What an amazing experience working with Gikas on renovating our kitchen, and more specifically our project manager Manny! Being that this was our first home renovation, we naturally had a lot of questions and needed some guidance. Manny was always available for a text or a call for any questions or advice. We had a hard finish timeline that we communicated to Manny, and even with some delivery delays, he kept true to his word and got it done when he said he would. His crew was here right on time every single morning, they were respectful and always cleaned up after themselves. Their pricing was very fair and the quality of the finished project was beyond what we had hoped.If youre considering hiring Gikas for a project, let me save you some time and energy and tell you to call them and ask for Manny!!

We had Alex and his crew demo and drywall a bedroom ceiling, paint the walls and do some ceiling and trim work in our kitchen.The crew was fantastic, they were polite, friendly and extremely talented.Demoing a plaster ceiling is messy work and they did their best to keep the dust and debris from spreading all over the house. Every day they put up plastic and covered our stairs with a drop cloth. The kitchen ceiling needed paint and plaster patching. Mike was meticulous with his prep work and putting up plastic to keep the dust from getting out.The Bedroom is looking great, all back in order with a great coat of paint. The real improvement was in our kitchen where a previous contractor had done some mediocre ceiling and trim work. Mike quietly worked his magic, the trim looks perfect and the ceiling is patched and painted, even better than new.Alex checked in with us every day and in 3 short days they were done and have moved on! I think their prices are on par with the quality work they provide and I wouldnt hesitate to use them again.

Were super happy with the work the Gikas Team did. Alex was professional and responsive throughout the process. Communication was seamless and the job was stress-free. The team was meticulous, prepped everything properly.What stood out most was how clean they kept the house during the process—they treated my home with respect and left no mess behind. Their attention to detail was outstanding.I’d highly recommend Alex and his team to anyone looking for top-notch painting.

We live in Montclair NJ - those of you that are familiar with Montclair are aware that the homes are “old”; our’s is one of those homes.So painting could be a challenge, Gikas Alex and his team made this update to our home easy and seamless. Alex offered insight into colour choice with expertise and humour to the situation.The team went as far as to make accommodations for our special needs adult son while painting his bedroom.Thank you Alex and team , it was a pleasure to work with all of you.Happy Holidays.

My first time working with Gikas, got off to a bumpy start as there was a sudden change in personnel. However, once connected with Alex, our full roof replacement and exterior painting went very well and we were very satisfied with the results. The crews were friendly, professional, and Gikas offered a very reasonable rate for the high quality of work. Alex in particular was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend!

Gikas Painting & Contracting is a rare company. Id even go so far as to call them unusual in this day and age: they combine the highest quality work with the most amazing customer service. I had just returned to my home after living abroad for almost a decade, and a home inspector I hired told me I needed a new roof and a new paint job. I called Gikas -- because I have known the company and their excellent reputation for years. George came right away, and he reassured me that the roof would be good for another 10 to 15 years and the paint job probably another 5 years. (Imagine a company telling you that you DONT need to hire them right away for major work? I was so relieved I wanted to hug him.) Still I decided to have the front porch painted and the porch ceiling/roof checked out. (For a very fair price.) It was surely a small project for them, but they treated it as if I had asked them to renovate Notre Dame cathedral. Immediately, Alex, the project manager, was on the job looking to set up a start date right away and also coordinating with the Gikas roofing guy (sorry I forgot his name) to investigate an issue with the porch ceiling. (Imagine a company practically nudging you to start the work rather than ghosting you or giving you some vague start date depending on their schedule?) This guy Alex is amazing: organized, efficient, responsive, attentive. (Gikas, you dont pay him enough!) He was on site every day and coordinated well with the paint crew, who were also excellent: highly skilled, tidy, and friendly. Needless to say, I was super pleased with the work they did. A final note about customer service. Alex told me they would return a few days after the job was finished (so the paint on the floor could cure) and put the porch furniture back on the porch. (Honestly, I wasnt sure whether to believe they would really return.) Sure enough, they came back and brought all the porch furniture back onto the porch and arranged everything nicely AFTER I had already paid. (Imagine a company following through after they have been paid in full?) And when I mentioned to Alex in a text a few days after that that an ancient coil spring on the screen door seemed to have been broken, he personally came back to see about it. In sum, if you imagine working with contractors who are honest, professional, excellent at what they do, and peerless in customer service, look no further than Gikas Painting & Contracting. A rare gem of a company. (Final shout-out to Peggy in the office. She, too, is efficient and responsive and answers every question with grace and a great sense of humor.)

It’s the second time I have worked with Gikas painting. I love working with this company. They are so flexible with timing, great with payment options and very reliable regarding getting the job done promptly. Likewise, the quality of their work is outstanding. They painted my house and spent lots of time sanding and caulking beforehand. I am very confident that they sealed the siding as well as possible against moisture intrusion, and then followed with a complete job of sanding and priming. Alex was a delight to work with as the project manager, and had very good and reliable communication and oversight. Alfonso and Diego were an excellent and courteous team of painters. They spent a lot of time detailing their work to make sure we had a high quality job, and were very sensitive to keeping things clean, and caring for our property. I would gladly use them again. Thank you.

Alex and his team were exceptional to work with! Their price was right on target. We had them put in chair rails and crown molding throughout our home. And then painted our house tip to tail. We had some moving constraints and asked if they could move faster than anticipated. Alex was wonderful and magically finished a few days early. They were exceptional to work with!

Such a professional crew! I had kitchen cabinets repainted aiming for a more updated look. I was apprehensive of how well the paint job will come out and I certainly did not want a “home made look”. Well, the results are stunning, I love how the paint job turned out! The crew was very clean and experienced. Alex, the supervisor on the job kept in constant contact with me, which I really appreciated it. Stopped by every morning to go over things etc. They showed when they say they would or updated me otherwise. I’m very pleased.

We use Gikas for all our painting and carpentry. They have painted the exterior and interior of our home. We recently used them on our sons condo for painting and refinishing of the floors. Alex and his team were true professionals. They were patient and made recommendations on paint choices. They cleaned up after each day and provided daily updates on their progress.Their customer service, work ethic, and product is top notch.Thanks Alex and Team!

We have worked with Gikas for years and have always been extremely happy with the results and the experience every step of the way. They renovated our front porch and it turned out even better than my original vision. The latest major project was an exterior paint of the house which required sanding down to bare wood and replacing many wood boards. It took weeks and the end result is gorgeous.They helped us with understanding paint colors and were very patient with all of our questions. One of the best parts of working with Gikas in my opinion is having Alex on hand to troubleshoot and problem solve. He is such a pleasure to work with and a gives me peace of mind knowing if we are not happy he will work to find a resolution. Another important component of any renovation is the crew that is at your house. I have to say I have always been pleased with the professionalism, knowledge and courtesy of the Gikas crew. They clean up every day and treat our property very well. That may sounds like a given but we have had some horrible experiences with other companies and not felt comfortable with who was here. Living in an older home you will inevitably come upon surprises and not the good kind when doing a home renovation project. We have found Gikas to be excellent at pivoting and working with us to explain what they have found and what our options are moving forward.

