He's extremely friendly, polite, and you can tell he cares about the work he does. Thanks Dave! We will reach out if any future projects come up.

He really takes pride in his work and the end result really showed. He was very detail-oriented which was perfect for me because I'm so picky. The end result was BEAUTIFUL! He is also an honest person and fair person and that was reflected in his pricing and how he interacts with people. My six year old would not leave him alone and he was so kind and patient with him. Instead of doing the bare minimum, he does the opposite. I felt like he went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the result. I HIGHLY recommend him as a carpenter, painter, or any type of handyman.

The level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride he puts into his work is apparent. He listened closely, offered thoughtful input, and executed everything with precision and care. The final result far exceeded my expectations, both in quality and overall feel of the space. l wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again on future projects. He is worth every penny, and then some. If you're looking for someone who truly delivers exceptional work, he's it.

I could go on forever about how wonderful Matthew is…read more I had mold in my attic so decided to have a pro take a look. I got multiple estimates, and Matthew was by far the best in all aspects. From the moment I contacted him, I felt at ease - he was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. He came out quickly for an inspection, and was concerned not just with remediating the mold (the reason I contacted him), but also finding the cause of the mold to ensure that we weren't back in the same situation. He explained things clearly, even drawing me a picture to help me understand, and was unbelievably patient with my countless rounds of questions. It was a no-brainer to hire him, and when it came time to do the work, he did not disappoint. He was accommodating of my schedule, even working through the weekend (the week of Christmas, no less), respectful of my home, and communicative throughout the process. Having workers in your home is stressful, but Matthew somehow made it actually enjoyable. I've worked with a number of contractors, and none compare to Matthew. He clearly cares deeply about his work and his clients. I cannot recommend him enough.

Not only did the build out take forever (7 months), but since picking up my van on my first/second use, I have had roof leaks because they didn't install the "C" gaskets right for the AC unit, I experienced multiple leaks in the pressurized plumbing system (see pictures below) which caused wood damage to the cabinetry due to poor PEX seals, I still have no relief from the misbehaving (and Rydawell recommended) Ecoflow electrical system, I discovered they failed to insulate the sliding door, they actually plumbed the gray water lines into the BOTTOM of the gray water tank using the same penetration point as the drain (this caused water to back up into the shower pan when using the sinks (not to mention it would fail completely in freezing weather) and I discovered that the Rixen heating system was installed against manufacturer recommendations (to name just some of the issues). This has caused me thousands of dollars to get repaired (so far) at another (competent) van builder. While his hourly rate may seem cheaper, it takes him much longer to accomplish work items. As an example, his quote to install a 2nd battery (which he was supposed to have left room for) was twice as long as I was able to get it done elsewhere by professional van builders.

Had a good experience initially with GKC consulting with a "temp" wall install earlier in August…read more2022. Based on that, I asked Anthony to come out and see if he could install a couple of dishwashers, and a garbage disposal at two of my properties. Communication was good via text leading up to the scheduling. I sent an email with details on the scope of work outlining details on the dishwasher and garbage disposal, along with addresses and tenant contacts. Confirmed pricing via text. Thought all was good to go. On the day of installation, I'm getting good updates throughout the day via text. I messaged Anthony that would circle back after inspecting the locations and talking with tenants after work. I received feedback from both tenants that the installation seems to be good, but after they ran their test runs there is excessive pooling of water in the bottom of the dishwasher and it is not draining. I reach out via text about the issue, and around the same time, Anthony asks about when payment will be complete. I called inquiring about the pool of water at the bottom of my tenant's dishwashers. This is where it goes downhill... long story short, here are my issues with the interaction during this final call with Anthony: 1. Anthony says to the effect that the excess water on the bottom of the dishwasher does not have anything to do with his installation. Apparently, he had left both properties, and he says "tenants were happy" and did not complete a full test run of the dishwashers since he did not want to "wait around an hour for them to run." This seems weird since the specific model dishwasher has a short 15-20 min quick rinse cycle. I explain to him my expectation was that he would complete an operational check of what he is installing to make sure it is operating okay. 2. We had agreed via email and text on pricing for the work, but I was now getting texts and an invoice that was more than originally quoted. I inquired as to why it was more and was told he quoted me for the installation of only two dishwashers, not the garbage disposal. So essentially, I'm paying extra for him not understanding the scope of work that he had already agreed to? 3. Anthony starts going off on a rant saying that I'm trying to cheat him and not pay, he then complains he was working on these installs from 8 am to 2 pm and had a lot of issues with the garbage disposal, etc. Continues to vent... when I interject and tell him he's not the only one that had a long day, and that it sounds like there were multiple layers of miscommunication. Overall, this round of service by GKC was sub-par. Anthony's lack of attention to detail in reading the scope of work contributed to the upcharge later, and his lack of follow through and patience to test and ensure proper operation of the dishwasher would've caught the water pooling and drainage issue. And finally, his unprofessionalism & lack of decorum during my phone call for just inquiring about the issues was the final nail in the coffin. I told him, he would get paid, but I would not be requesting any more work from him. I hung up and blocked him. Utter shame... I would've sent tons more work his way.

We wanted 2 custom projects for our home- to build a glass awning over our patio and to get outdoor…read morecustom gates built that would serve several functional requirements, as well as match the aesthetics and design of the new hardscape/landscape we were planning for the front, side and back yards in our home in Mercer Island. To find the right company to work with, we spent a good amount of time doing our research. First online, and then after shortlisting a few companies to talk with, we picked NGroupArt to work with. We had spent quite some time speaking with both Mike (project manager) as well as Elnur (architect and designer) to help them understand what we are looking for. Both Mike and Elnur worked very closely with us through the entire design process, which took quite a few iterations both because our design thought process evolved (as we were simultaneously converging on our landscape design, and the gate needed to match), as well as because our requirements and the dimensions of the driveway and the curbside (we are on a curved cul-de-sac) were tricky to make work and there were lots of design decisions that needed to be made. Elnur and Mike were absolutely amazing to work with. Rarely have we worked with a team that is so detail oriented, while being very thoughtful in their suggestions and patient through the entire process. And when the results came in! WOW! It was exactly what we had envisioned...only better! Below are some pictures that tell the story better! We have been recommending Mike and Elnur to all our friends who need gates, railings, or for that matter awnings also (see our other review for NGroupArt for the gorgeous awning they custom designed and engineered for our home).
