Price was competitive and he really did deliver on turning our house into the home we always envisioned it could be. Our family got a little bigger and didn't want a "gaudy" addition. Everything flows and is really well constructed. No continuous problems a year later. In fact he hasn't had to come back at all since the c of o. Though he's always welcome here. His crew were really nice guys and we were never once worried about having strangers around when we weren't home.

I contracted with Dave Ocejo and his team to fully renovate and redesign my kitchen and half bath…read moreand to build a new backyard deck. The interior renovation was a full-blown "down to the studs" project, that included opening up a load-bearing wall and the structural changes needed to accommodate that change. Also, included was opening up an existing doorway to install sliders to the deck. The new kitchen and half bath included all new plumbing; electrical wiring, fixtures and lighting; HVAC ducts: porcelain tile flooring; granite counter tops and the installation of new kitchen cabinets and appliances and a bathroom vanity. The backyard deck was built with Timbertech decking and Veranda composite railing. I'm very happy with the way the project turned out. Dave and his guys, Javier and Dennis, did an outstanding job. The guys working on the job are skilled, focused and courteous. They are very careful not to disrupt the remainder of the household beyond their work area. They arrive promptly, communicate well throughout the project and clean up everyday. They repect your home as they would their own. Javier is especially attentive to detail, conscientious, and very talented. I love the way the kitchen, bathroom and deck look, but maybe more important are the structural improvements Dave made to my almost 90 year-old house along the way. One of the main reasons I decided to contract with Dave was that during our first walk-through at my home he noticed that my floor was sagging between my kitchen and dining room. He immediately went down to the basement, pointed out a cracked floor joist and said this is where we need to start. None of the other contractors I was interviewing noticed or took the time to point that out. There is a Lally column and a repaired joist in place in the basement now that makes me feel good about my choice. We also encountered a similar problem as we opened the kitchen ceiling and found damaged floor joists on the second floor of my house. Again, Dave knew what had to be done. He added additional cross-hatched framing to the existing floor joists to provide the needed structural integrity. So, yes, my new kitchen, deck and bathroom are beautiful to look at, but behind the walls, my home is better then ever and that's a good feeling.

With any issue that would arise, he would promptly address and fix. Would I use him again? Yes, in a heart beat.

We hired them to undertake the project and it was an absolute pleasure working with them. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, reliable, and attentive to our needs and desires. Before the project, our house looked tired and outdated with flaking white paint that made it look shabby and old. We think it was original 1940s siding! Allied completely transformed our home, giving it a fresh and modern look that we absolutely love. We chose Certainteed shingle look that looks like real wood, and the craftsmanship is simply amazing. The attention to detail and precision with which they worked is evident in every inch of our house. The entire project took a few months to complete due to supply, but it was well worth the wait. The team was always on time, worked efficiently, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. They also cleaned up after themselves each day, which made the process much more manageable for us. We loved working with Matt, Jason and crew

While it is currently running (knock on wood), a guest recently remarked that the filter on my external fan unit looked dirty and that you're supposed to get annual maintenance on these units. As part of the Yelp message process, I left my contact information and provided two photos. Eventually, Urban Mechanical sent a message via Yelp to contact them via phone. I called by phone and spoke to the owner, Hector. He looked at my Yelp information and confirmed my request. He then told me that he had a 4-week backlog of appointments and apologized that he didn't have time at the moment to service my request. He said that if I texted him my contact info directly, he could reach out to me if there were any cancellations in the next 4 weeks. Although Urban Mechanical didn't have any appointment openings to service my request, I appreciate their transparency instead of just ghosting me. If they can be transparent about their scheduling, I am confident that they will be transparent about their work. EDIT: I received a call from Miguel a few days later that a cancellation happened -- he actually followed up, which doesn't always happen with other vendors. He came over at the appointed time. He had shoe covers to prevent tracking stuff indoors from his work boots! He did the inspection of the interior and exterior unit and cleaning. Miguel explained to me what he was doing and why and had no problems whatsoever in answering my questions. (I was like a kid asking "obvious" questions, but I really didn't know much about the AC system -- that exterior unit "filter" I described earlier was actually a coil.). Miguel was very thorough with the cleaning. The exterior unit was really dirty and he had heavy duty cleaner fluid and attached the bottle to my lawn hose and washed down the unit. Then, he dried it up with his towel. Miguel did find some potential mildew/mold build up, but this required installing a UV light, which was not covered in this service/inspection call (which is fine). He would prepare a proposal with several options to address that. In conclusion, Urban Mechanical has excellent customer service and does thorough work, so they deserve this 5-star review.