Gikas did a great job with my home. Alex was efficient and knowledgeable. He was responsive to my questions and he was very helpful with choosing the right shades and color for my center hall Dutch colonial. My house was yellow for so long that I was nervous about a totally different color. He definitely knows his profession. Alex reassured me of my selection and now my house is gorgeous. I would highly recommend Alex and the staff at Gikas.

We had our 1902 Victorian house painted by the Gikas crew. Alex and Christina were extremely helpful in managing the project and helping us decide on color choices and repairs which needed to be done. The painting crew was reliable, responsive and hard working. We were very pleased with the final result and we would recommend Gikas Painting.

I had a great experience working with Alex! Extremely professional and friendly. He was very responsive and fully understood my project needs and deadline for my project. He supervised the completion of my deck project (sanding, power wash, minor repairs and paint). His crew was also a dream to work with. They did an excellent job and I was very pleased with the results. Lastly, Peggy at the main office is absolutely fabulous! Such a pleasure working with Peggy!!! Great team producing outstanding quality.

My house is 123 years old and I sought recommendations from neighbors and contractors to identify a company with carpenters and painters who know how to treat the nooks and crannies of an old house. Not every contractor knows how to do this. So I chose Gikas Painting & Contracting.Alex kept to the budget and the schedule. Punchlist items were handled with dispatch. I have no complaints -- only praise.

George was was great, trustworthy and followed all requirements for town permits. crew did professional restoration of my porch foundation on my 100 year old home. Leveled the floor too.

That’s what matters:) Thank you GPC!!

Excellent Service and Detail!I recently hired Alex and his team to power wash, sand and stain my large wooden deck, and I couldnt be more pleased with their service. Alex was very punctual and excellent with communications throughout the entire process. The painters arrived on time every day and carefully removed all my furniture from the deck before starting their work. They power washed and painted the deck over the course of the week with great attention to detail. Alex regularly checked in to ensure everything was progressing according to plan. Even after the project was completed, I discovered some minor issues, and they promptly came back to fix them without any hassle. I highly recommend Alex and his team for their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction.

Review 19 (2024-07-22 - Rating: 5)
Alex and team did a great job. The company provided a few different services for this job: exterior painting, add new railing to front and new downspouts that had become damaged over the years. Everyone was great and could not be happier with the results. Alex contacted me everyday to see how things were going and also provide great ideas along the way. He helped make everything run very smoothly. George was very responsive during the process to determine which company I would use at the start and very knowledgeable. I will definitely be using them again.

Review 20 (2024-06-18 - Rating: 5)
George gave us the estimate for exterior house painting and repairs after telling us we didnt need complete painting job only a refresh. That consisted of 2 coats of primer and final coat as well as repairs. Alex was supervisor of the job and he was always responsive and helpful with all issues. Luis and his crew did the hard work consistently and well done in good time. We were very pleased with the results. Thank you Gikas!

I find Gikas (George, Alex and work crew) to be attentive, responsive (respond in a timely manner, provide clear information, friendly and cooperative attitude), professional. Alex, my project manager, was on time at work site, good listener, open in sharing information and ideas and communicating with work crew. Work crew was respectful, attentive to details, complete, clean up after themselves and did generally excellent work.

Review 22 (2023-06-03 - Rating: 5)
Top notch painting and service! Niko was our project manager and was there every step of the way, helping to guide us from selecting the paint color, to all the details of the project. Once we selected the color, the painting itself was relatively quick, the only delays we had were due to weather. Gikas team did a nice job cleaning everything up when finished, and even returned for a couple of minor touch ups to make sure everything was perfect. We love our paint color (Stormy Sky - a dark gray with blue undertone) and have gotten many compliments from neighbors on the new look of the house!

Review 23 (2020-06-26 - Rating: 5)
Overall: Gikas will give the outside of your home what it needs. That means what the house needs, which is not always the same as what you want to do or what a contractor would love you to pay for.We did a complete exterior renovation with Gikas. This included extensive carpentry work as the home has been horribly mistreated over the last 60 years or so. The before and after dont really do it justice—window sills and decorative elements had been smashed off to make way for awful yellow aluminum siding that ruined the exterior proportions and angles. We took off all the siding and took it back to square one. While replacing all the decorative elements would have been far too expensive, I feel like we did right by the house. Alex acted as the foreman for the project, and George the owner of the company would stop by from time to time.Two things stood out for me. 1) The attention that went into making the new carpentry match the existing (115 years old). They did this by using salvaged lumber, which comes in dimensions you cant get anymore, and by applying their extensive experience with homes of the period. They have a couple of carpenters who are really talented, particularly when it comes to building porches. One of them replicated all the pieces of a round porch column using a miter saw, and it was a sight to behold.2) Alex was very responsive and communicative, which is a nice change from many contractors, who disappear on you. We did the project in the winter (good timing) to make the home ready for sale. Even with weather uncertainty we were able to finish most of the work shortly before COVID hit, and then there were just a few touchups, which could be completed with social distancing. The communication and scheduling was key to completing on time.3) I solicited multiple bids and ultimately Gikas gave me a little more value, throwing in some badly needed porch repairs that make a big difference in the homes overall look. With any construction project, there are cost overruns, but they did it on the agreed-upon budget (I added on a new back porch that wasnt originally in the scope, and some additional shingled areas, which amounted to about a 3% increase in the overall budget). That made me feel good in the end about selecting Gikas.

We just had Gikas paint our house. They did a beautiful, neat job. It was done promptly, especially considering the weather this spring. The workers were pleasant and easy to have around . I coordinated the work and arrangements with Alex and he was great to work with. This is the second time they have done our house and I strongly recommend them.

We had Gikas paint the exterior of our house and do some carpentry repairs. The price was very competitive and the work was great. The crew did excellent work.

Gikas just finished exterior and interior work for our new house built in the 1800s. The house had been neglected and needed a lot of work. George gave us some great ideas and quoted us a fair price for the work needed. Alex did a wonderful job managing all the moving parts of the project and making sure that our concerns were taken care of along the way. He was very responsive and I always felt like he was listening and cared about our needs. We ended up very happy with the final product.

