Description of Work: Scheduled an appointment with Gibson for a site visit to estimate patio work at my new house. That went smoothly. During the visit, two men inspected and said they'd be in touch "in a week or two" via email with an estimate/options - and that they were swamped with work. Sounds good, I get it... they're busy. | |I never heard back. | |The impression I had was that they were understaffed and overwhelmed. Could have been an honest mistake by them, but my time is valuable too, and I'm not going to hound a contractor for pricing on a project that they should WANT to obtain. | |TIP: with so many options in the marketplace, make it easy for your prospects or customers to do business with you.

Description of Work: Initially, they were very responsive, and agreed to set up a meeting in a short notice, since I was in town only for a few days. BUT, they never showed up to the meeting! Tried to call and sent a text message - no reply. They never called back to explain what happened or apologize.

Description of Work: I hired them to plaster and paint a small room. When they came, I asked for an add-on to plaster and paint my back entrance, too. The owner kindly consented to the add-on. When the job was done, and everyone had left, I noticed some details in both rooms that were not finished to my satisfaction. When I contacted the company about it, they were prompt to remedy the situation in every detail. I would recommend their services.

I wished to have a number of general repair/update jobs done by Mr. Gibson, based on the strength of his Angie's List rating as well as recommendations from family. I needed the work done reasonably quickly, but Mr. Gibson's quote did not come until several weeks and several followup calls after he reviewed the work to be done. Then, when I reviewed and agreed to the quote and asked him when he could schedule the work, he repeatedly told me " in a week or two," asked me to call him back for specifics, which I did, about 8-10 times. Toward the end of this long string of calls, now about two months after his first visit, he finally admitted to me that he was backed up on other work, and was not sure when he could get to me. I was forced to have the most urgent work done by someone else, but when I then e-mailed him asking if he was willing to do the rest of the work, he did not respond (or, if he did, I did not receive his response). I understand that Mr. Gibson's work has a great reputation and that as a result he is probably very busy. However, like Mr. Gibson, my time is valuable. I expect occasional followup, and I do *not* expect to be told the work can be scheduled within a few weeks, which is what he kept telling me pretty much every time I was able to catch him on the phone, if in fact it cannot be. I regret that I am not willing to work with Mr. Gibson or his company, in spite of these recommendations and his reputation for quality work, because I need to be able to trust that when I am told something, then, barring extraordinary circumstances beyond that persons' control, it is going to happen.
Description of Work: Mr. Gibson proposed to do a number of small jobs including repair of a porch (carpentry), outside masonry repair, repair of several plaster problems, and fixing/updating a half bath in the basement.

It went very well. He arrived on time and introduced himself and his brother who was assisting him. He gave me his business card, and I proceeded to show him the job that I called him for. He evaluated the job and he determined what tools he would need to remove the cornices and the hardware. They removed the one cornice over the patio door, and were able to show me where the draperies were so heavy on one side of window that the draperies were pulling the hardware from the wall. The contractor carefully removed the hardware to avoid further damage to the wall. They carried the cornice to the storage area in my garage. They removed the other cornice that ran the length of the wall, over 7' long. They did the same fine work in removing it and placing it in my garage. They adjusted the hardware on my front door so it would close more securely. I didn't even ask, they just said "This needs to be tightened so it will close better." and they made the adjustment. Great contractor. I'm estatic that I was able to find a reliable contractor on Angie's List.
Description of Work: The contractor was asked to remove two cornices that hung over the draperies in a room in my home. The cornices covered a patio door and an entire wall on the adjorning side of the room. The cornices were in excess of 7 feet long, so it was no easy task to remove them given the way they were originally installed. The contractor also removed all of the hardware that supported the cornices. After the cornices were removed the contractor carried them to the area in the garage for storage. Even though I didn't ask, the contractor tightened the hardware on my front door so that it would close more securely.

It didn't go at all: there was absolutely no communications from the contractor of any kind. No email, no phone, no communications.
Description of Work: I purchased a certificate for Finish your Honey Do List for LESS! from Gibson General Contracting Inc on June 12. As directed I emailed a list of projects we could do. Two weeks later, I have not received any kind of acknowledgment or communication from Gibson. I am leaving for a 3-week vacation and would like a refund of my $80.00.Bob Chalfant44106.home@gmail.com

I called James Gibson he responded within the day, came to house, and e-mailed me a quote the next day. Once I agreed to the price they were there within the week to do the job. Even though drywall is a dirty job they cleaned up very well and there were no dust issues in my house.
Description of Work: I had two different rooms that Gibson taped and mudded the drywall. There price was fair, the service was excellent, and result was great. I will use them for more projects on my house

James and his crew were on time, professional, and kept busy throughout the day. They cleaned up every day making the site neat and safe. James and his brother are experienced and their creative thinking process brings about solutions to problems that will arise during the average big job.

Gibson was recommended by a friend. He visited, looked at the window and the walls we wanted redone, gave us an estimate and started the next day. He was finished the following day. He was prompt, polite, and knowledgeable. We were very pleased at the quality of his work. He cleaned up after he was finished.
Description of Work: He rebuilt our foyer window, which had been damaged by water and termites. He also repaired guest room and guest bath walls that had been damaged from a leak in the roof. (Another contractor repaired the roof.) The job did not include glass or painting. It also did not include respraying the water damaged popcorn ceilings in the guest room. The price included labor and materials.

My 90+ year old garage has seen some sorry modifications and expansions over the years. As a result, the overhang that was built as part of one of these expansions was actually falling away from the main structure. James was able to remove and rebuild most of the overhang, as well as install new supporting structure to prevent further sagging. He also tore out and replaced the gutters and some rotted siding on the back of the garage. All the work was done on schedule and on-budget.
Description of Work: Rebuilt overhang on garage, replaced gutters and rotted siding on back side of garage.
