Gatz Construction Inc.

A terrific company to work with! Scott has a great design eye with flair. He was extremely helpful as we worked through the whole process. Weekly progress reports are provided online along with photos to see the progress. All of the craftsmen were very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had throughout.

For many years we have successfully used Gatz Construction to handle our needed professional repairs and maintenance. As our family has grown, we realized the need to expand/remodel our Magician Lake cottage to comfortably accommodate the kids/grandkids. Scott from Gatz utilized some remarkable software, allowing us to view multiple construction layouts and sizing options. Once construction began in the fall we received regular updates and pics to keep us well informed. Gatz worked with a very high degree of professionalism and efficiently with all the trades and made sure we were all ready to go by Memorial Day. The final product was everything we had hoped for and more. Our whole family is extremely pleased and we'd strongly recommend Gatz to anyone who is considering new construction or remodeling.

Our project involved redoing a bathroom, knocking down walls and putting in new floors. Everything looks great! The project was done earlier than expected. It was left clean each day. We were able to get questions answered in a timely matter. Everyone was great to deal with.

Gatz Construction has designed and completed multiple projects for us. The workmanship was outstanding, and we could not have been more pleased with the beautiful results. We would highly recommend them!

We had a bad experience with a local contractor and asked our realtor for a referral. Met Scott Moody and within a week our nightmare experience turned into complete satisfaction. Scott and the Gatz crew met all expectations and came in on budget. I would recommend Gatz to anyone needing home construction or remodeling.

Scott Moody, owner of Gatz construction did a wonderful job on our complete exterior remodel. He was fair, honest, neat and organized. We are so happy with the finished product and the fact that it came within our budget. I would highly recommend Scott to any friends and family and would look forward to working with him again.

We had several decking and stairs projects that needed to be redone or repaired. We live on a very difficult hilly site with limited parking, neighbors that do not like noise, and my husband and I are very particular when it comes to quality craftsmanship. We had been searching for years for a company to either repair or rebuild our stairs and decking that we use to get to the lake from our house. The stairs are situated on a steep slope and change directions as they are intermingled with landings and decks and landscaping. We wanted a company that would assist us in choosing the best materials and had the expertise to discuss design possibilities. The company also needed to comply with local ordinances as well as strict neighborhood guidelines regarding road load limits, work hours, noise limits, parking, etc. In addition, we wanted a company that would not damage other structures or landscaping on our property or others. After interviewing several companies, it was clear that the owner of Gatz Construction was knowledgeable with fresh ideas relating to both material selection and design, and had similar ideas to ours regarding how to proceed in an orderly fashion that would limit neighborhood complaints, damage to our property, etc. My husband and I both had careers in the home improvement industry and had a considerable amount of knowledge so therefore we needed a company that would meet or exceed our expectations. Because we are "hands on" type clients, knowledgeable and expert craftsmanship were essential. In addition, the location of the project was difficult, to say the least, as it was located on the side of a steep hill. We had decided for the old stairs and decks to be disassembled (starting at the bottom with one section at a time) and then reassembled on the same footprint, for the most part, using new material when needed. Unfortunately, most of the 4x4 posts (approx.80), all of the steps, decking, railing, risers, toe kicks and some of the stringers had to be replaced. The substructure seemed to be useable, but since the posts had rotted, each section had to be re- squared which was problematic since the rotten posts caused most of the landings and flights of stairs to move. We also asked that everything that was disassembled be removed from our property at the end of each day. Since they started at the bottom, the crew needed to carry up the old lumber by walking up approximately 100 steps! Of course, the number of steps decreased as the crew made their way to the top of the hill. However, this was very labor intensive. The Gatz crew did a good job of keeping the work site tidy, There were no loud radios, no cigarette butts, no long lunches, and best of all, they showed up on time. Gatz's best quality lies in the area of communication. They returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner; crews were on site on time; quotes, invoices, etc. were professionally submitted; samples and prototypes were supplied when needed; and in addition to weekly meetings, management was readily available upon request to solve problems and issues in order to help eliminate interruptions and downtime. We underestimated the complexity/scope of the project which unfortunately effected the time it took to complete. Lumber availability (used some exotic hardwood), weather conditions, uniqueness of site, our critical eyes, etc. all contributed to an extremely lengthy project. My husband and I are totally satisfied with the beach stair project. We have since used Gatz for other projects. They are professional, dependable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We can provide photos to Houzz if requested.
