Lois and John Gilroy and Sue Obaza are fantastic to work with. Communication was clear and steady, and everybody always showed up on time. Most importantly, the on-site team delivered top-quality craftsmanship and labor. Gilroy is probably not the least expensive option for excavating and other construction projects, but they are worth every penny.
Description of Work: Gilroy excavated and moved earth at our construction site, and built several stone retaining walls around a new building. They also helped with the building construction at a critical moment when our original contractor failed to deliver.

John and Lois Gilroy and their team were simply fabulous. Well-organized, punctual, and committed to top-quality craftsmanship. They are not the cheapest contractors in the area, but they are worth every penny. They will provide top-quality work.
Description of Work: We hired Gilroy to excavate and terrace an area around a new building. Ultimately they also built two stone walls (with two sets of stairs) and helped us complete several aspects of the building itself.

The overall project went really well and was done quickly. They were accomidating when it came to payments and they were attentive to my questions, concerns and comments. While the walkway was a little expensive, the quality and speed of the work were amazing. I do plan on using Gilroy Northeast again for other projects.
Description of Work: Excivate gravle walkway and remove old incorrectly installed step from the walkway to the front porch. Leveled the walkway and brought in filler. Installed new Paresian Pavers with a slight curve pattern and installed a Roka step at the proper height.

As soon as the work began, we had confidence that we had made a good decision. The excavation was done carefully with little time wasted. the preparation of the base was completed next and the pavers laid as we had chosen. Result: a beautiful patio that did not exceed our budget.
Description of Work: We wanted a new backyard patio build to connected to our deck. We contacted several companies and decided to go with Gilroy Northeast. We liked their plan best and that we could see real samples of the styles of pavers that we could select from. Their schedule to begin the work fitted with our needs too..

John Gilroy visited the site and gave an estimate within 3 days. The project was scheduled, and began just as agreed. The work took about a week, and the worker who did most of the work (Charlie) was a very hard worker and very diligent at his task. He is a real asset to the company. Dealing with Lois and Sue in the office was a pleasure, and the communication during the project was great. Everything was done exactly as agreed in the contract. I would not hesitate to use and recommend Gilroy Northeast, Inc. They deserve 10 stars. Thank you all for a job well done!

Not happy at all in my dealings with Gilroy. After making me wait over a month for the "pleasure" of an estimate, they called a few weeks prior to the appointment. Apparently they didn't like that I was having other estimates of the paver patio job I was looking to price, because after that phone discussion "they now are going to pass." I suppose financial diligence is not appreciated at Gilroy because I was told in no uncertain terms that "Gilroy is expensive." Almost like I couldn't afford their services. In hindsight I take that to mean "we will look to overcharge the less fiscally responsible." Please look elsewhere when looking for a similar job. They will make it seem like the are doing you a favor to overpay them. Save your time for a business that appreciates a customer and their needs. [approximate cost: $15000.00]

Response from GILROY NORTHEAST INC.
As you are aware we never met you or ever came to your home to give you an estimate. We only spoke on the phone at the Tannersville office briefly. We canceled our meeting promptly many weeks prior with you because we didn't have time to do a proper sketch and estimate for you. Unfortunately, Gilroy Northeast can not do a rush proposal or a rush drawing or an expedited construction job. That is not what Gilroy Northeast is about. We did explain clients book very far in advance for their renovations and we are sorry you were offended that we are so busy. As your aware we offered you a gift card since you were so upset that we couldn't get you in the schedule which you turned down. We offered to have you meet our owner which you said you would contact our office for a meeting and you never did. We hope you will reconsider and become a forever client with a beautiful renovation.

We are very pleased with our new patio. It is beautifully made and fits all our requests to the smallest details. The workers were prompt and very neat. They were respectful and cleaned up after themselves. They did the work in a timely fashion. The owner was fully involved with the job. This is not our first experience with Gilroy Northeast. They put in a sidewalk for us. We were so pleased, we did not hesitate to call them for this project. We have only good things to say about this company and hope to use them in the future.

Gilroy Northeast keeps files on all of our Clients and their design choices. This helps as different phases are done through the years to keep the same hard scape look and color concepts Their patio design choice was very beautiful as well as the Techo Bloc color. Gilroy Northeast cares about each and every client so that we can work with them throughout the years on renovations.