We couldn’t be happier with the way our house painting project turned out. Every part of the process was easy and the team was committed to making sure we were happy with every aspect. Anything we 100% satisfied with they did over again until we were. The result is perfection. Aside from the work quality, the team is super easy to work with. The foreman, Alex, is professional and an expert on what works or not; he’ll steer you in the right direction at every turn. The lead painter, Carlos, was super professional and even helped me improve my Spanish! We’re very happy that we chose Gikas.

We recently had the exterior of our home painted and chose Gikas for the project. In addition to painting, we had masonry and carpentry work done. What a positive experience it turned out to be! Our 90 year old English tudor needed extensive work. The men who worked on our house were exceptional. They completed all of the work in a timely manner, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. They were affable, courteous, and meticulous in cleaning up every single day. Niko, the manager who assisted us, was professional and always a phone call away. He came by every day to monitor the progress being made and included us on every decision. We received numerous compliments from neighbors and passers-by. We’ve since recommended Gikas to several friends in the neighborhood and would certainly use them for future projects. We are thrilled with the outcome!

We had a great experience with Gikas painting. They were professional, friendly, and reliable throughout. George walked around our century-old house with us, was precise about which boards needed replacing, how they would strip & lead-mitigate, even a few good landscaping ideas. The bid was less than we expected for all that work! Alex led the crew, helped us pick colors, kept us posted on progress, and was a very cheerful presence. He came back to insist on touch-ups. Gikas even built a new window box for us, perfectly matching an existing box. Very satisfied & recommend.

I highly recommend Gikas and team if you need contracting and painting work. My house is 100 years old and I needed my 3 bedrooms updated to fix wall imperfections, add recessed lighting, sheetrock, floor refinish, extend a closet and paint.Gikas was the first company I called..After dealing with Luis to give me my estimate and explained the work needed I felt I didn’t need to shop around for other estimates. Luis was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, understood my wants and put the project in motion. He followed through on his appointments and updated me every step of the way. The great experience I had with Luis I was nervous about the hand off to the project manager to start my job.After meeting Alex, he was friendly, knowledgeable, organized and he coordinated my project exceptionally!!! I was in great hands until the project was completed. It was completed on time, great price, and the quality of work is outstanding!!!I am completely satisfied with my experience from beginning to end with Luis, Alex and the entire Gikas team !!! I will definitely be hiring them for my next project! Thank you Gikas team again for all your help!!!

We could not be happier with our decision to go with Gikas. George truly understands the history and beauty of the homes in our town, and made wonderful recommendations to restore and accent details of our home, we would not have thought to highlight and update.

Highly recommend based on our experience. 👍

Overall, great experience with Gikas painting! Had contracted them out to paint our home and noticed some trouble spots (peeling) after about a year. Not only did they honor their warranty, but the service was the same great experience from the first time around. Make sure to ask for Alex, he knew exactly what needed to be done and was extremely responsive and professional through each interaction. Big credit goes out to the crew as well, they did an amazing job and always leave the job site clean.

We hired Gikas to paint and do some carpentry at our home. The whole crew from Gikas was great, but the supervisor Alex deserves special recognition. Alexs communication and attention to detail make me confident to not only hire Gikas again, but also to recommend them to anyone else needing painting or carpentry as well.

We recently had an excellent experience with Alex and team at Gikas, who repaired and painted our front porch as well as our garage doors. After inquiring about a quote via their website I quickly received an email from George, who promptly came out for an estimate. Once we hired them, George connected me with Alex who managed the project from start to finish and did an excellent job of communicating with us at every turn to ensure we were satisfied.

Alex is so good for our house external painting! Very professional and high level of aesthetics. At first, we chose a main color with help of Alex and we thought it looks so good after 1st layer of painting. He suggested to add other color for the triangle of my house and it will make it more attractive. Sorry Alex, we had doubts on your advice before. It really makes more attractive after adding the color. We love it. Please trust Alex! He is the best!

Wife and I were VERY happy with the work Hernane and his crew did. They exceeded our expectations. We asked them to rehab our 100 year old porch and paint the house. The prep work they did really showed that they were invested in the final product as well. Hernane was great to work with... communicated well, and didnt make us feel like he was rushing us. Thanks for the great work!

We used Gikas to paint our first floor and basement recently. They did an excellent job from start to finish. First they came to our home & gave us an estimate for the work. The women who came was kid, honest, professional, knowledgeable, & thoughtful. She gave us some recommendations that we appreciated & used & they turned out to be great. The workers/painters worked extremely hard, covering & draping everything very professionally so there were no accidents. We could not have been more pleased with their work. We would definitely use them again in the future as our experience was more than pleasant from start to finish.

2nd time weve used them to paint house exterior. The paint job is top quality. Appreciated advice and good cheer from crew supervisor Alex, whose knowledge of different products was helpful, but who was also willing to check out a priming product he wasnt familiar with. Crew Luis and Letticia were efficient, friendly & responsive. If this paint jobs lasts as long as the last one, well see them in 2034! Thanks Gikas!

Gikas did a terrific job painting the exterior of our house. The estimate was clear and fair. The crew worked hard and cleaned up well each day. The carpenters did a great job rebuilding our fence. Alex, the foreman, was very responsive to our concerns and was a helpful advisor on all sorts of issues such as paint colors and finishes, and lumber suppliers. We are very satisfied with the results.

I own an old Victorian that needed the porch rebuilt, the Yankee gutters rehabbed and the house fully scrapped and repainted. The work needed was extensive and there was a lot of wood rot that needed to be replaced. After multiple estimates I settled on Gikas since they were highly recommended in my neighborhood. I’m so happy with the detail and care that went into my project, especially the carpentry team (I think the crew that worked on my house were brothers). They managed to keep or recreate details that were very neglected/rotting for years and it looks beautiful. Gikas was a little expensive for us but fully worth it.It’s been a year since the work was done and my Yankee gutters had a leak (Yankee gutters are a lot of work and sometime work needs to settle so I knew they might have to come back). Gikas made sure to reseal sections that were leaking. At this time I also had them do my floors (I think it’s a Brazilian father and son team, very fun/nice guys) and the floors are gorgeous and shockingly quick! Only 2 days for a room that needed lots of boards replaced/moved, finished and stained.My last note is about Alex, the manager who was on my most recent projects, is a fantastic guy. He walked me through the projects and was true to his word on timing. I really appreciate how much he communicated with me on updates and scheduling. There was a point where I was getting frustrated but Gikas assigned Alex to my project and he completely turned things around and I couldn’t be happier with Gikas.

