Gaspars has completed two projects for us. The first was conversion of a bathroom with an unused shower into a powder room with storage. The second was a major remodel of our ensuite bathroom, construction of storage for picture frames and large photographs, and replacement of the upstairs flooring and stairway carpet. The planning and design process is very thorough. Construction quality was excellent and if there were any problems they were quickly remedied. Gaspars is not the lowest cost contractor but they are totally reliable and fun to work with.

Gaspars may do quality work, but watch out for large bills for questionable and erroneous design work. I paid Gaspars nearly $1,000 for design work before terminating the contract. All I had hoped to do was retile my fireplace and add a small hearth to it. At our first meeting, I specified a dark gray matte finish tile. One of their designers suggested that instead of tile they could use a slab of quartz. I said that would be fine as long as the finish was the same. They left. The next thing I received was an $870 bill for design and feasibility. I was surprised, because I had not heard from them since our first meeting a week before. I reached out to them for an update. When they got back to me, they said all I needed to do was contact the designer to pick out a slab. I called the designer, who informed me that quartz doesnt work for fireplaces (the same designer who originally suggested quartz), and that I should choose a slab of granite. But granite is more costly and (more importantly) nothing like the dark gray matte finish I had asked for at the first meeting. I told him I didnt want granite, and that I would do research over the weekend regarding tile. When I sent him tile ideas, he said the tile I suggested wouldnt work, but he didnt offer any examples of gray matte tile that would work. I then received another bill for $122. Thus, Id spent $992 for them to design my project, and yet they hadnt yet helped me to even identify a tile in the color Id asked for at our first meeting. At this point, I was spooked by the lack of understanding and bad communication. Meanwhile, Gaspars asked me for an additional $1,500 deposit to continue their work. At that point, I saw nothing but red flags. I shared all of this with them, but no remedy was offered, other than that they agreed to stop work. I walked away from the money and from the project. They may do good work (I never got to find out), but I would not recommend Gaspars unless cost is irrelevant to you.

Gaspar’s is an amazing operation! Renovations are so costly and potentially stressful, but their expertise, thorough estimate planning and excellent team of people really made our renovation a fun and exciting process! We adore our newly improved home and felt like we were truly taken care of every step of the way. Gaspar’s is truly the best-you’ll be so thankful you hired them!!

The woman I worked with at Gaspars--Barbara--seemed genuinely uninterested in my business and disrespectful of my time. She scheduled an initial phone call with me in order to get un understanding of my project. Before the call she wanted me to send her a detailed email, with pictures, describing the work I was needing done--because in her words as I know, she is very busy and this will save time during our phone call (For the record, Barbara, no, I dont know that you are very busy because Im a potential customer and I dont keep track of your personal schedule). I had several projects so this took a good amount of my time, but I totally understand the need for it. On the day of our phone call, Barbara called late, hadnt read the detailed email I had sent her, and couldnt find it (you know, that email that she was going to read before our phone call to save us some time). She blew through the call, completely missing two of the projects listed in my email. The end result of our call? She may be able to get back to me with a quote later or may have to send someone out to my house to get a quote--and there is a charge for this because as Barbara repeatedly reminded me, they are a premium company. Barbara said she would call me the next day with more information. She never called, never emailed, never got back to me with a quote. I guess thats a good thing because it would have been a waste of time on Barbaras part (and as I know, she is very busy)--I went with another company that was more professional and responsive.

We could not be more thrilled with Gaspars Construction. They were the epitome of professional, on time, and on budget. I hear nothing but horror stories from friends who are remodeling their kitchens. That is the exact opposite of our experience. The entire team took their time to get to know us and help us figure out our priorities. They listened and created a design that fit our life and our savings account. Once the project began, we were given daily updates by our on-site lead and we had weekly meetings to discuss status, changes, and challenges. All of the members of the team were quick to respond to any and all of our questions (of which there were many) and concerns (of which there were few). Thank you to Isaac, Jen, Jonathan, Margaret, and everyone else at Gaspars for giving us the kitchen of our dreams and their ongoing support and service.

We booked Gaspars for a day of handy-man services, and after one reschedule on their part, they sent out Gabe. Who. Is. Awesome. Super friendly guy, and so good at what he does! In a single day he trimmed out an archway, hung a heavy punching bag, and patched a big hole in our garage ceiling, including taping. He pulled his van back up the garage and worked out of that and our garage floor. He managed to do in a day what would have taken us weeks to get done between work and parenting, and to a much higher standard. Was it expensive? Yes. Worth it? HECK YES. Im already thinking of other projects I will ask them to help me knock off the list.

