GMART Inc

Our house needed new siding, gutters and all windows needed to be capped. Spending that much money on a house is never a pleasant situation, and we went through a rigorous bidding process. In the end, it was several heartfelt Angies List reviews by fellow AL members that swayed us to go with Greg and his GMART crew. I hope to pay it forward and that someone else will ready my review and give Greg and GMART a second look. First of all, our house has gone through a Lot of interior and exterior work by various companies over the last few years, so we are (unfortunately) very experienced at this point with playing the role of a general contractor to do work on our house. Over these past few years I've developed a pessimistic and skeptical view of anyone who we hire. I can honestly say that Greg and everyone who worked with him at GMART on our house are in that top bracket of people who, through their work ethic, managed to convince me that sometimes there are truly good people in the house renovation business. They seem to genuinely love what they do and care about their work. They show up early, stay late (a couple of times they stayed a couple hours late to prepare for bad weather that was coming the next morning) and even cleaned up after themselves each day. They are considerate (asked if it was OK to work on Saturdays, listened and adjusted their approach to my wife's wants, etc... etc...). Most importantly, they did what so far appears to be an outstanding job on our house despite all the curve balls that came their way through this process. Greg pointed out a few other things that were not right with our house and fixed them for free(!) because their drive for quality and professionalism is hard to find.

Overall the experience was great. The crew was professional and hard working. They paid attention to every detail on the task they were performing and when they had a question about something, they asked me before proceeding. Gregory, the owner, is very responsive and followed up with me on a daily basis. The crew did an exceptional clean up of the site on a daily basis and when the project was complete. I would most definitely recommend GMart to family and would contract them for future work.

Gmart, Inc did complete aluminum capping, custom shutters, and seamless gutter installation at my house in March 2016. Everything was done right on time with excellent quality. Greg was on the site every day. When I had questions he was immediately available over the phone, and, if needed, met me at my house usually same day at the time convenient for me. Often he suggested ideas, improvements even if it costed him extra effort and material. His team is top notch with the great skills, determination, and attention to details. I strongly recommend GMART, Inc. and Greg for whatever home improvement project you may have in mind.

Greg, the owner of GMart, did an excellent job describing how he was going to set up and complete the project. We bid out the job to 5 different contractors, yet Greg's recommendations to improve the curb appeal were consultative, and his eye for detail stood out for the other siding companies. Once we decided to move forward, Greg promptly ordered the supplies and visited the site to discuss the scope of work with his crew. Once the siding was delivered, GMart worked everyday for two works save one due to weather to complete the job. The worksite was always cleaned up at the end of the day and it was clear this team has worked together for a number of years. The home had previously been covered in invasive vines, but Greg and his team removed all the growth before installing the siding. Greg made added a few bonuses to the project like adding shake to our entry way (looks great!) and installing lattice I had in my garage under the porch and stairs. During the final walkthrough, Greg ensured that the job was exactly what we had discussed and even left some extra siding in case our builders accidentally damaged the work he had done. The house looks like new now and I would highly recommend Greg and his team!

He does what he says he'll do. Quick, knowledgeable, a real professional!! No mess!

I wish I could give Greg and his team 10+ stars. We had hail damage in our neighborhood after a storm. After watching my neighbors have their siding replaced by other siding contractors and noticing a vast difference in the methods they used, I started researching siding replacement. Greg was not a "storm chaser" I contacted him through Angie's list. His quote was fair. He provided a superior product with an experienced installation team. GMART removed the siding from my house, replaced the Tyvek with new Tyvek and insulation panels. The Tyvek was taped at the seams prior to the insulation being installed. The vinyl was then installed on top of the insulation. The windows were professionally trimmed out. Each seam where the siding track touched wood on the house was caulked. The windows were caulked at the bottom and had flashing installed at the top insuring that they were water proof. They were prompt and respectful of my yard. Greg responded to both my e-mails and text messages promptly. Greg is the owner and truly cares about the end result. Greg and his team exceeded my expectations. They are professionals and experts in their field. If you are considering replacing the siding on your house, look no further. You have the choice of where to spend your money, whether it is through homeowners insurance or out of pocket, make the choice to use a company who cares about the end product and is proud to put their name on the work done.

High quality materials and attention to detail for workmanship while working thru harsh weather. Competitive pricing. Nice people. Quality work.

