Ohagi did an amazing job! He’s a very nice guy and he was professional, punctual and delivered a great service. He suggested the color and type of paint I chose and it came out perfect! His prices were reasonable and unlike many contractors, he cares about the final product and how it looks. I will definitely be hiring him again to do more work at my home!

Ohagi was professional, he was on time and did an amazing job on the drywall and paint repair. I will definitely use him again and refer him!
They did a great job for us - painted our entire garage and repaired some water damage in several cabinets and then primed & painted. Ohagi was punctual, his rates were very reasonable, and the quality of the work was excellent - would recommend Gates Contracting without hesitation.

I had a fantastic experience working with Ohagi and will absolutely be using his services again. He was incredibly meticulous, especially with taping, which resulted in a flawless paint job. He painted my entire first floor — including shutters, closets, ceilings, and more — as we were preparing to move into our new home.
His workmanship was excellent, and he went above and beyond by also repairing several baseboards so seamlessly that you’d never know there had been any damage. He was professional, communicative, and very respectful of our time, working long hours to ensure everything was completed before our move-in date.
His cleanup was exceptional — I didn’t even need to hire a cleaning service afterward. Communication was great as well; he kept everything transparent through a group chat with my husband and me.
Thank you, Ohagi — I’ll be calling you soon to paint my old place!
