"We had a major project. Our project was the 1st floor of our three-story townhouse David and Josh were very professional in guiding us through every aspect of completing our full kitchen, bathroom, small living room and craft room. They gave us a detailed written estimate for both the downstairs work plus the beautiful 12' × 16' composite deck. The work began on time and was completed as agreed upon. Dave and Josh cleaned up their workspace and tools every day. They kept us apprised of daily progress. One of our little dogs even developed a close attachment to Josh! My wife and I would definitely recommend GG Handyman & Home Remodeling to other potential clients. Thx!!@ David and Josh."
