Before The Building Doctor, Esq. was established the owner worked as an Elevator Constructor. During this time he bought his first home and began seeking ways to make an extra income. As most young people can relate, when you purchase your first home there are many costs that comes along with it. Due to this Gary took on a side job providing maintenance work for a very large real estate company in Lincoln Park. At this time Gary used his specialties to assist the real estate company with repairs, remodeling, and maintenance work on single family homes, multi-family unit rental properties, and small commercial businesses. Once he developed a client base Gary quickly turned his side job into a flourishing full time business and to this day enjoys the challenge of tackling any job no matter the size along with his crew.
