Gary and his team are the best! So responsive, attentive and caring. We did a 400 sq ft, second floor addition- not an easy project! The entire time Gary communicated with ease and reassurance. The project finished 2 months AHEAD OF SCHEDULE (4 months vs. 6 quoted). He was professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. The team did great work and if there were ever any issues, Gary solved them right away. I would 110% recommend this business for any contracting job, big or small. It would be hard to find a better contractor (believe me I've worked with plenty)! Thank you Gary! We love our new space! read more

"I'm about 95% done with my ADU project and I had to take a moment to share my experience working with Gary and his team. They have been nothing short of amazing--fast, hard-working, and incredibly detail-oriented. Throughout the project, Gary was very transparent, always taking the time to discuss price options and ensuring everything was clear. One thing that really stood out recently: months ago, during some electrical work, a bit of stucco on the main house was chipped. It was so minor that I never even mentioned it. Today, while the stucco company was working on the ADU, Gary's team had them repair that tiny damage without me ever having to ask. This level of care and attention to detail is why I'd give them six stars if I could. They consistently cleaned up after themselves and were considerate the entire time. I would 100% recommend Gary for any project and will definitely hire him again in the future." read more

We just completed our fourth, and largest project with Gary Faith Construction (GFC) and we are thrilled with the outcome! The project was big - a full home remodel and new construction of an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) and a second two-car garage. As we have come to expect from GFC, we were extremely pleased with the professionalism and quality, the detail and accuracy in the quote, and the expertise, experience and craftsmanship of the team. Gary demonstrated a deep understanding of our vision and provided valuable insights that greatly enhanced our original plans while helping us stay on budget. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the project. Communication during the project was seamless and well supported with pictures which really helps make everything clear. All of the trades (framing, concrete, electrical, tile, cabinetry, plumbing, wood flooring, stucco and more) were well coordinated and the results speak for themselves - a beautiful new enlarged, more functional home and a new garage and ADU! As with our prior experiences with GFC, the project was completed on time and on budget. Gary and his team's commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction make the remodel and new construction process as painless as possible while delivering an incredible result. We highly recommend GFC! read more

We just wrapped up a large home remodel with Gary and his team that includes a kitchen, bathrooms, and multiple other updates like paint and flooring. We are very happy with our experience with his team and so glad that we decided to go with Gary for this project. We would 100% use Gary again for future projects. Here are some highlights -- - Gary himself is extremely organized and responsive. He stayed on top of all kinds of dates and timelines and the whole thing was very efficiently managed. Thanks to this, our project finished ahead of schedule. - Gary's crew was consistent and predictable, an all around great group of people. I was impressed with their workmanship, timeliness, cleanliness, friendliness...the list goes on. - We trusted Gary and his team to work on our project while we traveled for 3 weeks. The Internet will tell you not to do this, but they did a great job while we were gone and we came home to amazing progress. - Gary uses subcontractors that he has worked with for years and also do an amazing job. I was especially impressed with Randy/Ideal Cabinets, Laura/Rock Prefab, and Miguel Herrera who did the quartz fabrication. Amazing work and really easy because Gary managed all the timelines, material pickup, communication, etc. Based on the different quotes we got, Gary's was right about the middle. I felt the cost was totally worth the experience and the outcome. read more

We loved working with Gary Faith Construction! They updated our tandem garage parking space into an actual useable bedroom (raised flooring, ran electrical, poured concrete, installed doors/lights/windows, rerouted dryer vent, paint, etc). It was a great experience working with Gary and his contractors. He checks in frequently, responds quickly, and will add/update anything as needed. He made the construction process painless and it was completed earlier than expected! Overall: responsive, efficient, knowledgable. Would highly recommend! We will definitely use Gary Faith Construction for our future projects. read more

