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

As part of the remodel on the kitchen and back porch they widened a door and took part of the wall down between the former kitchen and dining room. The space is fantastic and completely transformed from what it was. They created more space in the bathroom as well by removing a wall and doing a complete remodel on the space, including a beautiful tiled shower. It looks great and the price was such a great value as Jim really works with your budget. Some of the demo we did and then the construction crew took over from there. The entire space looks and feels completely different. A couple years ago they remodeled our garage and turned it from a leaning 1950's tear down garage into a fantastic area for us to work in. They made the ceiling higher and installed an oversized garage door for us to get larger equipment in and out. The space is fantastic and that's why we asked them to come back and do the remodel on the house. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I highly recommend them for any remodel or a new build.

I am writing to highly recommend King James Construction for your general contracting needs…read more Recently, we completed an addition to our home, this being our first major renovation, I was unsure of where to even begin! I contacted King James Construction to come out and bid the job, thinking I would get a few bids and go from there! Upon meeting the owner Jim, I felt extremely comfortable and at-ease with his gentle, soft spoke nature, and decided to move forward instantly. His knowledge of the industry, building codes and county requirements was apparent immediately, and he was very thorough and quick to respond to any questions that we had! We wanted the project completed to specific point and then wanted to finish up ourselves. Jim was more than willing to accommodate our needs! His employees are great, extremely friendly, considerate and willing to let you learn as they go! They are more than happy to take the time to explain what they are doing, what is happening next and field any questions! Our project was completed on time, and within budget. With our decision to complete the finishing details ourselves, we have continued to receive support and advice from King James Construction. Even though they have completed their portion of the job, they have been more than willing to offer advice and suggestions for us as we have worked towards completion! When you hire a contractor, you are not only are agreeing to a job to be performed, but you are inviting people into your home, and into your life for an extended period of time. I am pleased to say that ANY member of King James Construction is welcome back into our home anytime!! I highly recommend them! Warmest Regards! Randi Ruddell

Bottom line up front, J&S Contracting exceeded our expectations across the board…read more We hired J&S Contracting to enclose a loft that overlooks our living room. Jeshua initially came by to check out the project and provide an estimate. He is courteous and friendly. His knowledge, experience and insight made us feel confident J&S would do an excellent job. Due to the complex layout of the house, a loft enclose required painting and texturing of the living room and adjacent hallways, along with various areas of patching walls and ceilings. J&S completed the enclosure and challenging paint job on time and close to the estimate. We could not be happier with the results. The entire living room and loft (now bedroom number 3) look brand new. If you hadn't seen the house before you'd never think we did any work on it. Not only did J&S do incredible work, but they were also very clean and considerate. My son has had minor asthma issues in the past so they took extra care in cleaning up dry wall and sanding dust everyday. We went out of town a day before they finished and returned to an extremely clean home. As far as I'm concerned they are the only one contractor in Bend. I will consult J&S for all future work in my home. I will also refer anyone looking for a reliable contractor directly to J&S without hesitation. Special thanks again to the J&S team.

We were in constant communication and he kept me updated every step of the way. And the results were fantastic. Long review/full story: We worked together with an engineering company to draw up plans to remove a 30 ft load bearing wall. From start to finish, it was a roughly 4 month process (because of COVID) and Josh worked tirelessly from the planning process to a finished project. He does his own work and takes pride in the work that he does. He was very upfront and honest about any issues we were going to face during construction, and we worked together to find amenable solutions. Oftentimes, there are hiccups, delays, and unforeseen problems when dealing with construction and it's the contractor's job to communicate what's going on to the client and Josh is superb in this aspect. Over the 3 week construction process, we were in constant contact and tackled the problems together. Josh runs a top-notch company and his work is impeccable. There are little details in his work that tell you he really cares about what he does. You won't regret coming to Pacific Craft Construction with your project.

I cannot stress enough how refreshing this was in dealing with a contractor. They would let me know when they were planning on being at the house, what their goals were and updates on progress and any unexpected snags. The team at Pacific Craft has a keen eye on the big picture and small details of the remodel. When something came up that would delay one section of the house they had the forethought to pivot and work on another aspect of the house. They produced amazing results on the project. They have pride in their work and genuinely care about the customer and the finished project. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

What a great company Stone Fire Construction was to work with!…read more From the moment, I contacted them to do some work for us, until they just finished, Stone Fire Construction owned by Scott Bender was awesome. The communication (YES! They do communicate quickly and often) was so much better than almost any contractor we have encountered. Their cost estimate was very reasonable, they are fully licensed, insured and bonded. They met all of the contract timelines, and wow did they work hard! Scott and his team were dedicated to getting our job done on time even though they encountered issues that could not be foreseen. Everyone on the job were personable and professional. I know that reaching out to an unknown contractor can be intimidating and can make one feel very anxious. However, if you want to hire one of the good ones, then don't hesitate to contact Scott (541-610-8420) at Stone Fire Construction, I promise you won't be sorry.

He showed up an hour late in a broke down car with a "friend" and no tools even though he assessed what he would need the week before. They looked dirty and like they had a rough night partying the night before. Then left to go to Ace despite the fact the dresser came with tools and I also have my own. They left and then 2 hours later I messaged him I have plans and needed to leave. He showed back up and wanted to take the dresser to his "shop" and return in a few hours. Over a 3 day period he made up excuses on why it was taking so long, including telling me his uncle went to the hospital and died! He told me the dresser was built that day, then the next said there was missing instructions and took another day, then he said parts were missing and he had to "fabricate parts". Over these 3 days me and my kids dad tried telling him to just bring the dresser back and how uncomfortable I was. He would not bring it back until he was done. Once returned and he was paid, I moved the dresser and it fell apart. He did a ton of damage and then tried to glue it together hoping it would stay. I requested a refund and he refused to make it right and started insulting me and telling me it's my fault because I moved it. It was brand new in a box, I should be able to move it, with out it falling apart. Now I'm left to try and report him while being out $500 as a single mom. This was sooo wrong! Do not trust him!
