What Clients are Saying

September, 2023
Guy is unlike any contractor I’ve dealt with. Guy was constantly in communication with us giving daily or weekly updates on the current state of our basement project. At the beginning he told us the date the project would be complete, and even had it wrapped up a few days ahead of that. He was personally on the job site almost every day that work was done, even at times coming in early to lay down extra drop cloths or check with us to make sure colors were right and fixtures were going in the right place. He also has great connections. I was repeatedly impressed by his teams of subcontractors who were all polite, clean, and punctual. Most importantly, it turned out great! We love our basement!

Thank you so much for creating a fun and practical space for the kids and I to enjoy! Your experience and insight helped me make several decisions that were the right decisions! I appreciated your responsiveness, professionalism and care for our home during the construction. Your subs were friendly, clean and courteous.

I absolutely recommend you and your firm.

Working with GCM was an absolute pleasure. Every person was kind and nice to be around. It felt like family coming in and out of your house all day instead of strangers. As far as the work goes, they did an amazing job. Guy worked with our needs and wants and built us a place where we want to actually spend time. If the work wasn’t absolutely perfect, they would do it again. We have never done a home project before and Guy gave us the direction and guidance we needed. I’d hire GCM to do any project in my home.

We are so happy with the job that GCM completed for us! Guy is the most professional contractor we have ever worked with and simply did a great job. The site was left clean daily, I was kept up to date on status, and everything was completed in a timely manner. Guy also provided extremely valuable advice through the project and did everything with a remarkable level of quality. We would recommend GCM to anyone and look forward to working with them again.

Finished Basement

Tejas in Northbrook

Excellent! Guy and his team are true professionals who take pride in their work. From start to completion, Guy was very organized, communicated regularly with us about the schedule, the deliverables, and the decisions we needed to make to ensure the project met our expectations and was completed on time. After the demolition phase, we encountered some structural engineering issues in the basement. Guy quickly put us in touch with structural engineers, he bid out the project, and we were able to solve the problem and stay on track. In addition to his technical know-how, Guy and his team partnered with us in designing a basement that met all of our needs — a fun and stylish space for our teens to hang out in, while providing functional design and modernizing the space with updated electrical, gas fireplace, and LED lighting. In addition to the amazing finished product, we appreciated Guy’s work ethic. He and his team were always on time, and made sure the work progressed every day so we avoided any down days. Guy was a wonderful partner in this project, and we highly recommend him!

Complete gut and rehab of our basement for house built in 1920.

Erin in Evanston

Though the project was delayed by the Pandemic, Guy Hincker and his crew were able to complete the remodeling in a timely manner.  All of the old cabinets were removed and the site cleaned in preparation for the installation of our new cabinet’s. Prior to the installation of new cabinets, new recessed lighting was installed which vastly improved the overall lighting.

We found Guy and his crew easy to work with!  He was very responsive to our phone calls and either answered immediately or before the end of the day.

They cleaned up at the end of each day and removed the garbage in a timely manner.

Our remodeled kitchen meets and exceeds our expectations.  We heartily recommend GCM and Guy Hincker to do your remodeling job!  He was easy to work with, did outstanding work and was only satisfied when we were satisfied.

Deciding to remodel your basement is a great step. It will provide you with hours of enjoyment, reclaim wasted living space AND add to the value of your home. The next step in the process is deciding who you want to do the job. Trusting the wrong firm to do the job can be a nightmare. I’ve seen the kind of work some companies try to pass off and it’s really bad. At G.C.M. Construction you have my personal guarantee that we will treat your job with the utmost care and professionalism. I want you to tell everyone who you invite into your home who did such a great job on your new basement. That means the world to me. If it’s not perfect, I’m not happy.

Guy is very creative, honest and responsive. He stays on top of the project and the contractors and he works as hard as he is able to make sure the project goes as planned. He hires excellent subcontractors. We are very happy with our basement. We would hire GCM again in a heartbeat.

 can’t speak more highly about Guy and his professionalism. Have you ever said you just wish you could find a great contractor and you would pay extra to ensure the work is done correctly? Well, Guy delivers all that without the extra cost. Guy designs and finishes each basement as if they were his own. During construction, I was amazed at all the little and big things that Guy did to ensure the basement was done right even though I had not specified it in the contract. Once you have a total price with Guy for the basement agreed upon, he does not skimp to save himself any money. He wants it done right! Every square inch of the basement is scrutinized by Guy to ensure it meets his quality review, which is a very high standard. Guy and his workers are very clean, considerate and professional. In short, he is the best contactor I have ever hired and you should do the same.

Gradman in Northbrook

It went wonderfully! Guy was on the job every day and always made sure that I knew the plan on a week by week basis. I think we had a rather complicated remodel. Guy very patiently reworked the layout of the basement many times before my husband and I agreed on the final layout. Once the project was ready to go, Guy and his team worked diligently to rebuild our space. He worked with the town to install an egress window which met code while reducing our costs for installation. He was cost conscious throughout as items came up and was always fair with his pricing. His team was phenomenal. We upgraded our electrical and water lines. Everyone from GCM was very professional. Guy did a great job at maximizing the available footprint. We gained ceiling height by rerouting duct work and water lines. We now have a wonderful space for the kids to play!

I would happily work with Guy and GCM in the future. We had a good feeling about working with GCM from our first meeting and we are thrilled with the results!

Kirchen in Deerfield

Amazing results! We could not be more pleased with the end product and quality of workmanship from GCM. The basement has become the nicest room in our house and we are so excited to spend time in this beautiful space. Guy was very easy to work with and very open to our concerns and questions throughout the whole process. He gave us the autonomy to pick out what we wanted, but guided us with his extensive expertise to get the results we were looking for. On several occasions, he was able to recommend creative solutions to difficult basement problems. He checked in frequently and made himself available every step of the way. From the moment we met him, we trusted he could get the job done and it would be a good investment for us to work with him. His subs were professional, friendly, meticulous, and did excellent work. Guy truly is the basement expert and took our dream basement and made it a reality!

Marc & Jodi in Deerfield

We hired GCM to finish our basement and had a very good experience with them. Guy is good to work with and he is honest and responsive. Our project was completed within budget and on time. He always stays on top of the project and pays attention to details. The sub-contractors he works with are very trustworthy and did a fabulous job. We had to be away for about two weeks during the project and the basement work still went on without any issues. Also, Guy provided us a list of things that we were responsible for as an owner at the beginning of the project. This helped avoid any surprises during the course of the project and also helped a lot to make sure we did not cause any delays at our end.

Balakrishna from Vernon Hills 

We love our new basement living space with it?s music room, entertainment area, full bath, storage room, & closets.? The storage room and closet shelving were a main priority for us, and Guy and his carpenter, Robert, were helpful, and accommodating in building the spaces we requested.? Robert offered helpful suggestions, and Guy even took the time to help me shop for shelving?.
