Nick is a super good guy. I asked for a quote... He was at my house that afternoon and spent time with me going over the project so I knew exactly what was going on. Later I need a quote from a Master Electrician... I called Nick and he had a Master Electrician at my house later that evening, who was also very patient while I ask a bunch of questions to find the right solution for me even though the one, we picked would not require any electrical work. Saving me a bunch of money. Nick is very responsive and a good communicator. He is very experienced in wide range of skills and project types. Like any project there are challenges as you go, and Nick just took care of them one-by-one quickly and competently. Nick was very thorough he made sure the scope the work included necessary stuff that other tradesmen may have ignored. So when the job was done it was fully complete, solid, up to code and realistically priced. Nick is now my go-to for any work I need done to the house. Highly Recommended! read more

GP Homes and Repair just finished up a seamless and painless kitchen remodel for us and I'm here to shout their praises from the rooftops. Since we live in central Plano (i.e. a 1970's house), I've always dreamed of remodeling our kitchen but was worried about the process and how our family would survive without our main gathering/eating/cooking and entertaining area. I've heard lots of horror stories and was certain we would be adding to it after we finally made that step. However, enter Nick and David and their whole crew from GP Homes and Repairs and I can't say enough fabulous things about the entire process. After our dishwasher started leaking and caused quite a bit of damage to cabinets and flooring in our kitchen, we decided that now was the time to do it. From the beginning steps of designing to demo day and finishing ahead of schedule (on Thanksgiving week), Nick and his team had us fixing our turkey dinner in our new kitchen and surrounded by our loved ones. We are big on communication, professionalism, staying within budget, and quality work. I'm happy to say that they exceeded our expectations and check all the boxes. Do yourself a favor and give Nick or David a call/email when you are looking for your next home project needs. Email: info@gphomesandrepairs.com Phone #: (972) 900-6487 read more

GP Homes and Repairs is incredible!!! We found Nick Pariente (owner of GP) through a simple website search. His high ratings and great reviews made us reach out and we were not disappointed! Could not be more grateful we found him and we've already recommended him countless times to friends and I've contracted with him again for work at my place of business. For our home, we wanted to remove a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room, do a full kitchen remodel, and re-texture the walls and ceiling in the living room. Before Nick we had two or three contractors quote us for renovating our new house and all said they could only move the wall based on our budget...that was it! Nick told us he could complete everything in our project and that he'd work with our budget and he absolutely did! We could not be more pleased with the quality and speed with which Nick worked and the honesty and transparency he provided throughout the process. If we encountered unforeseen expenses he walked me through why and our options...if he could save us money, he did so at every step of the way. Sometimes it can feel like a contractor is trying to squeeze more out of you like they just want to get it done as fast as possible even if you're not fully satisfied or they have to cut corners. We NEVER felt that with Nick...he is a great advocate! As an example, when our new countertops were installed by the fabricator they cut the opening for the sink too big and wanted to just caulk it to cover up the mistake, I told Nick how we felt about that and he not only got them to recut a new piece of quartz correctly, but he also got us free installation and fabrication on our next project with that fabricator! We're now using that on our guest bathroom renovation. At the end of our project we had gone over our budget by less than $3,000, and that was only because my wife and I chose a nicer quartz material, changed our mind mid and opted to replace all of our cabinets rather than repurpose some, and bought some new appliances. On top of all that Nick is a HARD worker!! Rarely, if ever, was there someone working on the house without Nick there working as well. He's skilled and really puts a lot of his own work and effort into his work...It's rare to find a contractor who works hard like that and doesn't just contract everything out to other companies. He saved us so much and made this dream of our house come true! We consider him a friend and plan on using him again for some other projects! Thank you Nick! read more

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. read more
