We hired Joe Ottlinger, a licensed and bonded general contractor, to install a new counter top,…read moresink, and tile two vanities. The crew arrived a bit early and were polite, professional, careful and worked with precision. They were organized, efficient, and worked with good hustle. They made very good suggestions to improve our bath remodels. Their bid was competitive, they kept to their original price and they used some of my plywood to cut costs. They also helped us decide on how to manage other projects that we are doing. When we need more remodeling, we will call them again.

After a near miss with a "contractor" aka "handyman with a license" I was on my second round of…read moreinterviews of contractors when I met Joe Ottlinger of Ottlinger Custom Building. I wanted to add a shower in the master bath and finish off the room that would accommodate the "pop out" created by the shower. I knew what I wanted, how I wanted it finished and even had the tile picked out. The range of contractors I interviewed went from a fairly large company that actually had a "project management team" (which I didn't want or need for my small project) to a guy who came to the appointment late, hurried through it, couldn't be bothered with discussing the finishing off piece in the third bedroom and then literally begged me for the job weeks later after I had already settled on Ottlinger Custom Building. Most of the bids were much higher than necessary, and once the contractors figured out I knew that, started to negotiate the price down. Joe came up with a fair bid from the beginning. Despite the fact that I knew exactly what I wanted but being a single woman, some of these guys were to say the least a little condescending. It almost felt like they were patting me on the head as if to say "Don't think sweetie, we know best." After these experiences, my trust when it came to contractors was marginal. However, Joe really impressed me with the fact that he listened to EVERYTHING I wanted including the finishing off piece in the third bedroom which was equally as important as the rest of the project in terms of making it all look cohesive and wasn't an afterthought or an add on. Since I live in California and this is my second home, not being there was a big issue for me. So I decided I would go ahead and have Joe do the demo and come up for installation. When I arrived for the actual installation, Joe couldn't have been more helpful in terms of explaining the construction phase, permit process, why he used the same subcontractors to ensure quality installation, as well as what type of construction materials were the best quality and would ensure that there were no problems with mold etc. The reason Joe can keep his prices low and quality high is that he does most of the work himself with the exception of plumbing, electrical etc. and uses the same subcontractors that he knows do quality work and are dependable. Joe has wonderful "people skills" and has great relationships with his subcontractors and inspectors so there was never a problem/hold up getting items scheduled or approved. If you have a vacation home you want work done on or live in the area of Sunriver, Bend or Redmond, Joe is the best kept secret around. Whether it's a big job or small job, he is a perfectionist, who loves what he does, making his customers happy and takes pride in doing a quality job. The job was done on time with a minimum of hold ups. He did a fantastic job on my bathroom, took great pride in his work and even had the house cleaned when he was done!! Don't hesitate to use this contractor. I wouldn't use anybody else. See Ottlinger Custom Building on Facebook

Everyone hates to call a plumber. But when there's a plumbing problem like a leaking water heater…read moreI had no choice. After getting a quote from another plumber for $1500 Nick of Eldridge Plumbing said he could do the job for around $1100. He came over and looked at the job. I explained to him that I am looking for the lowest price. He said he's look for a water heater that would help bring the cost down. When he called to tell me he found one for $360 I told him to buy it. Within the hour Nick was back at my house with the new water heater. He installed it and voila! I have a new water heater and the job cost me under $1000. I highly recommend Nick Eldridge of Eldridge Plumbing. Five stars all around: customer service, communications, knowledgeable and professional.

The repair was done right the first time, and he kept me in the loop without talking over my head. The best part? He noticed a separate issue from a previous plumber's work and took the initiative to correct it instead of pretending it wasn't there. That kind of honesty and attention to detail is hard to find. A+ experience--hands down the best plumber in Bend.
