I used Yelp for the first time this way and found Gally and his team. I wanted just my bathroom updated and I ended up adding a lot more . They completed; bathroom remodel, paint, electrical, bedroom closet, and floors in a 3 week timeframe. Now all but 3 rooms are completed in my 1100 square foot home and I've already asked them to come back and complete the other floors. They were done by the 4th of July just in time for my annual BBQ. I had family, friends, and neighbors stop by and even gave them Gally's contact info . I would highly recommend using them for ANY home project . Their work was awesome!!!! read more

See all

Found Center City Contractors on Yelp and chose to use them for the handrail installation project because they were available and gave a great price. The new handrails look awesome. We are glad that we chose to work with Gally, the owner, and his team members Will, Doug and Tony because the project required a great deal of meticulousness and patience. All of these guys are very respectful and good at what they do. Their design skills are terrific. From start to finish Gally made us feel secure and comfortable with the entire process. He was always available via phone, text, and would swing by if we had any questions or problems during the project. We know now whenever we need to install or upgrade anything in the house, we will call Center City Contractors. Terrific prices, terrific people, and even better work. read more

Center City Contractors - a staircase and railing - Painters Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I discovered Gally and his company, Center City Contractors through a Yelp search so I would like to relay my experience if you're going through a similar search for a total paint job, although clearly these guys perform multiple functions. CCC painted our entire new construction home: we used 3 colors and Gally and his team were helpful in sharing their experience with similar homes and expertise in paint color schemes. They did an excellent job: showed up on time, picked up the paint, were very friendly guys, and worked hard to finish the job around 3 days. Because we picked some bold colors for individual walls, there were some streaks after the job settled. Gally returned to finish the job making sure that his work was immaculate! I really appreciate that customer care touch. Being in a new home, I have some other very small, simple projects and I will be hiring Gally and his team as they are reasonably priced and awesome! Thanks guys. read more

Gally and Derrick were able to paint the walls of our dining room and living room in one day!! The price (without woodwork) was reasonable and the rooms look fantastic. Call them. read more

I was looking forward to discussing plans with this company but unfortunately, when I called, I was bluntly told they were busy and was promptly hung up on. Didn't seem a very professional way of dealing with a customer at all. read more

Gally was able to schedule me in very quickly for a relatively small job - installing an interior door in a weirdly shaped opening.There were some timing issues and he had to reschedule a few times, but he was mostly decent at communicating (although I was always the one who had to call or text first). We did finally managed to schedule a time less than a week from the original appointment, which is kind of amazing for a Philly contractor. Alex was great at figuring out how to make a standard door work in a non-standard opening and the work was done quickly and cleanly. They even painted the trim afterwards. I am very happy with the work that Alex and Gally did. I will be calling them again when I have something else that needs to be done in the house. read more

I rarely post reviews on Yelp but feel strongly that others should know my experience. I needed several rooms in my house painted in a relatively short period of time and called Galley and Center City Contractors based off of the Yelp review. He was relatively responsive and quoted what I thought was a fair price, and most important he was able to do the job in my tight time window. He said someone from his company would come out the next day, Alex. After a missed meeting, Alex came out and performed the job in 1 day. They did a pretty good job and finished the job roughly 90%. Two rooms needed another coat and some additional finish work was needed. Alex appeared friendly and flexible and I was not able to supervise this work but he claimed he finished the job and wanted payment, which we were happy to do. When we returned, we found out one of the rooms was incomplete - another coat was needed in about half the room and the trim needed to be finished. We called Alex who said he would come back out, but now 3 weeks later he still has year to return. He have called and made appointments, which he has completely blown off without calling and left me high and dry on more than one occasion. We called Galley who promised it would be taken care of, and havnt heard back from him either. We are pretty frustrated. I would say that the process was not smooth but the work that was done looked pretty good. Having said that, I am now going to have to finish the job myself which defeats the purpose of paying someone to do it in the first place. And it was not cheap. In addition they did not clean after themselves and left the place messy. He also ruined my paint brush. I wouldn't use them again for anything but if you did hire, just make sure not to pay until the job is 100% done. In fairness, the paint job that they did turned out nicely and they were able to help in my tough time window when others couldn't. They just blew it by not finishing and poor communication at the end. read more

I had to renovate my bathroom shower and called up to see if they could do the job. Gally and his crew were professional and finished on budget and especially on time!!! read more

I purchased a storm door and needed someone to do it within a short time line. I reached out to Gally and was able to set up a time within 48 hours. He arrived on time with one of his guys and was able to install the door within a few hours. The installation was a quality job and the price was also reasonable. I will be using Center City contractors again for the next tough job! read more

I have used their services to redo my floors in my new condo and it was a million times better than before. I was amazed with the work that was out into my floors. Well worth the money. read more

I recently purchased a new build house, and wanted to have it painted. The builder was charging a rather obscene amount, but thankfully I found Gally. He created a quote that was much better than my builder and used better paint. For anyone who has bought a new build home, you know that closing can be a moving target. Thankfully mine didn't shift, but Gally was great about staying in touch to make sure his team was ready to go as soon as I closed. Gally and Freedom did a great job!!! They were painting the whole house, so I knew it would take a bit, but they finished a full day early. I walked the house thoroughly, and the quality of their work is top notch. I can't say enough good things about these guys as I am thrilled with the results, and very happy with the cost. read more

Center City contractors has met my expectations and the quality of the work is above average. The communication is good overall happy with my completion of the project. There will be some delays with construction that is part of the business but this team pushes through and makes things happen thanks again. read more

