Perfect. Gary and his specialist were great. Prompt, professional, did a great job for a fair price and very pleasant to deal with.

Gary Greenwald delivered excellent service on our countertop/backsplash/sink project. He found a creative solution to our unlevel cabinets without which the project may have been impossible. I guess that's what happens when you have 50 years of experience. In less than a week, we had a beautiful new countertop and backsplash and were ready to hook up the sink. He and his crew and the granite fabricator he works with were always prompt and efficient, and their workmanship was top notch.

We had water in the basement and decided to take the opportunity to not only fix the issue, but make some upgrades - new ceiling, doors, lighting, add crown molding, etc). We did our due diligence, getting several quotes and, ultimately, chose Gary for the job. So many great things to say about Gary and his team. As others have stated, he is always on time (even a bit early, which I appreciate) and got the job done efficiently. He's a straight shooter and knows this stuff. We are first-time homeowners, so we needed a little hand-holding, which was a perfect match for Gary. He explained the process, provided options and did what he said he would do. And, if he doesn't do something, he's "got a guy" that can. The thing I appreciated the most was his passion for what he does. On the first day, he and the electrician walked through with us and were more excited than my husband and me for what the finished product would look like. He offered "upgrades" and suggestions without being pushy and I'm so glad we took the advice. I could go on and on, but I'll end by saying that I highly recommend Gary and his "team" of experts.

Gary was excellent to work with. He was one of the few people willing to get the work I needed done and in an extremely timely manner too. He showed up at the exact time he said he would. I would 1000% recommend and will be using again sometime in the future.

Gary arrived on time, worked efficiently, left our driveway looking cleaner than it was when he came. Finished ahead of schedule. Gave advice on how to maintain wood steps - great all around! Would hire again.

Gary was straight-up and honest from the first phone call. He's quick, to the point, and doesn't want to waste time, whether talking or in actually doing the work! Not only does he jump right in, get his workers in on time, and is extremely well-thought through, he also makes excellent suggestions to make the job come out even better. He coordinated the job and all the other independent vendors (electricians, plumbers, kitchen people....) from start to finish. He was also very responsive to all my questions. He even finished the job a day early than his prediction!

Gary has built closets, remodeled bathrooms, fixed shutters, installed wainscoting, replaced our wooden deck, repaired water damage, and performed countless other repairs at our home. He is wonderful. Really, really wonderful. Every single thing he did for us has been perfect. He has put us in touch with the best painters, electricians, plumbers, and asphalt contractors we've ever used. Now, no matter what I need now, I call Gary. If he can't do it, he knows who to call. I have given many reviews on Angie's List. Gary gets my highest rating ever. Don't call anyone else. Gary is your guy. It's as simple as that.

Gary Greenwald is simply the best contractor to work with out there. Professional, creative and insanely reliable - he was there every day he said he'd be there, on time and ready to go. He was a pleasure to have in the house as well and great with our pets. He gutted our bathroom, removed/replaced all moldy, rotted materials; beautiful reconstruction with updated electrical and plumbing, new materials. Our tile looks great. We are so happy. Will use for our kitchen next!

Based on his years of experience Gary was able to intelligently diagnose and efficiently repair a leak behind the shower wall. The job was done with very high quality and professionalism. Gary also painted our basement and the job was similarly done with very high quality. We will definitely hire Gary and team again.

We called Gary to come in & help us to design/install built-in shelving/new mantle around our fireplace as well have the area wired to be able to mount a TV above the fireplace. He came in quickly, ran thru our options and had the area measured and mapped out in our first meeting. We were lucky that he was available the following week. He had the entire job finished in 3 days, even after we added that we wanted the entire space as well as the built-ins painted for us. We couldn't be happier for how amazing the space came out. Gary is a true professional & we would absolutely hire him again.

Gary and Rochelle arrived at 8am as promised and both men worked for 7 hours straight. They solved tricky problems with skill, patience, and good humor. A significant list of assorted jobs was utterly annihilated with such efficiency I almost could not keep up with them. They did things properly from the start -- no short cuts. Helpful advice was provided as well, on a number of household concerns.

