“So happy to have met with Stefany, she was beyond helpful. I went in with one project/idea in mind and she helped me envision other options. We have started our project and look forward to continue to working together to finish this project and start another. Highly recommend this service!”

When you work with House by Ortega, you're not just hiring a renovation consultant — you're getting a reliable partner who treats your home like their own.
This isn’t surface-level design. It’s real-life renovation planning rooted in creativity, family, and technical know-how.
“I recently worked with House by Ortega on an ADU conversion, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. House by Ortega was invaluable to me, especially given my lack of knowledge in construction in general and limited time and patience. Not only did I feel very connected to the project without having to invest a lot of my own time, but their expertise gave me peace of mind throughout the process.
From the outset, they demonstrated genuine passion for their work and offered valuable advice. A great example was the initial layout of the unit; although I had hired an architect for this phase, House by Ortega provided insightful recommendations and adjustments even before I fully engaged them, which immediately made me comfortable with their expertise.
I trusted them completely with the color choices, bathroom design, living space, and all the finishing touches. They balanced tasteful design with affordability, which was important since this ADU will be a rental. Overall, House by Ortega made a complex and important project feel manageable and enjoyable, and I highly recommend their services.”