I really tried to use this business, but after waiting two months for a phone call, the Rep. told me that she wasnt interested in my project to remodel a small bathroom and small kitchen with my $150, 000. budget before appliances. She said, they usually charge much more for a kitchen and a bath. I was really disappointed, especially since my work would have needed no outside financing. All my other estimated have come in around $100,000.00 and they were all willing to come to my fabulous little house overlooking downtown Seattle.

I had a great experience with Gaspars and will hire them again! I needed them to fix drywall that was removed for electrical work and do some related touch up painting. The fabulous repairman from Gaspars did all these tasks and more. I asked about some other repairs I needed done (boarding up a cat door, installing light fixtures), and he had the time and skills to do these things. We discussed costs, which were reasonable, and all is done! Skilled, friendly, professional.

The starting range for a small bathroom remodel was $50,000 - $100,000, with the reason being supply and demand. For a small 6x9 bathroom, this is a silly amount of money.

We have used Gaspar’s twice for major remodels. The first time, back in 2005, they were very good. This time, for our kitchen remodel, we thought they were *excellent*. The process throughout was thoughtfully and professionally managed.The design phase focused on formulating a plan that addressed our needs and “nice to haves”, while being respectful of, and honest about our budget. The combination of working with a designer who *listens* to you and a customer advocate who keeps things real when it comes to money is powerful and confidence-inspiring.The construction phase was equally well managed. We met weekly with the lead carpenter to assess progress, answer questions and make course corrections, which also inspired confidence. The quality of the work was top-notch, and it was on time. The project finished *literally* on the day originally projected by the plan. We couldn’t have been happier with our lead carpenter, who was skilled, diligent, honest, and on-point throughout.We can’t recommend them highly enough.

I have used their Handyman services for years so I decided to hire them for my complete kitchen remodel. The work and quality is great. Hopefully you end up with Trevor overseeing all the work, he takes pride in his work and does not miss a thing.

Weve used Gaspars handyman service for several years and have always been impressed with the professionalism of the team and quality of the work. So, when we decided to renovate our small wine room, we called Gaspars. From start to finish, the experience was positive - from design meetings with Jen, to pre-con meetings with Erica, to the day-to-day work of Severin - we were impressed with their professionalism and expertise. They treated our modest project with respect and patiently led us through our first-ever construction project. We are delighted with our new wine room and look forward to working with Gaspars again.

Gaspars did a great job with my living area remodel. Communication was always on point, and John did amazing and detailed work, even putting in hours on the weekends to make sure that the project was completed exactly on time!

Stop looking anywhere else! If you have art to hang call John. His superior knowledge, professionalism, quick wit and preparedness make him awesome. Dont waste time with someone who doesnt know exactly how to hang art - just call Jon. He hung two large, heavy, cumbersome pieces on old, plaster walls and know precisely how to handle it. He has the tools, equipment and material to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Hes the best.

Sarah Henry and her team at Gaspar’s Construction are the most creative, knowledgeable, and high integrity group I have ever met in the remodel industry. I’ve referred a number of clients to Sarah over the years and everyone has received individual attention, excellent customer service, and have been overjoyed with the completed work. Sarah is consistently on budget, on time, client focused and is always working to impress her clients. I can’t recommend Sarah Henry and her team enough for your remodeling needs.

We have used Gaspars on a number of difference occasions with two of their servicemen. We have been quite impressed with their operation. They show up on time, do what they promise, dont make a mess, are quite pleasant and do excellent work. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for higher end handyman services. They are professionals. We also plan to use them in the future as needs develop.

Used Gaspars to remodel our kitchen. It came in under budget and how often do you hear that on a construction project?We had interviewed about 6 or 7 different contractors (a couple of independent, a couple of design/build, a couple of vertically integrated companies) and felt that Gaspars had the right amount of expertise, communication and flexibility to work with us.And we were right! Gaspars built us a beautiful kitchen, most of the time, we knew what was going on with our project, and we were able to do some of the work ourselves!I am very pleased and whole heartedly recommend them to anyone!

We called Gaspars as we found a small leak in our 10 year old roof. They sent out their handyman and had it fixed before it rained next (those loving in Seattle know thats a quick turnaround). Way faster and far less money than a roofing company quoted us. Months later not a single leak!

This company runs employment ads in perpetuity, but despite being a journeyman I never get a call back. Dont know who makes the hiring decisions over there, but theyre pretty clueless... Good, talented people are hard to come by.*Perhaps thats why youre still looking. How has it been working out for you? Not to well, I see.Just a little professional consideration with a letter would go a long ways. But no, you resort to Google and keep people in the dark.

