We loved working with Gil and his team over at Goias Home Improvement! Gil was super responsive when I had initially reached out about refinishing all the floors throughout our whole house, and helpful with any questions I had during the process. Didn't feel at all like he was taking advantage of us, or upselling anything that wasn't needed. His team was always on time and courteous during their time at the house, and did such an amazing job on all the floors. Would 100 percent recommend them to anyone else, and would love to work with them again on future home improvement projects.

It was a pleasure working with Gil. He and his team were professional and focused on the task at hand. They completely replaced my front and back deck with attention to all details. I have recommended them to my family and friends.

Doing business with Gil was a pleasure. Had two exterior wooden stairways remodeled with composite decking and vinyl railing. Gil and his team did a great job were very responsive and courteous throughout the whole process. Great customer service! Turnaround time from start to finish was as expected! Would definitely use his services again!

Gil was very responsive and professional. The job involved installing a glass sliding shower door. The price was fair, and the job was completed on time. The young gentleman who did the work, Manny, did a great job and left everything immaculate. I was very satisfied with the job and would definitely use these folks again.
