Reviews

A big “thank you” to GP Homes for the amazing work transforming our gallery kitchen into a more updated and functional space. Our project included knocking out a wall to add a peninsula, gutting the kitchen for all new cabinets and appliances, and an updated electrical panel. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result! From the start of the project, Nick was very forthright, professional and extremely helpful navigating us through design options and expectations. He used software to generate a rendering of our space that really allowed us to visualize changes, materials, etc. His crew was courteous and hard working, and at the end of the day, we’d often find Nick helping to clean up and ensure the project stayed on schedule. We are so incredibly appreciative for GP Homes (and to our friend’s for their referral). We are loving our new space!!

If you're reading this and still trying to decide on a contractor, I implore you to hire GP Homes.

I have spent several hours trying to compose a review commensurate with the level of work that was provided. I cannot overstate the attention to detail, professionalism, and expertise that everyone brought to the project.

They found and repaired several items during the renovation process. The level attention to detail extended to how they cleanly they organized the electrical and plumbing. I was very impressed, and so was the inspector!

I had to remodel my only bathroom in my condo. I got several bids and GP Homes was the only one who seemed excited to start. I am aware that not too many contractors want to take on the small projects, but Nick (the GC) made me feel valued and that my project was just as important as a new-build.

I must admit that I was suspicious as the reputation of contractors is about on par with lawyers and used car salesmen. You always read horror shows where the contractor comes in, you pay them, they rip everything put, and then disappear. One only needs to watch several home improvement shows, read NextDoor, or watch the news.

I have to say that my suspicions were ill-founded. Nick was highly responsive to my calls or texts no matter what time of day I called. I never felt like I was "just another customer".

I am a very hands-on person and I like to be involved in every aspect of the project. Everyday, Nick would review what the subcontractors did and what they had planned for the next day. As a project manager for a major airline, I much appreciated this. I know how projects can get off track and the level of communication was fantastic.

Nick is an honest and trustworthy individual that I would not hesitate to do business with in the future.

I understand that my incessant questions, and my insistence of how I wanted things to work or look couldn't have been easy. However, Nick was very patient with me and if an idea wasn't feasible he would tell me. I valued his opinions, as this was my first remodel. I changed my mind on several things based on his expertise.

His subcontractors were very professional, respectful, and hard-working. They even cleaned up at the end of the workday, everyday. In most cases they left my condo cleaner than I did!

Please consider hiring GP Homes. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I am beyond thrilled with how everything turned out.

We needed a whole room redesigned. We turned the closet into an office space and the remaining portion is now the dining room. Nick and his crew were wonderful. Keep the mess to a minimum. He came out everyday to make sure the work was done correctly. The project was finished on time. He was not the cheapest bid. Very worth it. We are so happy with the work. It turned out better than we expected. He made suggestions which were appreciated. I can't say enough about how professional and amazing the finished room is. So happy we choose GP Homes And Repair.

I contacted a number of contractors to have some extensive termite damage repaired. Nick from GP Homes and Repairs was the first to reach out and also the first to visit. In fact, many general contractors never contacted me back, so I appreciate Nick taking on this job.
He was very accommodating of my many requests and took efforts to understand the details that I desired. Everyone was polite and professional.
Pricing appeared to be reasonable considering the extent of the termite damage. The provided materials appeared to be of good quality.
Pressure treated wood was used so as to be more resistant to future termite damage. The paints had good color matching and were good quality. The finish work overall looked decent.

I did have a number of issues:

- When I first asked him if he has his work permitted with the City, he said "yes." Towards the end, I realized there were no permits opened on my house. I called the Building Inspections department and was told that the work being done required a permit. I called Nick and he suggested that it's my responsibility to request the contractor to pull a permit, and not the responsibility of the contractor themself to automatically obtain a permit. He indicated that my request for permitting would be an additional $1500. Before work began, Nick never asked me if I wanted a permit. I thought that he would already, (A), know when a permit is required or not required, and (B), be obtaining necessary permits for all work. I would like to see Nick automatically working with the Building Inspections department regarding permitting.
- Paper floor covering was laid sparsely and did not cover the entire work area. There were a number of scratches left on the floor afterwards, to which Nick offered only a $50 discount. I would like to see the entire work area, entry, and all pathways covered before work begins.
- Covering over furniture was not securely taped, so dust easily blew under. I would like to see more emphasis on dust control, like having coverings tightly taped over furniture and floor-to-ceiling containment.
- Despite the ongoing pandemic, nobody wore any face covering in the home.
- Subcontractors were unfamiliar with proper insulation practices. This was the case for the fiberglass originally provided but also with the mineral wool that I later on requested and supplied. I would like to see more focus on proper insulation and air sealing details.
- Subcontractors were unfamiliar with electrical. I would like to see the necessary electrical subcontractors provided to handle electrical.
- One of the wires were severed during the repair, and Nick proposed repairing it by installing a junction box that he would bury inside the wall without an exposed cover plate. He installed the box exposed per my request, however, I'm concerned that he considered that burying the junction box was acceptable.
- Nick warned me that my crown molding could not be perfectly matched, which I understood. However, the subcontractor hauled off one of the removed pieces as trash and Nick informed me that the piece was damaged upon removal and could not be saved. The pieces did not appear un-salvageable, so I'm disappointed the pieces were not retained, as there is no match available.
- The caulking he used started cracking and separating only a few days after work completed.
- There was a lack of communication regarding the invoice details. As my job involved termite damage, there was often additions being made to the work order. Nick did not provide any updated invoices until the last day of the job.

I'm grateful that Nick frequently asked about my satisfaction with the work throughout. I felt it difficult to express some of my concerns (such as the ones I described above), but overall, I think the experience was acceptable and the work was decent. I hope that my feedback in this review will be helpful to Nick and his team at GP Homes and Repairs.
