When life serves you lemons, make a whiskey sour! Last Thursday we had a massive plumbing issue that shut down the shop. We were expecting to be down a month or more. Yet the @gaisconstruction team rallied fast and furious and had us operational again by lunch time on Monday! Simply amazing. We are so fortunate to have them as such an amazing partner.

With Gais Construction, we’ve built two restaurants and are currently building our third. Kevin Gais is a gem! His flexibility, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. We not only highly recommend Gais Construction, we’re eager to do many more projects with Kevin and his team. Trusting Gais Construction for our building needs was, undoubtedly, the best and easiest decision we made.

We have used Gais Construction extensively for the past 10 years. Not only do I feel very good about the quality of the work they perform, but I feel very good about working with Michael Gais and his team because of their integrity.
Inevitably, there are issues in the construction process. We feel that Michael and his team do an excellent job of problem solving and addressing issues that arise. They are also very good at maintaining a construction budget. During our projects, we are always able to contact them at any time throughout the day and they are responsive to our requests.
I look forward to continuing our relationship with Gais Construction for our future projects. I happily recommend Gais Construction to anyone who is in search of a well-rounded construction company.

For us it’s never a question if we are partnering with Gais on our next project because we have never stopped partnering with them. Whether it’s Mike helping us dig a ditch for his workout on a hot Summer day or his foreman coming by to make sure a special project gets completed before service, they are amazing teammates and collaborators for our restaurant group.

I have worked with Gais Construction for over 12 years on various projects from restaurant build outs to multi-tenant ground up construction. I consistently depend on their services because of the quality of the work, timeliness in which schedules are executed and the fact that they always go above and beyond to meet my budgets. The thoroughness and diligence that they put into the front end of a job allows for accurate pricing, preventing massive surprises and change orders that I have experienced in the past. I have seen Gais Construction on many occasions work around the clock to meet deadlines for openings and target timelines. Their organization and communication coupled with their ability to lead and motivate sub-contractor talent has been a consistent theme on each of their jobs. I especially have appreciated their ability to bring enhanced knowledge to my jobs by providing value engineering further impacting my bottom line with cost savings.

Gais Construction was a great builder in the area who built my building, Japan Restaurant – Denver. When issues arose or changes needed to be made during construction, Lou, Kevin and their team quickly solved them with diligence. The project was completed according to plan and on time. Thank You Gais Construction and its team.

Charlie Quach, Japan Restaurant

Since Subway has many specifications to abide by when building new restaurants, I initially wanted to work with a general contractor who had built previous restaurants. Once I inspected the others, I was shocked at the lack of quality and detail. Since Gais Construction had come highly recommended, I decided to give them a try. I’m happy knowing my restaurant was built with quality and details in a timely manner. Gais is knowledgeable and specialized in interior upfits and renovation work. They had no qualms about working around the clock and sticking to Subway’s strict standards. Unlike other general contractors, they actually listened to my wants, needs and specs. I have gladly referred Gais Construction to other Subway restaurants.

Sally Hicks, Subway

Communications is #1 for me. Gais gave me updates frequently, so I always knew what was happening. If a problem came up I was notified immediately, so we could review all of the possible solutions and find an alternative without sacrificing time. I’m sure after some time they were tired of seeing my number pop up in their Caller ID, but they always called me right back. It didn’t matter to them if I made a thousand changes; they just wanted me to be happy with the final result.
