We had Gilles and Gail come to our house the first time to fix our furnace as a recommendation from my father. We had already spoken other electricians and they had quoted us a ridiculous price just to come see what was wrong, without being able to guarantee that they could fix it. Gilles and Gail came looked at the problem and Gilles was able to fix it instantly and did not even charge us half of what we were expecting to pay. After that we have had Gilles and Gail come to our home and perform so many other projects. They are very nice and trust worthy people and they really take the time to do a job right. In addition, they are so clean while working, make an effort to not mess up the rest of the house, or leave their tools all over the house and they clean up properly the area/room they were working on once they complete the project. I highly recommend using G&G Magic Touch Services, if you want a job done right the first time, trustworthy honest people working in your home or office and not overpay for the work being done.

It's very difficult to find a good, honest & reliable contractor and I've had some very bad experiences. I struck gold when Gail & Gilles were referred to me (by a marble & tile company). They go above and beyond what I would expect. As Gilles does the work, Gail cleans up afterwards so everything is spotless when they leave. Gilles is extremely knowledgeable about how to do things properly, points out mistakes other contractors have made and fixes them. One of them would have resulted in a very serious accident one day -- the stairs from my porch to the lower level back yard (10' off the ground) were only held in place by a few nails -- no brace -- it was only a matter of time until they rusted through and snapped when someone stood on the top step. The laminate and granite he laid is absolutely perfect. He also finished installing French Doors that another contractor started but I fired him for showing up drunk one day. I think I had about a dozen items on my "To Do" list and he finished each one of them, including painting my daughter's room (again, a perfect job). G & G have just started a larger renovation job for me, a rental condo I own, and I know the work will be done to perfection. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them to anyone.

We originally called Gail and Gilles to discuss various small projects we needed done around our house. We discussed finishing a room in the basement in future, and more immediate smaller projects. The first project was to do some minor repairs in the basement and to install a light fixture in the basement and a few more throughout the house. The day before our appointment we had had some flooding in the basement. We called someone to come snake the drain and they arrived while Gail and Gilles (G & G) were there. Mr. Rooter (see our review for them) determined that we were going to have to have parts of the basement dug up. Gilles suggested that G&G stop doing anything further in the basement until that was sorted since there was no point in us wasting money. We agreed. They moved upstairs to install 3 other ceiling lights, 2 of which were antique chandeliers. There was a piece missing from one of them and G&G went out to pick that up for us. They came back and installed all 3 lights. This wasn't easy since the previous owner had left unused wires and things in the ceiling. They fixed things though and Gilles even made sure that any smudges and fingerprints on the chrome light were removed before. The lights look beautiful and we are very happy with their work. They will be coming back soon to finish a minor job in the kitchen. We will then be calling them back to see about helping us with the basement which now needs renovation due to the drain problem we had. We are not very handy people so we were looking for someone with knowledge and expertise who could come and do the fixes, but also to advise us as to the best and most cost effective way to go about it. We are so happy that we found G & G. They are very professional, neat, and pleasant to work with. Of course we will be calling them again.

Gilles and Gail did a wonderful job for me. They were punctual, pleasant and professional even when the project turned out to be more complex than first estimated. Everything was left in good shape when they finished. They were also true to their orginal quote. I would certainly use their services again.

I asked Gilles and Gail to build the chest and end tables for me. The chest was made using maple, oak, cedar, bass wood and lined with aromatic cedar..The end tables are maple veneer They are absolutely gorgeous and the end tables stimulate conversation, because of their unusual design. When I told my son in law, who is an excellent carpenter what my labour costs were he commented that not only was the work expertly done, but that the price that I paid was less than the going rate for such intricate work, given the hours that went into it. My wife and I are truly happy, my friends quite impressed and I would readily recommend G_G to anyone who wants quality work done.

We have had G & G do painting and repairs to our shower. They have done excellent work - the one problem is that often emergencies or health interfere with their planned commitment - however, they can be totally trusted and do a great job when they do arrive to work. Sometimes it takes longer than planned because of the above mentioned situations. Their price is good and we would have them again. I would let people know that timing is sometimes an issue but trust and good work is very good.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Try harder to keep to timing or inform people of the flexibility with plans because of various circumstances - emergencies, etc.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
I would just let them know that they do a great job and can be trusted with your house keys, but if time is of the essence to them then they might be frustrated, but we were not in a hurry and they were most accommodating and always informed me when they were going to be late or couldn't make it because of an emergency or other situation. They also clean up after and that is a plus.
Company Response:
Thank you Ann for your review. You are right for emergencies as we are known to deal with floods and or water leaks in condo's. It was unfortunate that while working on your project I pulled a muscle in my chest and had to delay for a week. Thank you so much for the trust and we are glad that you are happy with our work. Once again, thank you and God Bless. Regards, Gail & Gilles