There is a part in the walkway where water pools. Now whenever it runs dirt is pushed onto my walkway every time. It always looks dirty. They also dumped a bunch of grout into the garden area and I wasn't able to plant anything. I sent them a schematic of the problem but I received no response. I finally called and they said they thought I needed a drain. I haven't heard from them in 6 weeks. They did not address the grout problem at all. Now that they have waited until winter, they won't be able to do anything. They have been giving me the run around since June.
Description of Work: They put in a walkway and changed the steps for me.

Dear [Member name], As you are aware we made many attempts to meet with you (and placed business cards in your door) and had several conversations on the phone with you. You must pay for a drain installation as discussed and we can't put drains in during Winter months. You were suppose to put topsoil in your garden area and do plantings. This area was not a part of any contract and we would never place grout there. You gave us an A RATING and now an F rating makes no sense.

The front lawn was in very poor condition due to the winter weather and over time, most of the dirt washed away leaving very unlevel areas and sections where water just sat and it did not drain properly. I called Gilroy Northeast upon all the recommendations I read on Angie's List, and I came away with the same conclusion, I found them to do: An excellent job, having excellent customer service and extremely focused on customer satisfaction. When I called Gilroy I spoke to Lois to explain my situation regarding the front lawn. She was very knowledgeable, got back to me instantly with a date that John Gilroy could go out and look at my front lawn. He was there within a day or so, and immediately relayed to Lois what was needed, trucks of dirt, top soil and seed/hay to bring the lawn back to normal. He also mentioned that he needed to regrade the land so it would be level and would make sure it sloped properly so that if it rained, the water would drain properly. I was very impressed by the level of professionalism given, I had a contract with sketch via email the next day, instructions on how to take care of the lawn once they were done, a follow-up to make sure everything was acceptable to my satisfaction, as well as a file created by Lois on my property so any future questions or concerns I had, they would know immediately what I was referring to for future. You can easily see, their focus was excellent customer service and after speaking with John, they take alot of pride in their work. I will definitely use them going forward for any work that I will have on my home. Lois is excellent, very knowledgeable and offers any assistance and advice she can give even if it pertains to something they are not directly involved in, they know the value of customer focus. John gives advice and thinks out of the box, you give him a suggestion of what you would like, he comes back with ideas to make things more aesthetically pleasing, so they make you feel very confident, this duo team knows exactly what to do. It is very comforting to know you can turn to someone who cares and wants to do a great job for you. I have called others in the past, and not one has responded so efficently and did such an excellent job as Gilroy Northeast, I am happy I found them and I'm sure you will be too.
Description of Work: Put in a new front lawn, regraded land and excavated headwall area in order to allow for proper drainage of water, which clogged and eroded over the winter.

Worked with architect Mike Gable and prepared site for drainage improvement. Driveway area was excavated and trenched and pipe was installed as per approved drainage plan. All materials were disposed of in accordance with PA Deps Solid Waste Management regulations. Job was done in a timely and clean manner. We would high recommend this company and appreciate all their good work.

The project started off well. Gilroy was quick to provide a quote and quick to start. They completed the job on time. I would make sure to have drawings so that there is no mis-communication on scope of work as with any project, there can be differences in what is expected. Gilroy was not willing to make many compromises even if it was with a change order. The professionalism went down-hill as the project wrapped up. Too bad as I was hoping to use them again.

Safety and Regulations involving wet lands and waterways is first priority with Gilroy Northeast and it is imperative that we follow building codes, including following the rules and regulations of the conservation district as well as DEP waterways department even if the client insists on a Change Order. [Member Name Removed] was absolutely lovely to deal with however understanding is imperative that strict conservation regulations must be followed in waterway areas. Unfortunately we can't always make change orders because of these strict codes for lake conservation.

I can't possibly speak highly enough about Lois and John of Gilroy Northeast. Service was professional, finished on time, and reasonably priced. You get every penny of what you pay for. As a bonus, Lois takes care of 100% of the headache surrounding any sort of permitting you might need.
Description of Work: Various Jobs: - Prepped job site (40ft x 60ft): Cleared trees, filled in holes, leveled, and packed. - Layed stone and cement floor in pole-barn. - Layed stone for 50ft driveway. - Ran water and electric trances from house to polebarn. - Used excess dirt to create fill piles for future use.

They showed up on time. They were really friendly and great. It was typically two guys that came, however on the days they needed a larger crew, they would bring out more guys. The biggest thing that I was impressed with was that they handled all the permits for my area. They did an absolutely beautiful job at a really reasonable rate, especially considering the economy! I will definitely be using them again in the future.
