This review is long over due! Matt and Jody are awesome. My husband and I purchased a home in September 2018 and wanted to update practically the entire home. We found GW construction on Yelp, called during the week at about 7 PM, and Matt answered (which I was surprised as most contractors are off at 5 sharp or earlier). Matt was able to come out the next day to go over everything we wanted done- new HVAC, tile floors throughout the house, baseboards, stucco, painting inside and out, replace a window with a sliding glass door, and installation of toilets, sink fixtures, lighting fixtures, etc. Matt had Jody help as our project manager throughout the process. Jody was great! She kept us up to date, worked with the crews, and sent us updated pictures. Matt and Jody were always available, weekends and nights. On many occasions Matt met us at the house at 8:30 PM at night to go over things. He took the time to answer all of our questions, and several times took the time to review the design changes we wanted to make, in person. He understood that we work an 8-5, so many times made himself available to talk and meet after normal business hours. He never made us feel like we were inconveniencing him, and that says a lot about the type of person that Matt is. The remodel turned out great! We love our home and would say if anyone is looking to make renovations, want a great company that is reliable, available, has the best communication, and will get the job done right for you...then go with Matt at GW Construction! As soon as you meet Matt you will see how he truly cares about what you want and need. Thank you Matt and Jody! You both are awesome!!! read more

Amazing to work with! Great attention to detail and extremely communicative. Give GW a call with all you construction needs!

"We've worked with GW construction management for several years on our HOA properties in San Diego. Their team has handled SB326 and SB721 deck inspections and repairs, and every project has passed smoothly. They're a great crew -- friendly, professional, and true experts at what they do. Best of all, they're a family-owned business that genuinely cares about quality and customer relationships. Highly recommend them for any HOA or deck repair work." read more

Do yourself a favor and look for someone else. We did a major renovation with GW and I could write a whole book about that unfortunate experience and everything that was done wrong there, including some shady practices of conducting business, but I would sum it up and say it was not good, to put it mildly. Feel free to send me a private message if you really want all the gory details, but trust me - you don't want to go through what we went through on this project. It might also be worth noting that the person listed as the owner of this company sold the company to new owners some time ago, so I am not sure all of the reviews reflect the current ownership. Matt (current owner) is a truly gifted sales person, but unfortunately, any resemblance between what he promises and what you will end up with, when the work is done, is entirely coincidental. read more

GW helped us build an additional dwelling unit in the backyard of my parents house. I can't afford to buy a new house on my own and this was a great alternative. Matt was very professional and took my ideas and preferences into account while we were working on the project. I'm so happy with the results, and even though I'm in my parents backyard it feels like I'm living in the house of my dreams. And that's all thanks to Matt and his team! read more

Matt is fantastic!! He has done several home projects for us and all of them well. He is honest, friendly and professional. And he is very concerned and involved with helping our local neighbors!! read more

GW Construction - One of the projects. Sun shade over our back patio - General Contractors Near Me - San Diego, California

I can't say enough about Matt and the folks at GW. We had a very sticky situation where code enforcement was called on us just a few weeks after moving into a new house. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Matt stepped in and saved the day. He walked us through what the process looked like moving forward and even went to the city with us...and didn't charge us! There was no high pressure sales tactics or concern that this wasn't a big, high dollar job. We could have still gone with a different company even at that point, but I couldn't imagine finding someone more trustworthy and genuinely invested in us personally. With their deep knowledge of the inner workings of government planning and permitting, you know that the work is being done right and above board. If you're looking for someone you can trust to do high quality work, I'd highly, highly recommend GW. read more

I had GW construction come over to give me a price for my back yard . Michael, the project manager was very knowledgeable and nice and we decided to go with them .

My wife and I highly recommend GW construction and our experience was wonderful from start to finish. We got several bids to add a 350 sq ft master suite (bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet) to our home in Bay Park. After meeting with several contractors, we decided to go with Matt from GW. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire project via text, phone calls, or in person. Gary, the owner, came by often to ensure the work was up to his high standards. We passed every inspection the first time. The final product is absolutely fantastic, our house feels great, and we are very very happy to have gone with GW construction. The pictures do not do the work justice and we'd be happy to personally show anyone that would like a visual reference. read more

I was looking for a general contractor that could help me with my home needs. Matt and Gary came by the same day on such a short notice. They looked at everything, and I mean everything. Explained the process in detail, and provided a bid the same day. Didn't have to wait for days, as other contractors never even got back to me. They started 2 weeks later with all of the materials on site. They competed the worm within the given time (8 days before to be precise) My house is beautiful!!!! The kitchen. And the new addition looks amazing!!!!!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use their services again in the near future. Thanks Matt and Gary. read more

GW remodeled and expanded our bathroom with great success. Working with Matt was impressive. His communications with us and his contractors was exceptional and on a daily basis. The work quality and finished product is all that we had hoped for and even above our expectations. We are very satisfied and look forward to more of their work on future projects.

