Google5Tom replaced the rim joist + sill plate underneath the doors of my house. He was quick to respond to my calls/texts, and did an excellent job detailing out the work required. He didn't cut corners and we are very satisfied with the work that he did.

Google1Tom showed up on time for our scheduled meeting. We talked about the work I want it done for our front porch extension. He knew what he was talking about but when I asked him if he can give us 0% financing since it was a big job, he hesitantly said yes. So we left it at that and he told me he would email me an outline of the project in the coming days. Right after the meeting I emailed him if he can just add a roof on our current porch and also replacing our door to make the job smaller and see if we can afford it. I also left him a message for an update but he never called me back nor replied. He might been busy at that time but a simple message would have been appreciated that he is no longer interested, then I can understand. I thought highly of him because of the reviews given about his work but I just did not like how he ignored me after and I just wanted to share my experience.

Google5Tom of Gizmo Home Craft remodeled 2 bathrooms and my kitchen with new cabinets and counters in 2013. Also I had the house painted, new floors and new light fixtures installed. I so loved the work done in true craftsman style, I called Tom to do replace my driveway as well as a do a few other projects in 2014. I was again very pleased with the work, but Tom felt that the driveway did not live up to his standards. I thought it did and a number of my neighbors complemented on how nice it looked. True to his high standard Tom replaced the driveway at no cost to me. This demonstrates Tom's dedication to his customers and to his personal integrity. I highly recommend Gizmo Home Craft without a moments hesitation. Tom is a true Old World Craftsman and you will be very pleased with his work.

Google5Tom and his team replaced nearly all of our windows, fixed the flashing on our roof, replaced cracked cedar siding, installed new gutters and all at a very reasonable price. They were professional, efficient and the quality of their work was exceptional. Tom took great care to make sure every project was completed properly. We were very pleased with their work and wouldn't hesitate to hire Gizmo Home Craft again.

Google5We originally hired Tom to fix someone else's "repairs": smooth out the bumpy drywall, fix cracks and patch a few holes left behind. The work was done quickly, quietly -- and very clean! Normally, I know I have to take a day off to clean up after the crew, but not here! We were so impressed with the work that we hired Tom's crew to take care of big jobs, like re-roofing and replacing windows, and small jobs, like installing a light fixture. We look forward to working with him!

Google5We had been searching for quite awhile for new siding. I had many quotes but was not given a very detailed description as to what work would exactly be done. I finally used a friend's Angie's List account to look at the ratings of each company rather than just go by the flyers and the list of references each company gave. At the top of the "ratings list" was Gizmo Home Craft. Not only did he go over the types of siding that he provided but gave a recommendation as to which he felt best for our home... and why. We chose the James Hardy cement siding. It was clear from the start of the work that the Gizmo crew knew what they were doing and had pride in their work. They kept the work area and driveway clean and neat each day. We had put up some outdoor speakers which The Gizmo crew needed to take down to do their work. Not only did they reinstall the speakers, but they ran the cabling behind the siding... which looked far better than any effort my husband and I had made in the original installation!! This is just an example of their attention to detail. In addition to siding, we needed a new skylight... which another vendor had decided not to change out when we purchased a new roof. (Made his quote lower) Big mistake. Again, Tom gave me the straight scoop on how a new skylight by Velux could solve the mold problem that was taking place on the inside of the house around the sky light. Tom's team removed the old and in doing so was able to take all the "bad stuff" out and install a beautiful new Velux sky light that has worked fantastic. I didn't even need to paint the inside of the home!! (I definitely thought I would need to!) I had all this work done last fall. Both the James Hardy siding and the Velux skylight made it through the winter without any problem... except for what the spring birds have left!!! (This has washed off easily!) We are so happy with Gizmo Home Craft, I have already called them back to complete a few more projects this spring. I will trust future projects to Gizmo Home Craft because they educate me on the right products, they offer ideas which I may not have thought of, and I know the job will be done with high standards and the work is quality. I encourage everyone to ask for a quote from Gizmo Home Craft

Google1Called them up for estimate for hail damage. The guy wouldn't even show up without me agreeing to sign up a contract to do negotiations with the insurance company on my behalf. I said no and that was the end of the conversation. Beware of them. Typical storm chaser!

Google5We initially hired Gizmo to update our bathroom based on a recommendation from our son-in-law, who had both his basement and kitchen remodeled by Gizmo. They were dependable, knowledgeable and professional. We felt comfortable leaving the workers alone while we were not home. After each workday they cleaned up all of their mess.The bathroom turned out gorgeous - better than we could have imagined. Tom Debski brought additional and helpful ideas to the project which complimented our design ideas. My husband is a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to remodeling and he was extremely satisified with the whole process. After the bathroom was completed we hired them again to repair our roof. It is a large flat top roof and they replaced it and installed new insulation as well. Again they did an exceptional job. We highly recommend Gizmo for your home repair needs.
Review from Laura H.
Angi4The work was done well but I felt we payed way too much for what he did. Not that I'm an electrical expert. My biggest issue was that we called him 2-3 times this year when we needed additional work done, and we never once received a response from him. We finally went with a different provider. Services Rendered: Various electrical repairs including the garage door keypad, fixed cross-wired ceiling fans.
Review from Roza K.
Angi5Considering the winter season, everything went smoothly and the project was completed on time and within budget. Tom was a pleasure to work with and was very attentive. Tom created a new house design we really liked and were excited to implement! I never had issues getting my questions addressed and the entire process was very smooth. Services Rendered: We had hail and tree damage on our house and roof. Gizmo's did the following work on our house: create a new design for the exterior of our house tear off and install new roof remove old windows and replace with new prairie style windows bump out new kitchen window tear off aluminum siding and install James Hardie fiber cement siding creating a new two tone color scheme tear off old gutters and replaced with new gutters remove old front porch posts and replace with newly designed posts install new front porch lights, coach lights, and rewired inside switches install new garage door
Review from VICTORIA P.
Angi5Very good job. Everyone was communicative and quick and the price was fine and we're all good to go at home once again. Couldn't be happier. I'll try to write a separate review under the company name for Certified Doors, too, but in general this is the second time we've used Gizmo and it has worked out wonderfully for us. Services Rendered: We came home Saturday night to find the dbl-wide garage door broke on us due to a snapped spring. I sent an email to Tom Debski at Gizmo and he called me back, even though he was sick, on Sunday and basically referred our case out to a company he trusts for the work, Certified Doors. The certified guy, Walter, called me later on Sunday and confirmed an appointment for this morning. His staff guy showed up on time and worked quickly and got it all squared away for the quoted price (two spring replacement and install w/5 year warranty). We're back to normal around here fast and easy and for a fair cost.