This is crazy overdue but I would 100% recommend working with Gary. We did a full kitchen renovation as well as some HVAC work and a fireplace remodel with Gary. He was communicative and present and I could always get him on the phone (even when I'm sure he wished I couldn't). His team was always respectful and polite and his subs were very professional and did quality work. I am very particular and Gary and his team worked hard to meet my expectations. The work finished on time and the job site was always clean. When issues came up as they always do in construction, Gary and his subs worked with me to find timely resolutions. We are so pleased with the work that was done, we get compliments all the time on our kitchen. Overall Gary was trustworthy, communicative and did high quality work! read more

Gary is a responsive, detail oriented GC, with an ability to tackle small and/or larger complex projects. Gary's bid was competitive with other GCs as well as his deep knowledge base. He was willing to help us envision and problem-solve a variety of intermeshed, long-term projects that included maneuvering around the needs of an aging and occupied income property. Last and best point: his warm, intelligent, and energetic nature is hard to match! He's a pleasure to work with. read more

Gary and team remodeled our kitchen this past winter and they did a fantastic job! We originally chose Gary because he responded quickly and even brought his cabinet contractor to the consultation. Everyone on Gary's team was an absolute pleasure to work with and his sub contractors were exceptional. They were on time and on budget and were very careful working during covid. I would highly recommend! read more

I love my new kitchen!! We just finished a big kitchen and guest bathroom remodeling project with Gary Faith Construction and could not be more pleased. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. Our house was an ugly duckling, with a 1980s floor plan that consisted of a tiny disjointed kitchen, separated from the rest of the house. The bathroom had a tub so tiny, it was practically unusable. The fixtures were dated and tired looking. It was overdue for a change but we were reluctant to start such a project, thinking it would be overwhelming. We were newcomers to the construction realm so we weren't sure where to begin. We started with a business that only wanted to replace our cabinetry but we felt our house needed more drastic measures. We interviewed many contractors but picked Gary because he was able to develop our fledgling vision and bring it to life. He listened to our ideas and made fantastic suggestions. He was easy to talk to, patient and friendly. Gary had us go to his stone and tile expert, Laura, at the most excellent place, called The Rock, who helped us pick our countertops and flooring. Don't worry if you don't know what matches what, just let them guide you and develop your palette. You will be amazed. Also, Gary works with an amazing cabinetry business, called Ideal Cabinets. Wow! Talk about precision craftsmanship. Our cabinet creator, Leo, was a perfectionist and aware of the slightest detail. Gary also arranged for us to have a custom built shower door, which really brought the bathroom to life. Gary's wide array of crews from demolition, to tile installation, to paint, etc., were always friendly, skilled tradespersons. They were so professional, neat, patient and would explain the process as it went. Gary kept careful watch everyday and kept in touch with us constantly. He was always available if we wanted to talk about something. Gary kept everything on schedule, even with labor shortages, due to COVID. He also kept on top of every part that was ordered to make sure it arrived in a timely manner and did not hold up the schedule. He also was very patient with us and explained things to us, construction novices. He did not get upset when we kept asking him to do more items, like paint the entire house and put in all new interior doors. Gary transformed our our ugly duckling into an amazing house. He opened up a wall that had no purpose and brought light and cohesion to our floor plan. Now I have a huge, beautiful kitchen that was better than I ever imagined possible. And the cabinetry with the lighting in it - simply amazing! It belongs in a magazine! We cannot recommend Gary, his crews and related businesses enough. While we miss having his friendly face around here all the time, his quality work is enduring and we will be forever thankful for his efforts. read more

Gary, Chris and Carlos make an amazing team and have wonderful specialists that work with them!! They were prompt, efficient and polite!! I am exstatic with our results and will cherish my kitchen for years to come!!! I highly recommend GFC!!! read more

