Gibson's Grading And Construction

David recently did some interior work for me. One of those was installing a Ditra heated floor system by Schluter and then tiling it. David said he had done this numerous times so I trusted his expertise. After 18 days of the premixed adhesive not drying and being told by David that there must be something wrong with the chemical makeup of the adhesive (all 8 buckets) He said he had written the adhesive company emails about the product’s inability to dry but I never saw any even tho I repeatedly asked. I went on the Schluter website and they PROHIBIT the use of premixed adhesive on this flooring system, I asked David to call the Schluter company and he refused. All the tile had to be removed, along with a huge amount of wet adhesive. David would accept no responsibility (neither personal nor financial) for the project’s failure. I repeatedly requested for him to meet me half way with the big financial expense I was out, he said no and continued on with denying responsibility. Updated 10/29/24 Initially I hired David to secure my foundation, I thought he did a great job….please read my earlier reviews. The response David Gibson wrote to my review is a LIE…I NEVER ripped up the tile, NEVER said I wanted a different flooring, my neighbor did NOT write the review he said she did. Do YOU know ANYONE who decides after spending THOUSANDS of dollars on materials/labor that decides to rip it all up ? NO !!! David GIBSON is LIAR ! And takes NO responsibility for his mistakes.

Contacted David regarding a heavy impact to a commercial building. He was prompt to respond and came out providing an estimate as promised. He was extremely professional, and very knowledgeable of how the impact effected different areas of the building and most importantly load bearing posts and the foundation. While working he was very conscientious of employees and clients being sure to let us know when he would be using loud equipment necessary for repairs. Areas outside the building he put caution tape to ensure everyone’s safety. Competed job in a very timely manner and was polite and a pleasure to work with. Would absolutely hire again.

David Gibson is truly a gem. I hasten to speak his praises too much as then he’ll be really difficult to get to do work….but he’s too great not to share. After dealing with a bunch of slimy contractors David is like a breath of fresh air. The main focus of the work was supporting the floors and adding a proper sump pump to drain away from the foundation. He’s knowledgeable, hardworking and honest, went above and beyond, and exceeded what my o’ so low expectations of contractors has become. His Dad often accompanies him and assists David in some projects….they are both a pleasure to work with. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat…and indeed I am.

This was the second time that we were fortunate to have David and his father work on our very old, mountain log cabin. He found and repaired many issues to the foundation, joists, outside wall, and leveling everything up. Crawl space is limited, but they were able to reach the areas. Again, his work is perfection.

I would highly recommend David. After finding him on Angi, I had him inspect a slope and retaining wall on a house we are looking to purchase in Franklin. The home inspector had noted some settling of the porch, and I worried about the stability of the slope underneath the porch. The current owners had a local person build a retaining wall a few years prior, and they were convinced that any erosion issues had been resolved. However, David immediately pointed out to me that the current retaining wall wasn't built properly and was failing to do its job. Already, there was so much erosion that he could literally slide his hand under the base of the retaining wall, and he warned that we were sitting on a time bomb. In fact, David said it would literally be only a matter of months before we had a much bigger problem on our hands. I contacted the owners, and -- about a month later-- they agreed to have David fix the problem. Even from the time when David first came out, more erosion had occurred in the ensuing several weeks -- just as he had warned. He did a great job of building a much more substantial wall and also graded the top of the driveway to fix a drainage issue. I can't imagine the mess we'd have had to deal with if the problem had not been addressed. Before contacting David, I'd spent a good bit of time researching contractors in the area. The mountains are wonderful, but they are also home to a number of contractors who do very questionable work (as evidenced by the contractor who built the first retaining wall). When I saw that David had over 250 positive reviews on Angi, I knew I'd found our contractor! He did not disappoint. If you're looking for someone you can trust to do slope or foundation work, look no further. David is your man.

David did a wonderful job repairing our wood floors, subfloor, joists, foundation, and outside drainage. It took me two years to locate the right contractor with the level of knowledge, experience, dedication, creativity, confidence, and willingness to work on our 200 year old log cabin with a 60 year old foundation. The floor system was failing from the ground up. I found David on this website. The glowing reviews confirmed that I had found the right person to match with the needed repairs. It was a lot of hard, physical labor involved. David cared about our historic cabin and removed the old floor boards carefully so that they could be re installed. The floors are level and strong now. He completed the project in under three weeks. There are so many other issues that he discovered and repaired. I will hire him again for phase two and three! We are so thankful and grateful to David and his father! And thanks for this helpful site to introduce contractors to frustrated homeowners and show legitimate reviews.

David is professional, dependable and went above and beyond to make our property better. He was open to our questions and provided solutions without any pressure. He is trustworthy and kind. Moreover, when he fixes something -it’s fixed. We’d hire him again in a second.

David did an excellent job. He has maintained our long gravel driveway and also mowed the driveway and pastor and removed trees on the property. He is very professional and always finishes the job on schedule and budget. We highly recommend David and will continue to use his services to maintain our driveway and property.

David was professional and wonderful to work with. He exceeded our expectations with the quality of work and finished both of our needed projects quickly. I will definitely call him again for future needs!

