David and his Father did a great job replacing my drains around my house. Everything was explained and demonstrated. The job was completed in a timely fashion and David followed up to make sure everything was- is alright. I have already desided to use them for further improvements around my house.

I hired Gibson and Grading to repair my deck that was in bad shape from the previous owner. David removed all the top boards and rails from my large deck and replaced them with new treated wood and used deck screws. I am very happy with the job and the cost was very reasonable. I am very happy with this work. I'll be hiring David again for future projects.

This is a 2nd time I have used Gibson Grading and Construction. My driveway is very steep and I hired David to re-grade the driveway to reduce the grade slope percentage and install road bond. He put in an S-turn and dropped the driveway slope percentage down and installed two culverts. He installed the two culverts and placed large stones at the openings. He placed grass seed and straw where needed for erosion control. I also had David cut in an access road to my lower meadow. I am extremely happy with this work. David and his father go out of their way to make sure the job it done correctly and I am planning for additional projects for Gibson Construction next year. I highly recommend this company.

his Driveway was extremely steep and drainage was not very good, we looked at several ideas to reduce grade, we decided to add an s type turns which helps reduce grade, this worked well and was able to reduce grade better than projected. we installed new culverts,ditch lines then added binder then road bond. it was not easy because it was the time we had 20 inches of rain in may. everything went well and I enjoyed working with him and his wife again. Thank you for letting us work on your driveway

The project went very well. We were away from home while the work was being done but David kept us informed of the progress. He was reliable and professional in all respects. The retaining wall is built from large, dry stacked stones and is more attractive than I'd expected. We would hire him again and recommend his company to others.
Description of Work: We hired Gibson's Grading and Construction to enlarge the parking area at the top of our sloping driveway to create a parking space for our rv. This involved building a retaining wall, providing drainage, and filling in with gravel.

They was needing an area for their rv, we looked at different options and found an area which would need a retaining wall, they liked the idea of Rock and boulders. we cleaned area then excavated, installed drain, then built wall while filling with road bond. it turned out great and made them a larger area for camper. I enjoyed working with them and I appreciate you letting us work on your project

David completed a few big jobs for me last year and I happily hired him again recently to deal with a problem wet area along the back of the house and to scrape out the remnants of an old gravel driveway. He's the only person I'll consider for grading, drains, and hardscaping. He's very knowledgeable and, after inspecting the site, he explains what needs to be done, gives a very fair cost estimate, and returns promptly to carefully and efficiently to complete the job. I'd say he's meticulous in his work. After installing French and engineered drains in back, scraping out gravel from the old drive, spreading topsoil, and seeding, he installed over a dozen boulders on a slope where I've wanted to create a rock garden. It looks beautiful. David is easy to talk with and work with, and I look forward to hiring again in the future.

Dave is fantastic. He has done 2 big jobs for me. One was widening and improving a gravel driverway and the other was the removal of a giant tree that fell and crushed my deck. He was punctual, reponded to email/phone calls, and did what he said he would do. His prices were very fair and I will use him everytime I have the need. Also cleans up the work site when the job is completed.

I highly recommend Gibson's Grading and Construction. I had a leaking basement and contacted David Gibson to give an opinion and estimate on a fix. During the assessment I could tell David is very knowledgeable in this area. He made a recommendation which made sense to me and quoted a comparable price. He told me at the outset it would be several weeks before he could get to my project. During this time I had several questions that I sent through text or email and David answered every question and concern promptly. I found him to be kind, reliable and honest. In fact, he did extra work he saw that I needed without additional charge, including replacing leaking downspouts and even removing a small, dead tree. In my opinion, David Gibson is a top-notch professional with a good work ethic and good communication. I highly recommend him.

The house where it is located was getting water in the basement, we installed engineered drain system and found gutter down spouts was leaking so we went ahead and installed new downspout pipes. In the basement we added steel supports and done other repairs plus added heavy duty coating to the wall. She had a tree that was dead and since we was on-site we went ahead and took care of it. Everything went well and we enjoyed working with her. Thank you and we look forward to working on your next project

We called David Gibson and he came out right away. He was very professional, and gave us a reasonable estimate for the job, both money and time wise, with a generous discount for having found him through Angie's list. He did a wonderful job rebuilding the entire driveway, dealing with unpredictable weather, and did it staying on budget and finishing ahead of schedule. The driveway is in the best condition it has ever been. He was very knowledgeable, and made recommendations based on the driveway conditions as the job progressed, keeping us informed every day with his work plan. We are very happy with the results, and will never let anyone but David touch the driveway in the future. We highly recommend his company.
Description of Work: We have a long very steep and curvy gravel driveway, which was extremely bad condition, and needed to be rebuilt.

