Continental General Construction Corporation

We used Continental General Construction to install new siding, gutters and redo our entry staircase. Marco and his team did an outstanding job. His team was very professional. They always made sure things were cleaned up before the end of each work day. Throughout the process Marco was always very responsive and ensured things were going according to plan. I will definitely use them again for any future home improvements!

Continental Construction exceeded our expectations in all categories. We did a complete remodel of our master and guest bathrooms. Marco presented a fair proposal that outlined the project in specific detail. He displayed a standard of expertise and professionalism that produced high quality results. Construction debris and dust were kept at a bare minimum. Every morning the crew placed drop cloths from the front door to the bathrooms upstairs. Then, a make -shift tent was erected to contain the dust inside the construction area. Each night the tents and drop cloths were removed and put back in the morning. There were several instances where Marcos and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Without charge, he brought a crew to clean the entire house.
We are very happy, and friends and family are amazed by our new spaces.

It has been an overall positive experience working with Continental on our home. Marco and his team are experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy in this trade of business. Hardworking and willing to complete tasks for your home’s needs.

I had called Marco to repair a leak in my roof and to patch the ceiling in both my bedroom and dining room. He came over we went over the work and we agreed on a price. His men were very professional and covered everything with plastic so not to make a mess. The patches and painting were so good it looked new and the roof is sealed. All done in one day. Great Job!

Marco completed my project on time, on budget, and it came out beautifully. He used quality materials, and cleaned-up everything. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat. - Jim

I found the company to be very responsive and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend them for any home project.

I highly recommend Marco and his team! They did a full master bathroom remodel for me which included full demo, replacing old plumbing, new electrical, and a lot of new tile work. They also redid the tile on my guest bathroom floor. Marco was absolutely wonderful to work with. He is very kind and understanding, honest, took the time to go over the project details and address any of my concerns, and was very very reasonable in the pricing. It was all very fair and he was very collaborative. He executed my design and vision perfectly! They were able to keep and reinstall all of my fixtures (glass shower door, custom vanity, toilets, sink) that other contractors said they would have to replace. They did absolutely excellent work and were fully committed to the project. They were here every single day - full days - and really seemed invested in the project. His guys are very nice as well, and I had no concern about them being in my home. I am so happy that we found Marco and plan to use him for many more projects to come!

The professional work ethics of the company comes from the honestly and dedication of the owner. They worked efficiently and quickly with a high quality performance at a good rate. Highly recommended!

Marco and his crew installed a dishwasher with a new breaker, as well as a new vanity and toilet for us - all in a single day. They also did several minor repairs. Everything came out perfectly, and we plan on using them again in the near future!

We were really happy with the quality of the work, so we added two additional rooms to be renovated. Marco Otovalo, the General Contractor has a real can do attitude and never forgets little details.
We highly recommend this company.

Marco is like the unicorn of contractors. The person you dream of working with, but never seem to find, and wonder if they even exist! Seriously, look no further because Marco and his team are truly the best. We consulted with him about several home projects recently and the level of knowledge, creative thinking, professionalism and care was astounding and impressive…. Especially after years of working with people who just didn’t seem to care at all. He is incredibly patient, talked me through all of my options, and really listened to my ideas. It’s so amazing to feel that a contractor really cares and has your best interests in mind. Marco is an incredible communicator and came up with creative solutions all while keeping our budget in mind. He responds very quickly and goes above and beyond for his clients. The crew is talented, professional and takes pride in their work. We had them install a door a few days ago and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’m so looking forward to working with Marco on everything we need. I would give him 100 out of 10 stars.

Cannot say enough good things about Marco and his crew. Did a full renovation on my bathroom and they were very professional. Started on time and completely cleaned up every day after finishing. The work was done timely and professionally and I couldn’t be happier. Will be using Marco for future projects. Very satisfied.

Had Continental General Construction renovate 1 full bath, a half bathroom, a few window replacements and flooring replacement in a laundry room. They were professional in all of their interactions and the work was completed to my satisfaction. Marco worked with me to allow me to purchase my own fixtures and tiles so it be somewhat custom rather than a standard Home Depot/Lowes bathroom renovation. He started when he said he would and he may have worked too fast for my project because I had to scramble to get the fixtures for the renovation so I would not hold up his crew. My only hesitancy was having to provide 50% upon signing which didn't make sense to me since I was providing most of the supplies and fixtures. The standard is 10% upon signing, then 50% when the work starts. In the end, it all worked out for me and the wife is happy with the renovation so I would have no issue using him again for future projects.

