Gallery has done both a master bath and a kitchen remodel in the last decade and both results were exceptional. In fact, both were completed during the summers when we were at our second home as we left just after signing off on the designs, projected cost, and construction schedules. I could not recommend a design and build contractor more fully and positively than I do this firm.

We are in the process of a big project with the Gayler team, touching pretty much every inch of an entire house. Therefore I am currently in contact with someone from Gayler Design Build several times a week.calls, in person visits/ meetings, my many long emails with lots of questions you get the picture. And each of those several times a week I continue to be blown away by how amazing George Gayler and his entire team are! I have rarely encountered such a responsive business, let alone anything related to construction which is notorious for poor communication and less than ideal timeliness

The best experience ever! We traveled allot during our first floor and kitchen remodel and felt completely comfortable having their team in our home while away. A couple of days prior to the start of the project they brought the team over to meet us so that we knew who was responsible for what and gave us the utmost confidence in their capabilities. Having access to a web site to see the project while we were gone was great too. Our project was completed one week ahead of schedule and under budget. What a delightful experience and I highly recommend these professionals at Gayler Design Build!

I'm sure Gayler has been great for others, but my experience was short-lived. On a phone consultation, I was quoted numbers after I described my ideas to add square footage and remodel. Seems odd anyone would throw numbers out there site unseen. I was really looking for someone to come see the property and within my budget, outline what's possible and share ideas of the work they could perform - whether it can all be done or perhaps only some portions of the home can be done due to the budget I have in hand. Instead, the seemingly nice woman changed her tact and let me know I'm not for them and
