I have to agree with all the reviews that Carlos and his team do a great job. Carlos came by to inspect the damage and I had an estimate by the end of the day. It was thorough and very competitive. The work was done well and explained thoroughly. A few surprises while repairs were being done but Carlos took care of them right away with no issues. I even threw a few extra small additions which Carlos took care of per my request. I am very happy with the job and how everything looks. read more

The project had many things to accomplish. The largest being the bathroom, the deck railings, and a door removal. All went seamlessly. The hard part was me picking the tile. Carlos was very responsive to questions and his worker Amador was amazing as where the other guys very respectful.. They also put in a few windows a sliding glass door, and fixed our lamppost. can't say enough about OC construction. Give them a call you will not regret it. read more

We had to replace the side of our home due to water leakage and the age of our home. Carlos Olguin who own OC Construction handled our project with efficiency and handled our questions and needs immediately. He pays attention to the customer and will go out of his way to get the project done to your satisfaction. It was completed in record time. I will call on him again for further construction projects. Thank you Carlos and the guys who handled the project. read more

I have hired OC Construction for a few different projects. I had a roof fix that other contractors had problems resolving and Carlos and his crew got it done. In addition, OC Construction replaced the french doors in the back of my house that had been poorly installed years prior, and were leaking. An estimate of the work was provided (along with different options), as well as a guarantee of the work done. The crew was prompt, polite, and got the job done in a timely manner. Highly recommend! read more

Carlos Olguin replaced rusted joist hangers under our walkways and did a neat job. He used 316 stainless steel to last well in our ocean air. Carlos was easy to communicate with and did high quality work. Dave Plumb read more

We had a great experience with OC Construction/Carlos, and have used him several times. One project I'd highlight is a complete renovation of our original 40=ish year old bathroom. His crew took everything down to studs, redid the copper plumbing and electrical, installed tile laser-straight and various fixtures, painted, and much more. Carlos charged a fair price and his team was skilled, friendly, clean, and contentious. I appreciated his flexibility and calm attitude in working through various issues, as one always has with a project like this, along the way. I also appreciate that he's a perfectionist and watches his crew's work carefully, checking details I wouldn't even think to look at! read more

If you are looking for a reliable and diverse contractor, Carlos and his team are it!! We have used them on many home improvement projects now and they always do a good job! Very friendly and easy to communicate with. Able to take on a variety of projects, well knowledged. They even came to our rescue with an emergency plumbing need. Thank you again for the hard work and attention to detail Carlos! read more

We hired Carlos to put down a floor in a space at the back of our yard. We also paid him a good rate for this service. After a few days, we noticed that a number of the boards by the front door were not sitting right. Carlos came by and sent his floor guy as well to look at the job. He promised that he would send his guy back within a couple of weeks to fix the floor. Then came the crickets. No one came and Carlos did not call. So, we called/texted him. We got an apology and another promise. Two more weeks came and went and again. . .crickets. At any rate, now months have gone by and Carlo (OC Construction) has now ghosted us completely. I can see that my texts are going through, but Carlos no longer responds. Part of a quality job is the follow up when things don't go right. Because this company failed in this regard after doing a less than perfect job on laying down the floor, I can't recommend them to anyone. read more

We worked with Carlos to redo parts of our bathroom and dining room and build a new fireplace for our living room. They completed the job with a great finish and transformed the areas we got work done (please see attached before/after pictures). They proactively addressed any concerns we had and were also willing to help us with few minor jobs that we needed help with. One problem we ran into was slow procuring of materials for the job but we hear that's a common issue right now due to covid. read more

