GWC

We hired GWC (Gary Ward Contractor) to remodel our beachside efficiency condo in Long Beach, CA, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Gary completely transformed our compact space—gutting everything but the bathroom—and brought our vision to life with precision and craftsmanship. Working with our designer and architect, Gary opened up the main living area and installed a stunning, multifunctional Murphy bed system from Resource Furniture (Italy). It doubles as a desk and TV station by day and converts to a bed at night. To offset the loss of closet space, he built a gorgeous custom wardrobe with drawers, plus a built-in refrigerator that blends seamlessly into the cabinetry. He also handcrafted all the kitchen cabinets, installed quartzite countertops, a designer backsplash, new sink and faucet, and repainted the entire unit with great attention to detail. Gary’s work was impeccable—every line aligned, every feature functional. He navigated the complexities of working in a historic 1927 building with experience and care. We always felt he was committed to getting it right. We’d gladly hire GWC again and recommend him without hesitation. Thank you, Gary, for creating a space that’s both beautiful and highly functional.

Gary and his crew were fantastic. I was doing a historic restoration of a landmark building AND working with custom materials in a challenging building of non-standard construction. Gary and his team meet every challenge and exceeded my high expectations. The work was done flawlessly and he was incredibly helpful in getting the job done. Honest, hard working, and reasonable in his pricing. I couldn't have asked for a better situation.
