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.
Bruce & Chris Adler (Washington)
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 You took an outdated bathroom and transformed it into a beautiful and functional room.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!
Wendy & Mike B. (Washington)
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.
Tom & Rhonda L. (Pekin)
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!!
Jeff & Mary Ann Nelson (Hanna City)
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.
Rosemary Polites (East Peoria)
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.
Keith & Deb B. (Dunlap)
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. (See photos from this project in the Photo Gallery under Kitchens, A Fresh Kitchen and Decks, and Porches, A Scenic Overlook.)

Dear Chuck, Caroline, etc., Thank you for a beautiful kitchen. Everybody loves it. Not only did you do lovely work, but you also made the construction as quick and pleasant as anyone could. I’ll gladly recommend you all to anyone.

Joe and the master carpenter who repaired my front door frame did a superb job…I value your friendship.
Kathy B. (Peoria)
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.
Ron & Pat Pullen (Peoria)
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.

Jeff and Kelly Heckman (West Peoria)
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!!
Kristen & Bill Shaner (Morton, IL)
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! (See photos of this project in our Kitchens photo gallery under Ordinary to Extraordinary.)

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.

Chuck has a very creative mind and works well with what he’s presented… The difference before and after is incredible. It’s hard to describe the magnitude of the change and the beauty of the finished product.
Aimee Cottrell
C.T.Gabbert Remodeling completely remodeled our 1950s kitchen. Wow, they did a good job. Our lead carpenter Kyle worked through any challenges that this older home threw at him and really made our new kitchen everything we hoped it could be and more. Devin designed my dream kitchen and Caroline help pick out finishes and kept us informed on progress on a daily basis. The Gabbert team made what can be a stressful situation work more smoothly for us. We would recommend them to anyone that has a remodeling project they want done right.

A Beautiful Finish (bathroom, kitchen, and basement).
They listened to our ideas and came up with a design that was exactly what we had in mind… we have a beautiful master bathroom and a stunning basement and…. we have made lasting friendships. We will always be grateful for such a positive and fantastic experience!
C.T.Gabbert, thank you very much for a job well done! I love my new bathroom. It looks so nice. John and Kyle were really nice and answered all my questions. They were on time and cleaned everything up. Thanks to all of you.
Susan Frasco
Kari was so easy and knowledgeable to work with in getting the project started and answered all my questions. She even spent a lot of time looking for the medicine cabinet closest to our old one. We are pleased with our total update and remodel of the bathroom in out 95 year old home. Now we can shower without fear of falling. And it’s gorgeous! They let us know what time they would arrive the next morning and were on time. They kept us up to date of what was going to happen and when and were very knowledgable and kind. They even gave our dog scratches when she “demanded”. When we’re ready to have our kitchen remodeled, they’re the ones we’ll call. Much thanks to Kari, Jeff and the team!

Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, Chuck worked closely with the Peoria Friendship House and local high school students, providing hands-on instruction on how to use tools, basic construction techniques, and the construction trade. His commitment to sharing these valuable skills goes beyond simple teaching, he is passionate about helping the youth develop life skills that are beneficial to their future careers and personal lives. As part of this initiative, Chuck invited students and other community members, like Rotarians, to work together on projects that directly benefit the local community. In partnership with Advocates for Access and Helping Hands, Chuck and the students built ramps for those in need, providing accessibility improvements for residents in Peoria. Chuck’s impact on the youth of Peoria and his impact on making a difference in the community is one of the reasons he is so deserving of the John Giavaras Community Service Award. We are grateful for his ongoing support and effort here in the community, we look forward to seeing the continued positive impact he will have in the future.
