We are writing to tell you how happy we are with our new Corian countertop. It has dramatically improved the look of our kitchen, and it’s so easy to use and clean up after cooking. We also wanted you to know what a pleasure it was dealing with you and all of your employees. Office and Showroom Manager Caroline Jabson was very patient in helping us select the perfect Corian color. Although we had initially selected a different color, Caroline gave us excellent advice on why the color was not practical and showed us another color which was ultimately installed in our kitchen. I had not even noticed the other color. And Caroline was absolutely right! It goes so well with our tile backsplash, cabinets, and our wood floor. We also appreciated Caroline’s excellent follow-through, timely communications by phone and email, and visits to our home during and after the countertop installation. She is a great asset to your organization. In addition, we appreciated how the removal of the old countertop and installation of the new countertop were completed so efficiently. By the end of the second day, we had a fully functioning kitchen! All the workers were on time, were very professional, worked diligently and did excellent work. It was a pleasure doing business with you and your company, Chuck. We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends, and we will contact you again if we need further work done on our house.

We just wanted to take time to let you know how much we appreciated doing business with you and most of all with Caroline Jabson. Caroline is a very warm and informative person, she showed and gave of herself and her talents more than we expected. You should be very proud to have her as your office manager. She showed that she cares about people and great concern for being a professional employee for your company. We would also like you to know that your workers Pat and Benny were cooperative, punctual, and did an excellent job on our kitchen remodeling project. We would have no problem having them do any future work in our home. Please let them know that we are well satisfied with their work.

Chuck, I wanted to write you a quick note to say how pleased I am with the new pocket door and all it involved. Your staff Randy & Brody did great work. They were very professional, courteous, made sure I understood all they were doing and answered any questions patiently. In the past, your company has replaced a closet, surrounding wall, and basement stairs. I’ve always had quality work and look forward to the next project.

Dear Chuck and Caroline, Thanks to all of you for my new bathroom! I love everything about it from all the extra cabinet space to my new Whirlpool tub. You took an outdated bathroom and transformed it into a beautiful and functional room. The heated floor is quite a treat, especially now that there’s a chill in the air. The Whirlpool tub is so nice after a long day. The grandkids think it’s loads of fun when they visit. The Onyx countertops and Onyx surrounding the tub is very pretty also. Our bathroom was somewhat narrow, but your reduced depth cabinetry allowed us to not only to have more of the cabinet space we wanted but also opened up the room to make it seem wider. Your employees were always so pleasant and respectful when they were in our home and were attentive to any questions we had. They ended up feeling like family friends. In all, thanks for the bathroom I’ve always dreamed of…it’s now a reality!

Chuck, Caroline, and all, Thanks so much for the beautiful job you did on our bathroom. I love all the updates and the attention to detail. The guys always left the house clean each night and even when there were problems, you went out of your way to make everything right. A special thanks to Caroline for the sympathetic ear, to Chuck for helping me with all the decisions, and to the guys for their professional job and respectful attitude. Thanks!

I wanted to thank you for choosing Randy to be the lead carpenter on my porch remodel. His knowledge and professionalism on the job was a sign to behold as was his friendliness and personable manner. He can do it all so give that man a raise. Also, Randy Johnson went above and beyond laying the foundation in between raindrops, getting it done in one day. I didn’t talk much with him because I don’t like getting wet but give him a raise too.

Dear Chuck, Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful remodel. It turned out perfect, like the vision we had in our heads. Also to tell you that your crew of Pat and Benny were very much appreciated. Both are hard workers and easy to have in our home. Special kudos to Pat, whose craftsmanship is impeccable. Nothing was left unfinished. He did a fantastic job. The plumbers and electricians work was top notch and they too were a pleasure. Thank you, Chuck, for getting this done for us. Not knowing what is ahead with Tom’s health, we do know he will have easy access in the bathroom. Please thank Caroline for us also. I know she had a hand in helping to get this done. Hope you heal well and fast from your accident. Thank you!!

Hi Chuck, Just a little shout-out to Pat, Ben, & Caroline for the great job on our kitchen remodel. We have received so many compliments and our guests have been so impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship that I’m compelled to encourage you to give generous bonuses for all! :-). Once again, many thanks for a job well done and rest assured we will share who was responsible for the fine work with all who admire a job well done.