We had Gary remodel our kitchen and master bath. We spoke with 8 contractors for bids. We picked Gary since he had great yelp reviews, his pricing was somewhat in line with others. I have to say that our experience was nothing like the other reviews here. Right off the bat, communication was poor. After we gave the deposit and signed we waited for communication and got none. Finally we texted him asking for start date and he asked if we had started shopping. We had been waiting for him to give us contact for his recommended vendors. We did like the designer at "The Rock Prefab Granite" who worked with us for 2 hours and we found all we liked. Gary works with a custom cabinet maker Randy from @Ideal Cabinets who came to measure. When his bid came in the cost was $8K (30%) more than Gary had estimated because Gary had "missed including a set of cabinets" in his bid. This was already an expensive project, we probably should have canceled the contract at that moment. However we did negotiate to get the cost down to $6K extra. Finally, 6 weeks after signing the contract we got 3 days notice that they would start. Gary's guys came in to demo and did that quickly. They tried to mask of the work area, however, they struggled getting up our wooden floor and ended up having to bring in a machine to do that, and took the plastic sheeting down and did not put it back up sufficiently. The dust was incredible, especially when they sanded to get the glue up. The house was literally a cloud of dust with little attempt to keep it contained to work area. As we went through the project, there were lots of times there was no one really in charge. So resurfacing of walls was done sloppily getting it onto walls we were not intending to paint right away. The person in charge of the team was great when he was there, but that was not all of the time and Gary was rarely there. So unlike other raters that commented that he gave them feedback and ideas and detail this did not happen for us. The subs he brought in to tile were great and detail oriented, but Gary had under ordered our tile for both our bathroom and kitchen so work stopped while we waited for more. We were charged for "expedited shipping", but expedited shipping ended up still taking a week. This happened twice. Again, with an increase in cost because of under measuring. Each time this meant a halt in tiling, and that the tiler went to another job. The cabinets are beautiful, but again, not measured correctly and a big error in a corner cabinet measurement which meant 4 attempts to get "magic cabinets" installed (different yelp review). One of the worst problems was that the subs often came to us asking questions we couldn't answer, we aren't experts and needed some guidance. For example the cabinet subcontractor made the refrigerator enclosure too small. He claimed that he made it "to spec" but the refrigerator hits the walls on both when installed and had to be forced into the inclosure scratching up the cabinets. if we tried to get guidance from Gary it always engendered a delay. In the past we had done a loft addition and that contractor was there every day to oversee the work answer questions and make sure things were cleaned up after each day. Gary basically only came by the house to collect checks, and sometimes didn't even come by then and had us give checks to his employees. In the end, in coming to get the last check, he didn't even come in to see the final project. Got his check and left. Another serious problem for us was that the wording of the contract was ambiguous. If you use him be careful that you understand correctly what is extra and has to be paid directly to his subcontractors. I guess this was partly our fault. We thought we understood what was included but need up paying other subcontractors thousands of dollars that we thought was included in Gary's contract. With our other renovations (both interior and exterior) the contract was clear and we didn't have completely unexpected charges. In the end the total for the renovation ended up being %30 more than Gary's initial estimate. It would also be a good idea to get the duration of the work included with the contract with penalties for delays. The end product was beautiful so there is that, but there were several things that really detracted from the final product. We would say that if you use Gary you should have your own project manager/designer to check measurements and go over the contract and give you realistic estimates of cost. In the end we could probably have gotten a better result for less cost from one of the other contractors that we had do estimates. read more

This review is long overdue! From the very first meeting, we knew Gary Faith Construction was the one for us. After my elderly mom with demetia died, the townhouse was not in good shape, we were planning on moving to San Diego but needed and entire remodel including 2 1/2 baths, kitchen, all floors, paint and completely redesigning the kitchen including switching from electric to gas stove. We didn't even know if it was possible. We were embarrased to have him come out for the initial walk-through because the place was packed with collectables and lots of stuff our mom hadn't gotten rid of yet, almost every surface was covered. Yet he put us at ease, was very understanding and was able to visualize what we wanted and had some excellent suggestions that we hadn't thought of. Gary also has a great crew and resources for materials (The Rock Granite in San Diego). All the vendors we ended up working with had nothing but good things to say about Gary and he obviously has a great reputation which takes hard work to establish and is always a nice confirmation that we had made the right choice. You can tell immediately that Gary not only knows his technical stuff but is a hard working family man as well. It's a great combination for a contractor. The townhouse was transformed from a dated place into a beautiful updated sleek home which is exactly what we wanted. We have two more projects starting soon for our patio and garage remodel and he will be doing both of those as well. I can't imagine working with anybody else in the area. I'll post picture soon! read more