OC Construction did a project for us that started in April 2017. I found Carlos on Yelp under his previous business name Olguin Drywall and Painting. Initially, I asked Carlos to give me a quote on Drywall Repair and Painting. We noticed water damage in one of our rooms and we wanted to get it fixed. Lesson for all homeowners, once you open a wall you have no idea what's behind it. It was like being one of those people on HGTV where you kept finding more damage. A project that we thought was going to be drywall repair in one room turned into Re-Siding the whole exterior of the home. There was water damage throughout the house and our deck had termite damage. To my surprise, Carlos informed me that he would be able to do the whole project. He had recently got a license as a construction contractor and his work went beyond drywall and painting. For a project that was this big, it was difficult getting contractors to come out and even provide a quote. We decided to go with Carlos. The project included: - Drywall and paint in one of our bedrooms - Install new wood flooring in that bedroom - Demo of old wood siding on exterior - Replaced nearly all windows on exterior of the house - Add Insulation and Waterproof layer to the exterior walls - Stucco Siding and Paint on Exterior of the House - Replace Electrical Panel - Patch up and paint drywall in certain rooms of the house that had damage as a result of the demo of the siding - Install two new exterior decks in the backyard. The original timeline was around 3-4 months. The project extended to around 7 months. Part of this was due to weather and us deciding if we were going to get a new deck or not. The other part was that Carlos had problems with the City to get an approval on the permit for the deck. Some cities are more strict with their rules when providing a site plan for the deck. I had to hire a third party land surveyor that would draft out a site map that showed the property lines. This was the last step I needed to complete in order for Carlos to get the final approval on the deck Overall, my wife and I are very satisfied with the work and service provided by Carlos and OC Construction. I've learned that big projects like this don't always go as planned in regards to timeline. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because getting the deck approval from the city was a headache. Other than that, I thought OC Construction did a great job on our project. I would consider using them again in the future. read more

Interior walls were showing signs of water damage. Had several contractors perform an estimate for drywall repair, but ended up selecting OC Construction because of their prompt responsiveness, competitive quote, and willingness to answer our questions. Carlos was cooperative in putting together a project plan that suited our needs and schedule. The project started and finished per the estimated timeline. They also provided additional touch ups after the project ended, which was appreciated. Overall, we were pleased with OC Construction's work. 4.5 stars. One thing that would've made this a 5-star review is to have gotten regular updates throughout the project (e.g. what was done today + plans/schedule for the next day). OC Construction would provide this information when asked, but it took more effort on my end to figure everything out and plan accordingly. read more

Unreliable - don't waste your time. Carlos came for an inspection to give us an estimate on some drywall work. He never followed up with an estimate. Net effect, I'm now one more week without the use of my office, laundry room and garage parking. read more

Carlos and his team at OC Construction did an amazing job remodeling our backyard and reconstructing an exterior wall. The scope included demolition of the existing deck and wall, reconstruction of the wall including stucco and paint, construction of a new Trex deck, construction of a swing, adding electrical outlets, and relocating plumbing. Carlos and his team are very detail oriented. They worked hard to make sure the end result was high quality and met my very particular requirements. I highly recommend OC construction. read more

We hired OC Construction to replace our house siding and we discussed the siding options. Carlos recommended James Hardie siding because it would last longer. We are happy that we went with that choice because the siding looks very durable and beautiful. We also re-hired OC Construction to repaint the entire interior of the rental property and the paint on the walls looked so fresh. They were able to perform the job on time. read more

Carlos and his firm did a roof patching job for me. He was very professional and his crew did high quality work. We were very happy with our project's results. I would highly recommend Carlos for any roof related work. read more

Responsive to set appointments. They viewed our project and promised a written estimate then ghosted us.

Carlos and his team were subcontracted as part of a larger A/C installation in our home and were tasked with patching and painting three of our walls. I can say that Carlos' team did A+ quality work and our walls now look fantastic. In terms of scheduling, we had a baby that was out of the house during construction, so we wanted the job to be done as soon as possible. Carlos accommodated our needs and moved things around to finish the job over three sessions in less than a week. While there were some hiccups in communication around the appointment times and paint color, I know Carlos did his best and the outcome was positive, so I am still giving five stars. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Carlos and his crew. I contacted Carlos under his former business, Olguin Drywall and Painting, to get a quote on painting our house. Our foyer had obvious water damage around the windowsills that had come from bad construction before we bought the place, and so I hired him to redo the drywall in that room, and to fix our back stairs. After the old drywall was off in our foyer, it was obvious that more needed to be done... several beams had rotted completely through and the window frames were beyond repair, so Carlos worked up a quote for effectively completely redoing our walls and window frames in that room. The back stairs also ended up needing to be replaced, something that I suspected would be true before I hired him for the work. He also repaired a water damaged front balcony. Throughout the entire process, which took several weeks total, Carlos and his crew were polite and hard-working. Carlos consulted with me on the house painting and the final result looks great. He threw in some extra work on replacing some of the wood around the edge of the roof, and has taken extra care in reattaching some of the fixtures that had to come down for the work. Every time we discovered unexpected extra work, Carlos was very clear with me about options, and also presented clearly written change orders. Communication was top notch throughout. Carlos is a nice guy and clearly takes pride in doing a job properly, and can do a wide range of construction projects. I'll definitely look him up again if I have another piece of contracting work in the house. read more

