Gavin is very personable and I enjoyed the experience; it was a joy to have him work for me. He definitely goes the extra mile for his customers. I only gave a 4.5 on value for money because I always think I have to pay too much for everything these days. However, all the quotes I received were in the same ballpark. I am so glad I chose Gavin - I had a gut feel about him and I was right.

Do not use Gavin to do any work on your home. He will not warranty anything he does when it falls apart, and it will. Not only that, he won't even return your phone call/emails. Do not let him paint!! His painting is terrible, and he thinks he knows what you want better than you do. If you do decide to let him paint, buy your own paint. Contrary to what he says, he uses the cheapest paint that doesn't last.
Response from Gavin's Home Improvements and Handyman Service
"Contrary to what this customer has posted. They had very high remarks about the job performed and had no issue with paying the full invoice at the job completion. As for the painting, I was hired to rebuild and paint their kitchen cabinets. The lower units were to be Chelsea Grey and the top units were to be Dove White. (Based on a picture they looked at on their phone and refused to allow me to paint a small sample section to ensure they would really like the colors as i had explained that a cell phone will not give a good representation of the final product.) Once i had completed the painting the customers were at first happy with their color choice but the next morning when I arrived the decided they wanted to change the upper cabinet color to Pure White. I repainted the cabinets at no additional cost to make sure my customers were happy. The next morning I arrived and found that the customer attempted to install the cabinet doors and in the process heavily scratched the fresh paint job. I explained that they didn't not follow instructions and allow the paint to cure which is very different than just being dry. And as for my paint of chose it is Behr Premium Ultra so if they feel that I use the cheapest stuff around I implore them to do a little homework on paint and see how Behr products stack up against others. Even though I originally quoted them to do the entire job myself they decided to tackle most of the project themselves with the exception of the painting. But as the customer did not follow my recommendations or the product recommendations on curing time and then attempted to install doors and hardware on the cabinets only after a few hours after painting because they wanted to hurry up and get it done They damaged the freshly painted cabinets and expected me to fix their mistakes for free. They should have just let me do all the work and then I would have been fully responsible for the job. But they did not heed the recommendation of myself or the product instructions and now in turn want to blame me for their mistakes. I have many other reviews on here and pictures posted that show my quality of work and many from repeat customers. And as a business you don't get repeat customers by doing work that this gentleman is describing."

Gavin was prompt in returning my call. I had a long list of projects that needed completion and he was up to the task for all of them. Friendly, courteous, on time, and respectful of my limitations as an older person. I would highly suggest enlisting him for handy work and will likely call again.

I hired Shutters by Design to install new porcelain tile in my spare bathroom. Gavin came out to give me an estimate the same day that I called him to inquire about his services. Within 3 days I had my new bathroom floors, and they look amazing! Him and his crew were very courteous and extremely professional. My wife was also very pleased that they cleaned up so well! Happy wife, happy life right?!?! I got Gavin to give me quotes on other work that I need done, I will definitely be using Shutters by Design for my master bath upgrade and new kitchen cabinets!

I hired Gavin to replace a damaged fence. He was very professional and knowledgeable about my project. His final price even came in lower than his quote. I would highly recommend Gavin to everyone.

I walked the project with Gavin explained what I wanted, I asked him if he had ever did a job like this, his reply was yes. The job consisted of pulling old fence post and installing new one and forming a 12 inch footing of cement at the base, plus extra cement for my drive way and next to my tool shop. He showed up with three inexperience worked and the hole job was a mess, I was and still am very, very disappointed with his work and attitude toward the customer. I strongly advise anyone not to hire this company for cement work, because you will be wasting your money.

I only called Gavin (Shutters by Design) one time. He arrived before the scheduled time, took his measurements and had an estimate available and emailed the same night. I am very pleased with my fence as well as his professionalism. I have the best fence on the block thanks to Gavin!!

I've tried finding someone to install gables in my house for 6 years and every one was to busy or never got back with me. Shutters by Design custom built the gables and installed them within a week. I could not be satisfied with Gavin's work & customer service.

Did more than I expected. he has good ideas and gives a good service. The final price came in lower than the estimate. I'm well pleased with the project which was a complete fence re-build.