Fantastic team at GW Construction! We were a bit nervous selecting a new contractor after a terrible experience with our previous one, but Matt and Jody made us immediately comfortable from the time they stepped into our house, and listened to our requirements and our concerns. Their advice and experience was also very valuable to us when having to make decisions across different options. Our project mostly consisted of windows replacement and expansion of our dining area with French Doors to a new patio, including built-in shelving and cabinets around the front window in our living room. We talked to them about a couple more projects as well, and Matt was very helpful when he broke down the quotes as we wanted to see them with the various build options we were considering. All along the process the best part with them, besides being very easy to get along with, was full transparency and clear communication, which is not always common based on our past experiences. The candor was mutual, and they were sure to be addressing our concerns extremely promptly. I cannot say enough great things about the team who did the work, in particular Gonzalo who had great attention to detail and who made sure we were happy with the results. Note that they also take very good care of the work areas and cleanliness is a priority. I will definitely recommend GW Construction to our friends and in our neighborhood. We have a couple more projects in mind which we already discussed with them, and I will not even think about selecting another contractor. read more

Matt was fantastic! He got a team out to retile my 1920's bathroom with marble tile very quickly. Everyone was polite and delivered exactly what I wanted. It came out beautifully! read more

Matt is amazing!! I wanted to put up a sunshade over my back patio and asked Matt to come by and give me a bid (no charge for consult!) He was 100% honest that he had never done this before but was totally willing to work with me. We had so much fun figuring it out and making it happen!! As you can see from the pictures, we were quite successful. Matt is a great human who is willing to help people in need. He is currently dedicating part of his day to help shop owners clean up after some recent destructive events. THANK YOU, MATT! read more

My fiancee and I were looking for a remodel and GW was one of the companies that we called. We met with Matt and I knew right away that this was the guy for the job. He listened to what we wanted, and explained what would need to be done. One guy from a different company came and told us what he was going to do, not what we wanted done, ya, no. So we talked price and what we wanted was out of our price range. We discussed the process with Matt and he found a way to get us everything we needed for the remodel. He really worked with us and the price, we were/are very grateful for that. When we spoke to Matt he listened first, and then explained everything. He was honest and upfront and made no promises that he couldn't deliver on. He knows his stuff and made us feel very comfortable. I'm not going to bore you with the details, but we signed a contract and set some dates. The project was finished a week early, which is awesome. After the contract was signed we wanted to add one more set of cabinets. Matt had no issues. He really did everything he could for us. We had his number and were able to talk to him about any concerns that we had at any time. His crew all knew their jobs and did them well. We never had any issues with them at the house. They were all very polite and worked well. Matt and his guys so impressed me that if I have ANY more work to be done, I will only go through him. I cannot express how much he worked with us on the price, and how he answered any and every question we had even on the weekend! If you have anyone else work on your house you will be doing yourself a disservice! read more

Review changed 9-2-16: The crew did do what was written on the contract, and did in fact do some jobs that were not in writing, such as capping a broken pipe near a gate they repaired. The reason for the four stars is because some promises that were given verbally, i.e., to have the construction debris removed, were not kept. I ended up having to haul a lot of old boards down the hill and then having to pay someone else to remove them and some other debris that was left behind. It was my fault for not being more businesslike. After I made the final payment there was some equipment left behind, so I thought that workers would be back to finish the clean-up. Sometime later when I tried to reach GW/Noli construction through their website and by phone and did not get a response, I felt very stupid. I realize there was no one to blame but myself. Since my original 3-star review I have received calls and visits from GW/Noli Construction personnel and have been told I would be reimbursed for the cost of having the construction debris hauled away; however, I explained that my purpose in writing a lower review was not to make anyone lose their job, but to let people who chose contractors based on Yelp reviews know they needed to exercise due diligence. Be smarter than I was: Get everything in writing, don't make the final payment until everything is completed, and be sure to check identification and license information. I wish I had followed the advice at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Consumers.aspx and had done more research. Sigh. Too soon old, too late smart. read more

GW Construction is about as good as you can get! We needed major work done on our back yard deck, and the whole house painted. From the beginning, with Steve and Al, they got the paperwork started. And the master carpenter, Gary did a fantastic job on wood work on deck and back part of the house. Painters, JR and Fostes under the direction of John, did the whole project in 1 1/2 days. We are most happy with the work. GE and BA read more

