Exceptional Craftsmanship & Thoughtful Design
I began working with Gilday after the plaster ceiling in an upstairs bedroom of my 100-year-old house crashed to the floor. They took most of that floor down to the joists and made sure that the innards of the space were strong and level, and that I had electrical work that met modern standards. They also created a beautiful bedroom with a custom accent wall designed to display art.
Gilday redid my front porch and some crumbling concrete steps. They replaced my old front door with a gorgeous mahogany door in a style consistent with the neighborhood of craftsman houses. They dealt with the special permissions needed for a historical district.
Two projects were especially demanding and creative. Gilday architect Don Keppler worked with me to replace rotting wood surrounding garden beds in my back garden with custom designed corten steel tubing. He also designed a bespoke screen of powder-coated aluminum to shield one side of my deck from the neighbor on that side. It is not only functional to give me privacy, but it is a beautiful work of art.
Mike Kisner, who coordinated much of the work, was always available to answer questions, discuss ideas, and let us know what to expect when. He is efficient but generous with his time. He always had patience when I had difficulty deciding on an option and helped me think things through.
The office was easy to deal with. The crews were cheerful and admirably concerned to do their best work. Kevin Gilday, as he promised at the outset, made certain that I was satisfied with what was done. I never hesitated to ask for their help if I needed it.
I am very happy with the work the Gilday has done.

Repeat Customer

Dream Kitchen Realized
The kitchen project was a complete redesign & included the removal of a supporting wall. Then I made the decision to expand the project to also include hardwood floor installation on 1 complete level of my townhome, extensive painting, and a powder room renovation. All were coordinated by Gilday and completed beautifully.
Their process is thorough and allows for collaboration, options, and compromise. No project is without it's challenges. What's most impressive about Gilday is that they anticipate issues, offer solutions, & take responsibility for resolution. They are fair and operate their business with the highest integrity. I would use them again without hesitation.

Amazing Workmanship

Saving Christmas for a repeat customer
Over the past 11 years, we've used Gilday for two major projects -- refinishing our basement and renovating our hall bath -- as well as for numerous smaller projects.
Most memorably, Gilday repaired the damage when our 70-year-old living room ceiling suddenly and inexplicably collapsed on Christmas morning, earning my eternal gratitude when one of their employees came over that morning to secure the room.
Gilday's work is meticulous, and they stand by it long after it's done.
Their designs are clever in the way they adapt old spaces to meet modern needs.
Their employees are not only highly skilled but nice too, especially important given that they can spend all day in your house for weeks.
We'll use Gilday again when we have another project. They're just the best.
