They obviously take pride in their work and finish projects beautifully. My new kitchen counter and island are absolutely phenomenal. I would not hesitate to contact the Gils again for high quality, detailed work. **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > We are building 2 kitchen Islands right now and just looked back at pictures of the Island we build for you! What a great project and such a pleasure working for you. **★★★★★ — Jeighmz Wytesyde, April 2016** > The work was beautiful and done in a timely manner. I'm so happy with the way my new custom cabinetry looks. I highly recommend Gil Mill! **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > James, Dan. The custom floor to ceiling storage unit in your small bedroom apartment was such a challenging project but so rewarding to maximize storage and living space at the same time. The cabinets turned out beautiful and also provided you with tons of clothing storage and a desk area that could also accommodate a blow up bed when the desk folds down. **★★★★★ — fmeuschke, April 2016** > We had a custom wall/desk unit constructed by Abigail and Robbie that turned out wonderful. After giving them a basic sketch and dimensions as to what we wanted they custom designed and added finishing touches we are delighted with. The quality and functionality is exactly what we were looking for. We have a combination of a computer/desk work area along with storage and display areas that blends in perfectly with our furnishings. We are very happy to have found people who could perform the craftsmanship and exactly what we were looking for. > > > Frank and Melanie **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > Thank you for having us in your home. We loved providing you with the custom built in that provided you the space to work and display all your wonderful trinkets. Its always so nice to have a desk area that has doors to hide all those wires, cable boxes, printer and so much more that make a work area cluttered. Thank you for letting us provide you with a multi purpose custom cabinet. **★★★★★ — heidigil1, April 2016** > Gil Mill exceeded our expectations on so many levels. The two projects we requested them to complete in our home included a bar and renovation of our laundry room. With the bar they transformed an empty small space to a useful, beautiful piece of art that is now an additional area for friends and family to gather. The laundry room once an eye sore, has doubled our storage space and is now a wonderful sight and extension to our kitchen. We enjoy many of the compliments from our guests and love to share the story of how Robbie and Abigail accomplished what we did not think was possible in both cases. They have a gift to finding solutions to practical needs, while creating a unique look and character with every finishing detail. Their passion for the work and creativity was obvious from the first day we discussed the projects. They got as excited about the opportunity to improve the spaces as we did and seek to truly get to know your style. They further demonstrated their dedication with timely communication, reliability, and a "what ever it takes" approach. It was the icing on the cake when both projects were finished on time. We are currently looking at two additional projects in our home for Gil Mill to complete. It continues to be both a fun and gratifying process to work with them! **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > Heidi > Thank you for having us in your home while we did a full renovation on your utility/ laundry room and custom bar area under your stairway. Im so proud of the way things turned out with all the custom work that was done in your home by GilMill. Love all the storage your laundry room now has with floor to ceiling cabinets, stainless steel countertops with a built in sink! We get so many likes on the custom bar we built under your staircase. Love the deep red with antique distressing on the bar cabinets. The Wormy Chestnut countertop with flip up bar countertop beside it bring the whole bar area together in such an inviting way. Also providing additional space for serving drinks and snack while keeping the bar cabinet free and clear for making drinks! **★★★★★ — Kristin Smith, April 2016** > Hey Abigail/Robbie, > > We just wanted to thank you again for the amazing job on the kitchen and TV console. The quality of work is top-notch. We really appreciated your passion, commitment, and amazing accountability. > > Thanks for listening, being so responsive, focusing on the little things, taking pride, inspiring us with your creativity, and for just being good human beings. We are glad we met you and admire your relationship. We'll be referring you every chance we get. > > Carl & Kristin **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > You guys are amazing! Thank you for letting us transform your large loft space into a spectacular kitchen with built in custom cabinets and butcher block countertop. Loved all the reclaimed lumber we used to skin the existing kitchen Islands. The large TV wall looked so great with the reclaimed lumber and very large mantel like countertop to provide depth and space to display pictures and trinkets. **★★★★★ — andrew\_gil23, April 2016** > We've used Gil Mill for a couple different customized pieces: an Oak Butcher Block Kitchen Island and a reclaimed lumber mantle. Both pieces were reasonable priced, finished on the agreed upon delivery date and in tune with our needs. We've recommended them to several friends and they continue to exceed expectations. **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > Cant wait to continue our work with you now that you just purchased your first Home!! So excited to fully renovate your kitchen, Master bedroom and Bathrooms. Thank you for continuing to allow us in your apartments and new home throughout the years to create a comfortable home for you and your growing family. **★★★★★ — go2masha, April 2016** > Abigail & Robbie worked with us on designing a beautiful wardrobe for our tiny bedroom space. The final product reflects the high-quality, passion and thoughtfulness the Gils put into their work at every stage. They collaborated with us on designing a piece that fit our style as well as the style of the apartment. Abigail & Robbie always took the lead making recommendations at every step to ensure the finished product would make the most use of our space given our inventory of clothes & shoes, was within budget for the project and looked amazing in choosing colors & hardware. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about having built-in or custom work done for their home. > > -Jana **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > This large wardrobe is one of my favorite custom designed pieces with have built. I loved the blend of the classic painted shaker style cabinets with the Teak wood drawer fronts. The large Brass hardware blended classic cabinets with the more mid-century Teak drawers and peg legs. I think this is a stunning one of kind built in that as you said provided much needed custom storage for you both. **★★★★★ — Ken Henley, April 2016** > Robbie & Abigail from Gil Mill Custom Homes are masters of custom interior home design and they were a delight to work with. They genuinely love what they do and it is truly reflected in their work. They will work with what you currently have, and design whatever you are looking for to fit perfectly. The thing I was most impressed about is their desire to tackle unusual requests and produce flawless results. They built a beautiful custom armoire for us and we could not be happier. We will definitely be calling on Gil Mill Custom Homes again in the future! > Ken & Chelsea. > New York, NY **Comment from Gil Mill Custom Homes:** > Love this large Armoire we were able to build for you and Chelsea in your Manhattan apartment. It provided much needed space for clothes and a bedroom TV. ## Selected projects - [Brooklyn Farmhouse Galley Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-farmhouse-galley-kitchen-pj-vj~1548364) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 3 - Description: In this floor to ceiling gut renovation, we paired old world charm with modern amenities.
