Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My complete satisfaction of my customers in the work that I do. I believe in old school work, integrity, fair pricing, I will not try to sell a customer a service they do not need. I'm not just the owner, I'm the one completing your job. No middle man, no salesman, just a contractor who's been in the trades for over 30 yrs. I am also fully background checked by Thumbtack, you can verify this under "credentials". I believe in old school values. Such as answering when a customer calls, a job is not complete until the customer is happy. Face to face communication is extremely important.

September 8, 2016 When we decided to remodel our kitchen, we knew it would be a huge undertaking. Between floors that were not level & walls that needed some serious attention, this was not going to be an easy job. Add in the fact that I had never attempted anything of this magnitude before & you’ve got a very nervous homeowner! However, after initially speaking with Gary, going over different ideas, floor plans & estimates, we felt very comfortable with having him do the work. He is very open to suggestions & will also offer his own creative ideas to consider. I was (and am!) extremely impressed with his professionalism & willingness to work with us to keep costs low but quality high. Any time I had questions or concerns, he addressed them very quickly & efficiently. We are extremely pleased with the end result of his work, time & effort. Friends who had seen the kitchen before & after the remodel have been very impressed with the quality & workmanship. We definitely recommend anyone who wants to have work done on their home to consider speaking with Gary. Pete & Jill

I had my home painted(primed and finish coat) by Gary 6 years ago. I sold the home about 4 months later. Recently, I moved back to the area and was amazed at after the winters how the paint job is like it looked when he first completed it. I had contacted Gary about painting my exterior and interior of my new home, which he will be dong once his schedule opens. He really knows what he is doing, does not oversell, walked me through the work prior and explained his entire process to me. He's was responsive to my almost nightly phone calls(I was, am, a little over the top) and would take the time away from his family at night to talk to me. His pricing was very responsible and I can say it was most defiantly a value when I look at my old home 6 years later. He was personable, and professional at all times, leaving the job clean at the end of each day. As I said, Gary will be painting both exterior and interior of my new home. I highly recommend.

Gary needs to not take on too many jobs, needs to manage projects better. Stop making excuses why job is taking so long when client asks when will it be done after 1st month, then the second month. Don' t blame client as "not available". Learn to listen to client when approached on issues with work they are unhappy about. Don't have an outburst, especially in front of others, and pack up your stuff and start calling loudly to your assistant who is inside the house that "you're done and leaving". And, whille packing up saying to your client loudly for all to hear "you're doing this only, so you won't have to pay", and then state will take client to small claims court . Unsure if he was aware that over 90% of work was paid for all ready, and was more than what was required since job was not, and still not completed! Had asked him to leave the property, as did my daughter. While waiting for his assistant to gather remaining equipment, he went to his truck started beeping his horn impatiently-at which point my daughter let Gary know his assistant was coming out . I have had to make my attorney aware of this, and am now in the process of having to find someone I can trust and believe in come to fix holes in my two bathroom ceilings and fix and finish work on porch and stairs . I have never encountered this type of situation over the many years owing a home and hiring people to do work. Most people who are hired and paid, work with the client, listen to the client, do the job in a timely manner, complete the work properly, provide receipts for materials purchased (not just an invoice of the total job cost). It is a very unfortunate outcome. Gary, you had mentioned that you've saved me money - well, I guess not. Shame on me.
