OUR TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say

"Quality communication, trust, attention to detail, knowledge, and experience — that's exactly what you'll get working with David. Over the years, we've built four homes, and working with David was by far the best experience we've had. After 22 years of moving around with the military, we were finally ready to create our forever home—no pressure, right? David took our 20-year-old house and transformed it into a true showpiece."

"From start to finish working with Encinas Construction has been the most pleasant experience I have had. David and his crew and all the subcontractors were totally professional and super to work with. Any questions or problems that arose were always taken care of immediately. I have many friends that have had very negative experiences with island contractors, that I was very worried when we chose to do this project. David's company are top notch."

"We couldn't be happier with the work done by David and his crew on our shop with living quarters attached. From start to finish, their communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way. They stayed on budget and even managed to complete the project ahead of schedule, which was a huge bonus. The quality of work is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I highly recommend David and Encinas Construction for any construction project-professional, reliable, and efficient!"

"David and, at the time we purchased, John were absolutely awesome to work with! Highly professional and knowledgeable, David walked us through every step of the way - helping us pick the right colors, tiles, flooring, appliances, etc. for our new home which was completed well within the estimated timeframe. Also, many people we talked with in the Oak Harbor area who knew of Encinas Construction spoke very highly of them which added to our confidence in selecting them as our builder. Well deserving of 5 stars, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Encinas Construction as your home builder!"

"We began plans to build a home with Encinas construction right before Covid happened. When it hit they adapted to all of the roadblocks that we encountered, which were many! They were always available to us and allowed us to make changes to plans along the way. We are so lucky to count them as friends and to this day I still message David if I need something. We would highly recommend the company! We love our home!"
