Gaspar's Construction

They did a terrible job. Took an extra 3 months and for several weeks had no one there. Then they had to redo some of the work they screwed up and charged us extra. For things they screwed up.

Never sign anything with them.

Gaspar's may do quality work, but watch out for large bills for questionable and erroneous design work. I paid Gaspar's nearly $1,000 for design work before terminating the contract. All I had hoped to do was retile my fireplace and add a small hearth to it. At our first meeting, I specified a dark gray matte finish tile. One of their designers suggested that instead of tile they could use a slab of quartz. I said that would be fine as long as the finish was the same. They left. The next thing I received was an $870 bill for "design" and "feasibility." I was surprised, because I had not heard from

The woman I "worked" with at Gaspar's--Barbara--seemed genuinely uninterested in my business and disrespectful of my time. She scheduled an initial phone call with me in order to get un understanding of my project. Before the call she wanted me to send her a detailed email, with pictures, describing the work I was needing done--because in her words "as I know, she is very busy" and this will save time during our phone call (For the record, Barbara, no, I don't know that you are very busy because I'm a potential customer and I don't keep track of your personal schedule). I had several projects so

I used Gaspar's Handyman group to do a ceiling repair due to an upstairs leak. The quality of the work was fine, but the total cost approached 3x what they quoted me. Additionally, things got complicated with the scheduling after we agreed on a time. They actually then contacted me the day before trying to come that day - and these were repairs to a unit that I do not live in. I thought this was unprofessional. And when I did manage to arrange for them to come early (which was really inconvenient), but they had to arrive by a certain time that was agreed on, they didn't show.

We hired Gaspar's to complete a remodel of our 200 sq ft kitchen and we are beyond happy with the end result. Jen was our project manager and she really helped us focus on what problems we wanted to solve with our remodel, to be sure we had them all addressed, and so she knew exactly how to help us. She was honest with us to help us keep in touch with reality when it came to costs and timeline, which helped so much. Our designer, Margaret, came up with gorgeous plans to match what we had in our minds and she helped pick some finishes, while we already had some others in mind. When the

We could not be more thrilled with Gaspar's Construction. They were the epitome of professional, on time, and on budget. I hear nothing but horror stories from friends who are remodeling their kitchens. That is the exact opposite of our experience. The entire team took their time to get to know us and help us figure out our priorities. They listened and created a design that fit our life and our savings account. Once the project began, we were given daily updates by our on-site lead and we had weekly meetings to discuss status, changes, and challenges. All of the members of the team were quick

We could not be more thrilled with our remodel and with the entire experience we have had with Gaspar's. From our very first meeting, Sarah, Isaac, Tess, Lance and Huck have all been so professional, honest, and truly a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail was beyond my expectations, and their craftsmanship and pride in their work was enviable. They were on time and on budget, listened to all of our concerns, quirks, change orders and wishes. I would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking for a contractor for any size project, big or small! You won't be disappointed

We were given a quote for painting and they charged us double the initial quote. When confronted with the discrepancy, they failed to respond at all.

Can't believe I have to update this review, but nearly a year later, I'm still finding evidence of their sloppy work--this time an old dried paint bucket and cheap tools left in a window well behind foliage. God forbid they'd spend even a second longer to tidy up unless they had several meetings for Change Orders and Additional Costs Incurred.

This review is based on requesting a quote from Gaspar's for a basement remodel. Jen took the time to meet with us and promptly provided us with information regarding options and timelines. Overall, we were impressed with the care of Gaspar's cline outreach, we provided some feedback about what we valued and that was promptly taken into account in our subsequent interactions. Though we interacted well with the account manager, we had no idea who the onsite project manager was going to be so we felt less supported there. Unfortunately, the ballpark budget and large-ish company feel did

GASPARS systematically overcharges and is unethical. They receive a minus 2 stars.

They arrived 33 min late, yet started charging at 9:00am the scheduled start time. They required a $200 deposit on Visa before appt is even scheduled. 3 simple jobs (fixing a fence hinge, putting up shower curtain rod, recaulking a tub) required 5 hours of their time. They also said they charge for writing up the bill. total was over $550.

I appealed this on Visa, but because I unfortunately signed the front of their bill, not realizing the back of the bill has fine print I could not successful appeal on Visa

Update: Sarah Henry personally called to address the situation. I'm happy with the way she handled it and the resolution offered. Will use Gaspar's again.

Gaspar's bills for transit time to purchase replacement parts that they don't have on hand. I was okay with this until I discovered that the tech who handled my job billed for two hours she spent driving around town searching for a part that wasn't even stocked at the stores she checked.

If replacement parts are necessary to complete a job, one would hope the tech knows exactly what they are and where they can

If it was possible to rate lower, we would. I've used the handyman service for both my home and business.

First home. I paid $800 plus dollars to have a barn door slider installed in my home. Very expensive considering the scope of the work but okay. 2 months later it was falling off the wall. Literally. When the handyman came back to repair his original work he accused is of being too rough with the opening/closing. The hardware is rated for use on barns with heavy duty usage. I'm 100%certain that we weren't being too aggressive and I'm 100% certain this man has zero customer

I am a big fan of Gaspar. My experience has been entirely with the handyman services department. Ted who was the office guy for the handyman dept was awesome and he transitioned to Erica when he was promoted. While the hourly rate of $85.00 per hour is a little on the high side for handymen my experience has been it is more than fair for light carpentry, patching, light painting, working on leaks, diagnosis of leaks, etc. I cant say enough bout Reed Hanberg. If you can get him for the handyman work all will go smoothly. My wife and I love Reed. He is great with our dogs, he is tidy with his work

Stopped in to inquire about services and five guys were inside unable to put together an ikea cabinet. After waiting around for help I decided to take my business to a competent business instead. Hard pass.

I hired them to clean a deck. The price was extremely high for cleaning services and the results were very poor. Polite but not anywhere close to a good job or a good value. Includes 2 extra stars for courtesy. See the photo.

Wow, I'm surprised to see other reviews on here. I actually created a Yelp account specifically to sing their praises. My entire experience from start to finish was exceptional. We were in the process of buying our first home and were at our wit's end with our lender and our seller. Our lender gave us two days notice to get a railing installed per the appraiser's inspection. We called 15+ contractors and no one had time for us or would take such a small job. I called Gaspar's on a Wednesday night at 4:45pm. Sarah had a contractor confirmed to go out Thursday morning at

I had Gaspar's out to demo old mailboxes and install new ones for our townhouse complex. It was difficult to find someone to do this work as it involved a small concrete pad, but Gaspar's was more than willing.

Every experience, from scheduling with Ted to the to the actual installation with Ken was friendly, positive and productive. Gaspar's complete focus was on the quality of their work and the customer experience. Ken did things the right way, and watching him I knew why I had hired someone to do the job. This was a time and materials job, but Ken worked efficiently, the

We had a terrible experience with Gaspar's- please don't use them for your project! The website looked good and the office was nice, and they were all smiles and nods in discussing our project and budget. They came to the house so we could sign the contract, and the saleswoman went around the house and smiled and nodded as we signed the dotted line next to our budget and handed over a deposit check. After the architect and contractor made an initial visit, we received a phone call to say that it could come in up to $150K over our budget. They were unable to give any specifics on an estimate