Gary and Matt are marvelous!!! They are doing exactly what they promised and more! Since we have come to know them we have relaxed and are extremely happy with their work. They are doing more than what they were contracted to do and are proving that they are experts at their craft. We feel blessed that we know them and that they are doing our job. Thank you Gary and Matt, we will use your company for any future work we have planned. Job well done!!! read more

Matt came out on father's day to give me an estimate, which I really appreciate. He was extremely helpful and gave me a very good idea of what my new kitchen will look like. While we were talking he even fixed my bedroom door that kept blowing open because it wouldn't shut. I'm very excited to get started on my new kitchen! read more

Matt was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Everything was explained until we understood what was happening with the process every step of the way. Our house and bathrooms exceeded our expectations. Matt was creative with design and actually saved us money. We couldn't be happier with our beautiful new home! I'd highly recommend Matt and his team. read more

Hired this company to do some work on my new location that will be open soon Called them out on Monday and came out the next day due to them being out of town. After having a great person to communicate with, the job started a few days later. The quality of work was awesome, crew was professional and polite and the hardwood looks beautiful! I will definitely hire them for all my future stores and my own house Thanks GW Consturction read more

GW Construction recently did an addition at our house that I am very pleased with. They remodeled both my bedroom and my bathroom! They reconstructed an amazing closet system that allowed for the ultimate use of my space. My bathroom now feels like a spa at a resort! I loved the suggestions that Matt made with me throughout the design process, he really incorporated my needs and offered great design choices overall. I had such a great experience as their customer, and will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to fulfill any remodeling or construction needs! read more

I needed to brighten up a room, so I was considering either a skylight or a window. Spoke to Matt for about 20 minutes - and after discussing logistics, permits, and costs, he said I'd get a bigger bang for less bucks by hiring SOMEONE ELSE to install a solar tube. Finally! An honest, caring contractor. Next project that comes along, Matt will be my first call. read more

We all know how hard it is to find a good construction and remodeling company but when it comes to GW i was very surprised of the passion behind their work. I am fully satisfied with my new kitchen and new bathroom that now looks like a mini version of a mansion inside my condo! Great work guys! read more

We had a warranty with them for our patio from the previous owner of our house. No where on the contract did it say there was no carry over from owners. We had a verbal contract via email stating that they guaranteed their work for 5 years. When I reached out to to GW the person who I spoke with made me feel like he was doing me a favor but upholding the warranty. I let him know that if there was any indication of them not upholding the warranty once the house changed owners we would have worked with the previous owner to have her fix it before we purchased the home as we were working very closely with her. The patio needed resealing from a job they had done previously. They came out and resealed it. After 2 months it is peeling again. I wouldn't let them come back to fix it again because I am skeptical of their knowledge of the work. We had this same issue at our previous home and had trouble finding a reputable company that was capable of fixing the issue. They may be good at some jobs but for the patio I suggest using Magnesite or a specialized company just for the patio. read more

GWCONSTRUCTION work is adequate. They follow the contract. They make sure you have paid as discussed. On time, however if they owe YOU money, forget it!!! Matt, the owner, owed me a refund for over payment. He acknowledged the discrepancy, that's the last time I spoke with him. He sent me a check, THAT BOUNCED!!!!!!! They promised a cashiers check, but I never saw it. Several calls they never accepted. Be careful of a company that is unethical and self serving.!!!! You may be next! read more

Matt took $13,850.00 as a deposit on a construction project from me more than 15 months ago, and never completed a set of plans or any work. Has anyone had a similar experience? thanks read more

Matt was so great to help with some "honey-do" stuff around my house. He gave some great advice too. And bonus - mask, gloves - the works. I have many more projects for this responsive, respectful company!! read more

So disappointed with this company. The yelp reviews were favorable and I saw one of my neighbors had contracted with them so I gave them a call. I needed several projects done from restoring/repairing patio and retaining wall and constructing a new fence. The initial phone contact was pleasant and they sent out 2 guys (Matt and another) to look at the jobs and provide a bid. Matt seemed more interested in his cell phone than my jobs. Every 2 minutes he was looking at his phone. It's good to be busy but very poor customer service. He spent about 25 minutes looking at the projects and told me he would provide a bid. Weeks later, no bid. I texted him requesting the bid and his response was that we would talk next week and set up an appointment for him to bring his computer and write it all down. He had his computer with him at our last meeting and to date, I've never heard back from him. read more

