  Travis did an excellent job sealing off a square opening in fireplace that was originally for power and cable outlets. Replaced stacked stone facade to blend seamlessly with surrounding stone. He and his crew were professional, friendly, on time and efficient. Repair was priced very fairly.

  Romen came out within two days of my original call and provided an email and hard mail copy of his estimate. Work was scheduled within 3 weeks. Crew showed up on time and spent 7 hours completing all three jobs. We have not had any rain since the work was done, so I haven't had the chance to test the success of the waterproofing work in the basement, but the foreman, Stanley, did tell me that it is possible a second coat of waterproofing may be needed, and to just call if there are any problems and they will come back and fix it. I have since recommended Coast to Coast to a friend, who will be using the company to rebuild two chimneys at his houseshow more

  Working with David was such a pleasure! He is extremely knowledgable, and when I came to him asking about foundation repair for our new house, he did a great job determining the scope of work from just a few pictures, and explaining to me the engineering behind it. He and his dad worked quickly and efficiently, and totally revamped our space in two weeks. He was respectful of our space while working around the home while we were at work, and communicated daily with a report of what he had done. He ended up fixing a few extra things that we didn't even know about and totally leveled and redid our driveway as an add on. Overall, David is professional, kind, and great at what he does. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, and have already recommended him to a few of my friends. Would highly suggest hiring David for your next projectshow more

  It was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a contractor. David is clearly an expert at what he does, and in addition he is great at communicating. The project was at a commercial building in Asheville, and I live in Chicago - but this experience was MUCH easier than working with a contractor at home. He always responded to emails or calls promptly, and sent me photos of progress almost daily. It's also important to add that David's budget was accurate, and he stuck to it, even doing more work than planned for the same price. I highly recommend David Gibsonshow more

  Davids assurance that my home was not in danger when my retaining wall collapsed was the best news I had. He was exact in his start time and completion estimate. The cost was what I expected and he gave a good Angie's discount. He repaired my front walk, as an extra, which I most appreciated. I would rehire him in a heartbeat. The cleanup and final appearance was more than I expectedshow more

  We have an old house that was constructed as a vacation home in the 1920's. Over the years, parts of the foundation began to crumble causing the house to become somewhat unstable, with visible changes in the floor, walls and doorways. We contracted with Gibson Grading and Construction to shore up the foundation and repair a cracked floor joist. Mr. Gibson is very competent and thorough in his work. He installed a number of new concrete block piers under the house to solidify the foundation, and repaired the cracked floor joist. He also rebuilt the back outside corner brick pier and one other outside brick pier that were crumbling due to inferior mortar. He worked hard to ensure that our house was stable and returned to as close to level as possible. He also kept us informed of the progress of the work on a daily basis. In addition to the foundation, he rebuilt and expanded the back porch/deck to more than twice the original size, bringing it up to code and giving it a great new look. We did not know at the time that we asked him to include this project in his work that the old back porch, which is up about 9 feet in the air, was very unstable and close to collapse. It is now solid and much more functional, and looks great. A third project that we asked Mr. Gibson to undertake was to regrade the front yard to keep water from flowing off the paved road out front into the yard and under the house. In addition to bringing in loads of dirt as part of this project, Mr. Gibson added a drain system to channel any problematic water away from house and down into a natural drainage area east of the house. He also built up the parking area in front of the house to channel water away from the front lawn, and installed a retaining wall to maintain the integrity of the parking area. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of all three of the projects included in this contract. Mr. Gibson is a perfectionist about his work, and does all he can to make sure that every he does is done right and has the maximum amount of improvement. I highly recommend him to others who may have similar projectsshow more

  All the projects were performed on time and exceeded my expectations. David sent me periodic photos of the progress he was making which was very helpful as i was not on site when the work was performed. He was very respectful and easy to work with.