Gary, and his team are absolutely wonderful. They are extremely professional, and communicate every little detail with you to insure you're getting exactly what you want. My first time remodeling a bathroom, and I was clueless to pretty much everything, but Gary was patient with my learning curve. I have an asshole cat that likes to escape, so they made sure the doors were closed, and if I need to lock him up for the day in one the rooms, they would let him out once they were finished. read more

This review is a year late, but GFC completed a full remodel of our home. They previously remodeled our old home. Their professionalism, courtesy, and follow-through were amazing once again. This project involved everything from sewer lines to a new roof, to a new kitchen, flooring and master bathroom. Gary and Chris are so good at seeing potential issues and getting ahead of them. They present a timeline and get it done. Obviously, issue come up but GFC always addressed head on and promptly. None of my neighbors had nothing but compliments of their crew. They didn't blast loud music or cuss. They treated our home with respect. I can not recommend them enough! read more

Thanks, Gary Faith Construction, Inc., for my BEAUTIFUL new bathroom! It turned out amazing, and I could not be happier! See my before/ after pics . From brown to white/gray! I HIGHLY recommend Gary if you are looking to do renovations. He is a straight shooter (RARE)! fixes any issues immediately, and has an amazing group of sub contractors. I found him by chance/ happenstance, and I am SO LUCKY I ended up getting to work with him! read more

Gary Faith- I'll start from the very beginning: We have an old condo from 1970's that has never been updated. We wanted to find a good, reliable contractor to help us with our project and spoke to 6 or 7 other contractors/companies. From the very beginning Gary had the best communication, replying immediately. He was fair priced. Not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive quote that we were given. The contract he drafted was honest, through, detailed and returned quickly. Compared to other contractors who were unreliable, cheaper but had hidden fees, and sometimes never showed up for initial meetings. From the start Gary was organized and reliable, and really set the scene for the next few months. Our first meeting, Gary was personable, professional and 15 minutes early waiting for us at our site. He gave us professional and sound advice when it came to the remodel. For example, recommending a galley style kitchen rather than having a counter blocking the kitchen entrance. He has such an optimistic, "can do" attitude that really gave us a sense of security for an overwhelming project. Over the next few months, Gary continued to be just as professional and wonderful as the day we met him. He sent us regular updates on the project and was even ahead of schedule at certain points. The connections he has and people that he works with were just as fabulous. From the cabinets, to the tile, railing, and shower glass company, Gary and his entire team was able to mold our vision of the remodel and bring it to life. Every company that Gary referred us to spoke wonders about him as well, his work ethic and honesty in not marking up any materials. The remodel work he executed was done with precision and quality. Gary had a high standard that he expects from his work and it truly shows in his product. After months of remodeling, there are only a couple weeks left for final finishings. I cannot wait to see the final product and will post an updated final review + photos. read more

I hired Gary and his crew last year to to remodel our house from a 3br to a 4br and add a half bath as well as a master bath. It's been about a year and I'm still impressed with the quality and the finish work. It's hard to find a contractor that knows what he's doing, actually shows up and works until the project is done, communicates with you, and doesn't gouge you on costs. He, Chris, and his crew were all super friendly and respectful of the house and kept things as clean as possible. I've had bad experiences with other contractors cutting corners but GFC left me with zero concern. My four year old still puts on a hat and goes around pretending to fix things "like Gary." GFC was great all around. I'd hire them again in a heart beat. read more

