Obie has spent more than thirty years working with his hands — from inspecting buildings in New York and managing residential properties in Queens, to maintaining a Puerto Rico resort and supporting a medical device manufacturing plant in Johnson City. That range is rare. It means he's seen almost every kind of repair, and he's learned how to fix things so they stay fixed.
He started SotoBilt to bring that industrial‑grade craftsmanship to homes and small businesses across the Tri‑Cities. Whether it's a stubborn door that won't close, a renovation that needs real carpentry, or a custom piece that doesn't exist off the shelf — Obie shows up on time, figures it out, and leaves the place cleaner than he found it.
And because he speaks fluent English and Spanish, he's just as comfortable talking through a project with a first‑time homeowner as he is coordinating on a commercial job site.
Most jobs can be scoped over a short call, a few photos, or a quick in‑person walkthrough. Estimates are free — and we'll let you know up front if it's something we're the right fit for.
