repair was very well done, and everything looks great. Project was completed on schedule. The owner came by regularly to check on the work. On one visit, he determined that one of the jobs was done incorrectly - we never would have noticed, but he had the crew tear it out and redo it completely. I think that speaks to his integrity and high standards. We recommend Omar's highly.

Other then some scheduling mishaps, everything was done great! Wilber in the office is very polite and easy to work with. Pricing was fair. I would use them again.

The project was necessitated by the plaster ceiling in the dining room of our older home unexpectedly caving in. We called Omar's and he was there to provide an estimate the same day, and work started the next morning. Within 2 days, the room was repaired and looked better than before, with all of the debris removed and every nick and scratch on ceiling and walls repaired. We were so pleased we had the company replace the ceilings in two additional rooms, and the work was similarly efficient and immaculate. The crew always arrived on time and was careful to keep the rest of the house clean.

We contacted Omar's on 12/9/13, they responded on 12/10/13, and had a representative on site on 12/12/13. After looking at the problem with the kitchen ceiling, they described what they would do to fix it, and that they would provide a quote soon. The quote arrived the following day, and we arranged for the work to be done on 12/16/13 and 12/17/13. Although the team arrived a little later than expected, that did not create any problems. They fixed the hole on the first day, and then sanded and painted the entire ceiling on the second day. On both days the team was very careful about protecting the room and the path from the front door, and they cleaned everything up beautifully. We didn't have to do any subsequent cleanup. Not only did they fix the ceiling, but they smoothed out a few other problems in the general vicinity at the same time. It was such a pleasant experience that we would not hesitate to have them do work with us in the future. We are already considering Omar's for the painting that we expect to do within the next month or so. I also want to compliment the office staff, who provided excellent communication and updates. Customer service is such a vital part of the experience, and they did that extremely well.

Routine walk through to obtain an estimate for the work that Omar's advertises. He seemed interested during his visit and stated he knew how to take care of the work. He got good reviews but not sure what kind of work ethic we would be dealing with. We are still willing to work with him if he sends the estimate but it has been over a month now!
