Bathroom Remodel
We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Cecy on our bathroom renovation. We recently purchased an older home that has a lot of charm—but also plenty of quirks—and Cecy was amazing at helping guide us through the entire process. As both a general contractor and someone with a great design eye, she helped us navigate decisions that could have easily felt overwhelming and brought thoughtful solutions that worked beautifully with the character of the house.
Cecy’s team was also wonderful to have in our home. Every member of her staff was incredibly sweet, kind, and hardworking.

I highly recommend Cecy and her team. She is professional, efficient, cost conscious, organized and has a great eye for design and attention to detail. She remodeled our basement area into a home gym including flooring, HVAC, paint, and lighting. We couldn’t be happier!

Cecy and Team were very professional, detail oriented, and communicative. The team was able to rectify a prior contractor’s mistakes while strategically approaching our project in an effort to maintain the integrity of the bathroom’s correct areas. The team also helped us to understand the financial situation of the corrections beforehand and as the project progressed. I would def trust Cecy and Team to work on any area of my home because I know the work will be done correctly and will be finished in a beautifully detailed manner!

Cecy and her team did a full bathroom renovation and bedroom face lift for the master suite in our home. The renovation included window replacements and the installation of new lighting and plumbing fixtures requiring significant electrical and plumbing rework in addition to the carpentry and tile work. They were cost effective, professional, skilled at problem solving and attentive to our needs. Cecy provided invaluable advice toward the various design decision we needed to make and was very efficient in developing and executing the actual renovation plans and work. The team maintained a clean and orderly work environment and there was little disruption to our daily lives while the project was underway.

Cecy handled a full renovation of our new home, including three new bathrooms, a finished basement, a new office space, and a wide range of additional improvements. She brought strong ideas to the table and connected us with skilled professionals throughout the process. She collaborated smoothly with our architect and interior designer, which made the entire project run far more efficiently.
Her crew was courteous, friendly, and consistently helpful. They kept the workspace clean and showed real attention to detail in everything they did. Cecy was responsive to any concern that came up, and when we hit roadblocks, she quickly found practical workarounds to keep things moving. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again on future projects.

We have worked with Cecy Gillen Designs on three home renovations (our primary bathroom, installing a mudroom, and installing a laundry room with cabinets and shelving) and we cannot recommend Cecy and her team highly enough. She has an excellent eye for design. Every time we present her with an idea, she internalizes our vision and improves upon it with her own great ideas. She responds to our questions and concerns in a timely manner and her team is efficient and friendly. We look forward to working with Cecy Gillen Designs on future home improvements.

Bathroom Remodel
If you are looking to remodel your home, and are seeking an excellent contractor, look no further. My husband and I were looking to remodel two outdated bathrooms in our home. We felt totally overwhelmed with all the decisions we had to make—picking tile for walls and floors, fixtures, tubs, toilets, etc. Hiring Cecy Gillen Designs to remodel our two bathrooms was the best decision we made! Cecy is an amazing designer! When my husband and I had trouble finding tile we liked, she offered to come shopping with us. She spent hours with us at tile and bathroom stores, helping us choose coordinating tiles for our shower walls, floor, and niche. She understood exactly the style and mood we were going for and helped us execute our vision. Cecy’s crew were always polite and professional. They did a beautiful job and were clearly very skilled. Our bathrooms turned out AMAZING and we couldn’t be more pleased. I recommend Cecy Gillen Designs for any remodeling project you may have.

Cecy and her team are amazing. Cecy herself has a great eye for design, is extremely professional, super responsive and most importantly treats your project as if it were her own. Her team is extremely hard working and has great attention detail; they went above and beyond at every step of the process. I cannot recommend Cecy highly enough.

I highly recommend Cecy and her team. From start to finish they were professional, honest, punctual, and had great attention to detail. When unexpected challenges arose, Cecy proactively brainstormed for creative alternatives to present to us that still maintained our overall goals. Her exceptional organization really helped the process not feel overwhelming. She closely monitored the costs of the project and always sent detailed invoices and progress updates. We highly recommend Cecy Gillen Designs and will be doing another project with her soon.

We used Cecy and her team in 2023 for a bathroom and kitchen remodel. Couldn't be happier with the results. Her flooring team is quite talented. They had a very difficult ask with regards to the wide plank pine in our kitchen. The end result is exactly what we had hoped for. Also, her team is very professional and trustworthy.

Cecy and team were professional and skilled. The team renovated a primary bathroom, moving a wall as well as installing a new shower, tub, flooring, and lights. There were some delays in the project but Cecy took ownership of the issues that arose and was a professional in addressing them to our satisfaction. We will definitely be using them again in the future for other projects.

Cecy and her team are fantastic! Extremely professional, and very attentive to detail. She ensures her clients get exactly what they want, and the pricing is very reasonable. Her team designed and built an additional lower-level bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. They also painted several rooms, fixed some work that was done by a previous contractor, and added a support beam to our deck. The quality of work is extremely high. I can't recommend her and her team highly enough!
