Gibson's Grading And Construction

Great job as always on maintaining the driveway and mowing.

David Gibsons work ethic and knowledge are impeccable. He performed and explained every detail of the job all for a very fair price. It went so well that I now consider David a friend and will absolutely use him for any future needs.

Excellent! David always does an outstanding job. He is dependable and keeps you updated on the process.

David was clearly a godsend for us. He did a deck and foundation repair but he can do just about anything. He is very knowledgeable, honest and affordable. It took us forever to find someone like him. He is well worth the wait.

Excellent. Davis and his crew were very dependable and reliable. He always let me know when he was going to be here and if he was going to be late he always sent me a message. His price was extremely fair. David is also a caring individual and a very fine Christian man.

David found structural issues in my attic from a tree falling on the house a couple of years ago. These issues had not been addressed by the roofers. He made necessary repairs in the crawl space as the house had settled. Very pleased with all of the repairs!

We had damage to the gravel driveway after 5 inches of rain. A culvert got blocked and the driveway washed out. David came the next day and graded it smooth. He made it more than passable. He made it better than before the rain event.

David was very helpful and proffesional. Our house was built in 1960 and had a lot of electrical issues. David re-wired everything and divided the circuits and was able to put everything into a single breaker box with no voltage losses. He helped us set up the new dishwasher and dryer as well as the garage door opener. He has always maintained our driveway which is a long, gravel uphill driveway. We would not let anyone else touch the driveway. He also dug a drainage trench which repaired one downspout on the house that had been leaking into the basement. And the last job for us was removal of a very large dying tree which was next to our parking area. He gave us a great price on all the work and stayed on budget. We highly recommend David, and will use him again for these type of projects around our home.

Highly recommend. Professional, timely, communicative, and fair priced. Will definitely be calling them again when we need maintenance.

Great job - From first contact with Gibson Grading to project completion! They were quick to respond, knew exactly what the best way to complete the project was, the work was excellent, and the price was very good. Would highly recommend!

Everything went as expected. This is the 3rd time David has worked on different areas of our very old log cabin. He is always professional, hard working, and updates us daily. He is the best!

David came and did excellent work on or wall I would highly recommend him and use him again

David was fantastic as usual! We didn't know he could also do some electrical work until we asked for a referral for an electrician. Will always use him for driveway maintenance and tree removal but will also hire for any future electrical issues as well.

David did an excellent job as always. He added gravel and scrapped the driveway which is now as smooth as driving a street. This is perhaps the fourth or fifth time David has done our driveway. He is always meticulous in his work.

On the morning of our project start date, David emailed us that due to lack of materials and some inclement weather, he had to postpone our project. The weekend prior, we had diligently moved, at his request, 20 plants out of the way for the new drainage system. A reschedule was not a problem. What was a problem was David never getting back to us with a reschedule date or any explanation as to the delay. He did not respond to our email requests. Very disappointed. Very poor customer service.

David recently did some interior work for me. One of those was installing a Ditra heated floor system by Schluter and then tiling it. David said he had done this numerous times so I trusted his expertise. After 18 days of the premixed adhesive not drying and being told by David that there must be something wrong with the chemical makeup of the adhesive (all 8 buckets) He said he had written the adhesive company emails about the product’s inability to dry but I never saw any even tho I repeatedly asked. I went on the Schluter website and they PROHIBIT the use of premixed adhesive on this flooring system, I asked David to call the Schluter company and he refused. All the tile had to be removed, along with a huge amount of wet adhesive. David would accept no responsibility (neither personal nor financial) for the project’s failure. I repeatedly requested for him to meet me half way with the big financial expense I was out, he said no and continued on with denying responsibility.

