Gibson's Grading And Construction

Great job. Communication great. Prices fair. Work was performed with quality in mind. Work performed on-time and as scheduled including clean up. Polite, respectful and kept homeowner up to date on construction. Thanks

The new retaining wal is not only very functional but looks great. This is the second job David has done for us and once again he proved he's a professional. In fact we have him lined up to re-pave our entires driveway later this summer. Can't go wrong hiring Gibson Grading!

Multiple attempts by phone and email to contact contractor with zero response.

Garage has never leaked again, even during day after day rains in Asheville

David replied to our request for an estimate right away. The day that he was scheduled to arrive, he was punctual and gave an honest, straight forward bid for the job we needed done - a breath of fresh air, and quite a change from the no-shows and inflated, over priced bids we had gotten before! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and was experienced in exactly the types of job we needed him to perform. I have no doubt that he could have gotten the job done in a timely and professional manner. Ultimately, we opted to use another company, but only because the cost of materials was lower as their material is sourced from the same mountain we are located on. We would highly recommend David Gibson to anyone looking for an excavator in the greater Asheville area.

David was excellent in every way. He was particularly thoughtful and creative as to the best way and materials to use. He made adjustments as his work proceeded based on the difficulties he encountered. The wall ultimately required more time and materials then he estimated, but he did not ask me to absorb the extra cost. Throughout the week it took, he kept me informed daily, was punctual in his arrival and kept the sight neat and clean. I would happily work with him again.

Very well. David Gibson began the project as promised and completed it on time and on budget. We're pleased with the quality of his work and with his responsiveness and professionalism. We recommend Gibson Grading and Construction to others in the Asheville area.

We needed a drain to channel water away from our foundation. This house is in a very wet area and water was channeling down on our property.

Perfectly. I was able to get a large moving truck up the hill with no problems.

David was great! We needed to get water issues solved in a house we were buying in order to close in a short time frame. David rearranged his schedule to help us make the closing happen. His expertise solved the problem by installing French drains around the entire house. He also removed paneling in the basement and repaired cracks in the foundation wall and water proofed the walls. Problem solved. David went above and beyond what we expected and helped us solve a problem we were not quite sure of. He made plenty of suggestions for future improvements and our realtor was so impressed by his expertise that she has found a new resource for her other clients as well. I would highly recommend David.

The driveway has been finished for a few weeks now and gets firmer and more compacted as time passes. Outstanding work from real professionals.

David responded promptly to my inquiry, came out to discuss the project, and provided a quote within a day of his visit. He listened carefully to what I wanted to do and made great suggestions to improve the outcome. The grading of a very long, gravel driveway at the new house was a serious problem and lack of maintenance over the years had taken its toll as well. Rain tended to run toward the house and the driveway was choked with weeds. David changed the slope of the drive so water will flow away from the house, removed old collapsed and clogged pipes, installed new drains, and laid new gravel. In taking out a decrepit block stairway, he operated the backhoe-loader with near surgical precision. Great fun to watch and very impressive! While David worked on the driveway, his father—a very interesting guy, too—hauled debris away and fetched new gravel. They’re a very efficient team. Personable, professional, and highly skilled, David was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He managed to fit this project into a busy schedule and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Finding someone reliable to undertake home repairs or improvements is stressful, and I feel very fortunate to have found David. I hope to the opportunity to work with him again on future projects.

I talked to several road people before I found Gibson Grading. The first thing he did was Ask me my budget. Then he was ableto tell me what he could do for me. We sent the dates, and he was there as planned. He did MORE than I had the money for, made a huge difference in the road, and we have interest in the property we have for sale now. I found David to be a man with integrity, a real thinker, and very big on customer service. He cares about his customers, and does everything he can, going above and beyond, to do the job that needs doing. I will use him again and tell everyone I know about him. Thank you David!

Fantastic. Great to work with. Communication A+. Work ethic A+. Value A+.

