“I highly recommend Gary from Build It Consulting and Construction company for any carpentry needs! Gary recently installed 3 new bedroom doors, 1 bathroom door and widened two doorways in my home. His professionalism was evident from start to finish. The craftsmanship was of journeyman level, showcasing his expertise and attention to detail.

Not only was the work completed ahead of schedule, but the quality exceeded my expectations. Every aspect of the project was handled with care and precision, and he maintained clear communication throughout the process. To top it off, the pricing was fair and transparent, offering great value for such high-quality work. I will definitely be using his services again in the future!

I truly feel blessed to have found Gary for my renovation project. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, which I ACTUALLY did!

A talented contractor and design consultant with years of experience, he was perfect (undoubtedly overqualified) for my job:

Professional in every way,
Trustworthy, timely, and respectful,
Patient, flexible, and great listener.

The job turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much Gary.

Gary Heidman is the sole force that is Build It Consulting & Construction. He designed and built for us a kitchen and wine bar that could be featured on HGTV! Look at the photos!

Gary is everything you want from a contractor, but rarely get. He arrived EVERY DAY at 7:45 AM, and stayed until after 4:00 PM. He does all the work, no subcontractors! An apprentice helper was his only assistance. He finished the job on time, and on budget.

His attention to detail is amazing, and he was willing to collaborate with us when we made necessary adjustments as the project evolved. Perhaps most impressively is his technical skill. The man is a true craftsman from an age gone by. He built us a wine bar, FROM SCRATCH, based on our hand-drawn sketch. He trained as an old-school carpenter, and it shows. He is also a magician with dry wall! Our ceiling and walls look seamless despite the abuse they took from the removal of a weight-bearing header, and the widening of an entryway.

Beyond his skill as a craftsman, Gary is just a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly patient and accommodating as we decided change orders, that thankfully were reasonably priced. Finally, the man is a gentleman, and a pleasure to do business with.

You will not be disappointed working with Gary Heidman from Build It Consulting & Construction! Bravo Gary, you're a true maestro!

Gary is the best! He's knowledgable, honest, on time, and has a real passion for his job. He knows his stuff inside and out but also gave us the opportunity to choose what we wanted according to our tastes and needs. We are absolutely thrilled the way that our project turned out and feel lucky to have found Build It.

Gary is a consummate professional in every sense! A pleasant person to work with, a skilled master carpenter, kitchen designer, and general contractor with an eye for design and attention to detail. I chose Build It Construction over two other contractors because of Gary’s excellent reviews and because his bid was within the budget set by my insurance. Gary custom built new cabinets, completed tile work, repaired walls, reinstalled plumbing and appliances, and restored my kitchen like new after incurring significant water damage. He and his assistant came every morning on time and the project was completed on schedule. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do and takes great pride in their work. That’s Gary! I trusted his recommendations for some improvements and I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the finished result. I am a 30-year homeowner and I would call Build It Construction (aka: Gary) again with future home improvement projects.

I got estimates for my kitchen remodel and went with Gary at Build it. He quoted me the most affordable price and I just had a good feeling about him. My kitchen is so beautiful and the job was done so professionally. I would give him 6 stars!

Build It Consulting and Construction earned our highest possible rating. We highly recommend you choose them for your next project!

Gary and his crew completed a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and living area remodel for us.
He provided design input and helpful ideas for finishes. A detailed estimate was given at the start of the project and he stayed within the agreed upon costs. He and his crew did the demo and all the construction. The job was completed within the time estimate given. And, all of this was done in a professional and cheerful manner. Gary is simply the best! We love our new home!

Gary and his crew are very thorough and strive for perfection. They make sure they clean up every day before they leave.
They remodeled my whole house which is 56 years old and had never had any upgrades.  It was a challenge to say the least.
It now looks like a beautiful brand new house. If you are unsure of what exactly you want, Gary has a lot of great ideas.  I'm extremely pleased with the outcome.