In August 2023 we hired Continental Construction to renovate our main bathroom. We love our new bathroom!
The crew from this company is excellent! They worked hard each day until it was completed.Thank you!

I cannot even praise this team and Marco enough. I am expecting my first baby and they were completely timely and actually finished a month before they were supposed to because of my situation. Marco works with you and make sure everything is done exactly how you would like it. I really have never ever worked with better contractors in my life. I would highly highly recommend him to anybody interested. Besides having complete trust in him, his work is absolutely beautiful and his workers are very nice and polite and helpful every day. Always on time and works all day non-stop. Unbelievable!!!

Marco and his crew did a fabulous job on our house! They refinished the floors, painted, gutted and remodeled our bathroom, finished our attic, and so much more. Marco is a hard worker who takes pride in everything he does, communicating with us throughout the whole project. They worked on our house every day, all day, and didn’t finish until the job was done. We wouldn’t use anyone else for future projects.

Marco and his team did an absolute FANTASTIC JOB in reconstructing my front steps and driveway. He and his team also built an amazing retaining wall in front of the house, alongside each side of the driveway, that's now the envy of the neighborhood! I would recommend Continental hands-down for any exterior work needed. More than reasonable pricing with a professional crew and project manager available to answer any questions. GREAT GREAT JOB!!!

Marco y su equipo hicieron un TRABAJO FANTÁSICO absoluto al reconstruir los escalones de mi entrada y la entrada. Él y su equipo también construyeron un increíble muro de contención frente a la casa, a cada lado del camino de entrada, ¡que ahora es la envidia del vecindario! Recomendaría sin duda alguna a Continental para cualquier trabajo exterior que se necesite. Precios más que razonables con un equipo profesional y un gerente de proyecto disponibles para responder cualquier pregunta. GRAN GRAN TRABAJO!!!

Marco and his team did a tremendous job on our flooring project. The quality and price separate Marco from many of the other contractors we have worked with. To add, he is responsive and communicative throughout the process. I would recommend this company to someone looking for a high quality and experienced contractor.

-Will I.

Everyone is extremely professional! Marco worked with us every step of the way with the reno on our teenage daughters bathroom! He provided us with quality work and an overall wonderful experience. I trust their work and highly recommend Continental!

Marco and his crew were Great fix everything and polite on time clean and work all day for 7 days

Marco and his team did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodel project. The finished product looks great and the team were responsive, professional and completed the work on time. I'd definitely use these guys again the future.

Marco and his team were friendly, professional, fast, and respectful of our house. They did quality work and were incredibly swift with responding to our needs. Highly recommended.

I had a complete remodeling of my bathroom done by Continental General Construction.
I was very pleased and satisfied with the work Marco and his crew did for me. He took the time to help us choose new tiles. He was professional and answered all questions we had. I would not hesitate to use him again if we have more work to do.

I had a great experience with a Continental Construction from start to finish. Marco and his workers were very efficient and worked hard each day to get my projects done quickly. I requested a deck repair and to install a new staircase with a landing. At the last minute I asked if my existing paver walkway can be connected to the staircase . I also asked if I can have a ceiling put under my deck w a gutter system. Marco didn’t flinch and did exactly what I asked for. He always checked in with me to make sure the quality of his services met my expectations. I found a few overseen issues and He had them fixed without hassle the following day. Marco is very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I will keep his contact information handy for future projects.

Continental is a very hardworking company that made my deck look like new! The deck was power washed and the wood was treated and I’m so happy with the results! I will use them again!

My kitchen looks amazing, thanks to Continental Construction Corporation. Taking an out dated kitchen to an updated kitchen. The cabinets look like new after they professionally painted them. Fitting so nicely with the new appliances, sink, counter top, and backsplash they installed. Marco and team take pride in what they do, being quick to respond, ensuring everything is completed correctly and clean.

Update:
We've past 4 years now and the roof is still doing great! I would definitely hire Continental again.

Continental construction has been amazing for us. They are licensed in Rockland county, they got all the permits and replaced my entire roof. They worked so fast and had so many guys come out. They showed up on time and worked fast and professionally. I can't recommend Marco and his team enough. Don't hesitate to use these guys for your gone projects. I got 3 quotes Marco was the best deal and fastest to start. Thank you

Great response time. Price was great. Friendly and professional. I literally slept while they repaired my roof. They did not have to bother me once. And he said if an issue arises to call him immediately. What more can I say. EXCELLENT. Can't wait to have this company do more in my house.

