They charged me more than the quoted amount, which was already hight and didn't do all of the work. Some of the doors were not painted.

We had reached our DIY skill limit on a porch restoration on our 100+ year-old house at the point of replacing the porch stairs. I put the project through Home Advisor on Friday and I got a call back from Lucky within a day. He was here on Monday morning first thing, and had a fair estimate for me by that afternoon. Today is Friday, and the project--from start to finish was completed yesterday -- within one week! The quality of the work is very good and the team was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be hiring this team again with this ongoing project.

This has been my year of contractors with just about everything around me needing to be repaired or replaced. Of this group, Gorman Restoration was easily my best experience. They were prompt and efficient in scheduling and took care of the job quickly and perfectly. Jeffrey and Jimmy were superb professionals and as a bonus terrific guys and a joy to work with.

Mr. Gorman was pleasant from day one. He was timely and professional. The job was difficult as other electricians were not able to figure out the installation. I would recommend Mr. Gorman to anyone for any job or a very challenging job. He was personable and a pleasure to be around the entire time as well.

I was in a bind with a fire door that was stuck closed. They answered my call right away and came out the same day. They did a great job, got the door working, explaining exactly what was wrong - and all in a timely manner. Also, they were very, very nice. I will definitely call them again!

Asked them to fix track lighting because it had gone dim. Pulled out the track and bought new track and lights on my dime to find that it was the dimmer switch. Equipment cost $230. My engineer replaced dimmer switch for $50. To be fair, he did not charge me for time spent.

Lucky and his team did a nice job repairing and resealing our deck. Good attention to detail and adjusted his schedule to avoid some potential weather issues. He stuck to his quote and only adjusted for add ons that I requested. Lucky likes to maintain constant communication which is normally great but if you are busy you may want to focus on setting up times to commincate. I would recommend him and his team for repair or maintenance.

My experience with this company was AWFUL. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE GUYS. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL SPECIALLY AFTER THEY RECEIVED THE PAYMENT. At first, Lucky was nice and he sent this polite handyman (Bryan)for free estimate. The estimate included labor and materials, it was pricey but I assume they would do a good job so I did not mind it. The project was not done in 1 day since he started close to 12 noon (he said he would come at 10am) and I had some additional work done that he had to buy the materials for. We agreed that he would be back Thursday the following week. I made the mistake of paying them in full even the job was not completed. In good faith, I trusted these guys. HUGE MISTAKE! They scheduled me at 3pm for 2 days (thurs & fri) and cancelled on me at around 2pm on the day of on both days. I was treated like a second class citizen after I paid in full. I asserted that I should be put on the schedule first thing Monday morning, Lucky came in Monday morning with a new handyman who did not know what he was doing, who apparently Lucky just hired. The new guy WALKED OUT on Lucky from my apartment in the middle of the job! My husband was dumbfounded! Lucky was in my apartment running his office answering calls and calling Bryan. Nothing was done until Bryan finally came at around 2:45pm, what a waste of our time! They did not leave until the project was completed, it was almost 7pm. The closet door was poorly installed, the wall mounting of my soundbar was half done and he damaged my balcony where he was cutting the closet door. Oh wait, there's more... Bryan had the decency to text me before coming to my apartment to complete the job, that I owe him and Lucky money for the additional materials and labor cost. HOW CAN I OWE IF YOU DID NOT EVEN COMPLETE THE JOB YET! It was such a stressful experience. I could have argued about the closet door, but I was so tired and just want them out of apartment.
