O'Neil Builders

We hired O’Neil Builders for a full gut remodel of an investment home, and I genuinely can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Rob and his team. In an industry where trust can sometimes be hard to find, I trusted Rob from the beginning. He is extremely logical, straightforward, approachable and responsive. When issues came up, he was always willing to talk them through and work toward a practical solution. What impressed me just as much is that Rob’s character and approach filter down through his entire team. They were professional, responsive and simply great to work with. We are extremely happy with the end result, but just as importantly, I genuinely enjoyed working with Rob and getting to know him throughout the process. I would absolutely work with O’Neil Builders again and highly recommend them.

We hired O’Neil Builders to do a full renovation of our two bedroom Gulf front condominium on Sanibel Island. Throughout the process, Rob and his crew were on top of everything, accessible, and flexible every step of the way. The finished product was top-notch and we were extremely pleased with our redesigned contemporary condominium. I would highly recommend O’Neil Builders for any remodeling project however big or small.

We won the lottery on hiring the absolute best contractor and team for our whole house remodel! Rob O’Neil hands down is the person you want to hire when planning a remodeling project. Our home was a complete gut job and build out. The creative team at O’Neil came up with a brilliant idea to add a full second floor to maximize square footage and when I say game changer, I mean absolute game changer! We were up north for most of the project, but communication between Rob, Adam, our project manager, and Jen, the designer, was amazing. From weekly calls with Adam, the buildertrend program that tracks spending and all the constant texts and emails back and forth, we were never at a loss for what was happening in our home. Responsive is an understatement regarding how quickly everyone responded to my questions or ideas. This project was actually fun from the selection process to the small details at the end. You really begin to feel like you are part of the O’Neil Industries’ family in the best way possible. Rob’s super calm demeanor and his thoroughness and attention to detail are off the charts! Our home went from being a 1990’s dated house to a home that is welcoming and one I’ve been told that belongs in a magazine! Do not hesitate at all if you are looking for the BEST contractor in SWFL! His name is Rob O’Neil and be sure to call him for your next project. Being from a construction background, my husband can be hard to please, but he agrees that Rob and the team did an awesome job and we are forever grateful for the best remodeling experience to date! Our home is perfect in every way!!!! We love it!

The O'Neil Industries team did an amazing job with our renovation. From the outset they were proactive, knowing that we had a firm deadline in order to have the house ready for our daughter's wedding. We had a 6-month window to relocate a kitchen, gut the master bath install new floors throughout the house and rebuild our fireplace and millwork surrounds. The design staff was excited about our vision and guided us through the process, so that materials were ready for install as needed. Thier responsiveness to either questions and/or concerns was met with a positive attitude and a willingness to get it right for us. I was so happy when Jen said she knew someone who could do a traditional Tabby wall finish. I think she may have been more excited to see it done than I was. The Tabby wall installers graciously allowed us to watch and video the installation, which was fascinating. They were truly artisans of their craft. Having had a bad experience with a prior contractor, The O'Neil team was a breath of fresh air to say the least, they communicated in an honest and straightforward manner that you do not often get these days. Even when things did not go as planned, the team was on top of it and got it corrected. While not totally complete, Rob and his team got us back in the house about three weeks before the wedding and finished afterwards. We cannot be happier with the quality and final outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend O'Neil Industries to anyone looking for a communicative, high quality and proactive company and group of individuals.

I worked with Rob O’Neil and his team after Hurricane Ian to rebuild my condo on Sanibel Island. I was very happy with the process and the high quality result. Rob operates with integrity and transparency and he and his team took responsibility for the entire process, including interactions with the condo association board and staff, the city’s building department, and even the association’s restoration company. Whenever I had a question or needed something, Rob’s team was very responsive (as was Rob himself), and I never felt out of the loop. Rob delivered what he promised and was great to work with.

Hurrican Ian destroyed our beloved Sanibel "typical old style Florida" home. The foundation and walls survived; however, the entire interior of the house was a complete devastation. Our family (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations) decided to rebuild the house as everyone has such fondness for that "slice of Paradise" that we have enjoyed for almost 30 years. But the task was daunting - literally, a total rebuild from the inside out. We were introduced to Rob and this was a divine appointment. After praying over Rob's proposal, we believed that Rob and his team was the group that we should trust to carry out this intensely personal rehabilitation of the beloved home. From the top down, Rob down to the subcontractors that they use, we have been incredibly impressed by their professionalism, integrity, attention to details, commitment to doing what's right, and their recommendations along the way. We felt confident to give them latitude to do their jobs which helped us immensely to avoid making every decision by a committee of eight or more. We are near the home stretch of the rebuild and we could not be more satisfied. We will always be eternally grateful for Rob and his entire staff (particularly Jen and Eric, but we hesitate to call out people because we acknowledge that it takes a great team of support staff to enable Rob, Eric, and Jen to do their jobs). We heartily recommend Rob and his team. We are based in Tennessee so carrying out this rebuild from afar was untenable for us. Thankfully, for us, the Lord brought us to Rob and the fantastic O'Neil Industries folks. It is an honor to be able to submit this review.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better team to work with on rebuilding our home! Everyone is professional, caring and they made us feel like we were their most important customer at all times.