I read that seagrass wallpaper can be tricky to hang, so I was nervous about finding someone who knew what they were doing. Gikas had priced a painting project earlier in the year, Alex was nice, patient and helpful, (I stupidly went with another company at a slightly lower price and got what I paid for, I didn’t want to make the same mistake again) so I reached out to him about wallpapering my living room with the Phillip Jeffries seagrass paper we fell in love with.Dealing with Alex was very easy, he assured me that Flavio was the man to get the job done — well. And he did. He prepped the walls, spackled holes, smoothed out bumps and primed, came back to paper the next day and finished a little after lunch. We’re beyond pleased with the final result and enjoyed working with both Alex and Flavio, and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.

We had a wonderful experience utilizing Gikas’ services for work performed both in and outside of our home, including indoor and outdoor hand-railing installations, painting a bedroom, replacing our back patio’s top step, etc. Alex was the best foreman we could have ever asked for! Apart from being a true professional, Alex is super friendly and knowledgeable. He ran all of the projects efficiently and provided us with great communication, keeping us informed of the happenings throughout the process and making sure that we were happy with the progress being made. When he needed our input on styles, etc., he reached out with great options. We were super happy with the prioritization of the work and the coordination that Alex provided. We are already planning on some future projects and will definitely go with Gikas!

The exterior of my house was really in need to be painted. George was the only one to get back to me and came over to do a survey and provide an estimate. The price was about what I expected and I hired Gikas to do the job. In less than a month my house now looks 100 percent better. The guys were efficient and even worked on Labor Day. The project manager Alex stopped over every day to make sure things were going the way they were supposed to. He would always answer any questions that I had. A very good experience and I would use them again for other projects that I need done.

This is the second time we’ve used Gikas to paint the outside of our building. Alex and his crew did a fantastic job. They were courteous and very professional from the beginning of the project to its conclusion. Alex reassured me of my concerns when I thought the roof would not blend in with the colors I’d chosen. I am pleased with the project.

Gikas Painting painted our house, took down and removed our old deck and built a new one. We were very impressed with the quality of their work, and the fact that they started and finished the work when they promised to. Every member of their crew did an excellent job. George was very helpful in initiating the project. Alex explained what would be done very clearly and advised us what type of stain to use and when. He was very helpful and pleasant. We would highly recommend Gikas Painting, and will use them for any future work we need done.

I recently used Gikas to replace my roof, paint the exterior of my house and do some interior painting and carpentry. Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend them. They were always on time, showed up when they said they would, did quality work and always cleaned up after themselves. Tony and Alex were the foremen for the different jobs and both of them were extremely responsive, friendly and overall great to work with. George, the owner was also very helpful and great to work with.

Gikas recently painted the exterior of my house, replaced the gutters and performed needed restoration repairs. We are extremely happy with the result. Took a while to get on the schedule but once we were, the work was completed quickly and professionally. Special thanks to Alex the project manager - excellent communication and managing the details of the work. Also, thanks to Peggy in the office for getting the job scheduled. All crews were professional, did a great job and kept a clean worksite. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

Gikas did a great job painting the exterior of our house and installing new gutters. Our project supervisor, Alex, was a terrific help to us. He consulted with us on color choice, helping us to determine the exact color that we wanted. Alex was very responsive throughout the process, always answering questions quickly and thoroughly as well as offering sage professional advice. Hes also very easy to talk with. During the painting process, we had windows installed by another company and Gikas paused painting for several weeks in order for the windows to be completed. We really appreciated their flexibility on this and other issues that arose. The painting crew was responsive and professional. We had not originally planned to use Gikas for gutter replacement, but we were so pleased with the painting process that we decided to hire them for that work as well. We had been a little worried that Gikas had gotten so large and popular that they would not be responsive, but that was not our experience at all. We will definitely consider them for other home improvement projects in the future.

Niko and his team at Gikas did a great job of doing a full paint of all my walls and refinishing all my hardwood floors and stair cases. Job was done on time and everything was clean at completion. I was kept up to date throughout the process. Townhouse looks like new. I would recommend and plan to use Gikas again.

We had a great experience working with Gikas! We had the interior of our entire house painted - the price was very reasonable and the work is exceptional. The painters arrived early every morning and stayed until 6pm most days - work was done on time and our project manager, Alex was very responsive and great to work with. We look forward to working with them on future projects.

Gikas Painting & Contracting painted the exterior of our center colonial house transforming our very tired 100+ year property into a brand new home. The window frames were repaired, some window panes were inserted, and the gutters were replaced. George provided the much needed guidance to improve our home including a new entryway and stoop paved with bluestone. The manager, Alex, was highly professional and helped me narrow down and select the right paint colors. The paint crew led by Luis were all punctual, polite and highly efficient. The masonry work by Tony and his team is second to none. Home improvements can be daunting but with George, Alex, Tony and the rest of the team, its a breeze and the results are astounding. We’re so pleased with Gikas workmanship and professionalism that we’re moving onto the next few house projects with the same team!

Working with the entire Gikas team was a 5-star process! I had a large about of detailed carpentry needed to bring my 1880’s Victorian back to life. The foreman, Alex was crucial in assisting the team on the restorative decisions and made sure everything was done correctly. He circled back multiple times a week and made sure I was happy with the tasks in progress which was beyond appreciated. He is fantastic to work with! The painting team lead by Camila was beyond detail orientated and friendly. They maliciously prepped and painted every inch of my exterior house and historic carriage house. They cleaned up everyday at departure making sure the area as safe and clean. I would HIGHLY recommend Gikas to anyone and will use them again in the future.

Very impressed with the work done in our backyard. We enjoyed discussing the ideas with George and listen to his ideas (which he conveyed in a very respectful manner!) and were impressed with how fast the project could start.His crew worked on levelling our backyard, developing/building a patio and walkways on the side of our home. Tony, who was the foreman, was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The work was done quickly and of high quality!Would definitely recommend Gikas Painting & Contracting.

We recently had the exterior of our home painted and are so happy we chose Gikas for the job. The team was friendly, professional and respectful of keeping our front and back lawn clean throughout the day. I was impressed by their attention to detail, responsiveness and prompt start time each day. The project supervisor, Alex Realtto, was wonderful to work with! His long work history at Benjamin Moore and knowledge of paint palettes helped to guide me on the perfect shade of blue. He was patient during all of my sample trials, always responsive to my questions and calls and a pleasure to communicate with.I will gladly hire Alex and Gikas again in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a detailed and beautiful finished product!

Gikas promptly responded to our request for quotes and was flexible to work around our vacation schedule once we agreed on a scope of work and price. Once they started the work it was completed without any delays. The main work was remodeling our master bedroom which involved new built in closets, painting and new flooring. Our supervisors Alex and Christina were responsive to our concerns and worked with us to solve some initial design problems and to quickly respond to any issues that arose. The one problem we had was that workers failed to clean up properly after each workday and failed to properly seal furniture and open doorways from plaster and saw dust. Overall we were very satisfied with the finished product.

