What our Clients Say

We had a great experience with Gate Beautiful Construction when they renovated our kitchen. We live in a 100+ year-old row home in Lancaster City. It was a quirky, small space. They knocked down a wall to make more space. It has been a year and a half, and we are still in love with the work they did. It was easy to work with them and they carefully listened to what we had to say. They were flexible with design and choice of materials. They gave us ideas as a springboard and encouraged us to be active participants in the process. We would highly recommend this company!

GBC did a wonderful job with my home renovation! Ken and Anya were incredibly insightful, organized, and helpful every step of the way. They have the ability to come up with great ideas at any price point. Ken’s craftsmanship is superb and he stands by his work. You are provided a timeline for your project and GBC is on target with their estimated completion dates. Estimated costs are right on target and there are no surprises with the cost of the project. GBC has excellent communication with their clients every step of the way. I am pleased with my project and would not change a thing! I will definitely hire them again for my next project!
