Basement Remodeling
Cecy Gillen Designs did a deck renovation for us and not only did they do a great job, but when they were finished, are yard and area where they did the work was spotless. No nails, no screws no debris, etc.

Cecy was wonderful to work with. She came with ideas, confidence and professionalism and was so communicative along the way with our basement reno. Her team was respectful and showed up when they said they would. We were so happy with the outcome! Cecy was also knowledgeable and helpful in talking through options when we had questions along the way. I highly recommend her and her team and will absolutely work with them again in the future.

If you are looking to remodel your home, and are seeking an excellent contractor, look no further. My husband and I were looking to remodel two outdated bathrooms in our home. We felt totally overwhelmed with all the decisions we had to make—picking tile for walls and floors, fixtures, tubs, toilets, etc. Hiring Cecy Gillen Designs to remodel our two bathrooms was the best decision we made! Cecy is an amazing designer! When my husband and I had trouble finding tile we liked, she offered to come shopping with us. She spent hours with us at tile and bathroom stores, helping us choose coordinating tiles for our shower walls, floor, and niche. She understood exactly the style and mood we were going for and helped us execute our vision. Cecy’s crew were always polite and professional. They did a beautiful job and were clearly very skilled. Our bathrooms turned out AMAZING and we couldn’t be more pleased. I recommend Cecy Gillen Designs for any remodeling project you may have.

I have been coming to Cecy and her amazing team for more than three years. The day she arrived to scope my first project, I knew I'd be working with her for years on building my dream home. They are skilled, reliable, thoughtful and kind. The perfect combination!

Cecy and her crew are amazing! Recently I had 2 emergencies which Cecy talked me through and then her team came and made all the necessary repairs within a day. Cecy is an excellent contractor, very responsive and knowledgeable. I'm so happy to have her as my go-to person for crises as well as when I want to do a fun project! :)

Cecy and her crew did a fantastic job on our double bathroom renovation. They handled everything from beginning to end starting with the design and planning to the demo and construction with an incredible eye for detail throughout. Cecy is extremely responsive, and her team worked efficiently to finish the project on time. Our new bathrooms have transformed our living experience in our home. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Cecy and her team are amazing. Cecy herself has a great eye for design, is extremely professional, super responsive and most importantly treats your project as if it were her own. Her team is extremely hard working and has great attention detail; they went above and beyond at every step of the process. I cannot recommend Cecy highly enough.

I highly recommend Cecy and her team. From start to finish they were professional, honest, punctual, and had great attention to detail. When unexpected challenges arose, Cecy proactively brainstormed for creative alternatives to present to us that still maintained our overall goals. Her exceptional organization really helped the process not feel overwhelming. She closely monitored the costs of the project and always sent detailed invoices and progress updates. We highly recommend Cecy Gillen Designs and will be doing another project with her soon.

We used Cecy and her team in 2023 for a bathroom and kitchen remodel. Couldn't be happier with the results. Her flooring team is quite talented. They had a very difficult ask with regards to the wide plank pine in our kitchen. The end result is exactly what we had hoped for. Also, her team is very professional and trustworthy.

Cecy and team were professional and skilled. The team renovated a primary bathroom, moving a wall as well as installing a new shower, tub, flooring, and lights. There were some delays in the project but Cecy took ownership of the issues that arose and was a professional in addressing them to our satisfaction. We will definitely be using them again in the future for other projects.

Cecy and her team are fantastic! Extremely professional, and very attentive to detail. She ensures her clients get exactly what they want, and the pricing is very reasonable. Her team designed and built an additional lower-level bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. They also painted several rooms, fixed some work that was done by a previous contractor, and added a support beam to our deck. The quality of work is extremely high. I can't recommend her and her team highly enough!

What can I say about Cecy and her teamâ ¦Awesome! They were professional, prepared for whatever we found while remodeling two bathrooms, a home office and two closet redesigns. She didnâ  t start the projects until all material was here which I totally appreciated. She has a keen eye for design and is a real problem solver with odd space. I canâ  t thank her and her crew enough for making the projects run smoothly and on time! They were just terrific! Love our new bathrooms, closets and office!

Cecy was able to hire great people to fix/change tile, lighting, tub glazing in bathroom. She also created beautiful designs for an outside porch, sunroom or patio. We have not done this project yet, but will reconnect with her if we decide to proceed because of her great ideas.
