Omega Construction and Handyman Services

Julio and Maria are the best Team I have ever worked with! I am a Realtor and used them to remodel one of my rental units in Vallejo. They were so professional and speedy I was shocked! They went way overboard in helping me get it ready for sale including, setting up my alarm systems, showing a few agents when I could not be there etc. The quality of Julio's work is superb and they are truly nice people to work with. I would not even think of interviewing anyone else. After you read this review, hire Julio.

The short story, for those who skim reviews: Omega Construction is the best! Stellar communication, polite and professional workers, and top-notch work with quality materials!

For those who like the unabridged story, please read on.

Upon purchasing our 1987 manufactured home, in September, we hired the ""local favorite"" contractor, who had done work on the home before the sale, to replace all of the HVAC ducting under the house. The job was supposed to be finished before we moved in, but wasn't actually completed until more than a week later. Nevertheless, because a number of our neighbors raved about the quality of his work, we hired him again, for two jobs that were supposed to take less than a week. His workers began one of the jobs--very poorly--and after a series of no-shows and no-contacts that stretched over more than a month, we considered the job abandoned, ordered quality parts, and finished the botched job ourselves. (And later learned that the other job he'd recommended was completely unnecessary.)

Shortly after this, we discovered large soft spots in our kitchen floor (which was covered in brand new linoleum). We found a new contractor with a reported 40 years' experience repairing mobile and manufactured homes, and he came out at the end of January to give us an estimate. He suspected leaky plumbing might be spraying upward and softening the subfloor, and he gave us a verbal quote for the repair. Two weeks later, our claims adjuster came out and advised that there was no way to confirm the cause of loss as water damage until the flooring was cut open to reveal the pipes beneath, as the plumbing was enclosed within a moisture barrier.

We called the new contractor again, to hire him, and more than once he said he was on the road and would call us back, but failed to do so. After a few more calls from us, he scheduled the job for March 4. The night before, he called us to say he'd been injured with a circular saw and would call us back to schedule the job for the following weekend. We had no confidence that he would call us (he never did), so the next day, my wife contacted three contractors directly from their Yelp pages to request estimates. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, Maria from Omega Construction replied by email and arranged for Julio to come to our house two days later. We had a detailed WRITTEN estimate by the end of that business day, and by the end of that week, Julio and Eric had come out and completed the job. (Incidentally, there was no water leak--thus no insurance claim--rather, the problem was that our floors are made of 3/4"" PARTICLE BOARD.) Oh, and those other two contractors from whom my wife had requested estimates? The second one called the day Julio and Eric were repairing our floor; we never heard from the third.

We are so pleased with the professionalism of everyone at Omega--evidenced by both their excellent communication and their quality work--that we will be hiring them in the future to replace the substandard plumbing that the previous owners had failed to replace when it was fully covered by a recall.

I'm so relieved to find these guys! The work completed quickly and beautifully. Julio worked with our limited budget, was on time for the estimate appt and the work, completed very quickly and efficiently, and we love our beautiful new fence, gate and front porch. They actually went beyond what I expected. I'll never use another contractor as long as these guys are around.

Had an appointment for Julio to come over and give me an estimate, the appointment window was between 9-12 on a Sunday, he never showed up, never called, nothing. If this is the way you treat potential customers I want nothing to do with you or your business.

We have used Julio for several years now for everything. I initially started working with Julio in 2014 when our rental condo flooded and caused severe damage. We had to tear out everything down to the studs. Julio was amazing. He did everything! Julio fully rebuilt our 2 bed/2 bath condo with 2 new bathrooms (with beautiful new tile work), all new drywall, electrical, plumbing, lighting, flooring for the entire condo (including all the City of Richmond permits, which was very cumbersome), and a beautiful new kitchen. Julio did it beautifully and on time. Since then, we have used Julio to do a face lift on our main home when we sold it, and he does all the repairs on all our other rentals. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. Julio is so hardworking and honest and just a really good guy.

i own a general contractors rental business and wanted to give our show room a new face. contacted outside of the city due to high pricing and came across Omega. fast response with onsite quote. i had some ideas in mind and with their professional opinion made some
adjustments and our plan to remodel was better than expected. Julio was adept in all the suggestions , job was done in a timely manner as promised with no bumps in the process. Omega was outstanding and i look forward to hiring them in the future. highly recommend

No. No. And NO. Contacted them in early September for a simple fence replacement and repair. They told me they could start mid October. Did an estimate Sept. 19, I had a few minor questions and changes on the original estimate. I wrote to them requesting the revised estimate and wrote that I was planning on using them. After a couple weeks I got a call from the office person and we went over details, she said I would be getting an estimate soon. I waited and waited. Sent another email and no response. Sent another one TODAY--Oct 17, The week they said they would be able to start the work, asking where the estimate was and what should I do. They sent me a curt email telling me that they are way too busy and to find someone else. WOW. Left me hanging for almost 6 weeks. Anyone know a GOOD contractor to fix a fence that desperately needs it?

I had a flood in my home and after the water damage restoration was complete my home looked stripped. I wanted to cry. I decided to hire Omega Construction based on their positive reviews on Yelp to bring my home back to life. They did a fabulous job. You would never know that I had open walls and no flooring. It looks better than it did before the flood. It was also a pleasure to do business with Maria who is the wife of Julio and handles all the logistics. Very professional and I will be hiring them again to do work on my home.

I read a lot of reviews of the local contractors in my area and decided to go with Omega Construction. I called for an estimate and Julio came out the same day to estimate the work needed on some flooring issues in my bathroom. We agreed on the price on new flooring and other services in my bathroom and we were ready to go.
As Julio was working on my bathroom, he made sure I understood what he was doing throughout the day. There were a few more issues he found as he was working and he explained in detail what needed to be done. I always expect some issues to come up as our house is older, built in the 1960s.
Julio's team worked very well and they cleaned up nicely afterwards. The flooring was reinforced and looks really nice. A vanity, mirror cabinet and toilet bowl were installed perfectly. I believe Omega Construction is fairly priced and I already know that if I need something done on my house in the future, I will call Omega Construction.

Julio gave me a new door and trim that matches all of the other trim in the house at a great price and in record time. The door is exactly what I needed and I appreciate how quickly he got it done. Highly recommended.
