Gary Sweitzer Services, Inc.

Beware. This guy took 13k deposit pulled a carpet installed a deficient Wall frame and sink and abandoned the project. Hired a new contractor that had to redo the sink and redo wall. He doesnt pay his subs. DO NOT hire. Walkersville MD

They do great work, but they blew the timeline by 4 months. Not days. Not weeks. Months.

No comments.

Gary is truly Excellent! He is very prompt in picking up your calls and contract team is absolutely wonderful. We did our basement remodeling with Gary and we cannot ask for more. We had our basement totally redone to include a new bedroom and all new bathroom and all of the work was excellent. I would strongly recommend Gary.

We hired Gary Sweitzer to remodel 2 upstairs bathrooms. In the master bath, we had a new shower installed with a tile floor and a drain system that we were told would never leak... Well... 2 years later I have water dripping from the kitchen ceiling (the master bath is directly above the kitchen). I contacted gary, and he basically blew me off... Telling me that it could not be anything he did... Maybe it was the result of a heavy rain (I have a new roof)... Maybe it was my gutters... Come on... I asked that he break into the ceiling to see where the water was coming from... If it was from the shower, I expected him to repair, if not I would pay him to repair... He basically said no.... I have all this on text message. We paid over $20k, and he refuses to stand by his work... Please be careful... The water leak has taken 2 years to appear... And he is throwing around a 1-year warranty disclaimer... Even though my paperwork shows nothing to that effect.

We interviewed 5 different Contractors and they were the first. We went with them because they were the best priced and they were the only ones who did not pressure us in any way. They talked with us and made changes to fit our budget. The work was amazing and done in the time that was set. We didn't go over budget a

Gary Sweitzer, owner of Excellent Contracting Inc, proved to be a very experienced, responsive builder. He listened respectfully to our basement design ideas with storage area, closet, wet bar, bath and gas fireplace and gave us good advice. His motto is, "I want my customers to be happy." His crew and subs were very courteous and professional and finished on schedule. Gary gave us a written contract with a competitive bid with the " bonus" of a builder who really knew his business.

Gary's is an absolute pleasure to work with and his company does impeccable work.

Chose contractor recommended by architect who is local.

Very professional, positive contractor who seemed knowledgeable with the type of work I was looking for and had some interesting ideas I hadn't considered. We are still in the budgeting phase for our project so did not hire Gary for this work right away. Would definitely contact him again for other projects.

We had a permit issue and Gary was the only person who could work with Howard County to get that fixed. Kudos to him on knowing his way around. But out french door turned out to be a recycled metal fire door until we pointed out that the contract said "french door" - the outside stairs were recycled when our contract said otherwise and I ended up sanding my own drywall and painting around the doors -- when I started to complain he mentioned other 'permit issues' with the house and that 'hopefully the county won't notice" - since we were moving on a timeline and putting kids in college, we sucked it up and moved out.

Gary's first project for us was to remodel and tile our master bathroom. During succeeding months, Gary built a new bathroom and walk in closet in the basement, remodelled the kitchen, and installed a tankless hot water heater, a gas fireplace, and new stair rails. The house has been beautifully transformed. In all instances, the work was competently completed. Gary's prices are fair and his responsiveness to the customer's concerns and alterations of plans was excellent. Works with superb electrical and plumbing subs. Would recommend highlyt to family and friends.

Gary and his team were truly "Excellent!" Gary's quote was considerably better out of the four I got. At first, I thought this was because he would skimp or cut corners, but after checking his references I realized this was not the case. We had our basement totally redone to include a new bedroom and all new bathroom and all of the work was top notch. Gary stayed on time and on budget for the whole project and was very easy to deal with. We did the remodel because we were having another baby and since having her we've had tons of family come through and stay down there. They have all been amazed at the transformation and the quality of work.

We got our basement finished by Excellent Contracting. The work was done quick and there were no hidden fees, everything was presented to us at the beginning of the project, and the payment plan was reasonable. Gary had great ideas for our basement and it turned out wonderful!!! Anytime we had questions (and I felt like that was often), Gary was available to answer them. We are so happy with our basement and we are thankful that we found Excellent Contracting through Service Magic. Highly recommend!!!