We will definitely use them for all of our future remodeling projects.

I highly recommend Gikas for painting and renovations. They painted the exterior of my house and completely repaired and renovated a porch from 1905. Everything from the first visit by George, the owner, to the project supervisor, Alex Reallto, was a great experience. George immediately impressed me with his knowledge of how my house was constructed and what needed to be done. He has a very deep knowledge of homes in our area and he gained my trust right away.Alex Reallto made great color suggestions for trim and my patio, and was always very responsive to any request I had about schedules and the project timeline. He directed the painting crew with professionalism and respect. I was impressed with his project management skills and the way he interacted with the painting and construction teams.The carpentry that was done on my porch is beautiful. The crew often worked from early in the morning to after 6pm and left the area spotless.Luis and his painting team were meticulous about their work and also worked very hard to ensure that no details were missed.Gikas Painting has made my house look beautiful again, and I would recommend them to anyone, especially for older or historic homes and porch repairs, where they excel in knowing how they are constructed and what they need.

We had a great experience using Gikas for exterior carpentry as well as a full paint job. Our house is very old, and has cedar siding. Unfortunately, the previous owners did not do much maintenance to the exterior of the house, so we had rotted window frames, yellowjackets nesting in our walls, cracked and rotting siding boards, peeling paint, you name it!There was quite a bit of work to be done, but Im glad we did all of it. We have brand new exterior window frames and boards where they were needed, and many of the small-yet-important details have been replaced as well. New drip edges, boards now staggered where they were terminating in a vertical line before (not good), and even some new plywood where the rot was getting into the house.Most of all, I am grateful to our project supervisor Alex who was very attentive and patient, and easy to get a hold of. I will admit that we were maybe not the best clients when it came to choosing a new color for the house. We went back and forth a bit, and held up the work to get our heads straight. Alex helped us through it, and was great when it came to choosing samples and considering our options. He also relayed small requests to the crews, and they got done almost immediately. Now with two coats over the tinted primer, plus the accents, the house looks awesome. And Im so happy there arent angry bees in our walls anymore.I will also note, we found the price to be in line with other quotes from big names in the area. The timeline was a little fuzzy due to lots of rain, but I did not feel that they took too long. They were here pretty much every clear day that wasnt a Sunday, and I preferred that they take their time and show the house some love rather than do a rushed job.

We had an excellent experience with Gikas at our home in Montclair. We repainted some exterior and nearly the entire interior of a large house, and Alex (in particular) and the entire team were exceptionally skilled, hardworking and reasonable during the numerous changes we made mid-process. Working around our changes, concurrent remodeling and busy schedules Alex and team did the job fast, incredibly well, and for a fair price. Highly recommend.

Foreman Alex and painter Enrique did a great job painting the main room of our new home in Bloomfield before we moved in - on a short schedule before moving day they were able to complete on time and to see to some minor carpentry that was required before finish paint was applied. We have also used Gikas for exterior paint and masonry work at our last house - both projects went as planned and foremen were always on top of the scope of work and were easily reached throughout for any questions/requests.

Gikas painting also known as Montclair Painting is experienced with big Victorian homes. A few weeks ago an excellent craftsman replaced and painted the frame around a tall stained glass window. He needed a 30 foot ladder to do the job. The job involved carpentry, painting, attention to detail, and of course balance. His pride in his workmanship was evident. I highly recommend this company. I appreciate the work of the manager, Alex, for his quick and professional response to the request for the job I needed.

I found Gikas through a general search. George the owner picked up and visited my place to assess and provide a quote. I was a little nervous to pay for a premium painting service but I am so glad I did. Their work is stellar. The PM assigned to my home, Alex, was responsive and kept his team on task. We hit a couple of weather hurdles but the guys made up time. I was happy to learn they do full home renovations and had electrical team on hand. They quickly added some lighting to the upstairs bedrooms and replaced my dated track lighting in my master. The guys also handled a tough room that had textured walls. It looks like a whole new upstairs now. I would highly recommend and I look forward to working on additional home projects with Gikas in the future.

One of the advantages of working with Gikas is that they were able to handle a variety of issues related to having out house painted, which simplified the process. Besides the house painting, they found and fixed an important issue with our roof, repaired a door that had been damaged by water, re-stained our outside porch, and did some work with our gutters. Our experiences were generally excellent, and if there were any hiccups, they responded quickly to resolve. We worked most closely with Alex on the house painting. He was a good guy who knew his stuff, kept things moving, and gave us good suggestions.

We have worked with George and his team at Gikas for the past 9 months on an interior master suite renovation project (among other smaller interior items) and exterior painting. We couldn’t be happier. Everything came out amazingly well and the Gikas team provided us with excellent service along the way. Our relocation of the master bath, the renovations to our master bedroom and creation of a walk in closet have made our bedroom a beautiful haven. The interior and exterior paint jobs have our house looking brand new. There are so many people that were great throughout the process but to call out a few... Alex was great coordinating the exterior and making sure that every detail was attended to. Nico, jimmy, and Kristina were great on the interior side. Jimmy is a great carpenter and built us a great built-in and radiator covers. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend Gikas for any painting as well as renovation needs.

Gikas is amazing!! Our house was greatly in need of repair, since it’s from 1905 it still has many old cedar shingles. Gikas went thru each shingle replacing as needed, matching some trim that can no longer be found. So the initial carpentry was stellar as was the final paint job, they left nothing unattended to and now she shines brilliantly!

We recently purchased an 1880s built multi family home in Northern New Jersey that was in dire needed of serious work including full exterior paint, interior paint, rebuilding of the front porch, bannisters and lattice as well as installation of five brand new exterior doors. We decided to go with Gikas given their experience with older homes and reputation in the neighborhood. Our estimate was done by George the owner, he is a very energetic guy and was fair with the prices and scope. If you need ideas, he has plenty! For our foreman / project manager we got Alex, who did an incredible job overseeing the many details of the work. When we needed a color consultant they provided it. When we wanted to add new items to the job we got quotes quickly. When something wasn’t done quite right or there was a problem, Alex was quick to fix it. I particularly appreciated the communication from Alex who was always available by text or call. If you are looking for a team to do a great job at a fair price, then go to Gikas and ask for George and Alex.

We hired Gikas for exterior painting and numerous carpentry issues/ repairs, including reglazing our ancient windows from the outside. We were most impressed with the carpentry. Angel rehung 100 year old Carriage Style Garage Doors that we almost replaced for new. They look great and so glad they are restored and fully working again. Mike made countless repairs to our deck and built custom columns for our front porch. We have received numerous compliments from the neighbors. Alex, our supervisor was super responsive and always available via text- we spoke daily. Whenever there was an issue, Alex always came over to discuss. I am giving 4 stars because at times I felt that the painting was being rushed. Our job did take a full 3 weeks, and I understand the company is super busy, but I think the painting could have been better with more attention to details. Having said that, the painting crew did take the time to come back to our home to reinstall the storm panels after they we had them cleaned and repaired.