Incredibly poor communicators! If good communications is important, don't use these guys! I live in a condominium and explained that to their scheduler. He booked me for a call back the next day but no one called. This should have been my first clue on how bad this was going to get. The next day, no call to get an appointment with GW. I called them, he apologized and we set up for an appointment the following Tuesday. A half hour after the scheduled appointment, no one came so I called them. 2nd clue on what poor communicators they are. Talking to the scheduler again, he once more apologized but he stated the "appointment" was supposed to be for a call back by one of their estimators. I said that it was still poor form for someone not to at least call me at the appointed time. Once more an apology came out from him and that someone would get with me within the hour. Two and a half hours later, no call, no visit! Called GW back, he once again apologized. He asked for me to please wait for a call from their estimator. Several minutes later, a guy calls me and sounds angry and perturbed! He states that GW does not do HOA work. What a waste of my time! Do not understand the high star count! Be careful with this company! read more

This Company called me out of the blue claiming they spoke with me before and wanted to arrange an appointment to give me an estimate on work and landscaping. I inforrmed them I did not need their service, I have other contractors, to please remove my name from their list ie put me on your "DO NOT CALL" List and to please not call me anymore. They ignore my request and keep talking,. I had to hang up on them. Since then, they call me at least once a week telling me the same old line; " We spoke last week re. landscaping & other jobs and would like to set up an appointment" . I again informed them to stop calling me, take my name off your list. They continue talking until I hang up. They have phoned me at least 3-4 times since these 2 instances, and refuse to take my name off their list and continue trying to make an appointment. I hate Businesses like GW Construction who will not follow my REQUESTS to not call me anymore. In fact, after I ask them each phone call to not call me anymore, they continue talking, ignoring my request, telling me how reputable they are, similar to that review how they take advantage of Senior Citizens. Avoid this Company like the Plague! They will not take "NO!" for an answer. read more

Again, I will update this review once the work has been completed & I am sure I will then be awarding a 5 Star :) I met with the Owner and the Head of my project on Monday, May 5th and I am thrilled that our discussion was amicable and we made headway. The actual wall itself gets a lot of attention because it is so well constructed. I am now looking into the Iron gates and GW offered to research the cost with the Iron gate company they use to see if I'm being offered a good deal, which I very much appreciate, as they did not have to do this because I am purchasing the gates myself. I will definitely re-visit this page to give my overall assessment of the completed project. But I am happy that the company was prepared to meet with me and discuss my concerns. This goes a long way in my book. They really are trying to resolve anything outstanding, and that is all I can ask for. read more

The end results were great. I'm very happy with the two bathrooms. The job took much too long and there where bumps along the way. But all in all I have two great bathrooms. read more

The best construction company!! I needed some remodeling to a bathroom in my house. I did some research of my own to find different companies to contact. I felt that when I spoke with other companies it was as if they weren't there for the customers needs. When I spoke with GW, they were very attentive and make you feel as if you are part of their family. Matt came to give an estimate and I felt so comfortable and trusting in his hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He explained all the different aspects of the job and pricing. I knew that this was the right choice! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! read more

In the last big wind storm, my back fence blew down. Since I was leaving town in three days, I needed a new, wood fence installed quickly. Matt was able to come out, give estimate and a crew began work right away. The back fence was done enough so that my dogs/property were completely secure while I was gone. Upon my return, the crew came back and did last detail work. The prices are competitive and the work is of high quality. Very professional. Would highly recommend. read more

We recently relocated to San Diego and bought a fixer-upper which needed a new roof and windows. After collecting a few different bids we went with GW Construction. Throughout the project the manager was extremely communicative and made sure that the project moved forward on time and ON BUDGET! We are really pleased with the quality of work and customer service we received. We will definitely be inviting them back to work on remodeling projects in the future. read more

I usually don't go on sites to write review but this company deserves it They came out a few weeks ago to look at my windows and roof project I had in mind. I looked for months for a good, reputable and honest company to get the work. They quoted me a bit higher than the cheaper contractor but I decided to take the chance and do the work Guys showed up earlier than schedule, got the work done oj time and on budget with mo extras. Yes!!! NO EXTRAS!!! I would absolutely definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needs anything for their home Thanks GW constriction read more

Contacted GW construction to have my master bathroom remodeled as our house was very outdated. They came out and explained all the details to make sure I got what I wanted and I understood everything. It was very professional and pleasant. Took them no time to finish the actual remodel and everything was done by the contract so no surprises! I was very pleased with the overall work that was done and will most likely have them come back to remodel other parts of my home! read more
