Wow, where do I begin.. so we met Gary back in the spring of 2013 when he renovated our house in Brooklyn. He came highly recommended by my uncle Frank (a very hard man to please), so I knew he was the right guy to hire. After doing an amazing job on that project (a major renovation with a crumbling house built in 1911) and numerous small projects, we hired his company to build us a house from scratch. Being that Gary is also a licensed real estate broker, the whole process was made easy from finding a piece of land to selling our existing house, to setting us up with a great architect (thank you Peter Calvanico) and so on. From the day we broke ground to completion (except landscaping), he had us in our new house in just under 10 weeks! I can't tell you how happy we are with the finished product, thanks to all the great design ideas Gary gave me (thank goodness because I can never make a decision.. lol). It still hasn't sunk in that this is my home.. i'm in love! Thank you Gary, Louis, Anthony, and the rest of the crew for all of your hard work! P.S. you were right about adding all of the extra trim work.. it really makes the house pop!
