GILLARD Construction & Remodeling in Valdosta, GA
Roofing, flooring, carpentry, painting and full remodels in Valdosta and the towns around it. One number to call for all of it.
“Your mind creates what my hands can make.”
Five trades,
one phone call
Most house projects touch more than one trade. A roof leak stains the ceiling. New floors mean new trim, and new trim needs paint. Gillard handles the whole chain, so you aren't lining up three contractors and hoping their schedules meet.
Roof repair and replacement
Leak repairs, storm damage and full roof replacements. South Georgia summers bring hard afternoon storms, and a small leak rarely stays small: water finds the decking, then the insulation, then your ceiling. If you see a stain, missing shingles or a sagging spot, call before the next rain. JJ will get up there, find where the water is coming in and tell you whether it needs a patch or a new roof.
Flooring installation
New floors installed, and worn ones pulled up and replaced. We check the subfloor first, because that is where most floor problems start. Soft spots, squeaks and uneven boards usually come from underneath, and new flooring laid over a bad base fails early. Tell us which rooms and what you want to walk on. We'll measure, price it and finish the trim at the edges.
Kitchen, bath and room remodeling
Kitchens, bathrooms and whole rooms. Tell us what you picture and we'll work out how to build it in the house you have. A remodel usually pulls in several trades at once: framing, floors, trim, paint, sometimes the roof above it. Having one contractor for all of them means one schedule, and one person to call when you have a question.
Carpentry and wood repair
Trim, doors, decks and framing, plus the repairs that need someone who can cut wood to fit. Older houses in Valdosta are rarely square, so stock parts don't always drop in. We replace rotted wood, rehang doors that stick in the humid months, and build what the room needs instead of what happened to be on the shelf.
Interior and exterior painting
Valdosta humidity is rough on paint, so the prep gets as much time as the color. That means washing, scraping, caulking and priming bare wood before any finish coat goes on. Indoors you get patched walls and clean lines at the trim. Outdoors you get a finish that holds up through a Georgia summer.
