Client Reviews

Gil helped us out with our house renovation! I found his contact through an internal recommendations at work. It was built in the 1960s, and was touched up during the resale, but we wanted to update the flooring, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and the electrical wiring. I think what really set apart Gil from the others we talked to is the time he put into creating an itemized estimate. He was super patient in going through all the many questions I had since it was my first time doing a renovation like this, and broke things down really clearly. The project did take longer than expected with some surprises, but life is always full of surprises, and we appreciate how Gil handled bumps in the road. Overall, him and his team pay attention to the quality and details to get you in a home that you will enjoy living in! Communication was always really smooth, and had a positive experience working with him.Read More

We worked with Gil and had a great experience. They did the structural work for our project, and everything went very smooth. The work followed the plans, and all inspections passed with no issues. They helped with the foundation, framing, and our bathroom addition. Everything came out just like we agreed. The team was easy to talk to and kept us updated the whole time. We always knew what was going on. We had no problems at all, and we are very happy with the results. We 100% recommend them for structural work, additions, or remodeling. ThanksRead More

Working with Gil and his team on our kitchen remodel was a great experience. Gil was extremely communicative throughout the process and made things much easier by shortlisting high-quality options, which saved us from a lot of decision fatigue. We also really appreciated their patience and flexibility when we ran into delays with our HOA approval. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a team that is both efficient and easy to work with!Read More

Excellent service and issue resolution. Detail oriented and no surprise costs. The finished work was flawless and would use again!Read More

We hired Gil for a complete kitchen remodel. We are thrilled with the results. Gil was involved in the whole remodel process, coming along side his workers, and constantly communicating with us. Before the work began, he sent us a spreadsheet of when certain people would come to the house and what they would do. He is very organized. The project ended only one week after his expected end date, which is amazing. The workers were all kind, great at what they did, and they cleaned up before leaving. Would we recommend Gil? YES!Read More
