If you are reading this review STAY AWAY FROM CHRIS GORMAN whatever you do. He is NOT a builder. He is an imposter, a delegator, a fraud, and a total joke. He will fool you into thinking he is a “dedicated” boutique builder, committed to quality and “personalized fashion”…. ALL LIES. He will over-promise and under-deliver. Once he has your money and your contract is signed- it’s over. You will then enjoy weeks and months of radio silence and unanswered calls, texts, emails, voicemails etc. He will fool you into thinking that he can create your dream home and that he can produce any customization that your heart desires. When in reality, he will bite off more than he can chew (with no intentions of keeping his promises) and then proceed to come back to you and make you feel guilty as of your “expectations are too high.” He will also make you use some ridiculous app for ALL communication called BuilderTrend. It is not user friendly AT ALL - and most of your communication (what little there is with him) will slip through the cracks. I left my home in Cleveland (along with my boyfriend and mother) to move to Cincinnati in August of 2021 because we were told that the house would be done in August of 2021. Christmas came and we still did not have a house and we’re forced to live in a hotel. Because he lied about the timing of the house and allowed his delusional circus of clowns continue to lie to me about the status of the house (even went so far as to lie to me about supply chain issues due to COVID that didn’t exist); my family suffered significant financial losses. If you are young or a female he will assume that your an idiot and take advantage of the fact that you may be naive when it comes to building a home. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. You are better off hiring Bob the Builder (Childrens fictional character) then this clown 🤡 P.S. IF YOU NEED A FANTASTIC BUILDER GO SEE RON HENDRICKS AT RH HOME SOLUTIONS!!!

We decided to update our kitchen appliances and partially remodel the kitchen, while removing only about half the cabinets. The work did require all new countertops. Chris was recommended to us by our electrician. He came to our house soon after we phoned him, listened to our plans, and quickly came up with a reasonable estimate and a plan of attack. We settled on a start day and wow, he never wavered; he and his guys showed up at 9 a.m. that day to begin the demo. Things progressed quickly because Chris was adept at getting the subcontractors he needed to show up right on schedule. And the subcontractors he brought in for finish carpentry, granite work and tile work were all very good. And they worked fast. When small jobs came up that could've fallen through the cracks or caused delays, Chris tackled them himself to keep the work going. We're very happy with the quality of the kitchen work and we would hire Chris again for sure.

Let me start by saying that the construction project Chris Gorman just completed for my family was particularly complex. We bought a 4.5 acre lot that was neglected for decades, required demolition of an old house with detached garage, needed a few acres of dense overgrowth cleared, had significant water drainage issues, and had no immediate access to sewer or natural gas. Needless to say, a huge amount of land development work had to be done before ground could be broken on our home. On top of all that, I am a detailed person with a strong sense of what I like and what I don?t. If that helps paint a picture that this wasn?t a simple project, you would be spot on. That said, I don?t know of another builder in the Greater Cincinnati area that I would trust more than Chris Gorman. We absolutely love our new home. It's beautiful. It?s unique. It's functional and fits the way our family lives. It?s marketable. It's a custom home without the custom builder attitude or inflated price tag, and it's perfect for our family. Not only did I see the quality and the concern for doing things right, I talked with quite a few subcontractors who worked on the project and the theme was overwhelmingly positive toward Chris. I also heard nightmare stories about other well known builders in the area, which further reinforced that we had made a good decision by entrusting our new home to Chris. We liked the fact that he was very hands-on throughout the build process. He made sure the subs did what they were supposed to do, and he selected subs who took pride in their work and who were good at their craft. With a project this complicated not everything was easy. However, when unexpected issues arose, Chris was good at identifying solutions; some even turned out better than the original plan. He was also flexible and creative as we moved through the project. Here are a few tips, for what it?s worth, from our build experience: 1) Don?t rush the design process upfront. Take as much time as you need to get it the way you like it, considering your budget. Once the house is under construction, it's much harder and more costly to make significant changes. 2) Give your builder as much detail as possible (written, ideally by email). This helps keep everyone on the same page, provides a time-stamped paper trail so there is accountability for both parties, and it gives you something to refer to as the project moves forward. So many decisions happen so fast that it?s impossible to remember everything important to the project if you don't write it down. 3) Whatever construction time frame you are given ? double it. Then be pleasantly surprised if it comes in early. You can't count on the weather cooperating, and timelines with most builders are aggressive. Besides, there are lots of moving parts that must line up to complete a project of this magnitude. Our home came with a 1-year warranty and in a few months we will be doing a check-up with Chris for any fixes that may need to be handled. I will post an update after that time.

Built a new custom home on a large, challenging piece of property. Equipped home with many high efficiency features, such as a ground loop geothermal system and a tight building envelope, to minimize energy costs for years to come. Guided us through the entire process from land development to home design to permitting to construction to final walk through and keys to the front door.

Chris Gorman met with us, came up with ideas for our renovation. We identified the problems we wanted to solve with our current house. We then found ideas to solve the problems. My wife and I started off with a picture of what we thought would solve our problems. Chris, however, came up with easier, cheaper, and better ways to solve the problems. He then had an architect draw up plans and got all needed permits. A renovation of this size is always a bigger job than anyone can expect. However, Gorman Construction kept everything as clean as possible (which is very difficult to do) and as efficient as possible. We love the fact that nothing got added to the bill at the end. The number at the beginning was the number at the end. Of course, if we had upgraded at any point during the process, we would pay for that. But, Chris kept costs tightly under control. In the end, we have a remodeled kitchen, a brand new mud room, an expanded master bath and an expanded master closet. The workmanship is impeccable and the results are stunning.
Description of Work
The Gormans did a fantastic job with our huge renovation. We went with Gorman Construction because they are experienced home builders. The renovations were nothing short of fantastic. They were completely full service. Chris Gorman came to our house, walked through with us, produced all necessary architectural drawings, took care of all permits, hired all labor. Everything. The best part is, the price we got from Gorman Construction was the lowest we saw. The bottom line price that we were shown at the very beginning was the exact price at the end. No add-ons, no phony service charges, nothing of the sort. How often do you see that kind of service? On top of great service and great work, the Gormans are personally friendly and seem quite motivated to do a good job. They provided the kind of service that you wish every service company provided. I HIGHLY recommend Gorman Construction. I can not say enough good things about working with them.
