The "service" rep even forges your authorization signature on his iPad. The old owner handed over all customer credit card information to the new owner, so the new owners will charge your credit card even if you don't provide them credit card info and even if you decline to purchase (assuming you've used Thomas Giel in the past). New ownership is a firm called Gridiron Capital / GarageCo from the New York area. Not a Pittsburgh company. Candice Giel kept a small minority of the business, she does not control it. Services

Unfortunately at that time we weren't ready to move forward with the project. Fast forward to now. I had reached back out, Mike had double checked the measurements and provided and updated quote. We had the door ordered and once it arrived we had the installation scheduled. The installation team was great they communicated their estimated arrival and did a thorough job installing the new door. They also walked through features of the opener and how to sync to the keypad.

I had had to remove a door…read morefrom its frame to get a new washer into my laundry room, but underestimated how difficult it would be to line up to reinstall. I also needed some help getting a new wind stop/chain installed on a swinging screen door in the basement. They were the only service I reached out to who asked for specific details about the jobs before providing a quote, which is a great way to do business. They also provided a real time of expected arrival instead of something like a four-hour window taking up your entire day. They arrived a little before the time quoted with two people - one the main handyman and one being trained. They did a prompt and excellent job and the cost was very fair. I almost don't want to tell everyone how good they are because then they'll become too busy, ha! They truly deserve your business.

We initially contacted them about a tricky job -- recreating and installing a crucial part of our now-discontinued bed that was lost during a move -- and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Since then, we've worked with them on home repairs and appliance installations and it's been a delight every time.

Vohidjon was my initial contact. We exchanged information, photos and scheduled the work via phone…read more His English is good. At the last minute, he informed me that his brother was coming. However, he did not speak any English. How disappointing! I probably should have stopped there, but I didn't and I regretted it. It was too hard to communicate even the most simple words. We had to use a translator app which takes away from the time I'm paying for. I believe if you're going to charge $50 an hour, and the state minimum is $7.50, you should speak English. If you don't, you need someone with you that does. I had a series of tasks and every conversation required the app. The performance was excellent for some tasks and others were a bit disappointing. I was trying to patch some holes in the wall in the paint did not match exactly. He painted all the holes instead of just doing a small part and getting my approval before moving forward. Maybe we lost something in translation there. Now I have uneven colors and I'll have to cover with a painting. I'm giving it 3 stars because I feel that announcing that the worker does not speak English should be business practice for transparency. A paying customer deserves that. I paid them in full and made my comments known. If you only have one task, perhaps a translation app is okay. In my case, we had several and the constant need to record and play made it for a long afternoon.