Greg and his crew at GMart are top notch. We got multiple quotes for re-siding our house, all from Angie's List. Greg came out and discussed the project with us in detail, and had both creative suggestions as well as options for keeping cost reasonable. He listened to what we wanted to do and put together a quote that was very competitive. Before and during the job, Greg was in contact with us via phone to confirm where things were with the schedule (even calling me once to let me know he would be 5 minutes late to a meeting at our house!). The job took about 10 days in total, and needed to be completed as two different sessions since we needed to coordinate some other work being done to our house around the same time. The crew at GMart was professional and very detail oriented. They took extra time to put some very subtle details in place with some of the trim around our windows, and we couldn't be happier with the results. On top of this work, we had some water damage behind some of the siding that was removed. Greg took pictures of the damage, and took care of fixing this up for us to ensure it is done right. We offered multiple times to pay him for the extra work involved here, but he wouldn't accept any additional payment even though this clearly involved more work than expected. We will be recommending GMart to anyone we know looking for new siding in the NW Chicago suburbs. They wholeheartedly deserve their "A" rating here on Angie's List

Greg came through and saved the day again for me. After the very high winds we had last week part of my siding had detached from the house and was flapping around. Even though his crew was completely booked Greg came out himself to repair the damage. He not only came out very quickly but explained why the siding had so easily pulled away from my house. This is the second time I've called in a situation like this and both time Greg has made time to come out and fix the issue. Even though this wasn't a big job, he treated it with the utmost urgency and fixed my problem. You just don't find this superior level of service and support these days but I'm fortunate that I did.

Called hoping for some ASAP service as we had some wind damage that caused a large piece of siding to come loose. Since it was still very windy, the piece was blowing around and I was worried about further damage to siding or windows. Greg responded and was here within a few hours to do the repair. He showed me some issues with my siding being loose and did the repair in a very timely and professional manner. I would definitely recommend his service.

It went really well. Greg was easy to work with, professional and his crew did a great job from start to finish.

Would highly recommend GMart. Greg and his crew did a great job siding my house and shed and at a great price too. He takes pride in his work. It was a pleasure working with him. Greg is the best!

Greg was the first one to respond and the best price for the best quality products and work. In fact, the other quotes we got didn't even offer more than one product. It was not the price alone that made it so easy to choose G-Mart. It was the time spent on each detail of the exterior of our home that made it so easy for us to choose him. He responded to every question we had quickly. His crew was professional and easy to communicate with. In the end, he stuck to his estimate even though he needed additional materials. He was on site daily and always in communication with us. The entire experience was outstanding. If I could give him an A+, I would!

Very appreciative of Greg's honesty and willingness to help me.

We recently had our soffit and fascia replaced by GMART. I was extremely pleased with the quality of service, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness Greg and his team provided. I originally contacted a few siding companies to obtain estimates within the same timeframe. Greg was prompt in taking my call and providing a quote on very short notice. Other contractors provided estimates which ranged significantly greater than Greg?s quote and some that which were slightly less than what Greg offered (however this one was not as comprehensive as Greg?s). I chose to work with GMART because of the confidence I had in Greg after seeing how knowledgeable he was and because he provided straightforward answers to any questions I had during the estimate process. Greg was always prompt in his response and provided excellent suggestions which we overlooked. I really appreciated him providing us options on how to proceed with the install based on our preferences to ensure we have the best outcome. Greg was kind enough to remove an old satellite-dish from the side of the house. He re-arranged old cables around the existing siding to hide them from visibility and applied matching caulking to the siding where any screws were disconnected at no additional charge. Greg also provided replacement weather-strips on the garage door at no additional charge instead of reapplying the old strips after capping the garage door perimeter! Greg was able to commence work within three days of signing the contract and was very flexible in including all of our requests. His team was very courteous while they worked around the home. They arrived promptly at the time they stated and completed the project at the time they originally anticipated. The installers were very careful to remove any materials and debris from the worksite. I would happily recommend GMART to anyone without reservation!

