The best. Gilmar is invested in your success. Nobody compares.
Gilmar and his crew were excellent. They were on-time, polite and personable. They came highly recommended and built my large front porch addition. The quality and craftsmanship were beyond expectations. Throughout the project he and his crew recommended changes that improved my overall project greatly. They finished on-time and on budget. Outstanding
Of the many decisions to be made on a building project, the best decision I made was working with Gilmar and GB Framing. As a homeowner embarking on my first addition project to my home, Gilmar has been the perfect partner to help me understand what needed to be done and the best way to do it. Gilmar has been readily available to answer my endless questions and has provided great guidance and suggestions throughout the project. I never had to chase him down or wait days/weeks for answers. Gilmar has also been communicative throughout the project keeping me updated on the progress and looping me in for any decisions that had to be made along the way. Gilmar’s crew was great and did really great work in my home tying in the old with the new and making it look seamless. The quality of work and the timelines they kept were exceptional. If I ever do any building work in the future, my first call will be to Gilmar and GB Framing because of the outstanding work and experience I had working with them on this project.
Gilmar and his team did an amazing job on our deck. They were always on time and very responsive. I would highly recommend using them for any of your contracting needs
A fantastic experience, they did major renovating and rebuilding of my house. Great value, hard workers provided a very high quality house upgrade. Best contracting experience, I highly recommend them and would use again!
