Name: Dan Rivas dba Blue Ocean Construction
Prime Objective: To get your job done fast, on time and very affordable.
I like to stay busy, call me, I’m ready to get your project done!
Credentials:
I'm highly trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of interior construction (ask me anything!) My interest and desire for clean, beautiful construction work is unparallelled. I appreciate seeing beautiful work almost as much as I enjoy constructing it myself.
I am an Owner/Operator with a team of extremly talented subcontractors on standby if needed.
Experience: I started my remodel and new construction career 30 years ago as a custom tile (kitchen and bath) installer for a handful of design companies.
Since then I've been trained by master plumbers, electricians, HVAC, drywall and paint specialists. I've held 3 General Contractor Licenses.
No project is too big or too small. I do excell at full remodels for rental units, prep for sales, AirBNB transformations and your creative ideas for your primary residence.
I stand by my goal to provide the highest quality work for the best price. Once I'm hired, I'd be honored to be your go-to man moving forward.
Thumbtack is wonderful by introducing us and then stepping out to allow our professional relationship to grow on its own moving forward.
I'm obsessed with having the best tools in the game! (Yes, I'm one of those guys, I love my toys)
I also work with many of my customers on their projects, in a way that sometimes they like to do some of the painting, prep or shopping to save money.
My interests outside construction revolve mostly around astronomy, religious studies and freestyle sports.
I'm really looking forward to meeting you and helping you to achieve your construction dreams.
Thank you so much for reading my profile (if you made it this far!)
Hopefully hear from you soon.
- Dan

Communication was great considering I wasn't able to be on site the day of the installation. Installed all appliances for our remodeling, kept me up to date with pictures and updates about one of the damaged appliances (it came that way, not their fault). Made the experience easy for me and would use them again!

Thank you for the review! Your planning and project coordination of your full house remodel was exceptional and impressive. It was a pleasure to work for you

I've had Dan come to my house twice now for various things - fixing a leaky pipe, hanging shelves, curtain rods, light fixtures, decorative wall trim, and a barn door. This is all considered "normal" handyman stuff, but a lot of it was actually cleaning up after my own mistakes from trying to DIY it. He's been really supportive of my "do it myself" attitude and has gone out of his way to kindly teach me how to do things properly for next time. Anytime there's been an issue or problem with what he's doing, he has always worked hard to find a solution. He's extremely responsive and communicative, neat and tidy when he's in my home, trustworthy, incredibly knowledgeable, detail oriented, and his work is top notch. I'm a little outside of his geographical work zone but he's happily come out anyway, always with a very positive and fun attitude. I can't imagine working with another handyman going forward.
