Motto Construction was founded by Otto Mundrucz, our founder, who entered the construction field in 1990 in his uncle's building company in Budapest. He became proficient in modern building practices while serving as a crew member, general laborer, and bricklayer. He later founded his own construction firm in Hungary. He constructed and renovated homes in Hungary until 2001.
In 2001, Otto joined a general contractor in Southern California, adopting American construction techniques. He mastered Californian building codes and methods. He entered the San Francisco Bay Area construction market in 2006 and obtained his general contractor license in 2008, and subsequently founded Motto Construction.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We had a fantastic experience with Motto Construction. They have:
1. Completely rebuilt our master bath. From the guidance provided during the design and materials ordering phase, to the care taken to ensure all was up to code and the wonderful quality throughout, we are just delighted. It is everything we wanted!
2. Rebuilt our back fence, replacing the shoddy materials selected by our original home builders with those made to last.
3. Made repairs after a tree limb fell and damaged that same fence.
4. Provided money saving advice for future repairs and enhancements (really taking the time to talk through these with us).
If you are looking for people who do honest, friendly and excellent work, use Motto!

Otto and his crew just completed replacing my upper deck and railing due to dry rot. Working on the 2nd story is no easy job. He was prompt with his estimate and arrived on time for the job. Can't say enough good things about Motto Construction. Highly recommended.

We recently had some work done by Motto Construction. We had the entire downstairs tile floors removed and new porcelain tile laid down (kitchen, bathroom, hallway and entryway). We ran into a few obstacles along the way-floor underneath old flooring was uneven and had to be sanded down, which delayed the project by a few days (in no way was this any fault of Otto and his crew). Throughout the entire process, they handled everything with skill and professionalism. Although they finished a few days past the original finish date (due to the unforeseen obstacles mentioned above), we were very impressed by the work done and have gotten many wonderful compliments on our new floor. Overall, very clean, organized and a great deal pricewise. We will definitely use Motto Construction for more future projects.

Motto Construction replaced two wooden chimney chases on the roof of our 75 year old house. They were timely, professional, and when the job turned into something that also required roof repair, worked closely with the roof folks to get the job done. I will use them again. FYI their quote was reasonable compared to others. Thanks Otto.

We have used this company for several jobs over the years. They installed a tankless water heater, repaired the roof, restored an old redwood deck and recently installed a new deck on the other side of the yard. They are really professional. They have great tools for any job. They don't waste any time and are very thorough. Their prices are reasonable especially considering the great job they do. I won't hesitate to call them for any future needs and recommend them highly.

Showed up quickly to provide me with a quote for a job. Took six weeks to get back to me with the estimate.
I'd moved on and selected another firm by that time.

It was a small job (installing a new overhead microwave oven) but I was looking for someone that I could also call in the future for other larger projects. He returned calls when he promised, showed up when he said he would, and completed the job with an eye to detail while still charging me a fair price. I will definitely hire Otto again for future projects, and I recommend him most enthusiastically!

A tale of two Ottos.Hired to do two bathrooms.The first was completed with great workmanship and detail.The second was done in record setting time with much less attention to detail and without full completion.Do not use his electrician.Does not believe in drop clothes or damage to anything near his work area.Overall the price was right but as the saying goes ""you get what you pay for"".

Had these guys do a couple of projects for us. Good price and clean service. Would use again..

I wish we had found Motto Construction for our kitchen remodel BUT they just finished our beautiful Epi deck remodel (1400 sq. ft.) - the most professional and talented persons we have ever had work on our property. Imagine they actually care about the outcome and actually show up and work all day - Incredible, I know. I am feverishly looking for more projects for them to work on....don't want them to ever go home!!