Dear Gabbert, Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how pleased I am with my new tub and wall surround. Caroline is an awesome person and the greatest help around. Pat and Mitch were so professional and did a terrific job. They were on time, worked hard and cleaned everything up. Thank you for such a great job.

Chuck & Team: Just wanted to write a note of great appreciation for the work on the kitchen/dining room and deck stairs. Jeff and Randy did excellent work, and Deb and I are enjoying their craftsmanship daily! Again, thanks for making it possible to “go where others had told us wasn’t possible or prudent” with the two projects. After nearly 8 years in this house, we are really liking it to full measure of satisfaction.

Dear Chuck, Wonderful – that describes my new bathroom and the job your company has done. Thank you for your patience as I made my choices and decisions, it was a fun experience. Your employees are amazing guys they kept me informed each day as to what was happening. And if there was any doubt made sure each time I was consulted. They know how to do everything. When asked I will highly recommend your company.

We just want to say Thank You to Chuck, Caroline, Joe, and all the guys for the great job they did with our kitchen remodel. Also, a special word of thanks to Randy the lead carpenter on our job, if there was ever a question, he would consult with us before proceeding. We would recommend them to anyone.

We want to thank you all for our new kitchen and bathroom!! We are incredibly pleased with the final results. It was amazing to watch the transformation from the SO outdated Z-Brick and avocado colors and the pink bathroom to the stunning, contemporary styles. We appreciated the unique ideas and design suggestions from Chuck and Caroline while paying close attention to our own wishes as well. Jeff and Joe delivered quality, respectful service, and they were very patient with our questions and adjustments along the way. Our kitchen remodel was long overdue, and we are enjoying it beyond words. We are very glad we chose C.T. Gabbert, and we hope to call on you again for future home improvement projects. Thank you all again!!

Chuck, Joe, Jeff, Caroline, and Mike, Thank you so much for the beautiful kitchen improvements. We love it! Once my work gets done, it will be fabulous! Thank you too for the yummy Thanksgiving cookies. Seeing as how I painted most of the weekend, they were a very welcomed treat! Can’t wait for you to see the finished product. You are the best!

I am thrilled to death at the work Jeff did today at my house. He was quick, kind, knowledgeable very clean and tidy. He made my bathroom look new again. He was able to fix the roof and install the outside vent for the exhaust fan…installed the fan and light. He is the best worker you have sent me. I look forward to recommending him and Gabberts to my friends and family whenever they want a job well done. Keep sending me your best employees… You are spoiling me and I love it. Thank you for taking care of this before the weather hits us. Your prompt attention has saved me much grief. Thank you. Thank you.

Dear Gabbert Team During the past couple of months since you completed our bathroom remodeling project, we have come to fully appreciate the level of excellence that you provided. From the initial brainstorming, layout, suggestions of materials & finishes; your team excelled every step of the way. Special “Thank You’s” to Chuck, Caroline, and especially the craftsmen. All of you were very considerate of our wishes and input.

Ruth & Jack Heiniger (East Peoria)

Dear Chuck: Thanks for a job well done updating our kitchen. We love our new counter tops, lighting, wall and floor tile. We got to know Joe, Pat, and Jeff; sorry we don’t know all the other names of the workers, all were courteous and professional. They did a great job it was completed on time and the kitchen is beautiful. Thanks to Caroline for her help selecting tile and keeping us informed of product availability and job schedule.

Dear Caroline and all at Gabbert Remodeling, Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did remodeling our bathroom! After my mother’s car accident, you quickly came in to help us figure out how to change our guest bathroom into a handicap accessible, yet stylish main bathroom. You rescheduled other jobs to help us accomplish the room within a tight 2-week schedule before my mother was to return from the rehab. Your workers were always prompt, friendly and considerate! Caroline was always so helpful and cheerful to work with in person and over the phone! It is so nice to see a company with integrity and personnel that care about their work, enjoy what they do, and bring quality work to their customer. My mother has been home with us for two months now and just loves the new bathroom! Home care, who come to the house every day, have all commented on how nice the bathroom is, and of course, we have passed along your name to them for future patients/customers who may need help remodeling their bathrooms! We are so pleased with the work you did and hope to work with you in the future! Thank you so much!
