We were very satisfied with our latest (second) experience with Gikas. Our Project manager Ilkan was extremely concientious and even reached out several weeks after completion to complete a minor follow up request.

Enjoyed working with Alex on our recent exterior house painting and repair project. Excellent communication and craftsmanship. George is a legend and he knows all of the houses in town. Fair price and prompt service.

Alex and his team were excellent throughout the entire process of repainting our wood siding. They paid attention to detail and came back to fix some spots that needed touching up. Would definitely recommend.