I was very impressed with how committed he’s been to make absolutely sure that great quality work is being done, even in the smallest things! love how quickly he responded to my questions and how flexible he’s been when I needed to reschedule. Diego and Jamie have been wonderful as well. They were on time every day and patiently applied all the different samples of paint we considered. They did great quality work with clean lines and very knowledgeable as well.

Gikas did restoration on our exterior which has been battled by squirrels over the years. They did such a outstanding job restoring our home to a better state- we feel more peace of mind knowing everything has been repaired and fortified against those pesky squirrels. Their workmen were so efficient and did an amazing cleanup job. Super impressed.

We recently used Gikas Painting to paint the exterior of our home. Alex helped us choose a great color palette and our house looks so updated and fresh.

It would highly recommend Gikas Painting!

Gikas is the brand, but Alex is the reason why Im giving a glowing review. He was prompt, responsive and a pleasure to work with. He coordinated the painting of our inside bathroom(which came out perfect), and the front and back porch restoration(also perfect). I could not recommend higher, and again, the main reason was Alex. We will def use them again for any of our needs that they can service. :)

We had Gikas recently repaint our house interior from the basement to the attic and were glad we chose them. From the get-go, we were pleased with their estimate and suggestions for minor repairs. Kudos to Alex, the foreman, who was professional, polite, accommodating, quick to respond to our queries and concerns and made sure the job was done right at a reasonable pace and on time. Alexs fluency in Spanish was a plus in helping us communicate with the painters, Darwin and co, who did a wonderful quality job. The electrician, Alain, was helpful as well. Overall, were pleased. Our house looks beautiful and brand new. Thank you all for a great job!

Gikas painted our house-inside and out - in 2017/2018. We ran into a problem w some discoloration on the trim this summer, called Gikas and received a call back from Alex. The next day he was at our house and walked the exterior with me. He was as concerned as we were and within a week had workers in power washing the entire trim, porch roof and all affected areas. They then repainted the entirety of the trim, porch roof, railings, spindles on the wrap around porch and really did a tremendous job. Alex was on-site each day at the start of the day, checked in w me and came back at each stage to check the work. I am completely satisfied and appreciative of the service and attention we were provided. I would recommend Gikas to anyone and they back up their work w excellent service.

I am so grateful to Gikas. First they chose just the right colors for my interior and exterior and made our house beautiful! They replaced several windows which look perfect. They also fixed a lot of carpentry and corrected a poorly designed porch and added lovely touches. Then they painted our fence (Thanks Alex Realtto) which surrounds our property. ) and the quality was fantastic – hand painted not sprayed. They always do an amazing job! I will always use Gikas.

Gikas did beautiful work on the exterior of our house. The team and their subcontractors painted our entire house (stucco, half-timbering, deck, foundation, exterior doors), replaced all gutters, and performed some much-needed carpentry repair. The painters, carpenters, gutter installers, and project manager, Alex, were all professional and worked hard throughout, despite the inclement Spring weather. Project took 2.5 weeks to complete. Final price was as initially quoted. We recommend Gikas and would use them again.

Meeting with George to evaluate the exterior of my home was reassuring. He was very thorough. There was a significant amount of repair work that needed to be done. Other quotes were much higher and I had to point out these repairs to them. The supervisor Alex was fantastic. He was helpful in choosing our house colors and adding small touches like painting trim work in contrasting colors and painting the mailbox. The painting crew was efficient and very respectful of the property.All in all a great experience and a very reasonable price.

We keep going to Gikas because of the beautiful painting and carpentry work they have done for us through the years. First, they did a super-professional job painting the exterior of the house. They also built us a sweeeeeet back deck: rock solid, with gorgeous craftsmanship, that fits the space so perfectly, it looks like it was always there. It gets many compliments! We recently had them do a basement remodel, which went very smoothly from vision to completion. George understands old houses so well, and has great vision both for design and ways to keep projects from incurring new taxes. And big props to our project manager, Manny, for keeping things on track and being so responsive. We are thrilled with the outcome.

We hired Mr. George Gikas and his company, to paint the interior of our newly purchased home. The crew was very good at what they do. Especially Luis, the most experienced painter on our project. An honorable mention also goes out to Alex. He was the Project Manager. Although, our experience didn’t go without a couple of twists and turns, Alex straightened everything out in the end. We now have a great final product. Thank you.

We hired Gikas to replace our roof and paint the exterior of our house. Due to weather and other complications, the job ran much longer than expected.

If you have Alex as your supervisor, you are in great hands!

Gikas Painting & Contracting is an excellent company. We hired them to put in a new roof, repair our stucco, paint the exterior of our home and replace our gutters and leaders. The work was completed quickly and professionally. Niko was very charming and responsive as he responded to our inquiries whether face to face, text, phone or email. He made sure to check up on the workers and insisted on the highest level of workmanship. Our friends and neighbors were amazed how quickly the roof was taken off and the new one went up. It all was completed in one day. Simply amazing. I would not hesitate to bring Gikas Painting & Contracting back and Niko of course for additional work that will be needed to our home.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the work that Gikas provided for my home. George is very knowledgeable about older homes such as mine and upon review of my home made several recommendations . My project was basically a restoration of my nearly 100 year old home- new roof, and gutters. new back deck off my screen porch , new window boxes, restoration of my garage and new paint. George was helpful with my roof and gutter selection and I’m so happy I went with the Owens Corning Duration line. Alex was very helpful and professional and listened to my needs.He made several suggestions regarding the colors for the house and in the end I am very pleased. As seen in some of the before after photos, my house went through quite a transformation! I’m still getting people stopping by to ask who did my project!

Pro tip: when calling GIKAS ask for Alex to come by and estimate your project. He was quick and on point as well as courteous and respectful. He provided a quote via text within a day and once we accepted he was back over quickly with Mike to make plaster repairs to a ceiling and repaint it as well as repair, stain and install new spindles on our 120 year old staircase. Very happy with the work and all around experience with Alex and Mike. Will be calling him directly again for future work.

Working with Gikas has been a real pleasure for both my wife and myself. We recently moved to Montclair and needed some work done on our newly purchased home. Having heard horror stories from people that hired contractors, my wife and I were hoping to find someone that we could trust. We called Gikas and met with George at our home. He is a great guy and easy to talk to. We moved forward with them because he knew what he was talking about and we had confidence in him. We hired them. They were at our home as scheduled with Alex as the manager of our project. He was outstanding! He was in daily communication with us and the project moved forwar as promised. In fact they over delivered! It has been a pleasure working with the Gikas team and will definately be doing more business with them in the future.

