Went well start to finish. He offered helpful ideas and suggestions.
Description of Work: I wanted two radiator covers - one for my living room and one for the bathroom. Gary came out and measured on several different occasions in order to get the measurements and job done right. A couple of weeks later, he delivered and installed my radiator covers. The quality is excellent - it like custom furniture and looks so much better. I highly recommend Cover My Radiator.

Things went extrememly smooth. Gary responded to my email right away and came out within a week (I think the timing was limited by our schedule). He measured, brought several pictures and had very upfront pricing. We decided to go ahead with the covers and picked out the styles we wanted from his images. It was very clear to us that Gary takes pride in his work and wants things to be perfect, which we greatly respected. He stopped by a few times to measure (which he told us about from the beginning). As mentioned above, two of our covers were a very challenging fit and he had to stop by a few more times just to make a quick measurement or check a cut. As for stain, he took the time to go through three iteration to get the match to be perfect. We are ecstatic with the new covers. We would recommend Gary to anyone who is looking to replace their radiator covers. We just wish he built more furniture besides radiator covers, he is an excellent woodworker.
Description of Work: Gary built 4 radiator covers for our living room, dining room and 2 bedrooms. Two of the radiators were stained to match the woodwork and the other two were painted to match the windows. To say he custom fits each radiator would be an understatement: he took into account the variations in the floor elevation so that the flush covers were perfect. We have two covers that were very difficult to fit (the ones that came with the house did not fit at all) due to adjacent windows and doors and of course the floor trim. He took the time to make sure the fit was perfect. These covers look amazing!

Gary was great to work with. He measured for the radiator covers and promptly gave us a price. While working on them, he came twice to the house with parts to check for proper fit. He stained and varnished them for us. They fit perfectly and look beautiful
Description of Work: We wanted to cover three radiators in our livingroom, dining room and sunroom with wood covers in the mission style.

If I could give an A+, I would. Gary came out when he said he would. He estimated the project and stuck to that estimate, even though the project was more involved than we all initially thought. There was a slight time delay but only because we had tremendous difficulty matching the stain to the existing window above it. Gary is meticulous and insisted that we persevere until we found exactly the right match. His work ethic was second-to-none, and the result was a high-quality, gorgeous piece. Truly, I could not be happier. He is worth every single penny. I never thought a radiator cover could be such a work of art--until now.
Description of Work: Gary made a beautiful, mission-style oak radiator cover for our living room.

I think I've adequately described this above. He came the same day I called him.
Description of Work: We had radiator covers made many years ago, and they are perfect. They are wood, painted white, to complement are bedroom, master bathroom, and dressing room, with slats to let the air circulate. Over time, four of the slats had loosened and were slightly aslant. Gary Smith, owner, came immediately and repaired the slats; he charged us only $40, including time to and from our house and completing the repairs. He does beautiful work. We also had two larger covers for other rooms made at the same time he did the radiator covers I just mentioned. They are still beautiful--no paint deterioration-- and in great shape.

Gary came out and took measurements on our radiator. Our radiator was along a wall next to a patio door. The measurements had to be exact because if it was too large the door could swing out and hit the top of the cover. Once hired for the job, he came out a couple of times to go over the custom stain choices and also to make sure the bevel on the back side of the cover was flush against the baseboard. Upon completion, we couldn't be happier. The stain color and graining matches our trim work nicely. The finish is also very smooth and even. It's a very nice upgrade to our kitchen.
Description of Work: We had one custom radiator cover built and installed in our kitchen.

Gary was great to work with. He's the guy who introduced us to Angie's List, thanks! He quickly created three upstairs radiator covers and spent a little longer for 2 more custom covers for the downstairs that match an existing radiator grid. He was very professional and was always available. We appreciate the work he has done for us.

Gary was very open to our wishes and flexible with his design. Both units were meticulously measured and built, and Gary even came back several times for additional measurements as he wanted to ensure the units would be level on our not-so-level 1917 floors. He obviously cares very much about his work and it shows. We would work with him again in a second.
Description of Work: Gary created two radiator covers for our 1917 home; one standard for the washroom and one designed to our specifications with additional storage for the nursery we are decorating.

GARY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON ALL THREE RADIATOR COVERS AND MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE HOUSE FOR ''FITTINGS''. MY OLD RADIATOR COVERS WERE ATTACHED TO WALLS AND WOODWORK WHICH MADE CLEANING DIFFICULT. NOW I CAN JUST MOVE THE COVERS FOR EASY CLEANING. THE WOODWORK IS EXCELLENT AND GARY EVEN HELPED ME IN DECIDING ON THE COLOR STAIN. ALL MY NEW COVERS HAVE SOLID TOPS, THE OLD ONES DID NOT, SO THEY ARE MORE LIKE PIECES OF FURNITURE. GARY EVEN MADE SURE THAT THE NEW COVERS HID THE PREVIOUS CUT-OUTS IN THE WOODWORK CAUSED BY THE OLD COVERS BEING ''BUILT-INS'' AND ALSO MADE ALLOWANCES FOR THE CURVES IN THE BASEBOARDS.
Description of Work: BUILT 3 BEAUTIFUL RADIATOR COVERS. STAINED TWO AND PAINTED ONE.
