I called james about the job, he asked me to email his assistant as he was at a job site when I called. His assistant was quick to respond to my email and got me set up with an appointment. She emailed again a couple of days before to check that the time was still good for me. James came to look at the problem, we discussed solutions and a price. He was back within the week to complete the job which he did efficiently. I would use his services again, he was prompt, efficient and very knowledgable of the best products and solutions for the situation.

This whole process of contacting contractors and getting them to come out to just get an estimate for this job was not easy. But when I contacted Gibson the company came out right away to give an estimate. They also took the time to answer ALL of my questions and addressed any concerns I had. After contacting a few more companies to get estimates, I finally decided on Gibson. I was put on the schedule for the job to start Nov. 4. But a couple days before I got a phone call saying that they had completed the previous job early and would be out on Nov 3 instead. The three gentlemen arrived on time and got right to work. The job was completed in two days even though it was estimated the job would take three to four days. The gentlemen (Jim, Red and Kevin) were very friendly, pleasant and cleaned up when they were done each day. I have already let Jim know about a couple of future projects. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I needed a porch roof repaired. There was not just a problem with the shingles on top but also with the ceiling that was underneath those shingles.

I was very pleased with the work that was completed. I originally had an appointment to receive an estimate for work, but because the job was so small it was able to be completed that day with no extra scheduling. It was quick, convenient, and well done. I'm very happy with the service I received, and I plan to call Gibson again when I need the cabinets re-hung.

First the old tile floor had to be removed and then a new tile floor installed. They we're prompt, polite, did a great job and cleaned everything up! What a relief it is to deal with a company that knows what it is doing! The price was reasonable and the result was excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend this company! Mike Sievers

These guys priced out well but they left probably hundreds of nails and bits of shingles after the garage reroof. I had to clean up my neighbors yard area were the garage area borders as well as take a bag around picking up all the nails and bits of shingles not cleaned up. So that was disappointing. We have small kids so having such a sloppy clean up job was annoying. Otherwise these guys were fine and fairly accommodating to work with.
Description of Work: Reroofed part of a garage did some work on main roof. I actually can't remember the exact price. I no longer live at this residence and don't have the invoice anymore.

Contacted Mr. Gibson for an estimate on a large remodeling project. After reading reviews on Angies List, I was looking forward to potentially working with Mr. Gibson. He came over to a house that I am purchasing and utilizing a rehab loan to have the work done. Mr. Gibson spoke about knowing the rehab loan process and navigating his way through it. He was one of several contractors to provide an estimate. After the initial delay in getting the estimate I contacted Mr. Gibson and was told I would have it by the end of the weekend. The weekend came and passed as well as an additional week. I again contacted Mr. Gibson by telephone. As I was asking Mr. Gibson about the estimate on the phone he began laughing at me and hung up. I was unsure if it was a bad connection so I tried calling back and received no answer. I then contacted his office. His secretary told me she would contact Mr. Gibson and have him call me. I never received a call. I was told I would be provided and estimate and wasn't. I thought whole heartedly I would use Mr. Gibson on this project as he was familiar with these types of projects. To add insult to injury, Mr. Gibson laughed at me on the phone when I inquired about the estimate. In my opinion, Mr. Gibson is extremely unprofessional and I would not recommend his services to anyone.

James first gutted our entire kitchen. We have a 100 yr old house, so it was a big job just for the first stage. We have a new ceiling, new floor, and a new wall where the new cupboards were installed. Everything that was contracted and more was completed in a perfect and timely manner. The workers were pleasant, and did beautiful work. I love my new kitchen and would not hesitate to employee James and his crew again!

Cost estimate was competitive with other quotes. So close, in fact, that I used Angie's List review to select Gibson Construction. Work was scheduled shortly after and, while delayed one day due to illness, was completed in two days. The floor looks great. We are very pleased with the work.

This has been the smoothest remodeling project in my 7 years as a homeowner. Everything was easy and on time - scheduled the estimate via email, and James showed up as schedule and on time. I received the completed estimate (with lots of detail around the work and costs involved) quickly, and had the work scheduled within 2 weeks or so. When it was time to get the work done, everyone showed up as promised. James and two of his employees completed the project - they were polite, cleaned up after themselves, and worked hard to get the job done as well and as efficiently as possible. I have several other projects that will need to be completed next year, and Gibson General Contracting is the first place I'll be calling.
Description of Work: James and his team installed and painted new baseboards throughout the first floor of my home.

I am now requesting a refund from Angie's List due to all these issues. I was very surprised at the behavior of this provider as he is listed as an A rating on Angie's List.
Description of Work: It took a month to get an appointment scheduled since I wanted to be at home when the provider came to do the work. The provider apparently didn't write down what I requested. He instead looked at my bay window which is not leaking. He stated that he did look around the property and stated I need a new roof on the back side of my home. He stated he would get in contact with me with an estimate. He has not gotten back to me since the initial visit.

Although we are sorry that the customer is unhappy, Gibson General Contracting, Inc. honored the Roof Maintenance Pkg. that she purchased; her gutters were cleaned, roof was inspected, and loose or missing shingles were secured or replaced. Our Roof Maintenance Pkgs. Include cleaning out gutters, visibly inspecting the roof for potential problems, securing loose and/or replacing missing shingles, etc. If a problem is found while we are up there, the homeowner is notified and he can move forward with the information however he prefers. Gibson General Contracting’s Roof Maintenance Pkgs. Are meant to help extend the life of an EXISTING roof. The pkg. does NOT include a price to receive an estimate (estimates are always free) OR the cost to install a NEW roof. If you need a NEW roof, however, we WILL tell you! The customer complained of 2 small roof leaks above an addition that was previously built onto her home. When I inspected that specific area I found evidence of prior poor workmanship. I told her that she needed a new roof as well as new balcony posts and that I would send her an estimate. Unfortunately, we were extremely busy this summer and I feel thru on sending the estimate. It is my opinion that we are talking about two (2) separate issues here: 1. Completing the work included within the scope of a Roof Maintenance Pkg. 2. Sending the customer an estimate to replace the existing roof and new balcony posts Regarding-Issue #1: We completed the work on the member’s home per the Roof Maintenance Pkg. that was paid for. Issue #2: I agree with the member; I did not send her an estimate for a new roof and posts for the reason described above. My alternate suggestion for resolution is to follow thru on my part by sending her the estimate I had promised. However, I do not agree that she should be refunded for work that has already been done per the Roof Maintenance Package she purchased.

Description of Work: I used him one time to repair some steps and clean the gutter. He told me that the gutter needed a piece of wood and I asked him for an estimate. I have been calling him for weeks even e-mailing him but nothing. I am fed up with this if he was going to be that busy that he could not answer she should have at least let me know. I also wanted more work done but not with this contractor.

We are sorry that we could not be there sooner....although it is a positive sign that construction is booming in our area, we realize the inconvenience a delay in our ability to complete certain projects immediately can cause. For that reason we have pulled the gutter cleaning deal from our Angie's List offerings.

The communication from Nora was very prompt and well-written. The issue with the service was strictly scheduling. The deal did not mention a time frame, but it did say to be ready to use the coupon starting April 1st. I was informed my service would likely not be performed until late July or early August. With scheduling being that late. there is no point to have the service performed.

Thank you, (member name removed). We are sorry for the inconvenience. We decided to pull the gutter cleaning offers because we realized we could not meet the needs of our customers because of the construction boom we are currently experiencing in our area. After we requested the deal be removed from our listings it took awhile for Angie's List to follow through with our request.
