# Gilchrest Construction

**Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 63 Gully Ln, Sandwich, MA 02563 · **Phone:** (508) 292-2447 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 2 sources.

## The honest read

Gilchrest Construction’s small public trail is focused on tricky residential structural work rather than quick cosmetic jobs. In a 2022 Google review, a homeowner said Damon and his crew finished a large enclosed porch and tackled major basement support work in an older, repeatedly remodeled house; the homeowner praised the workmanship, schedule, site cleanup, and absence of price surprises.

A 2021 homeowner described major foundation and building-structure repairs, including floor leveling, and later a deck installation. That customer said Damon and Kyle communicated closely through the work and highlighted the deck’s quality. Google lists a 5-star average from four ratings, while the two available written accounts date from 2021 and 2022.

The detail in those jobs makes Gilchrest a plausible call for a homeowner facing structural repairs, enclosed-porch work, or a deck project. Ask about the proposed scope, structural approach, schedule, and price in writing, especially since the available written customer accounts are several years old.

**Strengths:**
- Structural repairs — detailed praise for complex older-home work
- Clear communication — homeowner cited close coordination during floor leveling
- Deck installation — 2021 homeowner praised the finished deck

**Concerns:**
- Dated written history — available detailed reviews are from 2021–22