Had a great experience with GIKAS Painting. Alex was the foreman - he reviewed the scope of work and was on site daily to be sure our questions were answered and that the work was being done well. The painter and carpenter on site were polite, neat, timely and professional. The repair work inside is flawless. GIKAS makes sure you are happy with the work before they leave the site. I will definitely use them again. They now know my house; they understood and met our expectations of the quality work we expect.

Review 145 (2020-06-27 - Rating: 4)
We needed our house painted, basement windows replaced, and gutters/downspouts replaced. We selected Gikas because they said they would do it and manage it all and their cost was very reasonable. The painting work was performed well and looks good. We needed special work done on a masonry chimney, which required paint removal and application of a specific waterproofing cementitious product. It was difficult work and outside their comfort zone, but the work was completed within budget and looks good. We had one issue during the chimney paint removal; however, Alex quickly came to the job site, on a Sunday, and assisted in resolving the issue. The basement windows were replaced by one extremely hard working man and they look great. The gutter/downspout replacement was outsourced to another company that was amazingly efficient and worked with us to make a few adjustments to the downspout configurations to prevent future water problems. Overall, everyone was responsive to our requests and worked hard to ensure that we were satisfied with the overall product.

We are so incredibly impressed with the quality of Gikas workmanship! From start to finish, Alex and his team (Luis & Esteban) were such a pleasure to work with. Alex quoted a competitive price and he was in constant communication regarding the entire process - e.g., start date, matching paint colors, and properly prepping the house. The back of our 100+-year-old home was extremely weathered, and Luis and Esteban painstakingly sanded every inch of the house. They ensured that all of our windows and lawn furniture were protected and were meticulous in their painting ability. I unequivocally recommend Gikas for all your painting needs - the quality of their work exceeded our expectations!

The exterior of our home was years overdue for painting and had a significant amount of rotting and damaged wood that needed to be repaired or replaced.

Alex was awesome - he took extra care to make sure everything met our expectations and the job was finished exactly when they said it would be. Highly recommend them for any painting and carpentry needs.

My wife and I selected Gikas Painting & Contracting for exterior painting, porch renovation, and carpentry services in May of 2022. We had met with George, the President and Owner of the company, for initial estimates. I immediately appreciated his straightforwardness and experience. He was pointing out things during our walkthrough that no other contractor had seen or bothered to mention. Our decision was made rather easily, more so due to the fact that they were able to start just a few weeks from our signing. Owing no doubt to the multiple crews and talented project managers working for the company.Alex was our assigned project manager for the duration of the renovations. I couldnt speak more highly of Alex, and Im positive we stayed on schedule and on budget due to his expertise. Alex maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, always available to respond to my many texts and calls. He was always on-site for the major decision or instruction, and made himself available whenever necessary to talk through questions or offer his opinion.Carlos led the crew which performed the exterior painting and porch renovation at the house. He and his team were highly respectful, and took every precaution to protect the house, windows, and surroundings during their prep and painting. They would clean up every evening and neatly stacked any equipment or materials being left overnight. The house itself came out beautifully. In particular, the stripping and sanding of the porch to bare wood, removing 127 years of paint layers, was no small feat. We were beyond thrilled with the finished product.Alan was our assigned carpenter for the project. In addition to the repair or replacement of all damaged or rotting siding, trim, molding, floorboards, etc., he also was responsible for rebuilding and reinforcing our rear staircase and porch. This included replacement of the risers, steps, and column supports which had all fallen into disrepair. Alan further added new trim under the second floor soffits, one of Georges suggestions from earlier, which came out magnificently.I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Gikas Painting & Contracting for exterior home renovations, and have already begun to do so. They offer a highly experienced and capable team who can handle all aspects of your home renovation. Thank you, Alex and team!

From the very start of our contact with Gikas Painting & Contracting, Alex Realtto, the supervisor for the painting of the exterior of our house, was responsive to our descriptions of what we hoped to accomplish. At the same time, he offered his own suggestions that helped us to make decisions at each step of the project. He was knowledgeable and his suggestions expertly guided the project from start to finish. Alex was energetic, responding quickly to our phone calls and he visited the work site daily to make certain that things were progressing as promised. It was obvious that he was invested in the success of the project and in our satisfaction with the outcome. The crew of painters/carpenters headed by Luis worked expertly and efficiently and cleaned up at the end of each day. The skill that Luis and his crew demonstrated was extraordinary.

We had two jobs done. On a house we were selling, Gikas replaced the cedar shakes on one side and repaired other spots, than painted the entire house. It turned out fantastic! Amalia helped with the color selections to enhance the saleability of the house and George and his crew were very professional and courteous. The work was done very well. (The house sold in 4 days).When we needed interior painting on the new house, we called Gikas. Hernane Vilaca oversaw this project and was excellent to work with.

We had carpentry work and painting done on our front stoop/stairs and back deck refinished. Alex was great to work with. He was reliable, wore a mask during all of our interactions, and got the job done efficiently.I did not have a 5 stars experience though. I had to have the team come back after they said they were done to touch up missed spots, sand rough patches, and paint over stain they got on my house. Alex came back with the team and ensured the work was done. One regret I have with this work was that I did not do a spot test of the deck color and instead chose the color from a small chip in a stain catalog. With COVID happening, we didn’t feel comfortable going to a store to get testers. When I asked Alex if a darker stain could be applied on top, he said it would cost the same as doing the entire job again even though the power wash would not have to be redone. I chose to live with the color. My front steps are great. The back deck a bit of a disappointment.

They even came out on an urgent matter when we had a roof leak to repair our roof. Niko was very pleasant to work with and got back to me right away. We will use them again. I would highly recommend!!

Our charming little Cape Cod home was our first baby and since buying it 5 years ago, there have been very few contractors that we have trusted with it. Alex and his team at Gikas Painting cared for it and worked on it as if it were there own. Alex was professional, responsive and incredibly receptive to our ideas and our vision. He made thoughtful and value-added suggestions with out being overbearing. The level of care and attention to detail was so appreciated on our end and we could not be more pleased with the end results. Our beautiful little Cape received the TLC that it deserved while still preserving its original characteristics. We will continue to use Gikas for all of our future painting and contracting needs, no matter how large or small! Thank you so much for continuing to provide us with truly remarkable improvements.

The Gikas team painted the exterior of my office building and cleaned and stained the exterior deck/handicap ramp and I was very impressed. They did the work very efficiently, especially around the offices/buildings busy schedule. They were very accommodating in working on the job during hours/days when the office was either closed or less busy.They did repairs/carpentry where needed which was a very big benefit. And they did it everything very well.I especially appreciated the extra effort that Alex Realtto put in. He was very helpful overseeing the project and scheduling and organizing the exceptional team.

