Gorman Carpentry and Home Renovation

Gormanâ s was very responsive, professional, and had great craftsmanship.

End result was good, quality work, Christian as amicable & very capable with a good eye for details.

We hired Lucky Gorman to repair our wooden stairs that are original to our 1905 house. Our primary concern was that they were extremely squeaky, with one being a little loose. The noise they produced basically made it impossible for us to go up and down the stairs while our 2-year old was sleeping. The Gorman crew worked efficiently and cleanly, and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result. The stairs are perfectly quiet from top to bottom, and are so stable that it feels like our house is better put together now that it was a week ago.

The room is complete now and i love the room.

They worked hard and done a good job!

Lucky and his team were great to work with. They were efficient, kept us informed of progress, and delivered outstanding work!

Came on time. Very neat and professional. Kept me informed of his progress. Called me a few days later to see if I was satisified.

They were very knowledgeable about older buildings and were able to clearly explain what was needed to repair a staircase that had separated from the wall. And they did an excellent job of restoring the staircase back to its original condition, including matching paint on drywall that was 15 years old.

Coordinating with Lucky Gorman was easy. He kept me informed. The work performed looks beautiful.

Lucky Gorman did a fantastic job. Very responsive, very communicative, gave me a candid and clear opinion of how to proceed. Highly recommended!

Gorman responded very fast with fair price. Good quality work and very friendly worker. It’s a pleasure to work with them.

This was one of the best home improvement experiences I have had. We needed a lot of deck work on a porch and two decks. Lucky and Christian came over the next day; I had an estimate within two days, and the work started within the week. The entire project was done in two weeks time. They knew that the weather was going to change to be too cold and they completed the project. Christian was fantastic to work with. He would brief me on the what was going to be done that day and the following few days. He is so knowledgeable and takes pride in the workmanship. Several other tradesmen were on site and very professional and personable. I'm so pleased with how the work turned out. I would highly recommend Gorman Restoration to anyone looking for home improvement projects.

It was a bit more expensive than I would have expected and the invoice was sent after they started the work already. The people were really really nice and easy to work with. They were also very transparent about my options and their opinion on what I should do. However, I don't know if the fix was worth the price after everything when I could have just replaced the door. Overall would use again

Quick to respond (I received a call back within 20 minutes) and came out the next day to repair our door. Solid work, timely communication, and excellent results. I would absolutely recommend Gorman, and will definitely use them for future projects when they come up. Thank you for the great service!

Quick to respond and even quicker to get to work. Great customer service and solid quality work. I will work with them again in the future for sure!! Thanks for the great work!

Our 120 yr old gut rehabbed brownstone, original wood front door had been poorly installed leaving gaps all around the door frame. I hired two different contractors who each made the problem progressively worse. Luckily, I found Gorman. Christian came out the same day I contacted Gorman to assess the problem - I knew they were good when they focused on the root cause rather than the symptoms to develop a solution. The work took a couple of days and was a process of remediating each element of the door, frame, hinges, lock, etc. Now we have a perfect seal and lock alignment. During the two day job, Lucky Gorman stopped by to ask me how I felt the job was going...fantastic customer service, for sure. I can highly recommend Gorman without hesitation and plan on using them for our next job.

The quality of work on this project was outstanding. Our old deck had a number of issues that were identified in the home inspection, which they of course fixed. But we also had an atypical ask in that we wanted built in benches. They came up with a design using angled supports that looks great and will last longer than just using traditional screws. So youâ re not just getting a quality project; youâ re also getting design work built into the cost, which is a huge plus.

In July of 2022, Gorman Restoration and Remodeling restored the original exterior front door on my 1940 English Tudor home. The door poses a challenge due to the rounded top. Most places I called wouldn't even consider restoring the door. Lucky Gorman had one of his carpenters replace the peeling wood veneer, then add a stain and top coat of polyurethane. It turned out beautiful. Unfortunately, less than a year later, the veneer began to peel. Not necessarily a reflection on the excellent work completed by the carpenter, but rather due to extreme sunlight damage. I contacted Lucky in March of this year and told him what had happened. He worked diligently to find a carpenter who could come up with a permanent solution to the problem. And this past Thursday his carpenter, Norbert, removed the veneer, stripped off all the glue and residue, stained and sealed the door. It looks better than it did before. And best of all, he honored the 1 year warranty. There aren't many companies that would do this. Lucky is an honest and honorable contractor and I would definitely hire his company for future work as well as recommend him to my friends and family.

This was a bathroom remodeling job, and the results are beautiful! The bathroom is now the nicest room in our house. Mike did most of the work, and he did an excellent job, and was cheerful, careful and diligent. Christian had a part to play (tile choices) and did a very good job--the floor looks great! The job took longer than expected, but with projects of this sort, you never know what surprises you might find that need extra attention.

Mike the carpenter was awesome and Iâ m pleased with the work.

Took $500 deposit and it was originally for new sliding glass door. Turned out that old door just needed adjustment which was done. I asked for itemized bill as I believe the labor was not $500 worth. Still in arbitration. After prodding from Angi I finally received an itemized bill which turned out to be over my deposit.

My rating should speak for itself.

Had a back door issue on the expensive doors that go from our family room to our back deck. Lucky Gorman responded right away to my call, and a few days later Lucky and Mike came out, fixed the issue that day. We have an upcoming kitchen remodeling project, will def have them come by for a quote. Marc, Roscoe Village

Replied quickly when I needed an emergency, same day deck repair and finished the job within a few hours. Didn’t feel gouged or railroaded into a repair I didn’t need and I would use them again.

I reached out to Gorman Carpentry & Restoration to have my back door repairs after the upper glass pane shattered. Lucky responded to my initial message quickly, and maintained pretty open communication throughout the process. Because I had initially gotten rid of the frame holding the glass, it took a while for us to find some thing that would work out, but I was able to get the original frame and that made it much easier for them to replace the glass. Both Lucky and the contractor he sent out also spent a great deal of time communicating with me and trying to come up with alternative solutions in case I was unable to get the frame fixed.Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely call them again for my next home repair.
