Pacific Blue Construction

Description Of Work:
We live in a 1930-​built 3-​bedroom with an interior courtyard as the center-​piece of the home. The kitchen was mostly original and the walls and closets disrupted the flow from living room to dinning room to kitchen. Oren championed a project as architect and designer to create an open-​floor-​plan across the kitchen, dining room and living room and including a new deck that dramatically connected our home and new guest bathroom that was sleek and modern. The result is a wide-​open, beautifully contemporary living space with atrium-​like glass doorways and windows and a calming beach-​living feel that includes wide-​paneled floors and white walls and cabinetry.
General Comments:
This is debatable but behind the marriage to my loving wife and birth of my two daughters, working with Oren was one of the best decisions I have made. Picking a home-​design partner is complicated as there is a lot of (mis)information and competition.
1) He is an architect, designer, contractor, budgetiere and chief-​in-​charger of vendors. He has a vision. He manages the vision. He executes the plan and is accountable. Not only is there no grey-​area of any decision or responsibility, he is constantly bringing to the table new ideas, vendors and solutions. Project management was seamless. His crew was top-​notch, loyal and very clean and courteous. And, every last detail was accounted for and completed. No ego, all execution.
2) Fantastic design sense. My wife is a product designer and graduate from design school. She has opinions on details and knows what she likes. A month into the project my jaw was on the floor as she said over and over again– «Oren, whatever you think is best.» What??? Amazing. We trusted his instincts as if they were our own and we were pleasantly surprised on how everything came together in impeccable style.
3) He respected our budget and always came up with solutions that had us in mind first. His vendors and suppliers were always cheaper than what we could find our own. He worked closely with me on an itemized plan and empowered us to help in places that we could. Nothing seemed bloated or excessive. Rather, he prides himself on creative solutions that — not only stay on budget– but make the overall design more interesting and unique.
4) Spent a lot of time thinking about how we wish to live and how we wish to grow into our home over the next several year. A redesign is upgrading, tearing down and replacing. With Oren, it is more about room flow, materials, holistic scheme and an overall feeling of the completed project. We thought we were updating the kitchen wing and when we were finished, we had a new house.
5) Oren is a good guy. After many morning meetings, we feel like he is genuine friend that we trust and enjoy spending time with. We would happily work with him again and have already recommended him to other people– who are starting projects together.

We couldn’t be happier with Oren’s work! He was on time and on budget, upfront and informative throughout our entire kitchen remodel. I’m picky and demanding as a client and Oren delivered. From helping to pick out countertops and flooring to cabinet styles and even grout color (who knew there were so many variations of grey???), Oren helped make decisions easy. He also did what was right, not always taking the «easy route.» We had 5 contractors come in and provide estimates and he was the only one we felt at ease with. He was always on time and always arrived with a smile! He wasn’t the cheapest of the bunch (he also wasn’t the most expensive), but he was well worth it! His team was at the house working fast — weekends and even holidays. He went above and beyond and we highly recommend him and his services! We love our kitchen!!!

The best.

We just wrapped up our third and most significant project with Oren Osovski and while they were all great, this was the best. We hired Oren as our typical 80’s condo kitchen was basically crumbling and becoming unusable. Initially we thought we’d keep the same basic layout and just replace everything with new fixtures but Oren came to us as he always as with a fabulous design that gave us more storage, more functionality, and transformed our entire house — all within the same expected budget range.
I really recommend Oren if you’re looking to transform your house. He’s easily the best contractor we’ve ever used.

This company would make you WANT to start construction on your house — they make the process so painless and the result so beautiful that it’s actually a pleasure. Oren Osevski, the owner, has a design background, so their meticulous attention to quality and detail is matched by their aesthetic expertise and practical knowledge of room flow. They did a full-​house renovation for us, from floor to ceiling, plans to completion, in FOUR MONTHS. I could not have been more pleased. Everything was on time, on budget, on paper, and as promised, if not better. The crews are talented, polite, tidy and experts in their respective areas — everyone’s work ethic was excellent. We love our beautiful house, and we were actually sorry to see the Pacific Blue team go. We would gladly keep working with them, if only we had more property to upgrade!

Oren Osovski of Pacific Blue Construction is the best contractor ever. We expanded a master bathroom and created and renovated closets. He also fixed a number of things in our old house that had been neglected over the years. The master bath is more beautiful and functional than we could have imagined and the experience of planning and then the execution of the construction project was fun and painless. We were on time and on budget. Oren is more than a contractor. He is able to advise on design and decoration of the space, alleviating the need for a designer. He is positive and confident and brings so much experience to the table that you can rely on him to make the small decisions and free you from that worry. He asks you to do homework – choosing tile, paint color and fixtures, but guides you so that those choices are easier. His workers are respectful and just as obsessive about perfection as is Oren and his most concerned client. Oren is talented and quick at resolving the most complex design and construction challenges. You may pay a bit more for Oren, but he is well worth it and you will save in the long run. I recommend Pacific Blue Construction! I can’t wait to do another project with them.

Oren Osovski is outstanding! Our most recent home remodel, which included a complicated master suite renovation (bathroom, walk in closet, and bedroom), was the fourth project he has done for us over the span of about 7 years… and he has never disappointed us. He is a pleasure to work with, has an excellent aesthetic taste (good suggestions), is upfront and reasonable about costs, and always made sure we were satisfied. Projects he has completed for us ranged from a low budget «facelift» of a condo we were trying to sell, paint/​lighting for our first home, complete re-​landscaping of our backyard, and most recently, a high end remodel of our new home, which — thanks to Oren — is now my dream home. He is very attentive to detail and very trustworthy… I recommend him with absolutely no reservations… and will use him for all of our future projects!