As a Realtor, me and my clients used them and all the jobs have been great. Last job was a full rehab and we couldn't be more happy. Reliable, great pricing and quality work. I sold the house for them and they made a great profit. Center City Contractors under promise and over deliver. Keep it up guys! read more

We contacted Gally after discovering our furnace needed to be replaced (there were flames burning through the insulation on the side near the electrical cords posing a serious fire hazard). I have known for a while that it needed to be changed out, but the quotes we usually received for a furnace replacement ranged from $5-$6,000 from several different locations. It was an old house built in 1928, and I don't believe the furnace has ever been replaced, considering the service tags were from the 1960s. On a cold winter day (February 2015) it was apparent we couldn't wait any longer, and we called Gally and his crew. Since it was the middle of winter and high season with single-digit highs in temperature, they were unable to make it over to my house until later in the evening, but off the bat they gave me a price quote that was almost HALF the price of what other places wanted to charge me based on my descriptions. After Gally's guys came over to look over the old furnace, they told us they would return in the morning with a new one and start getting to work. The two guys showed up to the house at 11 AM that morning and they worked straight through until 10 PM that night! This was the first time I have ever seen contractors work so hard and diligently on the job. These guys are absolute professionals, as past experience tells me other contractors would have made me wait for another day for heat in this bitter winter and split the job up into two days. These guys stuck it through the entire day and after complete installation, spent an extra 30 minutes explaining to my mother and I exactly how the new furnace worked and how to best maintain it. Additionally, these guys noticed one of our tubular ceiling lights needed replacement and even replaced it for us before heading out. I am so pleased with the services they provided and their honest, hard-working attitude. I wish I found these guys sooner for all my other household renovation needs. I will definitely be referring Center City Contractors to all my friends and be using them in the future for any other renovation needs. read more

Painting job done in just 1.5 days. Did a great job and provided a great service for a competitive price. Showed up on time and were very friendly. I will use them again for painting services. Purchased paint and did all clean up plus they painted more for me at no charge! Thanks Galley and crew. read more

Center City Contractors were highly recommended to me by a friend that had her kitchen done by them. After meeting with Alex and Gally for an estimate I knew I would be happy working with them. They were so professional and they gave me such amazing ideas for my kitchen renovation. Ideas I hadn't even thought of doing. I heard back from them right away with a quote and a design for my kitchen which was so nice because other companies I met with prior to Center City Contractors took their good old time to get back to me. The price was right and the design they gave me was absolutely stunning, so I knew that I would be happy with them. Throughout the renovation process the communication was always right on point! They got back to me right away with any questions or concerns that I had. Renovating a kitchen can be very stressful and they really helped make the process stress free! Alex & Gally's team are such great workers! They all have such great craftsmanship, they are quick, and they always cleaned up after themselves every single time they were done working for the day. I never expected for my kitchen renovation to go so smoothly and I really owe it to Center City Contractors! They did such an amazing job and I couldn't be happier! They gave me my dream kitchen and I am so thankful that my friend recommended them to me! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for any home renovation! read more

This is my first yelp review, and I was hoping it would be on better terms. Alex and Gally are very friendly, but when it came time to completing the job in its entirety-- it was never done. Very disappointed since I was looking forward to working with them again. read more

Had these guys paint my entire house, do some finish carpentry, and a few other miscellaneous things for my rental property turn over. Galley and team went above and beyond!!!! I couldn't be more happy with the work. The price was fair. They were neat, tidy, and professional. They worked around other trades that had to come in, and the whole process was really seamless. I highly recommend them and will certainly be using these guys for future work. read more

Gally and the team are very professional and will do a great job for you. Gally himself is as honest as it gets and is truly about the customer. High quality and a fair price! read more

Too bad I didn't see the other Yelper's review first, before I expended a healthy dose of optimism on this place. For months I have been trying to find a reliable contractor to revamp my kitchen and complete a few small jobs that I have. I sent an email thru the compny's website and received a fairly quick response from Gally (which is where the good fortune began and ended), stating that Alex would contact me. After 2 weeks with no response (BS Flag #1),I contacted Gally once again. Alex finally called 2 or 3 days later. I explained the project and he scheduled a time to stop by for the estimate. After no less than 3 (I've lost count) appointments cancelled by no shows with no prior notice (BS Flag # 2), Alex finally showed up to assess the job. He gave me an estimate that was unbelievable (BS Flag #3) and offered good ideas, so I chalked the earlier displays of unprofessionalism to super busyness and decided to move forward with my project. We were both preparing for vacation, so we agreed to touch base afterwards. I called him on let's call it Day 1. No answer, so I left a voicemail. I gave him a day to return my call (which would be Day 2. Nada (BS Flag #4). I called again on Day 3 (and yes, left yet another voicemail). In response, he sent a text after 9pm, 12hrs following the 2nd call, to state that he had misplaced his phone, but didn't mention my project at all (BS Flag #5). Nonetheless, I expected a call the next day to arrange the start of my project, because afterall Center City Contractors is a business and businesses appreciate business, right? Not hearing from Alex by afternoon, I called once again and left a message (I know, sounds desperate right? If you had to live with an 80's nightmare of a kitchen, you would be too). NIL (AGAIN). BS Flag #6. And now I'm over it (I know you're thinking "FINALLY, JEEZ"). One last thought though on Alex the Not So Great: Reserve the avoidance for bill collectors and annoying 1st dates. If you're going to be considered an employee and if you're going to consider this your profession, than you should actually WORK and display professionalism, otherwise do us all a favor (potential customers that is) and take a permanent vacation. Good riddens. read more
