Dishonest, poor quality of work, doesn't finish the job, does not answer phone calls.

Oscar is a horrible businessman. I hired him to waterproof the underside of my deck. He never showed up the first day that he scheduled. No phone call. He then finally showed 2 days later with 2 workers and asked me to borrow a ladder since he forgot his. Workers wouldn't show until 12pm and sometime they wouldn't show up until 2pm. There were days they didn't even show up. The workers were not clean or organized. They never cleaned up the site after they were done. Fast forward to completion of the project. It looks like crap. The gutter leaks and the workers butchered the soffits. Oscar said he would fix it but would never show up. He promised me that they will be out on Monday 10/24. They never showed up and no phone call. no response from Oscar. I reached out to Oscar this morning and he said he was sorry. I told him I am going to hire someone to fix it and hold him responsible for the payment. His responses was "sorry, I'll pay! I asked him does this mean your not going to fix it. No response. So I'm forced to go to yelp and complain. This was my wife's project that she wanted done. Unfortunately, she passed before she got a chance to have it done. I spent a year looking for the right contractor. This is the only time I have ever had an issue with a contractor. I'm not big on complaining but this company is horrible. I will mot recommend OG construction. I have plenty of pictures, texts and emails to prove that OG construction is a horrible company read more

Óscar essentially stole money from us. He quoted us for a job that we later found out he wasn't licensed to do. This came up when he had excuse after excuse as to why our permits weren't done (he never submitted them). We paid him half up front for materials, etc. It's been a year, and he still hasn't refunded our full amount. DO NOT HIRE! read more

My deck looks incredible! Despite the bumps to get it there, which I am glad I inquired; what people don't understand is why the process takes as long as it does. The request for the building permit goes to the county; every county has a different requirement and, compliments of COVID, the county takes what feels like a few years to approve or reject the plans: all subjective to how that county clerk is feeling that day. Then the materials get ordered, but COVID had​ delayed that by months as well. Once the materials arrive, then the magic happens and a deck appears by the time you get back from the office. Highly recommended. read more

OG Construction Services - Decks & Railing Near Me

DO NOT HIRE! 1. The scope of the work was to cut back our large existing deck, add stairs using leftover Trex from deck and a new patio below with pavers, pavers were purchased by us. I am an Interior Designer with 17 years' experience. I gathered all my own dimensions and put together plans, demo and new so the info was all there and clear. They came and reviewed the job site and gave a price for full scope. There was no mention that anything would be an issue or was beyond their ability. Oscar had other projects that he was wrapping up so it was confirmed the project wouldn't start for 2 weeks, but no real timeline. We paid our 50% deposit per contract, which is meant to be used for buying materials needed to start our job. 2. As the weeks passed, I had to be the one to follow up, didn't hear back for days until Oscar finally replied with a start date. I was told the whole project would take less than a week given the weather. I had said that I wanted it done before Memorial Day and given the fact that they started early May and the timeline he gave we shouldn't have a problem. 3. They finally began work and were moving along nicely, deck cut back, stairs in place and ready to receive railings AND then came the lies, excuses and delays. I sat with my deck half done for over a week while Oscar was apparently waiting on the railings. I went online an confirmed the railing kits were readily available, so I was confused as to why we were waiting so long, he then tells me that someone from the team ordered the wrong railings and that he has placed a new order for the correct ones, which as I stated are readily available. We set for another week waiting for the railings, but at this point, my deck was already cut in half with floating stairs, so I had no choice but to wait for the railings. But while we were waiting on the railings there was no work being done to the patio area in preparation for that part of the scope. 4. Flash forwards the railings come in, it's completed, but past my deadline. At this point I lost all faith, confidence and trust, so I had to fire them. I could not continue to move forward in good faith and have them complete the patio portion of my project. I don't buy anything that Oscar is telling me, and I have already waited a month at this point to have the deck portion of my project completed when I was told it would be a week. 5. After I made him aware that he was not going to be working on the second phase of the project I took time to look at the deck and railing work complete and found a variety of issues, I made him aware of the issues with pictures and he said he would come by to look. I finally got him to come over and look at them, we discussed my issues, and he was going to come back to fix them, and he just disappeared. Oscar will not return my calls, won't respond to text messages so here I am left with work that is the not the quality I paid for. 6. Another item to point out is that throughout this entire process there was never clear communication on the schedule what days they would be working how long they would be working, but Oscar continued to ask me for deposits so that he could move onto the next phase. In closing, do not hire this company, they will take your money, drag out your project, provide mediocre quality and leave you with issues that are now yours to deal with. read more

