Gibson's Grading And Construction

David is very conscientious and concerned about getting the job done right. Communication was outstanding and he is great to work with. I highly recommend him.

David did just excellent work! He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He analyzed my house's issues in a way that made good sense to me and without my feeling that he was attempting to sell me more than was needed. He's personable and easy to work with. The best!

David Gibson was extremely professional. Came out to inspect the job and discussed the scope of work along with an estimate of cost. He arrived on time each day And because he owns all of his own equipment he completed the weeklong job within the time He specified. His knowledge, education and experience in the construction and grading industry was paramount in resolving our issues. We would most definitely use David Gibson for any grading, Gravel, road bond, etc. That we need done in the future and highly recommend his expertise and professionalism.

David was incredibly prompt, responsive and professional. My wife and I were struggling with our driveway and David has us completely taken care of within a week. Graded, been gravel, and flattened down and now we can safely get up and down our driveway. Couldn’t recommend David enough.

From the start, David obviously knew what he was doing. He installed drains to remove excess water from our yard and direct it away from the house, installed pop-up water dispersers, tied in HVAC discharge lines, and other misc. We are very happy with the work he did and expect positive results in the future. Thanks David!

This is the third time David has worked on the driveway and he did a fantastic job, not only with the maintenance, he also cleared high grass blocking views, low limbs hitting the cars and high limbs overhanging the utility lines. All the work was done at very reasonable price. We highly recommend David and will not use anyone else for our driveway.

This was the fourth job we had David do for us. He’s super easy to work with and has the ability to envision what it is we wanted accomplished. He graded the entire (small) backyard, installed a foundation drain and paved the area with granite slabs. His work is always above standard. I love the way the yard looks now and it’s much more usable. Integrity, honesty and fairness are the reasons we hire David time and again.

I had such a mess! The first time my finished basement flooded it came in the door. The next TWO times it came in the back wall at the ground level--after I had the huge pool filled in. David designed a solution for the side yard that included diverting the water down the driveway and into the street drain. He did a gravel-filled drain across the end of the drive. He was going to do a driveway channel drain and grate across the drive in front of the garage and exterior door but found there was a sewage pipe there, so he designed another gravel drain there. The backyard got multiple drains at different levels down the length of the yard. As soon as that was complete, the side of the house, which was ALWAYS wet, dried out completely! David is so professional. He explains his plans in depth so you know what's going to happen. He put down grass seed and straw, moved and then replanted plants, and had to dispose of huge pieces of cement that came out of the yard where the pool was. I can't say how pleased I am to have my house safeguarded. David is the real deal.

During some of the recent heavy rains we found that our old gravity drain was actually draining water from the yard back into our basement. In 4 hours we had 2000 gallons of water come in. David came out to see the house within days of our initial call. He was thorough in his assessment and provided us a quote the same day. We agreed to the proposed work and he put us on his schedule. The work was completed in the time frame originally estimated. David and his father were punctual and easy to work with. Every call or text was answered promptly. This weekend we had 4+ inches of rain in less then 24 hours. Drains and pumps worked perfectly and we have a completely dry basement. We recommend David Gibson with no reservations.

Wonderful. David was great. He even brought along a broom to tidy up!!

Work went great! David and his Father showed up when they said they would, completed the work within the estimated time period and kept me informed during the entire process. David also provided some good advice on the asphalt estimates we were securing. Very pleased with his work as well as his professionalism and friendliness!

It could not have been better. David is thoughtful and knowledgeable. He listened and made things end up exactly as I wanted only better.

David managed to get me a great deal on the material. He arrived as per our agreement and did a professional job. He is very sincere and care about his work.

We have a two story garage that was built against a steep bank. The excessive and continuous pressure of the earth made the concrete blocks buckle and crack. There is also an enclosed porch that is built over the area where the dirt needed to removed. We hired Gibson's contracting for the job, as he gave us the best solutions and price. We are so happy that we did! David is very professional and does what he says he is going to do. He is direct, yet courteous. He was on time everyday and completed the job for that days task.He worked in terrible weather, rain, sleet,snow, and always had a ready smile when we would go to check on him. In order to save the enclosed porch, he hand shoveled at least 2 tons of dirt . YES, let me repeat that ... HE HAND SHOVELED 2 TONS of PACKED, COLD, and GRANITE filled DIRT! AND it was bitterly cold those 3 days ... I truly do not believe we would have talked another contractor into doing that ... it would have been, bye bye porch, and they would have used their mechanical rigs for this task. This saved us a lot of money, since we didn't need to tear down, haul off, and rebuild that porch! David was here everyday, and always called to let us know that he was enroute with an approximate arrival time! Every task was finished for that day and he would tell us exactly what he had planned for the next day! Sure can't say that for previous contractors that we have hired in the past! :) We also had a retaining that needed to be replaced, and David did a beautiful job tiering that bank and adding boulders! We are so happy and proud of that area now! It was such a eyesore, but now, it is a awesome space! Would we hire Gibson's contracting again? OH YES ... WE WILL!

It was an excellent service. The crew are courteous, professional, and very polite. Their communication is excellent. And when they left, you wouldn't know that they were there.