David came out to assess the issue the day after I notified his business via Angie’s List email. I was impressed with his understanding and evaluation of what had to be done to fix the bad drainage that existed. He suggested that I have additional downspouts & gutters installed in the area needing the drainage fix, and I followed his advice on that. He came out a few weeks later and spent 2 days waterproofing my home’s lower level, and 2 more days doing the outside work. He knows his stuff, and if I could rate him A+, I would. He not only did the job we agreed needed doing, he completely corrected other elements that had led to the problem drainage. In other words, folks, he went above and beyond. I was so pleased to have found such a wonderful person to work with. Would I hire him again? I already am in his job queue for something else that I want fixed. David Gibson is an upstanding, honest, ethical business man who knows his stuff. Thanks again, David!

she contacted us about her foundation and issues she was having, when she gave the address there was something familiar about it when arrived to look over I remembered being there before, we looked over the issues and came up with a plan to fix, when I got back to my office I looked over notes I had put away and sure enough I looked at it in 2005 with different homeowners but they did not have it fixed back in 2005, issues had grown worse since 2005. I gave her the price I gave in 2005 even thou it was in worse shape, we spent 2 days waterproofing wall which we applied 4 coats, during this time I noticed a plumbing issue so we went ahead and fixed it before it broke a line. we moved to the outside for another 2 days installed gutterdownspout drains and foundation drains. everything went well and I enjoyed working with her, later this year I will return to fix deck issues she has, thank you for choosing us

His backyard was in dire need of grading, it was very bumpy and steep in one area to be able to walk around, luckley he had enough dirt in the area to regrade . we took a track loader and track hoe and moved dirt around and matched the transition in the current yard where slope was gentle giving it a natural gentle slope look. after we completed rough grade we took a heavy rake and smoothed grade and prepped it for landscaping. the grade turned out real nice and thank you for choosing us, I look forward to your next project

the side of the driveway was eroding off and undermining under the concrete, the cause of this was water and when the original rock was installed a shelf was not built to place rock thus caused failure. We started out excavating along the side of the driveway and building a shelf for the rock boulders, we filled in areas where it was undermined with concrete, installed a catch basin then started stacking rocks plus filled in a spillway for the gutter downspout pipes below wall. while I was onsite I went ahead and scraped the driveway because it was very bumpy. everything went well and I enjoyed working with him on this project, later on we plan to build a waterfall and pond for them. Thank you for letting us work on your project

As a real estate professional, I have requested Mr. Gibson twice and both times, I was able to save a real estate transaction because of his knowledge and expertise. I have a seller who had a serious fracture in a retaining wall in which Mr. Gibson not only repaired the situation, but improved it greatly. My second client, a buyer, fell in love with a home with structural issues. Normally, I would encourage my client to walkaway, but Mr. Gibson showed us how we can secure the problem and not worry about further issues with this home. This gave both my buyer and me piece of mind, as we no longer have concerns about the integrity the home nor the resale value. Neither sale would have happened without him... Now I have two very happy. clients under contract. Thanks to David Gibson. Thank you David.
Description of Work: Repair very large retaining wall and repair structural damage in corner of home. Also dealt with the original problem which caused the issue in both cases of improper water drainage.

Twice now he’s done roadwork and grading for me. This second time he gave me an excellent parking area on a brushy lot, and in addition, threw in about 500’ of a walkable road into property so could get better feel for the land. I will use him for all my work and developments I do in future. He communicates in a very timely matter; he’s amazing at follow up; does what he says he’s going to do and always has given me more than what he said. And, the first time I hired him to grade and repair about 1700 linear feet of road, of the 5 road comoany’s I interviewed, he’s the only one who asked once we walked the road, what my budget was. Then he gave me options. I have a great deal of respect for David. I highly recommend him!

Gibson Grading and Construction did a superior job for us. From determining the problem, offering more than one solution, helping fit the solution to our budget, staying in touch, doing exactly what was promised, and more than expected. David Gibson thinks outside the box and finds the best solution for his customer. He followed up initial visit promptly with a written quote. He worked closely with us while on the job and consulted us each time there were decisions and changes to the project. He did the work himself rather than dropping off a crew and leaving. Being present and hands-on allowed him to make excellent suggestions for improving the scope of work as he deconstructed a retaining wall and landscaped the area. He stayed in touch with us from quote, to beginning and end of the 2 week project. His suggestion to landscape the area instead of replacing a failing retaining wall improved the looks of our yard and solved a drainage problem. His time spent on the job was exactly what he promised and he rearranged his schedule to rush our project since our home was for sale. He cares about his customers. I would rehire him for any type of work in his many areas of expertise. David is experienced, takes care and pride in his work and stays in touch better than any contractor I've ever worked with. Our home sold quickly after his work was complete.

