I would hire Gary again in a heartbeat. Such a professional - honest, kind, and fast. He wasn't the cheapest, but he was very upfront and worked within the limits of my budget. Even showed up to finish some small details later after missing supplies were delivered. I don't think most folks would have gone that extra mile. Really appreciated.

Gary has completed many projects for me, from a remodel of my kitchen, to custom built-ins, powder room remodel. His attention to detail, his ability to create beautifully made custom work is excellent. He is also very honest with what needs to be done, I appreciated his transparency throughout all of our projects. I will continue to work with Gary for all my projects!

Doors (Exterior) - Install or Replace
Yes, I recommend this pro
Excellent communication- Gary de-activated a disused cellar door that was rotted away. He suggested an alternate route to completing the job that made it a better result overall. The end result is a flat concrete wall on the inside, and a sloping concrete slab on the outside- which is rain and element -proof. He removed all the old debris and rotten material, cleaning up completely. Highly recommended ‼️

Gary Paige is exceptional to work with. Professional, personable and the highest quality of work. I put bookshelves in my dining room and they are perfect. Next up is the kitchen and bathrooms. Gary does it all and I highly recommend him.

nice guy. shows up on time and does the work as outlined. takes the time to make sure that the job was done right. I hired him to replace some rotted siding on our garage. some of it was under the stairs to the garage loft, so difficult to remove/install. did a really nice job. made suggestions I had not thought of to make it better.

Doors (Interior) - Install or Replace
Yes, I recommend this pro
Gary did a great job fixing the sliding doors into the track using an innovative solution, and saved me time of money in replacing the doors entirely. However, I don't think the work he did in about one hour qualifies for a hefty fee of $350.00!

excellent experience - contacted via Home Adviser at 9 am in the morning. GWP called 60 mins later and set an appointment for late in the afternoon. I need assistance on 3-4 small projects. Gary was prompt, did top notch work and at a reasonable price. Will definitely use in the future. Very personable and went the extra mile.

Carpentry Framing - Install
Yes, I recommend this pro

Gary is professional, courtesy, up-front and honest. The project on paper was simple enough. It was suppose to involve altering the point of entry to some windows in our space, but when we went to remove more of the existing drywall, it quickly turned out to be a complete mess. Gary did an excellent job in adapting to rectify the situation, which involved jack-hammering granite, precise framing, drywall and paint. He stuck to the projected timetable of completion, arrived on-time daily, and while the ultimate pricing did fluctuate from the beginning of the project Gary was very clear from the beginning that pricing could increase if an intensive amount of jack-hammering was involved (which there was). Pricing was fair. Overall we would 10 for 10 involve Gary again for any serious carpentry or GC work we need completed in our space.

"Multiple projects involving deck, siding, outside trim, soffits, chimney, light fixture, and carpentry. The pricing was very reasonable, there wasn't any waste (as some materials were able to be re-purposed) and they did an excellent job. They showed up on time, were very efficient, did great work, and thoroughly cleaned up upon completion. Gary is very accommodating and responsive. I recommend him highly!!!!!
