DecoTal Construction & Remodeling Inc

I took many bids from others, including those with high marks on Angie's List.  Ophir was referred to me by a friend and competitively bid on this project (and another project that is still underway).  He was also a good fit for my project - I received bids from those who just wanted to do the "big" fixes of what I needed to have done and would not take on all the minor "honey do" fixes.  I had others who only bid on the cosmetic work and did not have the breadth of skill needed for all my repairs and upgrades.  Ophir can do (and will do) it all.  He takes the time to work with you, and is extremely responsive.  I am a workaholic and often cannot take time during normal working hours to deal with issues related to this project.  Ophir is very accessible (days, nights, weekends) and makes sure any questions or issues I may have are promptly addressed.  He has helped me greatly in making choices for some of my cosmetic upgrades - I showed him pictures off the internet of things I liked, and he took the time to pre-select samples of materials targeted just to my tastes (and conveniently dropped them off for me) to help me make decisions more quickly.  The quality of work is strong - the structutral work passes the city inspections and the cosmetic work is visually clean and precisely done.  It is very apparent that the work was done by a professional.  He and his crews arrive promptly for their work, they keep the work areas relatively tidy, take care to cover and protect areas not part of the construction, and are respectful of the neighbors.  He also absorbed many of the small fixes into the bigger project, no extra charge, and worked with me to find creative and cost effective solutions for things unexpectedly uncovered along the way.  At the project outset, we worked together to document in detail the scope of work and the payment installments, including how much would be set aside pending final satisfactory completion of the job.  He brought his credentials and proof of insurance (saving me the time to go digging for that information), and during the project he carefully went back to that paperwork to clearly document payment installments against completion of certain stages in the project.  Scope changes were separately assessed, agreed upon and documented.  As unexpected complications were discovered that were part of the agreed upon scope of the project, Ophir handled these and stood by his agreed upon bid.  Overall Ophir is a consummate professional and I look forward to working with him in the future.
