I recently worked with Gilson on installing a shed with solid foundation and I’m very happy with the results.
From the start, he was professional, responsive, and clear about timelines and costs. The estimate was detailed and transparent, and he stayed on budget which I really appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and gave me good advice and recommendations throughout.
The quality of the work stands out!

Carlos, Gilson, and their subcontractors did an absolutely amazing job! This was an ambitious and complicated project involving demolition of structural walls to turn 2 small rooms and a porch that we never used into a large family/living room. The porch had been several inches lower than the other rooms, so all of the floors had to be leveled and a new set of exterior steps was required, which also involved removing some old trees.
I had trouble envisioning how some of the steps were going to come together, but Gilson and Carlos planned out all of the details and the result was even better than we could have imagined! Cannot recommend them enough!
Details: Change the form or function of a portion of a room or structure • Living room • Deck or porch • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • No, the project is not covered by an insurance claim • Within the next 6 months

Gilson and his team were awesome. Unqualified recommendation for his services. He renovated my basement and came up with several clever solutions to problems that arose. The finished job looks great.

Had an overall good experience with Gilson and his team at MGEX. Our kitchen renovation was a project that we’ve been trying to get done for two years. After meeting with over a dozen contractors over that span of time, when we initially met Gilson it was immediately clear he was the guy we were looking for the entire time. All we wanted was good work and a fair price. A lot of contractors take advantage of their customers. Not Gilson! He’ll tell it how it is. Kitchen renovation are naturally stressful projects and Gilson does his best to put his clients at ease during that time
Details: Full remodel of existing kitchen • Yes, plumbing will need to be relocated • Yes, electrical will need to be relocated • Already have plans - just need installation • Residential