One of the BEST experiences I've had when hiring someone to work on my house. Gary is what I can best describe as 'old school'! He turns up on time, he returns phone calls and texts. I was able to discuss every aspect and stage of the project with him - he offered suggestions of his own, but was happy to work to my specifications when I wanted it. The work was done in a timely manner, all the subcontractors he used were first-rate, and he and his team cleaned up beautifully after themselves. If I could give him more than an A+, I would!

It went great. I called Gary and explained that one of my interior steps had broken. He and his crew came on Saturday to repair. Did an exceptional job. Would highly recommend

Gary was prompt and able to fit us in right before the holiday - he was very professional and did a great job in smoothing the drywall to the plaster ceiling. Bubbles formed during drying (not due to any issues with the patching) and he came back to fix and re-smooth them within 48 hours. He also helped replace dim lighting and provided a lot tips/ideas for small improvements we could do ourselves. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for so well worth it for detailed/exact work. Will hire again for future jobs!

Mr. Greenwald did an outstanding job to include not only replacing damaged materials, but adding additional materials to help prevent future water damage caused poor placement of a gutter and electric power meter. Job really was expertly done for a reasonable price. Would hire again and will certainly recommend to others.

Fantastic! Gary was there when he said he'd be there. Every time. His work was impeccable. He knew where the problems came from, and fixed the root of the problem so it didn't happen again. Can't recommend highly enough!

Overall this was a great contractor experience. I haven't had many good experiences with contractors in NJ. When I first requested the quote, it was given promptly. They showed up on time. Work was excellent and clean up was equally as good. And the owner was a pleasure to deal with. I would absolutely hire them again for future work.

Fabulous. I felt very comfortable with Gary and his assistant in my home. Work was done neatly, very respectful to my property. I will call him again for jobs big and small!

Gary was upfront and honest with us from day one. He started with a rough estimate and worked through the details and options with us so we were comfortable with what to expect. He was clear about how he operated and what he needed from us in order for the project to be successful. He and his team did outstanding work - we're very pleased with the final product. Using the room now you can tell there were no shortcuts and the work was done the right way. Gary remained flexible throughout the renovation (we were working around holidays for much of the time), gave us opportunity to voice our opinions, and never allowed us to make costly missteps. His honest advice was welcome among other contractors that would gladly let us over-design for our property (and waste money). Gary ensured we invested wisely in the right places to make a smart improvement to our home.

Work was completed on two separate calls which he responded to promptly. Once appointment dates were set, Gary updated me with texts to confirm the time. I had ordered the doors at a home improvement store & Gary picked them up prior to coming both times. Gary and his worker work efficiently and very neatly. When the exterior trim he brought was not a perfect match for one of the doors, Gary made some calls and left to get the exact trim. We have been happy with all of his work & he is the contractor we will call no matter what the size of the job. As a bonus, he loves dogs so they don't need to be kept in separate rooms.

Gary and his helpers were amazing, professional, efficient, and (bonus!) kind to our four-year-old. Gary's work was excellent, particularly given our house and porch, neither of which is level or square. Gary's estimates of time and money required were spot-on, and he did very tidy work, cleaning up as though it were his own house. He made sure we knew how to maintain the Trex. He obviously takes great pride in his work, and we would be very happy to have him do more work on our house. We were triply grateful that he agreed to come to Staten Island (where we live) to do the work, as we had no luck getting a Staten Island contractor to come out and replace our porch (the job was too small for many to consider).

Gary was a total professional the whole time. He was able to do a same-day estimate when we first reached out for help and was able to squeeze us in and start the next day. He and his crew showed up on time and got right to work. They were able to finish the main job ahead of schedule and were able to help us with a few odds and ends like rerouting and repairing our bathroom vents and removing an old, unused satellite dish. He even did some spackling work in our kitchen that we are planning to have painted soon. Can't recommend Gary enough - he's capable and professional and gets the job done right.
