On recommendations from Angi, I hired Gary to do a complete bathroom remodel. The 2-3 week job turned into a 5 1/2 month nightmare. There are still unresolved issues concerning the tub, toilet, floor and wall tile, shower rod, vanity, shower and sink faucets--not to mention my hall and living room hardwood floors scratched and gouged by his boxes and equipment. Gary's most egregious act was installing unsealed concrete floor tile. He was advised on the sealing process, but ignored the instructions. He installed the tile anyways. The stained, dirty tiles were inspected by 2 prominent restoration companies, who were unable to clean the unsealed tiles. They were jackhammered out, and replaced by ceramic tile. (crooked and not level). This debacle added several weeks to the project. Gary has ignored my calls and texts to honor our written contract. I had to pay a plumber and electrician to correct his shoddy work. Obviously, Gary takes no pride in his workmanship. He is hot headed (stormed out the door and returned days later), sarcastic, doesn't clean up after himself, uncommunicative, (doesn't return calls/texts in a timely manner), and, as in the example above, cuts corners. I could go on and on, but do yourself a favor, and hire a contractor who believes in delivering quality work.

Gary was great to deal with. I couldn’t get anybody to return my calls, Gary was very responsive and completed the job in one day. Gary had a great personality and was very professional. I will be recommending Discount Home Services to all family and friends.

We are very pleased with the work that Gary did. He was respectful of my house and environment and always went above and beyond! Example: he’s was here when the pipes froze in our MIL apartment ( we were on vacation) and he stepped in to repair the pipes for us immediately so my 90yo mom wouldn’t be inconvenienced. Another time our dog locked herself in my bedroom and thank goodness Gary was here to get her out! I appreciated that Gary did almost all of the work himself so we didn’t have multiple subcontractors in our house during the pandemic. We were so happy with his work and work ethic that we had him remodel another bathroom. I’m positive we will be calling Gary again for our next project.

We are so happy with Gary and crew! Gary was very responsive. Quoted the job quickly, and was here in a matter of days. We will hire them again for future work, for sure.

Gary is the best and he takes a lot of pride in his work. First of all, he was able to get me on his schedule very quickly. He basically rebuilt most of the floor in the master bedroom of my Ferndale house. Old subfloor and rotted joists were removed and replaced by new wood supported on solid concrete. He also added insulation and brand new flooring. It was a huge project. Gary took a loose and bouncy floor and made it rock solid. He was careful to show updates on progress and explain everything that was happening. He took extra care to make sure the job was done to perfection. I plan on hiring Gary again!

We were extremely happy with Gary and Shawn's work. Everything was completed on schedule even with the little extras that cropped up during the project. I appreciate Gary's expert advice when we ran into these issues. They were able to take an outdated 40 year old home and renovate it to look new. They were both extremely professional and we actually missed their company when they were done. I would highly recommend Discount Home Services to anyone looking for a company to perform home services. Before Gary left we asked for bids on some additional future work. Thanks Gary and Shawn for the great work and sorry for taking awhile to post this review.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Discount Home Services. From the start, Gary demonstrated the highest degree of integrity on the project scope of work, cost and time-frame. The quality of work was EXCEPTIONAL and the customer service was ABOVE-AND-BEYOND. Gary is very knowledgeable and is a seasoned contractor/builder. He was a pure joy to work with, always looking out for our best interest; he was professional, creative, detailed oriented and fast – an incredible craftsmen. Gary actually made what is normally a stressful process, very fun. Our project (like many, I assume) presented some unforeseen challenges, and Gary worked with us to ensure things got done within our budget and within our time-frame. Gary was also patient and flexible as our renovation expanded in scope and he was always available to offer suggestions, opinions and cost effective solutions. Throughout the renovation, Gary was available pretty much 24/7 to answer our questions and was in contact with us daily regarding schedule changes and length of stay on the job. The finished project is fantastic, we already received many compliments about the quality of work. If you are looking for a contractor that is on time and on budget, that cares deeply about craftsmanship, customer service, and is a pleasure to work with, look no further. We highly recommend Discount Home Services, and we are confident that if you hire Gary, you’ll never look for another contractor. Kellie and Giorgio

A couple of years ago our 15 year old landing was sinking. Gary came out, looked at it and then using imagination and inventiveness found the solution and he propped it up, After 2 years the landing still looks like it did when it was new: perfect. Thank you for an impressive job.

Our master bath remodel with discount home services exceeded our expectations. The project went smoothly, the time and cost estimate were right on target. The guys were consistently punctual and worked hard every day. They are considerate, dependable and honest. We added in a few extra requests along the way which they accommodated. We are extremely happy with our final results. We highly recommend them!

Gary and his team completed a major renovation on our home in Clarkston, MI and we are thrilled with the results! Gary is incredibly hardworking and friendly. He is very easy to talk to and we always felt very comfortable with him in our home. We knew nothing about renovating a home and Gary was very informative and helpful along the way. Gary is very knowledgeable in completing large renovations and can do anything from plumbing to electrical work, but he is also very detailed and proficient when completing tedious projects like laying tile. Gary has gone above and beyond and has come out to our house after the renovation to complete small projects to make our home perfect. He is very reliable and can be reached via email, call or text. We are very grateful for everything that Gary and his team has done to make our home special. We will definitely be using Gary for future projects. We highly recommend Gary and his team. Some of the things that Gary and his team have done for us include: · Renovating the entire kitchen · Renovating our staircase · Laying hardwood floors throughout · Hanging crown molding throughout · Interior painting and painting the garage · Replacing all interior light fixtures · Replacing all interior doors and hardware · Installing bathroom vanities and replacing all toilets · Making cutouts in our home for larger windows

Gary did an excellent job installing crown in my livingroom. There were a few difficult cuts required around the stone fireplace that he performed beautifully. He also installed recessed lighting in the livingroom and kitchen. He was professional and pleasant to work with.

Gary was very professional. He was clear about the work he planned to do, showed up on time and made me feel comfortable that the work was getting done properly. He gave us a timeline for completion and stuck to it. We liked his work and professionalism so much that we have asked him back to do another job for us.

We wanted a second bathroom in our one bathroom bungalow. Every quote we received was way too high until we called Gary. He gave us a fair price and did all of the work from start to finish. This saved us so much time juggling between businesses to get the job done. The quality of work was beyond our expectations. Gary was very professional and we were surprised how fast he got our bathroom done. Our basement started as a useless concrete room to a luxurious bathroom for a great price. Gary went above and beyond during his work. He pointed out some structural issues and was able to fix them. He is very honest and will do great work. We will definitely call him back and recommend him to anyone. Thank you!

Gary and his assistant were professional and did very nice work. They were thorough in cleaning up after the job was complete. We were very pleased and asked them to come back to do some additional electrical work (bathroom fan install and wiring for the TV).

Great! Gary came on time and on the day discussed. He preformed the work with detail and care. He explained everything and was very helpful! He cut our countertop and cabinet to convert from cooktop to slide in stove. He also put a gas line in and converted the electric to appropriate voltage.
