John Garcia was extremely prompt in his estimate and in completing the project. He was highly detail oriented and was able to fix multiple doors and frames that were poorly built by the original owner. His price was reasonable, especially given the high quality of the work. I plan to hire him to fix a leaky window and repair my deck in the spring. Highly recommend!

The most recent project John (the owner) and the Otinga crew did for us was a complete kitchen renovation. Gutted the original (1957) kitchen, moved plumbing and gas to completely change the layout, put in a new window and installed a sliding glass door to make our deck more functional. We've had Otinga do many projects for us in two houses - patio tile repair, exterior door installation, renovationing a basement, and building a front porch roof. During each project John and his team have been great to work with; John is upfront on what needs to be done, works neatly (as neat as anyone can be when doing demo and construction!) and his pricing is always fair.

Willing to create custom projects however you would like them. This project was completed over a year ago. The communication with the office was not the greatest at the time, but I have used the company again and it has improved.

Small company. Owner is licensed engineer, extremely capable, experienced. Crews wear N95 masks, are very aware of anti-contamination procedures. Project completed on time and at the contracted price - no overruns. Project cost was one-third of the competition. Otinga is now our go-to contractor. Rating A+++.

This is a very professional company!!! I have had them come to do a bathroom remodel and will have them back for all of my future projects. Any questions or concerns throughout the remodel were answered and addressed as soon as I reached out to them. The job was done precisely and timely. The contractor was knowledgeable, polite, and personable. Great Job!!!

John Otinga started out to be a very professional gentleman. Scope remove two windows and install a smaller window, drywall a 83 sf kitchen and install 17 cabinets. The plumber came in (which was not John's team) installed the plumbing on the outside of the studs. Width I started out at 98? after I ripped out the existing walls and was down to the studs. I asked John to furr it out by laying the 2x4s flat against the existing studs. I came back he didn?t do that and stepped it out 1 inch from the plumbing plus the 2x4s came out to be additional 5? from the existing studs and with drywall I lost over 6? 91 5/8 to be exact on a 94? cabinet install. So a cabinet had to be eliminated. Please keep in mind the dimensional layout was hanging in the kitchen the entire time (so no one on John?s team could read). I reviewed John?s framework and told him it was a problem. He proceeds. The drywall is hung & ceiling corner seams were terrible a variance of 2? lower than the left corner. Also, John took it upon himself to have his employees ?clean? which were areas outside the kitchen they threw away many of my personal items a 50? heavy duty extension cord and tin snips ended of missing a $150 medical garment was tossed that my husband and I had to dig through trash bags to find. They reached on a top shelf in my mud room discarded 3 sets of cloth blinds which were sitting in dirt on the side of the house totally ruined. He wanted to blame my missing items on another team however that team wasn?t there the day in question when my things went missing. I wanted to end the contact prior to the cabinet install however but I continued and told him that hopefully with the cabinet install would hide the terrible drywall. It?s all in text! Well it didn?t the cabinets were to low yet John said it was industry standards. I didn?t care, they should have been hung to hide the sloppy drywall installation. So I (the customer had to raise them up remove a spacer that was not designed to be there and put it where it was supposed to be). His installer had to move an outlet down instead of him removing the box via screwdriver he cuts around it all the way to over the stud moves it down and sits drywall that he cut out on the stud. Anyone in there right mind knows the drywall will never align. Whereas all he needed to do was unscrew the box move it down into a wing nut box. So during the cabinet install I went on vacation while on vacation he sends me a message the cabinets were done. My response was that upon my inspection from vacation I would pay this was on Thursday and I returned on Monday. During the back & forth text while I?m on vacation he starts going off accusing me of not wanting to pay and then tells me to ?burn lady?. I paid the remaining balance however I deducted a small portion. I have pictures of each phase and also the text messages, I have everything. He even threatened to vandalize my house by removing siding that he threw in during the beginning of the job. If you would like to speak with me email me at kellyjones715@comcast.net. I usually don?t write reviews but this one needs to be shared

  1. Verify Trade License
