OK Contracting
About us
Remodeling “I’ve seen it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly.” The good. This is when you start your project off right from the beginning, getting the right architect, the right contractor, and the right price. Start off right call O.K. Contracting at 650-996-9668! A bad start to your project is like having a bad foundation; no matter what you do afterwards it will all come falling down eventually. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to homeowner’s property after they started the project on their own. “ I thought it wouldn't be a problem, I would just hire all the contractors, and do some of the work myself. I figured I could save thousands of dollars, but now my project is over budget along with my contractors, and has become a disaster…can you help me?” The ugly, is when you hire the wrong contractor that doesn’t know what they’re doing; someone who is not qualified and out for a quick buck. There are thousands of them out there, licensed and unlicensed, who are just looking to do mediocre work for double the cost. I know that contractors do have a bad name because of this; I like to call them cowboys.First of all let me introduce myself, Daniel O'Keeffe, and thank you for taking the time to look at my page.I have been working in construction now far over 20 years. I decided to start my own company because, I knew I could run a better business than the contractors I have been working for. Most other contractors only care about the money and how fast they can take it from you. That's no way to do business, why not take some pride in your work , look after your customers and in time you will reap the rewards. That is my philosophy and so far it's proven to work for me. I've never been happier at work since I started my own company and long may it continue.

Our project started in November 2013, and the first thing that Danny did his best to reduce the amount of disruption that the remodel would have on our daily lives (if that is even possible but at least he did his best). He built a temporary wall between the dining room and living room. The addition was to be adjacent to the living room, and the temporary wall was built to reduce dust between the remodel and our living area. Our living area was effectively reduced by 300 square feet.
Throughout the remodel process, Danny moved quickly and updated us daily on the progress being made. He was at the job site almost everyday and was always available via phone or e-mail if we had any questions. When there were hiccups on the job, he would contact us before moving forward with the work. Also, if the amount of work was less than expected from his original proposal, he would not charge the full amount expected for that line item. Fortunately for us, there were no major complications during this remodel, and I would like to thank Danny for making that possible as he stayed in constant communication with us.
The project was completed in March 2014, but I would take the blame for the delays in the project. The major delay came from the custom tile that we ordered which required 8 weeks to deliver. We did not expect to purchase custom tile and as a result, Danny's projected schedule was delayed, but he was very accommodating and worked with us to make sure that his crew was ready to install the tile as soon as it arrived.
Even after the remodel, Danny and his team have been very responsive. We recently had a few of our tiles come loose at the transition with the living room. He came out within 48 hours to replace the tiles.
Danny made the remodel process nearly seamless for us and continues to help us with home issues related to the remodel. He is very responsive and has a great sense of integrity. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a straightforward professional contractor for their next home project.
very quick to provide a fair priced estimate
was very clear on the plans and schedule
gotten the job done quickly and correctly
No fuss, no mess
Strongly recommend - we will use him again
The OK contractor told me that I have to pay for the time his crew started which was at 9AM until they were finished. Even though, both of these handymen left immediately for 45 minutes and returned around 9:50AM with their equipments! I paid anyway, but certainly, I will never have this company work on my house again.
"Hi , In our initial meeting you insisted on supplying all materials necessary to complete the work. However, when my professional taping and texturing personnel " not handyman "arrived at your home, none of the correct materials needed were their. Therefore had to go way and purchase them, which I did show you the receipts. I'm very sorry that you feel this way, you did avail of the Angie's list big deal coupon that I provided, which was about half the price that I normally charge. So I'm not sure what more I could've done. Having said that I would be more than happy to refund you any fees that I've charged you, that you think are incorrect, or unfair."
More importantly, however, Danny is incredibly competent. His attention to detail, problem solving capabilities, and overall drive for results are notable. He communicated at all stages of the job, and also was incredibly fair. Normally, when you hire a contractor ? you have to point out the detail and finish work to them to complete. With Danny, that is never the case ? he is always one step ahead and watching the details. It is clear he takes great pride in the job he does, and it is top quality. In fact, it?s the best quality work we?ve ever had done by a contractor. While initially, we thought his bid within range (although perhaps a wee bit high) ? we learned that in fact the bid was incredibly reasonable given the amount of work the job entailed. It was much more than we anticipated, and his cost in the end was spot on particularly given the work, quality and timeliness of completion.
We give a very strong recommendation for Danny, and plan to rehire him for any additional work we have done at the house.