She contacted us about a large wall that was leaning and was failing and wanted a few ideas how to solve it, we looked at tearing wall down and building a rock type small boulder wall but due to cost since it was a large project we looked at other ideas, since the wall was beyond repair we elected to tear down and slope the bank,the current wall was in 3 sections so we tore down 2 sections and the thirdsection near the house was in good shape so we used this a jump wall then started grading, I showed her building the slope in tiers vs general slope so we tiered the bank on multiple levels and once we was done we added oak mulck. everything went well and we enjoyed working with her, thank you for choosing us and I look forward to working with you in the future

We re graded the side of the house and installed a catch basin and gutter downspout pipes and diverted water away. under the house in the crawl space we removed mold and performed clean air filtration.

He called us his wall, drive way and a spillway at his house, the railroad tie wall was failing the rock on spillway was not working well and the driveway needed to be refurbished. During the project he was out of town so I took pictures of progress as well as gave reports, the first thing we done was to tear down old wall haul off and construct new locking block wall, this was a challenge due to 1 post and foundation of the house but we was able to work around those areas, when wall was built I was able to widen upper parking area which helped with parking. next we refurbished driveway and widen in places we could then spread wash stone on the driveway and beside the house to heat pump. we hauled in larger rock for waterfall area and redone splash way and fixed rock at the top so it was stable. The project went well and it was a big difference, thank you for letting us work on your project and I look forward to working with you on the next project

I hired Gibson Grading and Construction to inspect the foundation on a home I was purchasing during the Due Diligence period after a home inspection found a major moisture and mold issue in the unfinished basement and attic. The owner, David Gibson, provided a reasonable quote to resolve these issues, I was able to use his quote to negotiate down the price on the home and I purchased it. The proposal provided consisted of installing an engineered drainage system where water was not draining away from the foundation, coating the unfinished basement with an isq waterproofing agent, mold mitigation in the basement and attic, repair gutter drainage issues and grade a large 7' wide swell on the top of the hill to divert water away from the home. David was polite, punctual and professional and the job was done right. During the repair work, David found a few other minor issues with leaking downspouts and a recommendation to replace mulch with rock near the foundation and repaired them at no additional cost. I was so happy with David's work that I have hired him to completely renovate my deck and I am on his schedule. David has been in business over 20 years, owns all his construction equipment and has what it takes to get the job done right. The numerous Angie's List positive reviews was a factor in my decision to hire this company. I strongly recommend Gibson Grading and Construction for any project if you need an honest job done at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: Basement high humidity, moisture, waterproof sealing, drainage and mold mitigation.

After he contacted me I went out and looked over the areas of concern and found moisture and mold issues in the basement and attac and gave recommendations to repair, we started off behind the house installing an engineered drain system with catch basin, as we progressed I found gutter down spout under the deck and French drain that was not hooked up correct so we re connected everything plus we moved dirt under the deck so drainage would drian away from foundation. Near rock wall we installed and attached an exit pipe to diran to divert water awa from corner of the wall. In the basement we applied 5 coats of foundation coating to block and in the attic we performed mold remediation. in the front there is a u shape area was collecting water so we installed drain along with river rock to divert water away, we found two gutter downspouts that was not hooked up correct and leaking water so we fixed that as well. At the top of the hill above rock wall I took trackhoe and excavated a 7ft wide slope to divert water away from house and wall. everything went well and we enjoyed working with them, I look forward to redoing deck they have in September, thank you for letting us work on your project

I called David this morning and received a call back within five minutes. What a pleasant surprise to have him come to our house within thirty minute to look at our site and quote us a very reasonable price. David graded a small area for us and put down road bond. While he was here, my husband spoke to him about additional work on our driveway for another time. We received a quote for that work, but before leaving David cleared the sides of our driveway to improve runoff after rains, no additional charge. We enjoyed our experience with David. His work ethic, professionalism, and consideration to go an extra mile are much appreciated. We will call again!

I can't say enough good things about David and they work they did. He was on schedule, within budget and kept us in the loop throughout the project. He went out of his way to make sure we understood the process and spent time explaining potential future issues that we need to keep an eye on. We will definitely be hiring Gibson again.
Description of Work: We had stair step cracks in our foundation. David thoroughly inspected the entire structure and recommended adding six jacks to help ease the load. He also modified the footer along the back side of the house and filled in all the cracks.

Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
I met with them to look over areas of concern and I found out several areas that was causing the issues, one of them was the weight of the house was putting the smaller concrete block to its static limit of what it could stand! We also found the footing on frontside of the house was out of square 5inches and when it reached to the left side the concrete block actually pooked out 1 inch over footing end which caused major crack in foundation.! We went in build a modified wide footing for front side of the house to stabilize foundation and added a wider footprint to weight. inside basement we build 2 large beams with a total of 6 jacks and the placement of the beams and jacks distributed weight load to reduce stress on the block. this stabilized the areas and reduced pressure on block. My concern which I did share with them was the foundation block is to small for structure, and we do have plans in place in case other parts of foundations start this in the future which we will have to do the same thing. They was away during the time we was there so I emailed daily reports and send pictures of progress, I appreciate you letting us work on your project