Rob and his team were amazing to work with! Always professional, responsive and open to our thoughts and ideas. Our renovation was in process when Hurricane Ian came through, Rob and Adam were on site as soon as it was safe to do so to give us a full report with photos, they were able to handle it all and give us peace of mind while we were up North. We couldn't be happier with the end result, the O'Neil team delivered on every front. We love our newly renovated home!

Rob and O'Neil Industries have been a true pleasure to work with. From the first conversation to see if we were a good fit for our high end renovation, to the finished product, Rob has been extremely professional and reliable. We are part time in Florida out of Pennsylvania and were very concerned about doing a renovation of this caliber from 1000 miles away. Well, it was actually a breeze. Rob provided great communication (especially via the buildertrend app), was alway available with any questions/concerns, and delivered on his promise of a spectacular finished product. I would say our project was a little "outside the box". We did not always use typical products. From custom wood ceilings to spectacular custom metal interior and exterior doors, Rob helped coordinate a very smooth transition from conception to the finished product. We are thrilled with the final results of our "Total Renovation" (gutted to the shell of the house). Rob helped create the home of our dreams, and the experience was a pleasure. I would without hesitation recommend Rob O'Neil and O'Neil Industries to take care of your high end renovation.

We just completed a major Florida beach condo remodel project with O’Neil Industries, and couldn’t be happier with the final result. We highly recommend O’Neil Industries and Rob O’Neil, its President. Not only is Rob great to work with, but he a man of character, who runs his business with integrity rarely found in today’s business climate. Because we are in the design industry up north and have quite a bit of experience in remodeling and building, we sought a knowledgeable and experienced contractor who understood our emphasis on quality workmanship. Rob impressed us with his unfailing commitment to quality and his excellent team of designers, subcontractors, and office staff. Rob uses technology to track every single aspect of every job – and NOTHING was missed. Mariah Koch, his interior designer, was one of the very best we have ever worked with. Mariah assisted us on our selections, accurately tracked everything, and ensured that everything was perfectly installed. The fact that this project was done remotely, with few site visits by us, underscores the benefit of Rob’s regular communication and frequent photographs. There were no surprises. In spite of the pandemic, he successfully completed the project on time. As an example of Rob going the extra mile, after the remodel was complete, and we were moving in, we called Rob on a Saturday night when our furniture was being delivered and the sofa wouldn’t fit in the elevator or around the stairs. Rob called one of his crane contractors to come the next day to lift the sofa through the lanai. Clearly above and beyond the call of duty. Bottom line is if you want the best, choose O’Neil Industries.

We hired O’Neil Industries to do a whole home renovation after our frustration with numerous other contractors. Rob O’Neil put together a comprehensive proposal for us in record time. Rob has a team of individuals who master what they do and genuinely care about the customer. Our project took place doing the pandemic when the supply chain issues were rampant. There were delays that were unforeseen and Rob handled these challenges with determination and professionalism. He worked around us needing to move in our home while some aspects were still under construction. Our project brought new design elements that Rob had not worked with before but was eager for the challenge. Our home transformation exceeded our expectations and we are amazed with the outcome! Rob O’Neil is the real deal and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

In the late summer of 2021, we had the great fortune of contacting and subsequently going under contract for a full remodel of our Cape Coral condo with O’Neil Industries. After three attempts with “local” contractors headquartered in Cape Coral we called owner, Rob O’Neil. He not only answered the phone, but he did so on vacation. That immediately impressed us after dealing with three previous false starts. Upon his return from vacation, we solidified the contract terms and began an amazing contractor team-client relationship that continues and will continue beyond this build. We will likely never build or renovate again, but if we did, I would call O’Neil Industries immediately. The entire O’Neil team is amazing and works together seamlessly. However, each deserve recognition for traits and talents they bring to the client relationship. Rob, Owner- Incredibly detailed, organized, innovative, a phenomenal communicator, and most importantly honest. Rob never went for the cheapest solution to a problem. He is a true anomaly in the contracting industry and a pleasure to work with. Mariah, Showroom Manager-Passionate about the aesthetics but has an incredible amount of contractor/construction knowledge. She cares about the client and their decorative choices. She has an incredible ability to read her clients. She goes the extra mile for clients to include researching material choices and making suggestions. Her incredible suggestions and persuasive positioning of them is the reason our condo is so perfect and beautiful. Karla, CAD designer-Simply awesome is how to describe her. She met with us once and then came out to measure to create a perfect plan. This move was a tremendous downsize for us so storage and an open flow for our new home was a must. Karla designed perfect solutions in each room. We have extra storage in all areas and our condo flows seamlessly. Adam, Project Manager-Without a doubt the person that makes the dream a reality. Adam is detailed, innovative, and persistent when dealing with subcontractors. Adam operates with one thought, “your problem/issue is my problem/Issue.” Nate, drywall and paint- Those two words do not fully represent his ability, caring and willingness to do any task correctly. Nate is more a master artist than drywall finisher and painter. Clyde, Master Carpenter-The newest member of the team and one of the best carpenters I’ve met. He is patient and will take the extra steps and time to ensure perfect cuts on very visible items such as crown and base. He is a master craftsman, rather than carpenter. You would be fortunate to have any one of these people working on your project. As a team, they are amazing and a step above any contractor team we have worked with in several builds and remodels. Through the vision, client first focus, attention to detail, unsurpassed willingness to not cut corners and a general pleasant nature of everyone at O’Neil Industries, we are now living our dream.