Started as scheduled. Worked on the project every day even with snow on ground. Completed on schedule and is a great guy on top of it all. Can highly recommend this company.

David did an outstanding job of a need to expand our driveway. Would highly recommend. Very professional.

He did a great job and was very nice and professional. Very accurate as to when he could start.

Excellent. David came out quickly and gave an estimate that day. He had an opening the following week and was able to get the foundation taken care of over four days. This included excavating, removing rhododendrons that were part of the problem, pouring a new footer, repairing the cracked block, and putting everything back together. Additionally, some downspout lines were relocated to empty further away from the house. We couldn't have been happier with the work and will be getting some landscaping work done in the future through Gibson's Grading and Construction.

David Gibson put in a beautiful road for us through our property when the road behind our house collapsed in late December of 2015. We needed to provide access for out neighbors to be able to get out and David did an incredible job at that time. This job which was completed in November of 2016 was annual maintenance, widening of the road and reinforcement of a steep area at the top of the road. As always, David did a professional, excellent job. He is one of the nicest people we have ever worked with and we trust him completely. He is professional, friendly, punctual and is always willing to work with his customers, especially if they are in financial straits. I would give him higher than an A if possible. Will definitely be hiring him again and recommend him highly.

After David assessed the damage, he gave me a complete and detailed estimate of the work to be done. As it turned out, the cracks were present because there was no footer in two 8 foot sections of the house. He knew about the first one but not the second. This was important, for the reason that he did not change his charges for the work. He even found three other problems that needed repair, and charged for neither! I feel fortunate that he is a civil engineer rather than simply a contractor because of the nature of the project, yet he was able to describe the work to be done in terms a layman can understand Being an engineer, he is a perfectionist, that is, he made sure that the job was done correctly. In addition, he apprised me of the progress throughout the seven days it took. As well, he provided me with pictures of the work from the crawl space. His communication skills are, simply put, excellent. Furthermore, his manner remained pleasant, personable and professional, despite the fact that he had to drag 4 cubic yards of concrete, bag by bag, into the crawl space, mix and pour, and attach the new footers to the old ones with rebar. In sum, it is hard to believe that I was able to have someone who performed a job like this so accurately, professionally, and by a person who is so pleasant to work with and dedicated to his work. If I have the misfortune to have a similar problem in the future, I’d hire him in a heartbeat.

David was great! We were previously familiar with David and his dad's company from a previous quote we needed on a community road project. We were never able to complete that task because of no interest from other property owners. We knew to call David when we needed our new house driveway redone. He gave us a fair quote and came as scheduled. Done in a day and a half. Driveway is SOOOOO much better now! I'm very happy and David is a great guy.

Excellent! We called David, who returned our call that evening. He was able to come and inspect our driveway quickly as he was in our area doing another job. David called us that evening and explained what would need to be done and the estimate. Lucky for us he had an opening between jobs and would be able to come then. We have a shared part of driveway with our lower neighbors. They were concerned about that area but David spoke with them and adjusted how he was going to complete the drainage. (Making for happy neighbors) He completed the job (refurbished driveway, dug out areas for water to flow away and hauled in road bond) all in one day. It was a pleasure doing business with David and we will be calling on him again to help with our backyard drainage.

Great work! David was so helpful and kept in constant contact throughout the project. We just bought the home and it was in need of some drainage and crawlspace work before we could move in. He exceeded our expectations and did extra work not included in our quote for no additional cost (installed a mailbox, built a new crawlspace access door, removed an old basketball pole concrete foundation in the driveway, repaired a well connection). After installing the drains, he seeded the area. He even put up with a snake problem we had. Gibson's Grading and Construction is a reliable company that you can count on to get your project done. We highly recommend David and plan to hire him again for other projects.

David and his crew did a great job! They got the job done quickly and did more than what was promised. They were actually in Rutherford County when I contacted David and he remembered to get in touch with me 3 weeks later when they returned. My driveway was a disaster and is 10x better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Began to collapse again after about 3 weeks. Am still waiting for a return to check it.
