“At every stage of the project, everyone was concerned about our needs and listened to our comments. More than that, every effort was made to accommodate us whenever we had a need or made a suggestion.”
“Our experience working with Gillis Gilkerson has been great. Between relocating our well, prepping the ground for the addition and assisting in researching our boundary lines, they didn’t waste any time in getting the project moving.”
“We recommend your people to all of our associates, and we thank you.”
Dwight Miller and his team at GGI did an outstanding job of renovating our Shore United Ocean City Bank. Greg Ennis was very responsive with any issues, and with all 40 year old buildings – there will always be issues - but they tackled them effectively and efficiently. They worked well with all of our outside vendors to facilitate a seamless integration of our specialized equipment. They delivered a great product for us – and we are very pleased with the results. I highly recommend them to anyone that is considering a commercial project. Their team is prepared, knowledgeable and professional. They have given new life to an old building.
Gillis Gilkerson was wonderful to work with – very professional, reasonable, and they were able to work with our timeline. The GGI team was able to work with our modest nonprofit budget and we now have a beautiful space that is affordable and accessible for our clients. I would highly recommend this top-notch outfit.
Working with GGI was a really good experience. I appreciated all the help in completing my project in a timely manner. I have been happy with the results.
Mike Truitt, Jared King, and the whole Gillis Gilkerson team were terrific during our build process, from planning to delivery. They were supportive throughout and worked very well with our industry specific vendors. The GGI team ensured quality work and an on-time delivery. They were especially supportive in providing regular communication and constructive response and feedback to our questions and changes. The GGI team were clearly prepared, knowledgeable, and professional. They delivered a great product, an Artisans’ Bank Retail Branch and Lending Center from which we are proud to serve the Rehoboth-Lewes communities.
From start to finish, Gillis Gilkerson was phenomenal to work with. Through the bid process they were completely on target and with the timeline of the project. Tyler Barnes is hard working and a pleasure to work with. He pushed the project through the short timeline and really went above and beyond to meet our deadline.
When the Lower Shore Chapter of the American Red Cross’s office was broken into, we immediately called Gillis Gilkerson. They responded immediately and made all of the necessary repairs at no charge. It looked better than ever!
(Gillis Gilkerson) made the entire construction process amazingly simple for us. They handled all the phases of the process … (and) there was always a construction foreman on site providing supervision. The best part of all was the final result – a well-designed, quality built office building
The global expertise in all aspects of the building construction and access to various sub-contractors was a blessing given the number of technical details that needed to be attended to while we obtained certification from the state health care officials.
For a design/build project it is unusual for the initial cost estimates and timing to be maintained and in this case the project was completed on time and the costs were held to the contract level. In going into a design/build project like this, one always wonders if the right decision was made on the contractor selected. Now that the project has been completed, I can say that I know we made the right decision with Gillis Gilkerson.
Dwight Miller’s … knowledge of pricing and quality gave us one of the nicest office structures in Salisbury. Thank you Gillis Gilkerson!

Thank you for going the extra step in making this complicated project a complete success for Draper Holdings and the entire Delmarva viewing audience.