From the moment, we met with Gary, we could tell that he was an honest, hard working contractor. Gary and team built a 400 square foot addition on our house in 2019. Gary's price was very competitive, he stayed on budget and on time (actually finished a tad earlier than expected), and we are extremely happy with the addition. He was there on time every day and was very communicative. We had a six month old and 3 year old at the time and the team was very respectful about that and helped us to keep our kitchen intact and usable for as long as possible during the process. One thing that happened during the process is that we made a change to one aspect of the project and it was a decrease in cost. Gary deducted the change in a very fair manner from the total cost of the project and it just showed how honest of a business owner he is. I can't say enough good things about Gary and his team. We have recommended him to friends and would happily use him again if a project comes up for us. read more

Gary and his team helped me to remove a horrible 70's looking mirror wall. He was super quick to respond and easy to work with. His team came the same week I reached out and took care of everything for me. They were also really careful around protecting the floors which is always nice. Would definitely recommend! read more

Top notch! - We hired Gary Faith to renovate our bathrooms this year, but during the project found significant issues with our aging drains. So, we paused the bathroom work and asked Gary to address the drains. Gary and his team oversaw the complete replacement of all the old drains under our home, and later completed the bathroom work. Gary's integrity, know-how and can-do attitude made him an ideal contractor/partner for us. We enjoyed having him and his crew on the property and missed them when they completed the project! We hope to do additional projects with Gary in the future. read more

Gary Faith Construction is a top notch company with Gary actively involved in every step of the project. During our house remodel (bathrooms and kitchen, which turned out beautiful and will be reviewed in a separate post), I threw a curveball at Gary. I always wanted a lift in my garage to work on my car hobby. However the ceiling has a height issue preventing the adequate use of a lift. Gary told he me he could address this for me by reframing the ceiling by building a soffit and giving me an additional 6 1/2 inches of lift. Originally I had my doubts. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the outcome as it far exceeded my expectations. Not leaving well enough alone I decided to have new cabinets made for the garage. Gary's go-to cabinet person Randy and his go-to painter Troy, have turned my garage into a work of art. I am the envy of my neighborhood and would I recommend Gary Faith Construction, hell YES. Pictures say it all. read more

We hired Gary Faith to remodel our kitchen and lay new flooring throughout our downstairs. Gary provided a detailed contract in a very short time with descriptions of what needed to be done with line items called out. I was confident he knew what had to be done and why. As the project went on and things changed (as always happens with a remodel) Gary quickly provided a change order. The subcontractors that were used are very good and reliable and seem to have a very close relationship with Gary, responding to unexpected issues quickly. We are very pleased with the results. read more

Let's talk a little about Gary Faith Cinstruction, all work is completed for what we hired GFC and we could not be more happy. They went above and beyond what we asked for and what our initial scope of work. Gary and Chris are amazing to work with. My wife and I are stoked at the level of expertise of this company. Could not be more happy to have stumbled across GFC. After talking to 7 or 8 other contractors we had nearly given up hopes of finding someone who would execute our vision. Everyone else wanted to sell us cabinets that we didn't like. So some things to keep in mind and the initial meeting, Gary let's you set the level of involvement, which was very important to us. We had the options of finishes or giving them the general direction of which how the finished product should look. My wife ended up wanting more higher end finishes which obviously cost more, well worth the end result because we would have to live with it. Gary and crew would interject with their expertise on all aspects and giving us price range on our wishes, this was invaluable because even though we had lots of ideas we were kept grounded. Watching too much HGTV might not be the best thing to do before starting a renovation. My suggestion to everyone is to hire Gary and Company, pick out a color palette you want to work with, talk directly with Gary every step of the way. He can direct you in all aspects even if he can't provide the service or products, he has a huge network of suppliers that will give you contractor pricing. They will be open to letting you know if things need to be up to code, trust them when they tell you something. The whole team is professional and they are experts at what they do. They are booked fast but worth the wait. Disclaimer: I have not been paid or compensated for this review, this is my honest review. read more