This was the third job David has done for us. We have no qualms about calling him to do other work. He has proved to us his work is great and his price is more than fair. In fact he will be back next month to do a patio make-over for us. Highly recommend.

It has been 2+ years since Gibson Grading and Construction removed an old wood sagging retaining wall and added a curved three-tier retaining wall. This wall is located right next to a state road and gets a lot of rushing water by it. The wall has not moved at all and I have not even noticed any “Settling.” It looks as beautiful as when first built. I have had a small amount of sediment go through wall during heavy rains, but believe that to be because of a mole problem in the area and some sediment is to be expected in this type of build. Love it, well worth the investment and am thankful for their hard work and David’s great design eye.

Did a fantastic job first rate did not cut corners.

It went amazingly well! David responded very quickly to every text or emailed question, and was at the site exactly when he said he would be without fail. He listened to what we wanted, figured out a reasonable way to make it happen, and did highly skilled, professional work. He even let us know a specific time frame for scheduling so that we could get a discount on the filler from another demolition site, and brought his delightful father with him a couple times. What a team they were! - friendly, funny, respectful, working hard all the while, producing on time and getting the job done well. My old pool area is now a flourishing garden and we are so very happy with his work!

David does not stand by his work. We made a substantial investment in his work and when we continued to have issues he was quick to make excuses and not take any responsibility. When we initiated this project, he suggested what we could do to resolve water issues in our basement; we chose to go above and beyond his initial recommendation and paid him to do another level of preventative work. We wanted peace of mind. We have never had that. In instances of heavy raining weather we still have water coming in our basement from the area where he previously worked. When we’ve tried to address this with him, he becomes very defensive and has accused me of wanting free work. Nothing could be further from the truth, we will not work with David Gibson again. I feel it is our responsibility to make others aware of our experience. I anticipate he will write a defense of this review as he’s done with previous negative reviews; this only further demonstrates his unwillingness to take responsibility for his work.

I hired David to fix the sagging master bath for a real estate client. Previous contractor had not taken the weight of all the tile in the new master bath so center beam had split. David had to hand dig for new and larger footers and put in new center support. Everything went very smoothly. Cleanup was excellent. David is really good about emailing about the progress and attaching photos when helpful. I will definitely recommend him to my clients and use him at my house.

What can I say? This is the 3rd project David has done for me. The 2nd project was this past October (2018). I had a flood in my basement because of a pipe burst back in July. I also had years and years of water seepage in my basement that caused mold that is dangerous to one's health. I had a well known local large company that takes care of flood issues and also mold treatment come to my home. I had them come several times, including one time with my insurance adjuster. Over the several times they came, there was inconsistency in their information, especially on a price point and included services. Due to their inconsistency, I began to distrust them. They finally sent me a quote for only the water removal they had done as an emergency and for what they call a flood cut of the sheet rock, removal of "wet" insulation and moving hot water heater and toilet/small vanity. It was much more than I expected. They had a charge for even moving my belongings in the basement. While David was at the house for the drainage system he put in my yard, I asked him to look over my needs in the basement. Once I received the quote from this well known, large local company, i sent it over to David who said he would match their price but would also do the mold removal and repair of the sheet rock for that same price. I was amazed that David would do the work at a price that was half, if not more of what the large company would have charged for the same work. David said he and his dad could have the project completed in a week. Very timely, responsive, professional and sociable. I highly recommend David for any project needs that he might be able to do for you at a very reasonable price.

David did work for me about 4 years ago and he was the first person I thought of to do my project of a drainage system to prevent further water seepage into my basement. Like before, he came to assess the situation and offered his advice for what he would recommend. He also gave a price for the project on the spot. His price was amazing! David and his dad arrived as promised and were able to complete the job in one day. The drainage system he installed has made at this time a complete 360 degree turn on the seepage problem I was having in the basement. I can't express my appreciation enough to David and his dad. Again, I highly recommend him for your project needs. Please don't hesitate to have him work for you!!

Wow! David and his dad, Joe, just finished the project today. They did a fantastic job of installing a new treated wood retaining wall on our slope, about 50 feet in length. The original wood wall was failing, and David and his dad installed a treated wood wall that also incorporated a concrete reinforced buttress system that should last at least 30 years. They also reinforced a portion of our long driveway that was pinching in due to erosion. David and Joe worked together as a team and got the job done in a few days around our fickle wet weather. The job site was clean and David was very responsive with email communication. There was one extra gutter drainage pipe added during the job. They also hauled away all debris and kept the jobsite looking great. I would call David in for any work related to grading, excavation and construction. . . he is multi-talented. Thank you, Guys!

David Gibson is a true professional. We had to have our driveway regraded due to the fact the last vendor really messed it up and we needed help. After meeting with several vendors, David took the time to really explain how this was going to work and what was needed to accomplish the job well. Other quotes were for a single stone to be placed down and compressed -- David far surpassed these previous temporary fixes by methodically placing various stones including railroad ballast as layers to achieve a smoother, more weather efficient solution, cleared out the troubled areas and regraded the road to achieve maximum water runoff. This guy absolutely knows what he is doing and a complete pleasure to work with on any project from start to finish. Literally, the best vendor we used since building our house from the ground up. We cannot say enough good things about David Gibson as a vendor and a person, he is A+++!
