When we initially met to begin our personal design, he was confident that he could compete this project within our budget. He truly kept his word!! His attention to detail and knowledge of the products and materials assured us that we were in good hands. His work with stone is amazing! We absolutely love our deck and outdoor kitchen. **★★★★★ — francesca60439, Aug. 2017** > Gordon has done several progects in our home. He designed and remodeled our master bath, our kitchen, built custom cabinets and media console, and our out door kitchen patio and built a pergola. We can't say enough about the quality of his work and what a pleasure he is to work with. His design and craftmenship is impeccable! ## Selected projects - [Francesca"s New Laundry Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/francescas-new-laundry-room-pj-vj~6934011) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Basement Kitchen Buffet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-kitchen-buffet-pj-vj~6933625) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [As close to maintenance free deck as I could get](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/as-close-to-maintenance-free-deck-as-i-could-get-pj-vj~6932097) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [John and Allie's new office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/john-and-allie-s-new-office-pj-vj~6932055) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [The Pizza Oven](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-pizza-oven-pj-vj~5848031) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 4 - Description: Visible from multiple fairways at Tamarack in Naperville, IL - [Fireplace Transformed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fireplace-transformed-pj-vj~2245200) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 6 - [My cousin's new kitchen island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/my-cousin-s-new-kitchen-island-pj-vj~5939088) - Location: Lexington, SC - Photos: 5 - Description: My cousin, Susan, found her perfect forever home, except for the lack of a kitchen island.
