    Bathroom Renovation

    John came to my house to consult on a water spot on the ceiling underneath the master bathroom. He was extremely thorough and helpful. He spent a lot of time assessing the situation and gave me detailed instructions to test and diagnose where the leak was coming from. It too a long time to determine the source of the water. I never felt any pressure and felt he had my best interests in mind. The quotes were very detailed and provided options, which I appreciated. The crew was professional, polite and punctual, explaining their work thoroughly. Their dedication to a clean workspace was also impressive, minimizing dust & garbage and ensuring the house remained livable despite the work being done. Overall, a great experience; they delivered a professional yet caring service throughout. I certainly recommend their services.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for taking the time to review our service. We enjoyed working with you and are very happy with the end result. Your request to update the entire bathroom was a good idea since the shower was going to be redone anyway. Big difference!

    Consulting on bathroom renovation

    John came to our house to consult on our bathroom renovation project. He was extremely thorough and helpful. He spent a long time answering all our questions and gave us lots of guidance since we are new to renovating. We never felt any pressure and had the sense he had our best interests in mind. In the end, we choose another contractor (whom he actually recommended), but we were so happy that we had chosen him to give us a quote as he set us on an well-informed path. Also, we were thoroughly impressed with his integrity, and we're certain that he cares a lot about his workmanship and his clients.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Megan, Thank you for your kind words and positive review. Providing clear and effective information about the construction process is always a pleasure for me. I never assume that clients are familiar with all the details and consistently encourage them to ask questions. Recognizing that they aren't construction experts is essential, which is why they rely on my expertise. Taking the time to explain processes, procedures, timelines, budgets, contract options, and design ideas in a helpful manner is crucial. Moreover, discussing everything upfront ensures there's no confusion later on. I understand that I may not always be the perfect fit for every client, and vice versa, for various reasons. Therefore, I believe offering alternatives and recommending other services providers when necessary is the right course of action. Thank you once again for your feedback and all the best John Oborne

    Structural Work & Exterior Repairs

    Exceptional service! We worked with Oborne Contracting to correct structural & other miscellaneous issues made by a previous contractor during a whole home renovation, and their expertise was very apparent. John Oborne's initial site visit showed his professionalism & attention to detail as he quoted for our business. He not only took the time to explain (in detail) the work we wanted completed, but also walked our house showing us areas of concern he thought we should address. But at no time did we ever feel pressured, we felt (and continue to feel) that John truly wanted the best outcomes for us. Oborne also provided a detailed welcome package (and long list of references) so we could get to know the company & their policies before signing. And after completing many reference checks we felt very confident signing with John and team As work began we were very impressed by the quality of the work & the team. The work quotes were precise, detailed, and they delivered in line to the initial scope of work (we actually contracted for additional work to be done while they were on site given the great experience we were having.) Communication was top-notch; they laid out clear timelines and were always available for any questions. The crew was professional, incredibly polite and punctual, explaining their work thoroughly. Despite having work completed over a three week period we never felt out of place in our own home! The team made for a very relaxed experience. Their dedication to a clean workspace was also impressive, minimizing dust & garbage and ensuring our home remained livable despite the structural work being done. Overall, a fantastic experience; they prioritized our needs, delivering a professional yet caring service throughout. Highly recommended! And a special shout-out to Jeff, Yassir, Jordan, and Vito. Thank you for everything.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Nick, Working for and with you and your wife was a genuine pleasure, ensuring you received the service and work quality you rightly deserved and should have experienced from the outset of your renovation project from the previous contractor. It's unfortunate, though not surprising, to field sales calls for repairs or takeovers of projects gone awry. It's disheartening to note that the frequency of requests for correcting work or taking over projects has surpassed what one might typically imagine. This surge is fueled by the unfortunate combination of poor workmanship, inexperienced constructors, lack of pride and the presence of fraudsters, all contributing to a troubling epidemic that seems to have intensified over the past several years. Your definitly not alone in falling victim to this trend, and fortunately, your situation, while challenging, did not escalate to an unbearable scale. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to assisting you with any future renovation needs you may have. Kind regards, The Oborne Team

    Basement transformation

    We recently hired Oborne Contracting to complete our basement, and overall, we are pleased with the results. We believe they did a very good job considering the complexities involved. The team at Oborne Contracting demonstrated professionalism throughout the entire process. They were responsive to our questions and concerns, and their communication was clear and timely. The project manager kept us informed about the progress and any unexpected issues that arose. The quality of the workmanship was commendable and the attention to detail is evident in the finishing touches The team made every effort to ensure that the completed space met our specifications and preferences. The project was completed within a reasonable timeframe, and the entire team was respectful of our home during the construction process. While no project is without its challenges, there were a few minor hiccups along the way, but the team addressed them promptly, demonstrating a commitment to customer satisfaction. It's this dedication to resolving issues that made us happy we hired them. In terms of areas for improvement, there were a couple of instances where the timeline was slightly delayed. However, it's important to note that these delays were a result of unforeseen issues and our extra work requests not captured in the original scope of work and did not significantly impact the overall project. In conclusion, we would recommend Oborne Contracting for any basement completion projects. Their commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction is commendable. If you're looking for a reliable contractor with a good balance of skill and professionalism, Oborne Contracting is a solid choice.

