Testimonials From our Clients

“I  have worked with Mark Gavin and his  company, GavinWood, for a number of years involving a wide range of  projects, including custom built office improvements in two different  locations, major renovations to the interiors of my home and a very  complicated exterior restoration project of a 40-year-old Ossipoff  wooden house.

Their work has been of the highest quality, and  as a real estate developer I have been particularly impressed with their  project management skills with respect to meeting schedules and  budgets. Mark is a very skillful professional with high-performance  disciplines, a combination not always found in the same person.

I recommend Mark without reservation.”

"We  began working closely with Mark Gavin in the Spring of 2012, after he  was recommended by a friend, Holly Turl, who is a prominent realtor in  Kailua.
Knowing that the external footprint of our home was going to  expand, he showed up with a draftsman, immediately ready to start the  design and planning process. He was involved every step of the way, from  following up on permits, to coordinating and scheduling all the  construction. Without Mark's hands on approach, the project would have  come to a standstill many times; he was always there to power through  snags and sustain the momentum.

During the 5 month  construction and installation phase, Mark was omnipresent. As the  kitchen began to materialize, Mark's skills, not only as a project  facilitator, but as a craftsman, were immediately apparent. The kitchen  is both beautiful, and functional, and far exceeded our expectations. It  is now a warm, comfortable space,  that is the envy of our friends, and  admired by all. If you are looking for a comprehensive, 'one stop  shopping' professional experience, call Mark Gavin. He sweats the small  stuff, so you can focus on the decisions that matter most in your home."

 "When we were researching possible vendors  for our kitchen remodel, GavinWood clearly stood out among the rest.  Mark Gavin had previously remodeled my brother’s, and neighbor’s,  kitchens in years past, and they both highly recommended him. To confirm  our decision, we went to a few ‘box stores’, and home renovation expos,  just to see what other vendors were providing. We could immediately  tell that we were going to receive a much higher quality product, and  overall experience, by choosing GavinWood. Granted, we could have chosen  a less expensive option, but we trusted Mark and his experience from  the very beginning – and we are so happy that we did.

When the cabinets were  delivered, we could not have been more satisfied with the final result.  We loved the high quality conversion varnish finish that Mark applied to  our cabinet doors. The look and feel of the finish alone stood apart  from any other cabinet that we had encountered. During the renovation  process Mark assisted us when any concerns or modifications arose. He  kept us apprised of the status of his work and even sent us progress  photos via email of the cabinets, which we really appreciated. Since so  much of the cabinet work is completed on island, his team was able to  assist us with a very quick turnaround time. Working with Mark and his  team was definitely one of the highlights of our kitchen renovation!"

"We are thoroughly enjoying the new kitchen installed for us by Mark Gavin, and his great crew. After the initial apprehension involved in soliciting and comparing bids, it was good to experience the confidence we felt after choosing GavinWood for our project. Mark's prompt response to our initial inquiry and all subsequent questions was impressive. The computer-generated renderings provided after each change in design helped us to avoid costly mistakes, and to feel more secure in our choices. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout were exemplary.

Anyone considering a remodeling project would benefit from a consultation with Mark Gavin."

  "I chose you for the nearly total renovation of my house, after randomly calling 6 people from a list of approximately 100 past customers of yours. All of the people that I spoke with were completely satisfied with your work and gave glowing comments. The initial meetings we had also indicated to my wife and me about your professionalism and good insight you seemed to have regarding our needs. Your finished product is top notch and the workers were excellent. Whenever we did have questions or concerns, you reassured us and corrected the minor problems that do occur with projects of this size. Your warm and generous personality helped ease the stress of living in a house undergoing remodeling.

We are so pleased with the outcome that, as I have already mentioned to you in person, we will definitely have you handle any future work on our house. It is such a pleasure to do business with a contractor as honest and forthright as yourself. Please feel free to share this letter with whomever you choose to.”

“We recently remodeled our home, and contracted GavinWood to create our custom kitchen cabinets, and glass display hutch.  We are very particular and precise, and Mark was the perfect person.  After spending many hours pouring over our needs, we are truly happy with our beautiful and functional kitchen and hutch.

We had many challenges remodeling our older home.  Mark had to work through all the issues, and in addition, he had to design a kitchen that could accommodate four generations.  Mark worked through all the challenges and created the kitchen we absolutely love!”

“GavinWood did an awesome job for my home! Mark Gavin helped me design a beautiful and large walk in pantry room.  Mark and his crew did a timely and beautiful job.  My cabinets are gorgeous!  The work was performed professionally. The quality is the BEST!!!”

“We recently remodeled our kitchen, a laundry room, and 4 bathrooms. GavinWood made and installed all of our cabinets in all of the rooms. We had shopped at all of the high end kitchen stores on the island, and we interviewed other cabinet makers. I have an eye for detail and if something is not perfect, I am not happy.

Everything GavinWood did for us was absolutely perfect. His cabinets are exactly what we had hoped for. The materials are perfect – as is the craftsmanship and quality. Everything looks superior. I couldn’t have hoped for anything more. He exceeded our already high expectations.

I would recommend him to anyone!!!”