I greatly appreciated Severins work. Id been putting off some repairs since I bought my condo two years ago, and decided to call GSBA member Gasbars Construction when my cabinet doors started falling off their hinges. Severin found a few other legitimate problems that were threatening to cause injury - and fixed them in minutes. I was very pleased - nice guy, good value. Thank you.

Tim was my first handyman. I liked him. I wanted to use him the next time. I couldnt get him. They sent Justin. He was very slow. He was on my couch for six hours. I sat on my couch when he left and within ten minutes had excruciating leg cramps. I got welts and severe bruising on my legs. Im never using them again. Tims a great handyman so if you use them ask for Tim.

We used Gaspar Services for a french door installation replacement for a deck slider. Johnny was referred to us by Home Depot. Excellent service, attention to detail and he and crew cleaned up dust and debris at every step of the process. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

We just remodeled 2 of our bathrooms with Gaspars. The project was done on time (despite us adding on some work to the master bedroom to the original plan partway through), and was a bid price (plus cost of the add-ons we did), so coming in on-budget wasnt an issue for us. The quality of the work is high, and were really enjoying our new spaces. The price is probably a bit higher than others might charge, but you do get what you pay for-- quality construction and finishes done on time.We could easily stay in touch with our site manager (and the rest of the Gaspars team) via email and text, so it was very convenient to communicate with them about potential changes, issues, etc.Gaspars also helped us with the design process, helping us choose materials and doing drawings of how the new spaces would look, tile layouts, etc.They did a great job of keeping the rest of the house as clean and undisturbed as possible during the construction, and the construction area itself was always clean at the end of the day.

Review №33

Horrible company to hire. They over bid, over charge, and work slower then a sloth with tools bags on. If u want to pay 150k for a kitchen remodel that would normally cost you 80k, hire gaspars. Otherwise, do some serious research and get a few quotes from different companys first. All ur paying for is the builder trend application. Otherwise ur getting great design with poor quality of work while paying 98$ an hour . Good luck home owners, I hope this will help you avoid an ugly company.

As a homeowner of less than 10 years of a new construction, we have not had the need (yet) to take on any major renovation projects. That said however we have had a variety of handyman services out to the home to keep it looking new. Some were good, while others where less than desirable. Most recently we decided to give Gaspar’s a try following a friend’s recommendation, and we are certainly glad we did! The handyman turned out to be a handywoman (can’t recall her name unfortunately) and she did a superior job on a variety of tasks we required over the course of the 4 hours we paid for. She repaired an attic vent, a ding in some sheetrock, to include matching the paint and painting, and also replaced and painted some trim.The best part about the experience was everything looked new and matched after completed. Unlike some of the other reviews, I will not complain about what we paid because more importantly I realize the VALUE in a job well done the first time, which is exactly what occurred. You know the old saying, you get what you pay for!Thank you Gaspar’s for a job well done! I will not hesitate to use their ‘handyperson’ services in the future, and when we are ready for that big renovation, Gaspar’s will be the first call we will make!

Update: Sarah Henry personally called to address the situation. Im happy with the way she handled it and the resolution offered. Will use Gaspars again.---Gaspars bills for transit time to purchase replacement parts that they dont have on hand. I was okay with this until I discovered that the tech who handled my job billed for two hours she spent driving around town searching for a part that wasnt even stocked at the stores she checked.If replacement parts are necessary to complete a job, one would hope the tech knows exactly what they are and where they can be quickly and reliably obtained. If theres any doubt, parts should be secured ahead of time with a phone call. Since theyre unable to this, its the customer who pays for such iffy excursions.

Its been almost a year since weve completed our home remodel. It was major renovation, went down to 3 walls & added square footage. We hired Gaspars Construction to do the work. With all the horror stories we hear about construction companies, cost & timelines, we were concerned. However, the team at Gaspars were the utmost professionals. We had weekly in-person meetings to discuss the timelines, talk about any new items & the work for the following week. We also got weekly cost reports. People said our project would take 12-18 months. It was 6 months. Gaspars quoted us an end date. We had to push the date out by 4 days & we knew about it 3 months in advance! Their design team was fabulous too. We learned a ton. Got a beautiful, dream-come-true home. Every day we look around the house & smile. Thank you Gaspars. The only negative thing, we miss them!!!

This is who you call when sofyt remodeling work needs swift attention. Garpars works quickly and purposefully to meet deadlines. They take care of all the subcontactor scheduling and fuzzing. Thats whyyou pay them a 30% premium over subcontractor invoices, twice a normal contractor markup.
