Lake Tahoe & Bay Area  ·  Renovation Advisory & Management

Your remodel shouldn't be your second full-time job.

You bought the place. Now comes the hard part. I manage your entire remodel in Tahoe or the Bay Area: the contractors, the budget, the two hundred decisions, so you can keep living your life.

30 minutes. No pressure, no obligation.

01

Independent

Flat-fee advisory with zero commissions. I answer to you and your budget, never to a contractor's markup.

02

Engineering rigor

An MIT-trained civil engineer with 17 years in data. Budgets and timelines tracked with the discipline they deserve.

03

Taste-forward

A sharp eye for natural materials and finishes. Luxury-level results, personal to you, at a fraction of the expected cost.

Sound familiar?

Remodeling is chaos. Overpaying for someone else's taste is worse.

You could spend months managing a remodel yourself, or pay twice the price for a "move-in ready" home someone else designed, with no say in the finishes and no idea what's behind the walls. There's a better way.

Where do I even start?

Architect? Engineer? Contractor? Designer? Most people lose months just figuring out who to call first.

Contractor roulette

Bids, references, follow-ups, no-shows. Vetting and managing trades is a full-time job, especially when the property is hours away.

Budget blowouts

Change orders pile up and costs creep. Without someone tracking the numbers with rigor, you notice too late.

Decision overload

Tile, stone, fixtures, hardware, paint. Hundreds of choices and no one to help you hold the bigger vision.

Your renovation advisor

I've done this for my own family. Now I do it for yours.

I'm Meisy Ortega: engineer, data specialist, and renovation strategist. I've remodeled my own home in Fremont and multiple vacation properties in Tahoe, all while working full-time in tech and raising two kids. I know exactly how overwhelming it gets, so I built OMG Homes & Co. so you don't have to figure it out alone.

An MIT-trained civil engineer who spent 17 years in data and AI at companies like Meta and Uber, I bring engineering discipline to a process that's usually all chaos. Add a sharp eye for design and a knack for negotiation, and you get luxury-level results for far less than you'd expect.