Experienced, Professional, Cost-effective, Capable, Honest and Customer Oriented - This is the contractor you want. Let's face it, a home remodel can be the best thing you ever do, if you survive it :). Gary Faith Construction (GFC) will help you survive and thrive throughout your job, and when it's complete, you will be happy with the results and amazingly, you will be happy with the process! We bought a home near SDSU that hadn't been cared for or updated since it was built in 1959. We found GFC through our new neighbor who showed us the wonderful remodel Gary and team did for him. From our first meeting with Gary we were impressed with his experience, knowledge and creativity. Gary is very generous in sharing his design sensibility along with his solid knowledge of construction and cost management. Together, Gary and Chris came up with very creative yet affordable changes that made our four bedroom house feel much larger and more usable. Gary manages every aspect of the job from suppliers to subcontractors. He has some great suppliers to recommend, but also worked flawlessly with us and other suppliers. Gary is a superb communicator - keeping us updated on every stage and giving us adequate notice on when things were needed. This helped us be on time with finish items like cabinet handles so we didn't have to pay rush shipping or make mad runs to Home Depot. Gary also makes great use of technology, with pictures for both progress updates and questions. This really helped us make better decisions and kept the job on time. Speaking of which, the job was completed on the aggressive schedule we needed, and on budget. A 'no-surprises' contractor is hard to find, and GFC is that contractor. Next time we need a contractor, GFC is who we will call! read more

We recently renovated our whole house I'll start by saying I just wish I met Gary and Chris sooner. It would have been done long ago and would have been done right. They were fantastic. Gary was able to give me a ballpark quote off our first phone conversation as he knows his craft. The bid process was professional and straightforward. The work happened the way he said it would AHEAD of schedule. Yes, I said ahead of schedule. Everything ran like clockwork, inspections passed without issues, project was smooth and exactly what I'd hoped would be the outcome. I had them do significant structural work, removing two walls to leave only a small post, and remove two windows opening a new centered window. Stucco patches outside, complete remodel with flooring inside. We used to be too cramped to eat together or all hang out in the kitchen (we're a family of 6). Now we have breakfast and dinner together daily. I've met too many contractors in the last year, only wish I had met this one sooner. He'll be my first call for anything I need going forward. read more

I would 100% use Gary Faith for any remodel project hands down. When our kitchen flooded I called several contractors to find someone to help us. From our first conversation, I had total confidence in Gary & his knowledge/experience! He was able to give me a accurate quote in a timely manner, he has excellent communication, answered all my questions, amazing attention to details, and got our complete kitchen remodel done, ahead of schedule!

Gary and his team were terrific. They showed up on time every day, were courteous and efficient, and wore masks. Gary was very professional, detailed, and easy to work with. Whenever there was a minor glitch that I brought to his attention, he cheerfully had his guys come back to fix it without any hesitation or argument. I would definitely recommend Gary Faith and will use him again in the future! read more

We had a miserable experience with a different construction company and had to abort the job and file a CSLB complaint and take them to court. I was beside myself with the fact that so much time and money was wasted and their work had to be torn down it was so flawed. Gary Faith gave a fair estimate and a rapid timeline for completion, and we engaged him. The difference was day and night- with Gary Faith we had a work team on site at 7:30 am every day. They were reliable, did highest quality work, and were clearly a hard working team that had worked together for a long time, had great faith in Gary, and gave their best. His creative solutions were beautiful and he was there, really present and communicating with me almost daily. The other construction company head barely showed up , was not there a dozen times over 6 months. His foreman was also rarely there and subs came and went like chickens with their heads cut off- not knowing what to do, not having things in place for the next step. To make a long story short we lost $100 K on the first decision, ouch. Gary Faith completed ahead of time, even though he had to even remove the walls from the other guys, create HVAC solutions, demo and rebuild mis sized laundry rooms, level floors, redo the electrical work and more. It is now a gorgeous 600 sq foot ADU and I thank my lucky stars that I found someone with integrity, skill and leadership qualities. Go to the CSLB and read the disaster stories and their 10 most wanted lists, save yourself my financial pain and mental suffering and get Gary Faith to do the job if you can get him. He is 5 star on YELP for a good reason- he is a gem of a construction company read more

