Gavin Liscombe Residential Construction

Gavin was a referral. I considered Gavin a Godsend and had originally given him a positive review. My mistake as he would give us quotes for work and was constantly requesting more money for materials. He would either purchase too much or not enough. He was great in the beginning, showing up early and staying through the day to work, then he started to arrive later and later, if at all. He'd leave to get material or tools that he neglected to bring and wouldn't return for days. I liked Gavin I had trusted him; he's a nice man. I was constantly asking him to pick up after himself as he'd leave his Dunkin coffee cups thrown around the property, It was frustrating picking up after him. We had paid him to install new gutters. He never completed the job. When my husband contacted him about finishing the job, he asked for more money. My husband asked him for an invoice first; Gavin ghosted us. Truly disappointed. But your own materials and pay him AFTER he completes job.

Gavin repaired a deck for us. He is an excellent craftsman, highly efficient, fairly priced and personable to work with.

Gavin came by on his day off to look at the job and he was very prompt at coming by the following day to take care of the situation. Very pleased with his work.

This was a delightful experience. Gavin had a great attitude and got right to work. The job was done quickly and skillfully. I would use this man again any time

We hired Gavin to finish our basement. He assured us he could do the job. He came by referral from someone who had used his services before. First 2 weeks were great until he had been paid a n full. Our fault for trusting him. He never finished everything he said he would and we are still not in our basement and finishing the job ourselves. We are redoing the trim work and replacing the doors ourselves. What a waste of money We were quoted a price and paid him over that price and he still did much less than he said he would and installed used products that are broken and dirty and don?t match. The drywall was never sanded appropriately, the electrical work that was contracted out had to be redone, the door is broken and used, the job site was left dirty and trash was left on site for weeks. Very disappointed. Would never recommend.

Gavin was fantastic! Our siding repair was small and Gavin made it easy. Punctual and professional with no change to the cost. He is a contractor who makes things easy and I highly recommend him for any project. Thank you Gavin

Gavin was professional and performed the work just as he said. Did a good clean up and informed me of his personal guarantee for all work performed.

Professional and courteous

Gavin was able to get all the work - siding repair, soffit and roof repair, chimney flashing, and various vents - completed quickly and within the quote he provided. He was thorough in his work, and in his cleanup afterward - he made sure where were no waste materials, scraps, debris, or nails/screws left after he was done. I have already asked him to come back and do more work I needed!

Gavin was completely reliable. We even gave him a key so he could complete work. I would recommend Gavin. Work

Gavin showed up on time and he worked fast. He kept me informed on his progress as the project went along. He did a great job!!! Far exceeded expectations. And the price was right. I would highly recommend him. And most importantly, he is a good guy.

Gavin responded quickly to our request for an estimate. He called ahead of scheduled time and came out and gave us a quote for the job. He was able to start within a day of our decision to go with him. He exceeded our expectations in every aspect. He is skilled at his profession and amazed us at how fast he works. We recommend him highly and will use him again if we have any future projects. This job was a deck and stair repair and a garage trim repair. He even improved the bottom stair with a much better design.

Did a great job.Will recommend him to friends and family

Gave me a reasonable quote and said he could do the job the next day. Did the repair and cleaned up the old shingles. He was professional. Would hire again.

Came to see the job early the morning after I posted it. Did the work right away. Good price, excellent work, very quick, cleaned up well, professional. Highly recommend.

Originally, Gavin offered to do the whole roof on the house and shed for $6,500 - but without signing a contract or agreement and without an appointment he showed up at our house on 8/17/24 at 6:00 AM and we were awakened by a man taking shingles off our roof. He said he needed materials and asked for $5,000. His worker had already taken half the roof shingles off of the roof in the back. We were expecting heavy rain for two days, so we had no choice but to pay him the $5,000 to fix the roof. Then later he said he needed $1,500 more for materials to finish the back and we paid him that. When he finished the back he said that he still needed $4,500 to finish the front roof which he received money every time he came to work on the roof. All for a total of $11,000 when originally he said he would do the house and shed roof for $6,500. (See checks below). The final check was paid on September 3, 2024, for $1,000 annotated Paid in Full and cashed by Gavin. (See checks below with amounts paid on dates) 8/17/24. Ck #1017 $5,000 8/24. 1019 $3,000 8/30. 1021 $1,000 8/31. 1047 $1.000 9/3. 1241 $1,000 Then, again without notification or appointment, we were awakened early in the morning on September 7, 2024, by Gavin taking shingles off of the shed. I came out in my pajamas and told him to stop because we had no more money to spend and we could not pay him anymore. I went out several times and told him that we could pay no more to stop the work. He just shrugged and kept on working after he was told and asked to stop. Later that day he came to the door and asked me for $500 for materials and I told him again that we had no more money to spend. Then, a couple of days ago he texted me and said he would like to come by tomorrow and collect $1,000 for the work done on the shed. We did not ask him to do the shed and told him numerous times that we could pay no more. Quoting a price to do a job and then arbitrarily adding on again and again to where the cost is more than doubled the original price is not a reputable way to do business. Gavin said that he would give me a very low price because I am a veteran and 82 years old. Even though I assume he did a good job I feel like this method of doing business is not right.

He over charged us. He did not do everything he said he would do. He Patched the roof in the front of house with the wrong color shingles and never used half of the materials he ordered and most likely used it for another job! After we discussed the fact that he over charged us, he said he would return some of my money but kept making excuses and never came by to return the money! Beware, do not use this subcontractor.

Never saw him back for other work nor did not see a bill. Just paid with a check.

I was incredibly impressed with the work Gavin Liscombe Construction completed. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and exceeded my expectations. Gavin's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the project. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Gavin prioritizes customer satisfaction. Gavin took the time to understand my vision and needs, providing valuable insights and suggestions that enhanced the outcome. The project was completed on time and within budget, with no hidden surprises or delays. The quality of workmanship is outstanding. Gavin demonstrated exceptional skill and craftsmanship, paying close attention to every detail. The materials used were top-notch, and the finished product is beautiful and built to last. Gavin takes great pride in his work, and it shows.

Gavin was Knowledgeable and pleasant and worked quickly. Highly recommend him!

Gavin did an excellent job replacing rotted wood on my deck, including wood railings. He is very competent, professional and completed the work in a timely manner. J. Dyer
