He is excellent at communication and follow up, which is not always the case with contractors. He is thorough, meticulous, organized, honest, and sincere. I would highly recommend speaking to him regarding any home build or remodel project. He is very insightful, and always went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. **★★★★★ — Yvonne Strange, Nov. 2018** > Choosing a professional construction company to finish a basement for a mother-in-law suite was one of the hardest tasks to do. We were fortunate to find Gage Construction who exceeded our expectations in every way. The professionalism exhibited by everyone from the owner to the electricians and plumbers who work with them was exactly what I hoped for. They were punctual, responded to calls, texts, or emails promptly, and always ensured that we were kept informed of progress and potential problems. The supervisor of the project, PJ, always seemed to keep a tight ship with his subcontractors. They obviously respect him and know that he will be inspecting everything they do for quality. One of the best memories I have of the company is after the project was complete, PJ came and personally walked through the area with my mother to be sure that she was 100% pleased. She didn't want to hurt the workmen's feelings and had not shared that she did not like the arrangement of some installed cabinets. As soon as PJ realized that she was not pleased, he had them come immediately and redo it to her specification, even though the project was technically finished. This is what you DON"T get in today's world. A company that cares about the project from the start to the finish, even after they receive their payment. HONEST, RELIABLE, PROFESSIONAL, KIND, RESPECTFUL, CLEAN, THOROUGH, AND QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP. Those words sum up our experience! I highly recommend them to anyone! If I were to ever build a house, I would hire them in a heartbeat, even though I had sworn to NEVER build another house years ago after a terrible experience with a different company! **★★★★★ — mpdjc, Nov. 2018** > Gage Construction did a complete redesign/renovation on two bathrooms. Everyone who worked on this remodeling job; demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, painters, carpenters and tilers were extremely professional, skilled, courteous and efficient. The quality of their work far exceeded my expectations. PJ (project manager) was always accessible and easy to talk to. If I ever had any questions or concerns he would address them and any “fix” needed was done quickly. I would highly recommend Gauge construction especially if you want a quality product. **★★★★★ — Elyce Jennings, Aug. 2017** > If you are looking for craftsmanship, quality, attention to detail and a worry free project contact Matt Gilpin at Gage Construction. I have nicknamed Matt and his project manager PJ, the Dynamic Duo. They will make sure the job is done right. If you aren't swayed by reviews, take the time to talk with Matt. You will be glad you did. **★★★★★ — Sally Baker, July 2017** > If you are looking for a construction team that is professional, courteous, careful, and that produces the highest quality work, look no further; Gage Construction is for you. Matt was genius at combining our needs and dreams into an affordable and spectacular renovation. PJ, our project manager made sure the dust and inconvenience was kept to a minimum. Everyone from the builders to the tile setters to the plumber and electrician produced the highest quality we could ask for, at times going way above and beyond. Our project started on time, ended on time and on budget, and we (almost) hated to see them go! These professionals really care about their work. Thank you Gage. Well Done! **★★★★★ — Robert Barber, March 2017** > Homesforourtroops hired Gage construction which says a LOT they have an extensive vetting process. I was the recipient of the home, I am a severely wounded veteran, and the home is wonderful and fully handicap accessible. His entire crew was professional and prompt every day. I'd hire him again any day of the week. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2017** > We have used Gage Construction one two $100k-plus projects. Both were house total gut-jobs. Extremely professional, forward-thinking and problem solving. Very good at keeping me up to date on progress and any issues that arise. All subs were courteous, friendly, and clean. very fast at getting back to me anytime I contacted them. The bid was right on point and Matt considered many items that Other contractors would not have thought about, so we stayed on budget. I will always use Gage Construction and recommend them to anyone looking to build or renovate in Columbia. **★★★★★ — GLORIA JOHNSON, Dec. 2016** > We used Gage Construction to complete a sunroom/open porch addition and I must say, the end results exceeded our wildest expectations. The project was very well managed, completed ahead of schedule, and remained on budget. We chose to remain in the house during construction and the crew was very professional and courteous. They arrived on time every day, and always cleaned up after themselves. Our neighbors and friends are in awe at how well the project turned out. From the outside, it looks as though the addition has always been a part of the house as the roof lines all tie in beautifully. The inside is just as stunning. Everything is just perfect and we could not be happier. > > When we met Matt for the very first time, he earned our confidence and respect as a contractor whom we could trust with our most prized possession, our home. He was very helpful in pulling together our vision for the addition. Early during the planning process, he offered some great suggestions that we incorporated into the design. He even referred us to a draftsman who prepared the plans, saving us hundreds of dollars in architectural fees. > > We had a great experience with Gage Construction and plan to use them for all of our future remodeling/renovations needs. **★★★★★ — Robert Chambless, Nov. 2016** > the Gage company did a outstanding job on our lake house. the professionalism, work quality was awesome. they kept us on budget and delivered on the projected time line. they are extremely trust worthy and very honest. it was a pleasure doing business with the Gage company and we will use them in the future. **★★★★★ — jdvich, June 2016** > We hired Matt, Gage Construction, to remodel our Kitchen. Before this started we had over 3 gallons of rain come through our front windows during the flood of 2015. Cage Construction was able to find the area where the water came through and fixed the problem we had been having for over 15 years. All the work was done professionally from demolition to the smallest job of installing the hardware on the cabinets. When there was a problem, PJ Calcutt always handled the issue professionally and usually came up with the best solution. Every subcontractor Gage Construction recommends are easy and wonderful to work with. The finished project exceeding all of our expectations! We already have plans to remodel our Staircase and Master Bathroom. **★★★★★ — snadamor, Jan. 2016** > We hired Gage Construction to renovate a bath for us and very pleased we did. From the demolition phase to completion, the crews treated us and our home with the utmost respect. All phases went smoothly, communication was excellent through PJ Calcutt who was onsite daily, and all phases of this renovation were handled by competent professionals. This project was delivered on time, true to the budget, and we feel very confident in recommending Matt Gilpin and Gage Construction for consideration. **★★★★★ — gamberg40, Dec. 2015** > Gage Construction completely remodeled our house, inside and out, and did a fabulous job. They had great ideas and guidance and employed skilled sub-contractors for all the functions involved in the construction process. ## Selected projects - [Transitional Carolina Custom Kitchen & Dining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-carolina-custom-kitchen-and-dining-pj-vj~2962389) - Location: Chapin, SC - Photos: 2 - [Transitional Carolina Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-carolina-custom-home-pj-vj~2962365) - Location: Chapin, SC - Photos: 7 - [Lakefront Outdoor Living on Lake Murray, SC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-outdoor-living-on-lake-murray-sc-pj-vj~1490238) - Location: Chapin, SC - Photos: 4 - Description: What a great transitional space for lake living!