Greg was the only company that actually gave us design tips and really seemed to care about the final outcome and our satisfaction. That really went a long way for us. The original start date was to be beginning of August as we had to wait for siding to come in because we ordered a custom color. However, the siding came in two weeks early and our house is complete already. He was able to have a team come out to our house early. The team showed up on a Tuesday bright and early and worked till almost 7pm. They continued this schedule through the end. They even worked Saturday and Sunday and Saturday was a very hot day but they still powered through. They were always friendly and worked around our hectic schedule and lifestyle. Greg would often check up on progress and make sure we were happy and he and his team would always double check before continuing on any aspect of the job that possibly skewed from our original plan. Greg was also very excited to see the completed project which made us feel good. He basically created a custom design for our home and our home is quite unique and really stands out. It has only been two days since completion and we have already gotten a lot of compliments. Greg also had to really work with our insurance company to prove all the material needed, damage done, etc. That could not have been an easy task but he was willing to do it for us. I am not sure most companies would do that. If I ever need any work done regarding my home, I will most certainly use GMART. Great company and very nice people.

Our house looks beautiful thanks to Greg and his crew. We couldn't be more satisfied with the product and installation. Greg was always on time for appointments, easy to communicate with, very responsive to our questions, and by far had the best price. His crew was neat, respectful, and professional. I would highly recommend using Gmart.

After initial e-mail contacts, Greg came out to the house and sized up the job. We initially wanted oversized gutters around the entire first floor, but Greg advised us against doing that. We settled on oversized gutters on one portion of the house, and standard 5 inch gutters in the front of the house. The workman appeared promptly on the agreed day and finished in the early afternoon without even stopping for a break. He cleaned up EVERYTHING and the job looks great. I would definitely hire Gmart again.

The work was done very fast and very neatly. It looks better then we expected.

We had an exceptionally good experience with Greg and his team. Greg was on time or early for appointments. The estimate came quickly and was a fair price. His crew did an excellent job on the install and their workmanship exceeded our expectations. Greg is very knowledgeable and he did a great job of helping us handle the issues that came up with the house, giving us lots of options and guidance. We added additional work to the job and he fit that into our timeline for us. The team came early and stayed late. The team also cleaned up beautifully each day, which was important because of our kids and dog. As another reviewer said, Greg is one of the best contractors we have ever hired. We would highly recommend him.

Excellent and prompt communication and action throughout transaction from estimate to completion. Thoughtfully explained everything necessary, provided reasoning for positioning, and then provided a walk through and explanation at completion of deal. Gutters look and work great. Very happy. Greg was great to work with, very honest and did not oversell, will work with him again if necessary.

I have never dealt with a contractor like Greg! I had contracted with a different co. to replace windows and siding. The windows were replaced and I was so dissatisfied that I was afraid to have that co. do the siding. I found GMart (Greg) through Angie's list. Greg responded immediately. When he saw the condition of the windows he suggested I call the owner of the company and have him look at the job and he offered to meet with us, which he did (prior to contracting with him). Greg helped me resolve the issues with the other company. I was happy with the products he uses, he always responded to my calls right away, he had great ideas and a good sense of design - so I agreed to the contract. He has a crew of 4 gentlemen (and they were very much gentlemen!) Throughout the entire process, from receiving the materials to the install and the completion of the project everything was either on time or ahead of schedule. The crew was respectful of my home, my neighbors, my family and me. At the end of every day they cleaned up and swept. They are extremely hard workers and I am very happy with the work they did. Greg was at my home every day checking on the progress, touching base with me, taking pictures of the house at various stages, etc. I was always kept up to date on everything. This company goes above and beyond!!!! The dumpster was gone within an hour or less of completion of the project. I am very happy with the way it looks. To Greg, Chris, Pawel, Nick, Marcine (please forgive the spelling) I can't thank you enough for restoring my faith in contractors. Good luck with your business - all businesses could be schooled by you.

Greg responds within minutes when you call and is very professional. Greg's customer service is outstanding.

Terrific. Not only was the work done quickly, but the cost was fair and the result was terrific! While other companies were recommending replacing the siding for the entire house, Greg focused on what really needed to be done and the result was a very satisfied customer. Would definitely hire again!

The work done was pure craftsmanship of the highest order. They start early and work late. They work very hard with attention to detail. They clean up after each day only leaving behind the large metal bending machine needed to start the next day. Whatever they commit to on the agreement, they do. I could not be any happier with the work done by GMART ! ( you can share my review BUT NOT my name and address with the only exception being with the service provider )