Long story short: this crew demolished a crap box and rebuilt a custom home in 3 months, with A-grade city inspections all the way through. Side note - the guy with the 1-star review.... must be a liar. If anything, I TRIED to get the crew to drink beers with me in the late afternoon August heat after a week of back-breaking labor, and they stuck to water and iced tea. As a project manager, I must write that Gary Faith and his capable crew were highly impressive and diligent. From project planning through the contract process through amazingly fast and solid execution of approved city plans, there are no complaints and only praises. A 1951 ranch home that was basically crumbling into a canyon was scraped from the earth, the foundation was completely repaired, and a new masterpiece was expertly constructed in record time. The team is 100% professional, honest and hard-working. Cost was extremely fair. The city inspector was even amazed. The quality of work is off the charts. If there was a problem along the way (e.g. your ancient iron sewer pipe is busted), they informed me, fixed it, and moved on. We now have a brand new 2013-permitted showpiece and still use Gary and his crew for smaller projects when we feel lazy or overwhelmed (i.e. finish what we thought we could do ourselves...). They know the home. They know construction. They are efficient. They are awesome. Contact me anytime if you want more details. read more

This is the construction service you need if you want (1) it done right (2) it done in a reasonable time frame (3) to be kept well informed (4) to have a friendly, reliable, trustworthy team working on your home and (5) to be thoroughly impressed and super happy with the work! Gary and his team remodeled our home to add a new bedroom and bathroom, remodeled our master bath and transformed our family room. Gary helped walk us through the whole process, from recommending an architect, to getting permits, the demo phase, use of the rest of our house during the major construction, finishes and recommendations of where to get the supplies that we needed. Gary is friendly, honest, trustworthy and just does the best job! He thinks about small details that would never have occurred to us, does not leave even the smallest item unfinished and everything just looks amazing! Gary is a really good communicator and kept us well informed throughout everything, and even after the construction. I can always rely on him to answer his texts promptly, address issues or questions and talk me through things I don't understand. While we went on vacation during our project, Gary texted me pictures of the progress and kept us updated on everything meaning that we could relax, safe in the knowledge that we had left a reliable and trustworthy company in our home. Oh and did I mention that I was pregnant through this process and had the baby about 3 months into the major remodel?!? Gary and his team pushed to make sure the bulk of the work was done before I came home with the baby, sealed off our bedroom to minimize dust, and made every accommodation to make sure the finishing stages were not disruptive to the new baby!! Gary goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect, drops by on weekends to solve problems as needed and is really on top of the whole construction project. We could not have been happier with the remodel, and have found in Gary and his team the best construction company! I think the pictures speak for themselves....... read more

We hired Gary and Chris to remove a small support wall and beam in our kitchen and flush the beam into the attic area and extend the support to different wall. We received an outrageous bid from a previous contractor for over twice as much as what Gary and Chris quoted and they proposed way less time to complete the job. They also determined that adding additional footing support (what the other guy recommended) was unnecessary and would not add to the structural integrity which further reduced the costs. Gary was super easy to communicate with, uses technology to his advantage (calendar invites, texts, etc) and was on time to all appointments. They were able to accommodate our timeline and squeezed our little job in between others on the weekend. They were knowledgeable and completed the job on time and on budget. We highly recommend them. read more

Had our master bathroom remodel done by Gary Faith Construction, and am totally happy that I went with them. We are picky, and have a LOT of questions. Through it all, Gary, Chris, & team were there to work with us, and make sure we were left happy. The bathroom came out looking beautifully. Just gorgeous. And this includes AFTER the project was completed. As we slowly started getting settled into the new bathroom, any questions or minor tweaks we needed, Gary worked with his to make it happen. He's come back several times now, to look over things and discuss them. Definitely great customer service. read more