Marco and his team are talented, reliable and incredibly efficient. For anyone looking for upgrades to their home, I recommend Continental Construction. We received a complete makeover to our downstairs and are thrilled with the results!!

Macro and crews are the best. I had used many contractors over the year for the rental properties, he is so far the best in terms of quality and value. I would hire him again.

BEWARE OF CONDUCTING ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!! Below I will get into the details of our experience but the bottom line is we provided Marco an upfront payment of $4,000, which he used $1,200 for supplies that we were able to use and NEVER PERFORMED ANY OF THE WORK. We're still owed $2,800+ for work that was never performed and unfortunately it's been over 2 years since this happened. We tried to work with him and patiently awaited to receive a refund before proceeding to small claims court but to no avail. The court decided in our favor and we're now moving onto a collection agency.

We were put into touch with Marco through a family member who vouched for his work. Normally we would not have provided any upfront payment above cost of supplies but we trusted him given the personal reference. Over the course of several months of trying to schedule the work, we were left disappointed each time he never showed up or even bothered to pick up the phone to return phone calls or texts. We finally had enough and needed to have the work completed so hired another company who did a great job. We continued to communicate with Marco in hopes of receiving a refund and were told multiple times that he would do so but he just needed a week, another week, another story....eventually we were left with no choice but to go to court. We have a judgment against him and are now moving onto collections and will be contacting the Better Business Bureau shortly.

I hope anyone that is considering this company sees this review and takes it seriously before risking losing your money and time too.

Marco and crew did an excellent job replacing my driveway. They are very efficient, professional.and paid attention to every detail .
They didn’t use that cheap gravel base that doesn’t last.
I would definitely recommend Marco and crew.

.

Marco was very conscientious and very responsive he got the job done when he said he would and when there was a small issue he came back and resolved it right away I would totally recommend Marco for any job

I had a great experience with Continental. They fixed the pitch of my driveway and walkway so water would be diverted alongside the street instead of coming towards the house. Very nice and easy to deal with and felt like a good job was done!

Marco and the entire team did a great job with 2 projects for me. They do not cut corners and complete the job the right way even if it means taking longer than planned. I'd rather have it done right than quick and I appreciate the extra attention to details. I would recommend them for any type of project since he is very skilled at all general construction projects.

Marco and his crew were very professional and Marco always responded in a timely fashion whenever I had any questions. They always arrived on time and any changes I wanted they always complied. Marco would always say to me “If you are happy, then I am happy”. I was happy with the results of my new bathroom.

Marco has now done three major projects (basement, bathroom and garage) and they’ve all come out great! They are fast, efficient and fair. I would recommend them to anyone.

Marco has a geat team who are professionals and know what they are doing. They start the job when scheduled and complete on time. I had a retaining wall replaced and new steps put in the back yard, love the way it came out. I will definitely be using Continental General Construction again.

Alex and crew are experts in their field which is most important if you’re looking for professional work to be done. Secondly they are punctual and dedicated to finishing a project once they start. If you’re like me, you put your mind to having something and you don’t want to wait for months to have it. Once I signed the contract for my patio and steps to include a built in flower bed they started the work the same day and were finished within a week! I was so impressed I have contracted them to do my driveway next! I wasn’t going for lowest bid; however I had seven quotes and they were most reasonable. What sold me was the fact they post videos on their FB page of their workers in action and it shows how meticulous they are! Much better that photos that anyone could produce to show examples of their work. You will not be disappointed if you hire them!!

Marco runs a good crew. They did a nearly complete renovation on my new house; flooring, kitchen reno, bathroom reno and lots of finish work. We changed plans a few times and Marco was willing to roll with the changes with no issues. He even came back months later to touch-up some small things we noticed after living there a while, at no cost. Solid team, good quality work and affordable.

I had talked to Marco (I believe his name is this) about doing an extention on my home. I gave him blue prints to be able to give me an accurate estimate. It was over a week and a half and he still didn't get back to me with his estimate. I called him and he said that he would like to come to the home to talk about everything. he said he would be at the my house by 6. He hasn't answered any text messages or phone calls. he wasn't the only one we were getting pricing from but he obviously doesn't have his ducks in a row.