We can not speak highly enough about our experience with Gikas. Alex the foreman was always accessible and guided us along the process with patience. All the painters and workmen where not only highly skilled but kind and friendly as well. There was even a miscommunication about a piece of work that was not clear in the contract and Gikas made it right. If you are looking for a place that does amazing work with integrity, this is the place to go!

We hired Gikas to rebuild our front porch and paint the exterior of our home. They also added flower boxes and a railing, which were wonderful additions to the project. We are very pleased with the results - it all looks beautiful. Alex, our project supervisor, was very responsive and professional.

We decided to work with GIKAS after shopping our project around a lot. The project included: roof replacement, aluminum siding replacement and cedar shake repair and painting. The price was competitive, not the cheapest, but fair and well detailed in terms of project coverage. George was responsive and not only did they get us a quote quickly, but they were able to start in less than a months time. Once they started the work, they showed at 7:30 every morning and worked as long as the sunlight allowed. Whenever I had a question or a problem, I could not only speak to my project manager Alex, or carpenter on the job Louis but also George. The project came in on budget and close to schedule (we had a week of nonstop rain that slowed us down). Alex was so helpful in everything we did and made the process very transparent. We felt like we could trust the crew and will be using them again for future projects.

We are using Gikas Painting and Contracting for a number of projects in our 150 year old home. As of this writing, the team has repaired damaged plaster walls, fixed the sagging mantel and tiled the fireplace surround, added a front screen door and rehabbed the original front door, and painted interior rooms. The teams that Alex, the project manager, has brought in are so professional, polite, knowledgable and hard-working. They come in and work with me to determine details of the project; then once the job is completed, we confirm together the job was done to my satisfaction. They leave the place spotless after job completion. Very happy to highly recommend this group, and Alex, as project manager, is easy to work with, very accessible, responsive, and stays on top of things. Up next - refinishing my wood floors and fixing a ceiling leak!

I’ve used Gikas a few times over the years. Besides being a wonderful family-run small business, they do pristine work. They’ve now painted the entire interior of our home and we are floored by how good everything looks and how well it was done. Just love these guys.

I want to thank Gikas, and my fabulous painters, Julian & Levi for the beautiful job they did on my home’s hallways & doors. My Tudor home was in desperate need of painting and some prep work. They were extremely respectful, professional & treated my house with exceptional care. At the end of each day, the floors were washed, the cloths were removed & my home looked like a new house. Alex checked in to be sure that all was to my expectations. I can’t rave enough about the quality of their work & the fact that I barely knew anyone was in my home working. Thank you George for assigning Julian & Levi to my project!!

We had a number of issues with our house on Christopher St. in Montclair - all involving water damage. The problems included water in the basement, the porch ceiling damaged from water leaks, as well as rain water dripping from ceilings in our 2nd floor bathroom and a bedroom. We could see damage to exterior shingles above the roof line on a dormer. But these were not simple issues with an obvious cause.So we called Gikas for help and weve been very pleased with the results. George came to the house, listened patiently, assessed the damage, and sent out a crew a couple of weeks later. Supervisor Alessandro Realtto followed up to guide the workers and he returned multiple times to ensure we were satisfied that all the issues were addressed. They replaced a number of faulty gutters, replaced and repainted exterior shingles, sealed some gaps at roof edges, repaired and repainted the porch ceiling etc.We a very pleased that after subsequent rain storms we have not had water in the basement, and no ceiling leaks.Overall we were very satisfied with our experience with Gikas, and I will not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to others.

Gikas has essentially painted the whole interior of my home over the course of a year. The quality of their craftsmanship cant be beat. A 100 year old house feels practically like new construction! My foreman Alex has been amazing, always responsive and never pushy. Alwats available by phone or text any time of day. And Orlando does an absolutely beautiful job on every job he works on, whether it is paneled windows, cabinetry, textured ceiling, board and batten detail, or just old tired plaster walls (that look like new!). Worth mentioning that when we bought our house, we had electricians remediate knob and tube electrical, so the house was full of large holes in plaster ceilings and walls. You would never know it. Highly recommended.

We have used Gikas a few times. They have done both interior and exterior work for us. Both times we were extremely satisfied. They just completed repair on our front porch and painted first floor of our home. George, Alex and crew very professional. Alex and his crew very nice and hardworking. We are always happy with their results.

We used Gikas for our exterior paint job and again for our garage restoration/home office conversion. Alex was our project manager both times (we specifically requested him the second time) and he is ON TOP OF THINGS! No complaints.

I hired Gikas to remove existing closet shelving and rods. This also involved some carpentry and painting. I was very pleased with the work. Alex and his team were very punctual and professional. And above all else the quality of the work was excellent. I will definitely hire them for any future projects!

Review 194 (2022-10-01 - Rating: 5)
Alex, the project manager, and Enrique, the on-site manager did a masterful job of painting just about every room in my three story house including a finished basement in one week. The quality of the work was first rate. I especially appreciated their willingness to tackle my additional requests as the job was winding down.

The amazing Otavio Henrique (Riky) just did a full basement remodel for me thats astounding: painted the cement floors and walls, rebuilt the stairs, built a banister, repaired walls. Hes so skilled, polite, hardworking and responsible. I simply cannot praise him or his work enough. Thank you for sending him, George-- amazing craftwork and A+ work ethic. The entire Gikas team was amazing. They did electrical work, got my dryer and sump pump to code.... Everyone involved as hard working, sskilled, really nice-- and the transformation to my formerly disgusting basement is remarkable. Thank you!

Gikas came to the rescue again! We contacted Christina for a couple of repairs: paint and roof. Alex arrived early with his crew and they took care of business. Alex and Christina always profesional and pleasant to work with. Looking forward to continue working with Gikas in the future! Thank you! Rick and Teresita Meadows

UPDATE: HaPpY to report that the customer service post-job completion was better than any I’ve ever experienced! Months later, I reached out to Gikas to address some touch-up concerns. And within a couple days, Alex Realtto (a different foreman from the first Alex) was at my front door. He not only promised the fixes I outlined — he even pointed out other areas in need of a little attention. He sent a great crew to my house and got everything in tip-top shape. He was gracious, communicative and lovely to work with!It was an HGTV-like experience...My old house has been totally transformed, thanks to Gikas! Alex led the professional carpentry crew who painstakingly repaired rotten shingles, updated my bannisters and even replaced a small garage window. The workers were courteous and diligent during every step of the process. And Amalia, with her artistic eye, nailed the color to perfection. I could not be more pleased!