Wasted a lot of my time on calls, texts, yelp exchanges then refused to take on the project, didn't even bother giving an explanation. During text exchanges complained I require "too much attention" after I sent him literally 1 text and 1 Yelp message before new year's eve, due to expiring new year's sale, during which I had to get an answer from him on some equipment purchase. One of the worst experiences I've had communicating with a contractor, and I've done a lot of remodeling, a lot of projects. Response to business owner's comment below - January 7, 2021 Almost everything he said is straight up lies, and misrepresentation. I have been in touch with the company for about 10 days, so of course there have been phone calls and multiple Yelp and phone text exchanges. They were necessary and a lot of those exchanges were not even initiated by me - it was Gary, reaching out to me, and it was well before new years eve. There was only 1 yelp message and 1 text sent from me on the new years eve day - the rest were prior, normal conversations which happened over the course of ~10 days and more than half not even initiated by me. There were NO multiple calls or voicemail left by me on new years eve - I made very limited contact and only because of expiring new year's equipment sale. Gary lies about amount of contact, and I suspect the reason he is delusional about 2 voicemails he claims he saw from me on new years day is because he neglected his phone and voicemail, and didnt take any calls and didnt check any of his voicemails for many days leading up to new year. It's entirely possible I have left 2 voicemails total over the course of ~10 days we were in contact, but I did not leave anything on new years eve, let alone multiple ones on same day. Gary is also lying in his comment by saying "it was apparent you and your project would require something we currently cannot provide". I have a straight forward, small construction project and he personally assured me his company has done the exact type of work I need at least 8 times before. I now wish that call was recorded, so I could post the recording here and expose his lies with hard evidence. read more

The reason I called Gary was because of a review I saw of how courteous he is to his customers. Even though Gary could not help me out he referred me to someone that could handle my situation. I can tell that this guy is not in it for dollars only. He actually cares and this is very hard to find. I would trust his company over the rest simply because he's not only a good guy with a strong character but he does some pretty damn good work from what I'm seeing in his design portfolio. Thanks again Gary! The reference will have me done in 1 week! 5 STARS! read more

Gary was referred to us by John David- The Handyman (also amazing) when we needed some time sensitive investigating done on a property we were selling. Not only did Gary do the work quickly, honestly and effectively, he went far above and beyond our expectations. When we have work that needs done in the future he will hands down be our first phone call. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Gary! read more

Gary and his crew recently completed a master bathroom remodel in our home which included a new pocket door, custom cabinets, custom tile work (frameless glass shower enclosure w/custom niche), and recessed lighting. We are very happy with the results! Gary, Chris, Bill and the entire team were the epitome of what you want in a contractor...the bid was competitive/very reasonable, the project came in on-budget, the worksite was clean and the crew cleaned up after themselves daily, their communication skills were great (Gary was very easy to get in touch with if a question arose), the quality of work was good, the entire crew was friendly, great with our toddler, and seemed very honest and trustworthy. The project did take slightly longer to complete than originally estimated (due mostly to unforeseen issues that Gary and his team handled very quickly and without much added cost) and there were a few minor details we were unhappy with at the end of the project but Gary did everything he could to find a solution and make sure we were happy. We would definitely recommend Gary Faith Construction to anyone who asked and plan on using their services again for any remodel/addition projects we have in the future. Thanks guys! read more

Almost 1 year after our remodel, we had a few minor things that came up (some minor caulking cracking around our tub from our house settling and our tankless water heater stopped producing hot water)-- issues that had nothing to do with the Gary Faith team's quality of work. Yet, when we called Gary Faith, he quickly sent someone over to resolve it. Terrific service and their willingness to honor their 1 year warranty on their work is outstanding! read more

Gary Faith Construction- You guys are my hero's. I came to this company about 2 months ago to have some work done in our house. I spoke with Gary on the phone, he was intelligent, knowledgeable and honest. Gary possessed all the traits you want in a person when you are going to go into business with them. Over the phone he actually mentioned a cheaper way of doing the job I needed done, which really sealed the deal and proved to me his was an honest guy. So, Gary and Chris came down to our place and started fixing it up and they did such a great job. I really was amazed to see the progress as it went along. There was was incredible, and impeccable. I've gave solid recommendations to all my friends about Chris and Gary. You guys will really go far. I'm glad to see some honest people in the construction trade, as prior to meeting Chris and Gary I've had some bad experiences. read more