Avoid this business at all cost, the owner Oscar Garcia has multiple listings with similar business names on yelp,google and home advisor . He is quick to take your business and initial deposit but after that good luck in reaching him. The different numbers listed for this business will lead you to different Individuals who all say they are Oscar. After I paid my initial deposit I had to do all the follow-ups and it was excuse after excuse for the delay. The nightmare came when I realized I made a bad decision to go with him in the first place and asked for my deposit. This is still ongoing. Advising I would report him to DPOR or the BBB did not create any urgency or nervousness he simply stated I have been through this before. Hard financial lesson learned. Go with a reputable company and read through all the reviews. read more

Poor quality and value. I hired OG to strip a deck down to it's foundation and replace all wood, included deck rails and steps. This was three years ago on a rental property. Oscar Garcia charged me $3,333 for the work. My tenant has now vacated and I had contractors inspect the entire property, including the deck. After three years, the deck looks worse that before they replaced the wood! That is because they used nails instead of screws to secure the wood. The result in 3 years is that all the nails are popping up, the wood is warped and the slats of wood, especially on the stairs are loose! I contacted Oscar Garcia, and he says there is no warranty and I was charged a price for using nails, not screws. I was never given the option of using screws instead of nails, and of course, I don't know the long term results of using nails. Needless to say, Oscar stated he remembers telling me this, 3 years ago! Yeah right! He must have the memory of an elephant if he remembers this. The invoice doesn't not detail whether nails or screws are used, so it is evident he didn't make this clear or inform me of this. Now he wants me to pay him to come fix the deck all over again. That is not going to happen! If he is a professional contractor, he clearly new that the nails would not last and the deck would then warp, which would cause me to call him again and pay him again to fix this. Beware of this company. They are not transparent at all about what they are doing and clearly cut corners on this project. Your deck might look good now, but wait until some time has passed, it will look a hot mess! I would give him 0 stars if I could. read more

Oscar and his crew are awesome. Gave me a reasonable price to replace my gate. They worked with me to find a good time and did great work. Highly recommend! read more

Oscar and his team were friendly and professional at all times. He has been working at my house with multiple projects and I have had no issues. First, he built a deck, and then a screen porch later that year. When we signed the contract, it took couple months for the permit and paper work to go through and a couple more to finish the project. Now, I have another contract for a patio, and I trust he will continue to do an outstanding job. read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH OSCAR GARCIA. Scammer. FAIRFAX COUNTY HAS 14 CASES OPEN WITH OSCAR ON WORK HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN ON. He will be quick to take your money but will not complete the the job. I'm all for small businesses but not for ones that will be quick to cheat someone out of their money. I signed a contract on April 1, 2021 for a screen porch/deck with a gas fireplace with a stone finish and paid for the majority of the project but the project was never completed. He was not licensed until June/July 2021 but with a restricted license meaning he was still not authorized to take on our project. I've been given so many excuses on why there were delays such as not enough workers, material for the project was delivered to the wrong block, his partner cheated him and took all his money (even asking to make payments sooner than scheduled), wife got in a car accident, emergency trip out of the country, county inspector is racist (reason for one of many of the inspections failed). Oscar also was not trying to go through the county for the gas fireplace until I told him I wanted everything to go through the county. We had enough and found out through the county PERMITS WERE PLACED UNDER OUR NAMES which was never authorized. I'd give them no stars if this were an option. read more
