Mr. FITZGIBBONS responded quickly to my request for an estimate, which compared favorably with other estimates. He and his co-worker began work on the project promptly, and they kept in timely communication with me and showed me what they were finding as the project progressed. Both were very conscientious about the work, and Mr. FITZGIBBONS even had me walk up and down the deck steps to make sure that they felt secure and comfortable and that I could adjust to the slight difference from the old steps. Such concern and service were much appreciated. Overall, the deck and porch look much improved and should be much safer. The quality of the work should ensure that both last a good while. Although the final price was nearly double the original estimate, I understood that the project required additional wood and materials because of problems encountered that weren't originally visible and that the project required nearly double the amount of time than originally anticipated.
Description of Work: (A) DECK repairs: crooked railing section straightened, underside of deck reinforced with new beam, lattice replaced on two sides, and steps replaced; (B) PORCH repairs: supporting wood for railings replaced, wood around porch columns replaced, rotted wood underneath columns replaced

The cost to replace the porch turned out to be more than our budget, so we did not place a bid on the house.
Description of Work: Got a rough estimate on replacing/repairing a front porch on a home I was looking at buying. Didn't know exactly what was needed to bring the house up to code. Jim informed me that the whole porch and columns would need to replaced and that it would start at a minimum of $13,500 but it was tough to be sure. This was in the same ballpark as the other contractors I had contacted.

The guys that come and work on your house are very responsible. They show up when we are leavng for work, and we get home and see that they have done very good work. If there is any questions than they will call you about it. You don't have to babysit them or whine to the owner about their work. You can trust that they will do a nice job.

We didn't use them. We just didn't go with him, because he couldn't paint the house, apart from everything else. He was quite responsive. We would consider using him in future but we can't really say who will be working on it.

Fitz Gibben Construction has always been pretty good. We have an arrangement with them; we have sent in the deposit for them to do some work on our porch before it gets too cold. We are concerned more about the quality of the work than the price. We are also concerned about a trustworthy crew. In the past, we?ve had crew members from other companies who looked liked they were out of jail. We didn?t want crews like that, wherein we don?t want them in our house or where we don?t trust the work that they do. We don?t want to be afraid that they wouldn?t do the job right. We believe that in the end, you don?t remember the cost, but you do remember the people who did the job well. The crew from Fitz Gibben Construction did nice and neat work. They took extra effort in order to look nice. They were clear with us about what they were going to do and why they would be doing something. We could?ve got somebody else who was cheaper, but that wasn?t what we were looking for. They weren?t too punctual, but we felt that it was something that was beyond their control. However, we are very happy with their work.
Description of Work: We have hired Fitz Gibben Construction. We used them last, a year and a half ago. They are due to do some work on our porch next month.

This company was recommend to me by friends who had used them recently. I spoke with the owner about the work we needed done and we were told he would be out within the week to look at the job (complete rebuild of our front porches). I was told once he had a chance to look at the job and put together an estimate and get back to us. That was over a month ago and we still haven't heard from him!
Description of Work: Complete rebuild of front porch floors, ceilings, pillars, etc.

Response from Fitzgibbons Construction Inc
Sorry it didn't work out. I might have been discouraged when you said you were going to get 5 or 6 estimates and I was swamped at the time. I should have called and told you I couldn't make it.

Jim took three weeks to return our call to come out for an estimate. By this time we had already started calling other contractors because Jim was unresponsive. It turned out that he had been out of town, but there was nothing on his business voice-mail message to indicate that he would be unable to respond for several weeks. When he did finally contact us, we decided to go ahead and get an estimate from him since he came recommended by our painting contractor. Jim did come out and looked at the work we needed to have done, explained that he would get back to us with an estimate, but then we never heard from him again. We have since had the work done by another contractor. Nice guy, but he seems somewhat unprofessional in terms of running his business.
Description of Work: We called Jim Fitzgibbons, at the recommendation of our painting contractor, to do some carpentry related repairs to the exterior of our house prior to painting.
