Get matched with top garage pros in Murphy, MO

"I have hired Al numerous times over the last decade for renovation projects large and small (mostly large). I wanted to clad the interior of my 3-car garage/gym in reclaimed wood to create a studio-like effect. As usual, Al’s meticulous finish skills surpassed my high expectations (including color-coded outlet covers). As usual, he identified a couple improper electrical issues left behind by other contractors. I would hire Al again, in fact I did, as we immediately rolled this project into a 5-bath renovation."

"Gary Kimberlin's team did a great job for us with a series of small projects which were too big for a handyman, but apparently too small for most contractors. Most of the general contractors we contacted through Angie's List never never got back to us, but Gary treated us as valued customers from the start. Gary himself contacted us to provide a bid, and his responsiveness was exceptional. He spent about an hour with us taking measurements and discussing what we wanted to accomplish. Maybe we could have found a cheaper bid out there somewhere, but we were pleased with the punctuality and quality of the work, so I don't regret a cent that we spent. We had a series of small tasks which Gary's team performed over a couple of days. They arrived and departed when they said they would. First, they installed roll insulation in the crawl space under our living room. Rather than stapling the insulation in place, they recommended a slightly more expensive hanging system which allows the insulation to be removed and then put back without damaging it. Since additional remodeling is always a possibility, we appreciated the foresight on this issue. Second, we had planned to install a skylight in the living room, but Gary suggested can lighting instead, and I'm glad he did. Any time you punch a hole in the roof, it could leak, no matter how well you seal the edges. Can lighting was less expensive and created no possibility of leaks. We weren't happy with the first set of can lights Gary's team installed. Without complaint, Gary's team uninstalled them and replaced them with lights that we could swivel to highlight our artwork on the wall. We appreciated the team's flexibility and good attitude about the change. Third, the most complex portion of the job was repairing a wall and floor that had been damaged with pet urine. Gary's team removed the damaged baseboard, cut away the damaged carpet and pad, repainted the wall, and installed a new baseboard. This left a hole in the carpet which we covered with a throw rug, which was the solution of our choice. The repairs to the wall are seamless -- you'd never know the work had been done. Gary didn't press us to replace the whole carpet, which we weren't ready to do because our beloved older pet was still with us. The solution worked -- the smell is gone, and we didn't spend more than we wanted to. We'll complete that remodel another day. Last but not least, Gary's team did a thorough job cleaning and repairing the gutters. Small sections of guttering had come loose, which they refastened to the roofline. The one part of the remodel that didn't go as I had hoped pertained to a roofing issue. We had a gap in the soffit panels under the eaves. We had been concerned that a squirrel could climb through the hole and nest under the roof. Gary's team assessed the roofline and said that the hole in the soffit didn't communicate through to the attic, as far as they could tell, so the squirrels couldn't use it as a gateway. Unfortunately, that conclusion turned out to be incorrect. Six months later, we had to pay a wildlife control company to get squirrels out of our attic. The animal control team determined that the entry point was the hole in the soffit and installed a sheet metal cover for it. While the squirrel removal and roof repair were expensive, I don't fault Gary's team for mis-diagnosing the issue. Two other contractors/handymen had previously looked at the same problem and reached the same conclusion as Gary did, so obviously it was tricky. (We had had squirrels under the roof in a previous home, so I was concerned about this issue.) We look forward to work with Gary Kimberlin Construction again on a future remodel."

"Shawn and his craftsmen were professional at all times. There workmanship was excellent. They show up on time keep us informed what was being done every day . I can’t say enough about how awesome it was working with vicarage remodeling."

"Bruce, Dave et al are amazing. They listened, worked with me and my timeline, and gave us such a wonderful, beautiful product; our master bath, and full basement remodel are gorgeous. Bruce is paid weekly based on the work his team does, itemized statement, full disclosure and no surprises. We are hiring them again to add a deck to our home, and cannot wait for the finished product. /Gail & Brett Gordon and family."

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

"I needed to get my laundry room out of the basement and brought up to the main floor. The only good option was to convert part of my single-car garage. After all, who can really part today's car in a 1960's size single garage?! I had a general idea of what I wanted but Dana and her team listened to my needs and came up with a design that worked with both my needs and budget! I use to have to depend on my kids (AKA: pay them) to do my laundry. It's so nice doing my own laundry again and I sing Next Project Studio's praises with each load! Bravo Dana & Team!"

"Expert and professional staff! Courteous, and great workmanship."