David did an excellent job and was able despite supply shortages this year to obtain all the materials needed to maintain our gravel driveway and upgrade a portion which had not been maintained in a while. Excellent job! This is the 6th year he has worked on the driveway and he has always been professional, finished on or before scheduled, on budget, and with excellent results. We highly recommend David and will continue to use his services.

This is the third project David has done for us and he once again was meticulous, professional and swift to respond to all correspondence. I highly recommend him for any repair or maintenance job related to grading, retaining walls, land sculpting, etc. Reasonable rates combined with expertise and honesty. We will definitely use him again.

David Gibson provided us with an independent assessment of structural problems in a crawl space due to extensive previous moisture damage. He was extremely knowledgeable about the problems observed during the home inspection and was able to assess the quality of prior attempts to correct these problems. His willingness to share a candid assessment saved us a tremendous amount of money and heartache. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing expertise in foundation/structural problems such as wood rot, fungus, and mold.

David Gibson is not only an outstanding worker who pays precise attention to all aspects of the tasks to which he's committed himself, but he's also an individual of great integrity, honesty and compassion. His knowledge of the industry is broad so he is able to professionally present options concerning various products and procedures for the homeowner's consideration thus providing choices that best suit their needs and finances. He went above and beyond to insure the satisfaction of the homeowner and valued our input. His quote was reasonable and remained constant, no last minute changes. And, while he provided outstanding service professionally, he was also an individual with personal excellence. He was always polite, positive, and has every reason to be proud of his quality workmanship. I consider myself very fortunate to have had David Gibson complete an extensive driveway project. A blessing.

Perfection! David is extremely knowledgeable, professional and timely. He has expertise above and beyond the norm, and will gently point out where you might want to improve on your own ideas to make a project flow more smoothly or look better. He uses high quality materials and his estimates are reasonable. Highly, highly recommend him. We are delighted with his work and will continue to use him in the future.

We needed a creative solution to address a very steep bank and drainage issue in the backyard of a house we just bought for our parents. Dave was super engaged and very thoughtful about the design options that would address the water drainage concerns while being very attentive to our desire to have a very natural look, including us in all aspects of the project design and implementation. He ended up building a four tiered, terraced retaining wall, installed a gravel drainage system, stone steps and railing, and some additional landscape cleanup and grading. The outcome exceeded our expectations, in large part due to Dave’s attention to detail and listening to the customer. He went out of his way to consider the needs of my aging parents with respect to the hard scape work (steps with railing) and ensured the choice of all materials met our preferences. Highly recommend him for any challenging grading, water drainage, hard scape/ retaining wall issues you might have.

This is the second work I had David Gibson do. I was just as pleased as with the first project. I would hire him to do anything for me. He does the job right. I highly recommend Gibson’s for anything you might need. Thank you!

We highly recommend David. He is very professional and does the work on time and within the budget. He always goes above and beyond, and gives excellent advice on how to maintain the driveway. We have used his services for 3 years now and are very satisfied with his work.

What a wonderful surprise. David came to see what I wanted done, needed a unique retaining wall built, terrace created and it was created even better than I thought it could ever be....wonderful ideas, always communicating because I was seldom there...completed exactly on time...no additional time needed nor was there more costs past his initial estimate for the job. David is very knowledgeable with regard to water run off and/or problems, permanent drains, graded the road....I could not be happier. If you want a "no problems project" call David, you will not be disappointed.

They did an excellent job. They were dependable. They were here to do the job when they said they would. Very pleased with the outcome!

I am so pleased with the work that Gibson's Grading and Construction did for me. David was upfront and honest, making suggestions that were very helpful and much appreciated. Communication was timely and consistent. It was impressive how fast and efficiently they completed the work. My driveways look great and the retaining wall looks exactly how I pictured it. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

David is wonderful, honest, and knowledgeable. He came out and looked at my foundation when there was concern years before. Patched it and suggested we keep an eye on it as my modular home had been placed on the foundation recently. When I realized my foundation was defiantly getting worse a few years later we contacted him. We did have to wait for a visit but it was well worth it as, once he was here, he went right to work doing a thorough check and providing lots of information. He returned quickly to put braces in many places and patch cracks, attached our porch, ran drainage pipe away from the house and did he best to correct shotty work done when the house was placed. He likely saved our home! He also kept us informed while he worked, sending pictures with explanations as he found issues and even warning us if he needed to drill which could be noisy (it didn't bother us). We hope to have Gibson's Grading and Construction help with a driveway project in the future. I can not recommend him enough! If you need someone to call when something important needs to be done... right. Call Gibson's.

Excellent! I highly recommend David. He is a true professional!

David is hard working and dependable. He will do an excellent job and follow through on what he promises. Great work for a fair price. Good communicator and good to work with. Highly recommend.

It went very well. The work was completed on schedule at the agreed upon cost. The parking area is now expanded and water drains are installed. It looks awesome and I expect that it will last many years.

David Gibson does amazing work. We have a few natural springs surrounding our house and garage as well as having an older failing drain system. David came and figured out what needed to be done and did something’s he hadn’t originally planned for as well to make sure we have no issues in the future. The week after he finished it rained almost a full day and we didn’t have any water issues. We could not be happier!
