While I didn't end up needing him in the end, I was impressed by his responsiveness and willingness to work me in to his schedule since I was in need.
I would definitely call him for anything like this again.
Will use again when have need for his service.
I contacted Gil on July 2nd. He promptly returned my call and came out to discus the job.
He is a very personable fellow.
Once here we discussed adding some additional grading work to a shared drive. I told him that I would talk to my neighbors and
he said that he would contact me within the week. He explained that he had 12 other jobs ahead of me and that because he lives
in Millersport, that he likes to consolidate work with jobs in the same general areas.
He took measurements but did not give an estimate at this time.
I called him that week and told him my neighbors were interested in having the work done. He came out towards the end of August,remeasured the job and discussed the work that he would be doing. We said that we wanted the work done. He said that he
would contact us with an estimate. He also said that he is about 50 jobs out.
It is now Nov 11th and we haven?t still haven?t been contacted.
After I retired I did handyman work for 10 years. I know what it is like to get behind in your obligations, but I always communicated
with clients if there was a change in my original plans.
This is my first experience using Angie's List.
Gil is a pleasure to work with. He is kind, professional, and responsive. He is also generous with his time in the planning stages to make sure the final product turns out well. We were adding a circle drive to a new
building on the property and he spent extra time making sure the drive was long enough and wide enough to accommodate our truck and trailer. He was right, the way we had originally layed it out would have failed to do the job. I appreciated his guidance which save a lot of money and headache down the road. He also used some of the material for the new drive to fix the existing gravel drive that was full of potholes. When he first did it, he was not entirely satisfied with the result so he brought a different piece of equipment out in a separate trip to make sure the job was done just right. Our driveway had not been maintained for many years and was a mess. We are very pleased with the result.
The prices were fair. Not the cheapest nor the most expensive excavating service. I felt the service provided was worth what we spent and I couldn't be happier.
We will hire Gil again when we are ready to do drain tiles across the fields.
wonderful everything works and looks great he was here everyday doing something or preparing for the next task.
cleaned up after every work day even sweeping off the road, he was nice helpful answered our questions we have already recommended him to people my husband works with and our neighbor is wanting an estimate which by the way are free.Licensing
