Gilgen Handyman Service is a quality service. I had a new deck built for the front porch of my 115 year old farm house. We had a little trouble scheduling the start, due to his busy schedule, however I am so pleased that I waited as the final product was very high quality. The final cost was slightly higher than the estimate because once the old surface was removed there was more rot in the substructure than we originally thought. I have no doubt that the final structure will last 100 plus years and it looks beautiful! Mike was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely be using his company again & again.

Details: Deck, porch, or balcony • Replacement of portions of existing structure • Residential

Mike Gilgen Handyman and Construction With Gilgen Handyman and Construction you are guaranteed to meet a down-to-earth and likable contractor. He listened to my needs and wants while mapping out the design..The following day, after the initial meeting, I was provided with an estimate of the project cost and a start date. On the start date, the crew arrived on time, were friendly and got right to work. When I asked Mike ,(Gilgen Handyman and Construction), about the time duration he estimated three days which was hard to believe. However, by the end of the third day my backyard had been transformed. It went from needing a lot of work to a backyard oasis.The design was enormous, beautiful and well crafted. The sections of concrete that were poured were thick and precise.I am extremely satisfied with the crews workmanship , effort and expertise. This home project was significant in size requiring 36 yards of cement.The crew began with 5 workers for demolition, removal and form setting. On the third day well over ten more workers arrived.Within a few hours my backyard had been transformed. I am thrilled and amazed with the completed project. Can't want until the next project with Gilgen Handyman and Construction. I definitely will refer others to this contractor.

Details: Pour new concrete • Patio or porch • Driveway • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Home