  It went very well and I'm extremely pleased with the results. I got about 5 bids for the job and David's was the lowest. I'm sometimes nervous about taking the lowest bid but after David and I talked over the scope of the project, and what I needed to have done, I felt like he was the right guy to hire. David's crew was headed by Derek, who was very considerate and took the time to explain what the crew was doing and make sure it met my expectations for the job. Scott and Dave were the other two who worked on the house and they were all very nice guys. It took the guys a little over a week to complete the job and the results are excellent. My floors are level and feel very solid. I'm really glad I hired David and I feel like I got a great deal for the moneyshow more

  Our home inspection report on the home we were purchasing revealed that there was a significant problem with dampness/mold in the basement. This was very bad news because we have a family member with asthma who is sensitive to mold, and we had made a good offer on this home based upon the large unfinished basement we planned to add rooms in to expand our living space for our family. We received estimates/solutions from several companies and two companies claimed we had a "very serious problem with water filling up in the block" requiring that expensive drainage systems be installed (i.e. floor dug up--questionable damage to foundation? One company with open drains...water getting clogged and sitting behind "covers" and stagnating?!) around the perimeter of the basement floor with additional pumps, etc. By the time we would pay for one of these systems, we would not have had enough money to make the other required repairs needed to secure our loan. Another important point : neither company mentioned or addressed the stopped up and crushed gutter drain lines that were buried in the ground directing water from the roof against the foundation/basement walls of the house. Some companies claimed water was seeping through the basement floor while another claimed it was through cracks- neither of which turned out to be true. (Our house was on the top of a hill out in the open sunshine, and yet these companies were still saying our walls were full of water. Be aware that people will try and sell you anything---get lots of opinions and do your own research first!) David Gibson has a degree in Civil Engineering, has common sense, and knows what he is doing. Right away he suspected a problem with our gutters. He was the only one to walk around the house and locate points of soggy, saturated soil that indicated poor drainage. He determined there was NOT water in our basement block because he could tell that the white efflorescence residue had occurred over time because cement block can slowly absorb dampness from the dirt.. If there had been water trapped in the block, he said we would have seen more severe evidence of the later stages/darker and varying color of the mold, dripping walls, etc.and then a more extensive drainage system would have made more sense. David has had years of experience fixing wet basements, even completely lifting houses up to repair foundations. His much more reasonable solution was to install new gutter drain pipes from the roof and re-route the water away from the house and to install a foundation drain on the outside of the house. He then cleaned and treated the basement walls against mold. He applied several coats of Thoroseal (actually absorbs into the porous block and fills in any gaps/holes creating a waterproof barrier) and Dry Lock to waterproof the block against moisture. He suggested we get a 70 pint de-humidifier to help reduce the condensation resulting from the well pumps located in one corner of our basement. David also completed all of the minor repairs on the house, put installation in the basement ceiling, and did masonry work on the chimney that was required by our lender to approve the loan, all for a price we could afford. We felt that David was correct about the solution for our basement, and by getting to the source of our problem, he saved us from expensive systems that probably would not have kept the dampness and mold out of our basement because those companies would have left the crushed and clogged drains pouring water into the soil around our basement walls and would not have solved the slow absorption of moisture into the block. It has been about a month since his work was completed and even with several hard rains, our basement has been bone dry! We highly recommend David Gibson of Gibson Construction and Grading, and are pleased with the quality of his work and his work ethics. His more economical and correct solution "saved the day" for us much like finding a doctor who finally can diagnose and explain the source of the problems then apply the correct solutionsshow more

  When we bought our house, our neighbor (who's lived on the same street for 70 years) said he couldn't recall a time our fireplace had ever been used for a wood fire, and indeed the entire chimney was falling apart above the roofline. So we knew it would be a big expense to get it up-and-running. We didn't want to go with the wrong company. Every friend we asked came back with the same recommendation: Reece's is simply the best in town. We got a quote, saved up, and then called them to schedule the work this May. They hit on all cylinders: flawless work, excellent customer service, punctual, didn't leave any mess, and came in beautifully under-budget. It was also immediately clear to me that Travis and his team were genuinely good people. Of course, anyone can put on an appearance in a conversation with a customer, but how they interacted with each other throughout the two days they worked on our chimney made it abundantly clear that they truly respected one another and knew how to work together like a well-oiled machine. That's when good work gets done; that's when quality is consistent. I don't often write reviews, but I know how much it meant to me and my wife to have the right people on a job like this, and I hope other folks will make the same solid choiceshow more