    Thank you Oborne Contracting !

    The collaboration with Oborne Contracting has been an outstanding journey from the beginning to the end. Our initial connection with the company was facilitated by a strong recommendation from a dear friend. Upon our meeting with John, the company owner, we were thoroughly impressed by his extensive knowledge and experience in the construction field. John not only listened attentively to our ideas and needs but also contributed many of his own for transforming our space, this set him apart from others. His commitment to excellence was evident in his meticulous site documentation, reinforcing our confidence in the quality of his work. Despite exploring two other highly recommended online contractors, none provided the level of attention and dedication that John did. Although John's estimate was slightly higher than others, we were confident that the value he offered, along with the extra care and quality we desired, justified the investment. John suggested a Cost-Plus Contract to optimize costs, a decision we agreed upon before promptly hiring Oborne Contracting. We relied on Oborne Contracting to handle all the permit requirements and that went without a hitch. We also took advantage of the interior design and décor consultation services provided by Georgia Oborne Interiors, an essential component of the Oborne Contracting team. Georgia's charming demeanor and exceptional attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations. The synergy between John and Georgia played a pivotal role in streamlining the entire process, surpassing what we initially anticipated. Our main floor and primary bedroom and bathroom now exude a stunning aesthetic, making us feel like we're living in a home décor magazine every day. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to John, Georgia, and the entire Oborne Contracting team for turning our vision into a reality and recommend them to everyone.

    Answer from pro:

    We deeply appreciate your thoughtful and candid review. Working with you was truly enjoyable, and we're pleased to have earned and sustained your trust throughout the project. Having Georgia Oborne Interiors as your design consultant was instrumental in streamlining various aspects of the project. We sincerely hope that the renovations bring you enduring joy for many years to come. Regards John

    Basement

    John and his team are terrific. There were two modest jobs to do in our basement. They assessed the jobs with precision and completed them with excellence. Communication and scheduling between us, the team leads and the trades was clear and comfortable. I found them to be a very professional organization.

    Consistently good work and good referrals.

    Oborne has been our first phone call for over a decade now, both for the big jobs that need a general contractor and for reliable referrals for trades on smaller jobs. Most recently, we asked for a referral for an electrician to install an EV charger, and their recommendation - Rehoboth Electrical Services - was great. Rehoboth gave us a reasonable estimate, showed up on time, worked safely, answered some questions I had, finished the one-day job in one day and left the job site clean, pretty much everything you want from a contractor. Working with Oborne and anyone they've referred us to are always kind, consistent, drama-free professionals, and it's quite reassuring to feel like that class of tradespeople are one email away.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello M & D Always a pleasure to help. We are happy to provide referrals to our clients as we trust our trades. Not every project requires trades to go through the General Contractor, and if we can help our clients save money we will. Thank you for being loyal clients throughout the years. Regards John

    Bathroom Reno

    We were very pleased with the results of our project. We gutted the existing bathroom, including the removal of a linen cupboard and converted a bathtub into a walk-in shower. The Oborne team were very reliable, punctual, polite and did a good job keeping the workspace clean. They did a great job with the tiling, making an extra effort to ensure the patterns flowed well across the wall and in the shower. The job did take longer than estimated, but the results were worth the wait.

    Answer from pro:

However if you have any concerns or if you feel there was any misunderstanding about the project timeline, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We want to ensure that all our clients are satisfied with our services and have a clear understanding of our processes.

    Bathroom Reno

    I had the pleasure of engaging with John, the owner of Oborne Contracting, for construction consultation service on a second-floor reconfiguration project that would include 2 bathrooms in my home that I was considering. I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. First and foremost, John's knowledge of construction and renovation is outstanding he displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that helped me understand the costs involved, the process and the time requirements for the potential renovation. During the consultation, he took the time to thoroughly understand my vision and needs for the project. He listened attentively to my ideas and offered valuable suggestions and insights that I hadn't even considered. I wholeheartedly recommend Oborne Contracting for construction consultation service. They've earned my trust and appreciation
