It was the weirdest and worst experience we have ever had with a contractor. Finished 50% of the job and never showed up again. Avoid, hire someone else.

I don't know about pricing but it seemed comparable to others we had looked into. Their response time was excellent. Mr. Gorman is a pleasure, and very personable - and funny - something we appreciate. And Christian was exemplary - I would give him more than 5 stars if possible. He went above and beyond to not only replace the flooring, but to shore up the failing infrastructure as well, and finished with impeccably cut and placed linoleum. I would highly recommend this company, and will not hesitate to use them again.

I have been extremely happy working with Lucky Gorman and his team over the past couple months. As a recent first time home buyer, I appreciate that Lucky has been incredibly consultative, transparent and reliable when I have requested numerous quotes and contracted multiple projects. His estimates are always prompt and clear and the eventual work is very high quality. He also has exceptional personal communication skills and has been helpful in providing additional neighborhood references and recommendations. Your home will be in good hands with Lucky Gorman and his team!

Seemed a little costly, but I am frugal, so anything over a quarter is a lot. Did a quick, knowledgeable repair.

Lucky and Gus were a pleaure to work with. Positive, kind and efficient. They were willing to take on a small siding repair job that no other companies wanted to tackle. They did a great job with the repair. I would reach out to Lucky again for jobs both big and small. I highly recommend this company.

Lucky & his team did a great job, not only removing the rotted wood, but also had to deal with & remove a huge wasp nest that was behind the wood. His team was able to kill the wasps & remove & destroy the nest. They then repaired the wood & rebuilt the gate. He communicated regularly with me. I will hire Lucky & his team for other projects.

Great company! Picked up on first call, and got an actual person! He spent a good amount of time explaining to me what my options were and we chose what would be the best for the situation. The estimates were reasonable and the work was done the next day, very efficiently. There wasn't any back and forth. Sent me pictures as the project progressed and I was very pleased with the final result. Expect a straight forward, no bull or fluff, when speaking to him. I don't write many reviews, but when I find someone exceptional, it's worth sharing. Owning an apartment complex can be troublesome at times, and having the right people to help when there is a need is crucial to succeeding and standing out amongst the competition. Thanks again for all the hard work!

Lucky installed a pocket door for me in a lofted space to my master bedroom where there was previously just a hole in the wall. Quick to respond to the posting, we set up a review of the project shortly thereafter. A sub of his (Christian) performed the work once hired and the quality of workmanship is very very good. Each project is not without its share of issues so be ready to be asked many questions related to how you want something handled (where do you want a line to match up, reference point of leveling, repairing previous construction work to make your installation on par, etc.) As I work in the construction industry my advice to others when working with anyone: 1-Set up or have a defined scope, and budget for any unknowns (what might be in the wall, are walls and floors square/level; Lucky is happy to help you with this!) 2-Have a material list, figure out lead times, and then agree to a start date (you canâ t perform work next week if material lead time is 2 months) Again, Lucky and his team are knowledgeable on this so use them to your advantage. 3-Patience is rewarded as quality does not happen overnight. I was able to put a lot of trust into Christian as he talked me through a lot of what and why he was having to do something. Highly consider bringing Lucky and his team back to do another project for me now having dealt with them.

Someone backed into our building. Lucky responded quickly to the emergency board up. Took a little while to get the permitting necessary to get the repair done but when the job was started, it was completed promptly. They were responsive to our needs and adapted when they found unexpected twists. We plan to use him again for a rear desk replacement.

I hired Lucky to build a diving wall with a pocket door in my loft apartment. Lucky initiated the conversation in no time and followed the project on a daily basis but the main person who worked on my project was Adam. Both Lucky and Adam were friendly and prioritize the value of their work. There was a complication with my wall being crooked that we didn't anticipate so it took a little more time and cost than anticipated. However, I appreciated Adam trying to problem-solve and still finished the project with good quality. I would work with them in future projects. Pros: responsive, friendly, quality work and ethics What to consider: be 110% transparent with expectations on the final result and cost upfront, get everything in writing to avoid miscommunication