Contacted David regarding a heavy impact to a commercial building. He was prompt to respond and came out providing an estimate as promised. He was extremely professional, and very knowledgeable of how the impact effected different areas of the building and most importantly load bearing posts and the foundation. While working he was very conscientious of employees and clients being sure to let us know when he would be using loud equipment necessary for repairs. Areas outside the building he put caution tape to ensure everyone’s safety. Competed job in a very timely manner and was polite and a pleasure to work with. Would absolutely hire again.

David Gibson is truly a gem. I hasten to speak his praises too much as then he’ll be really difficult to get to do work….but he’s too great not to share. After dealing with a bunch of slimy contractors David is like a breath of fresh air. The main focus of the work was supporting the floors and adding a proper sump pump to drain away from the foundation. He’s knowledgeable, hardworking and honest, went above and beyond, and exceeded what my o’ so low expectations of contractors has become. His Dad often accompanies him and assists David in some projects….they are both a pleasure to work with. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat…and indeed I am.

This was the second time that we were fortunate to have David and his father work on our very old, mountain log cabin. He found and repaired many issues to the foundation, joists, outside wall, and leveling everything up. Crawl space is limited, but they were able to reach the areas. Again, his work is perfection.

I would highly recommend David. After finding him on Angi, I had him inspect a slope and retaining wall on a house we are looking to purchase in Franklin. The home inspector had noted some settling of the porch, and I worried about the stability of the slope underneath the porch. The current owners had a local person build a retaining wall a few years prior, and they were convinced that any erosion issues had been resolved. However, David immediately pointed out to me that the current retaining wall wasn't built properly and was failing to do its job. Already, there was so much erosion that he could literally slide his hand under the base of the retaining wall, and he warned that we were sitting on a time bomb. In fact, David said it would literally be only a matter of months before we had a much bigger problem on our hands. I contacted the owners, and -- about a month later-- they agreed to have David fix the problem. Even from the time when David first came out, more erosion had occurred in the ensuing several weeks -- just as he had warned. He did a great job of building a much more substantial wall and also graded the top of the driveway to fix a drainage issue. I can't imagine the mess we'd have had to deal with if the problem had not been addressed. Before contacting David, I'd spent a good bit of time researching contractors in the area. The mountains are wonderful, but they are also home to a number of contractors who do very questionable work (as evidenced by the contractor who built the first retaining wall). When I saw that David had over 250 positive reviews on Angi, I knew I'd found our contractor! He did not disappoint. If you're looking for someone you can trust to do slope or foundation work, look no further. David is your man.

David did a wonderful job repairing our wood floors, subfloor, joists, foundation, and outside drainage. It took me two years to locate the right contractor with the level of knowledge, experience, dedication, creativity, confidence, and willingness to work on our 200 year old log cabin with a 60 year old foundation. The floor system was failing from the ground up. I found David on this website. The glowing reviews confirmed that I had found the right person to match with the needed repairs. It was a lot of hard, physical labor involved. David cared about our historic cabin and removed the old floor boards carefully so that they could be re installed. The floors are level and strong now. He completed the project in under three weeks. There are so many other issues that he discovered and repaired. I will hire him again for phase two and three! We are so thankful and grateful to David and his father! And thanks for this helpful site to introduce contractors to frustrated homeowners and show legitimate reviews.

David is professional, dependable and went above and beyond to make our property better. He was open to our questions and provided solutions without any pressure. He is trustworthy and kind. Moreover, when he fixes something -it’s fixed. We’d hire him again in a second.

David did an excellent job. He has maintained our long gravel driveway and also mowed the driveway and pastor and removed trees on the property. He is very professional and always finishes the job on schedule and budget. We highly recommend David and will continue to use his services to maintain our driveway and property.

David was professional and wonderful to work with. He exceeded our expectations with the quality of work and finished both of our needed projects quickly. I will definitely call him again for future needs!

This is the third project David has done for us and he once again was meticulous, professional and swift to respond to all correspondence. I highly recommend him for any repair or maintenance job related to grading, retaining walls, land sculpting, etc. Reasonable rates combined with expertise and honesty. We will definitely use him again.
