We were very satisfied with our latest (second) experience with Gikas. Our Project manager Ilkan was extremely concientious and even reached out several weeks after completion to complete a minor follow up request.
Enjoyed working with Alex on our recent exterior house painting and repair project. Excellent communication and craftsmanship. George is a legend and he knows all of the houses in town. Fair price and prompt service.