We needed to replace some drywall that had been removed due to flooding. Carlos and his team replaced the drywall and textured and painted the walls to match the rest of the room. The results were exactly what we were looking for, and they were all a pleasure to work with, even finishing on time despite having to reschedule one day due to a power outage in our neighborhood. read more

Every contractor has to make a thousand little micro-decisions as they're doing a job. Carlos and his team always made fantastic decisions that consistently turned into fantastic results. Carlos and his team replaced the most falling-apart stairs you've ever seen, and had to do it in an awkward location up a very steep hill. The result, despite the inherent challenges, was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have asked for better. They were always on-site working until the job was done, which was absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use OC Construction again! read more

Carlos and team are amazing! They showed up on time, with a mask to repair and paint our walls and hallway after a flood. Carlos has worked in our property for 10 years. He is reliable, trustworthy and has become a family friend. I recommend Carlos and his team for dry wall and painting. read more

I had two places need siding repair. Got 2 quotes from vendors used by HOA in the past, however one vendor I am not happy with their past work, and another one quoted way too high. so I looked on Yelp, and noticed OC Construction had pretty positive reviews. So decided to get a quote from them. Carlos was very responsive, and came over very quickly looked at the situation and provided me with his quote. I liked the way he communicated, and the very reasonable price he quoted, and I felt I can trust Carlos. So after some back&forth with HOA, proceeded the siding repair with OC construction. Carlos and team able to fit my little project the very next week, and come prepared with all needed and able to fix the siding within a day! They also cleaned up really well after. I can't be happier with Carlos and team, will definitely recommend them. read more

I contracted Carlos to rebuild my exterior staircase and paint my interior walls. Carlos was extremely responsive from the get-go -- He came out to survey my property and provided a quote very quickly. He also managed to pull the necessary city permit within a day during COVID when construction work was restricted. Although I wasn't even at the property, Carlos sent me updates and pictures throughout the whole rebuilding process. When I inspected the work and wanted things corrected, he came back quickly to improve it. Carlos and his team also came out to paint my interior walls the day right after I'd asked if he could help with it. They were very efficient. Thanks Carlos. read more

OC Construction rebuilt our back porch and created a beautiful new redwood deck with steps on one side and a ramp on the other. Our old porch was a concrete block with an irrigation water pipe running through it. They moved the water pipe into the crawlspace and demolished the concrete structure. All of the bids for the project were fairly close, but I selected OC because the owner, Carlos, was very responsive to any questions and quickly returned calls and emails. He also visited the worksite regularly to make sure things were going according to plan. The work crew clearly worked hard to keep on schedule and get the project finished on time. I would strongly recommend OC Construction. Our new porch is beautiful and was built with care and attention to detail. read more

Carlos and his team do beautiful work. He is incredibly friendly, communicative, and detail-oriented. We appreciated his prompt quote and scheduling to put our home back together after some water damage to our floors and have already planned to hire him again. Highly recommend! read more

I had an ancient 1980's cedar deck that was falling apart. Carlos came out and took a look at what needed to be done. A few days later, he gave me a great quote, and I hired him to replace my deck. Carlos and his crew came over and had my old deck removed in a few hours. A few weeks later, when my Trex materal arrived, Carlos and his team delivered it to my house and got right to work. They were very professional and hard working. Carlos kept me informed on what tey would be doing every day. They finished up this morning 7-1-21. They cleaned up my yard and left it looking better than when they got there. I highly recommend Carlos. I'm planning on using him again todo some remolding and upgrades . read more

We hired Carlos and his team for a major kitchen remodel in December 2016(full gut and opening of walls) and we couldn't be happier with the results and interaction throughout the process. Carlos was extremely professional, kindhearted (our two and a half year old loved him), priced his work very fairly and adhered strictly to the suggested project timeline. During the whole process it was very easy to reach Carlos and communicate changes in design plan, ask questions and express concerns. He was patient, a very good listener and was excellent in offering suggestions/alternative and use his expertise to help us achieve a beautiful end result. Carlos showed a wonderful sense of pride and accountability in his work. Even after the project was done Carlos made sure to come back, check on the work to make sure everything settled properly and was up to all our standards. We enjoyed working with Carlos so much that we hired him for some other work we needed on the house and everything turned out perfect. We highly recommend OC Construction! read more
