David Gibson is straight forward, honest and a hard worker.  If he said he would do something he did so in a timely fashion.  He is reliable and capable.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"The road was a wreck, most ditches were clogged and most culverts was clogged. What made matters worse it rained everyday. I went in clenaed all ditches out,cleaned out culverts,smoothed road an crowned road to divert watershed. then hauled in roadbond. the process took 3 weeks to complete, mostly because of the rain. Micheal and the residents of log gap road was very patient and alowed me take my time to insure everything was like it should be. I look forward to working with this member in the future."

David was one of two people I interviewed to handle work on a house I bought on a short sale that I'm rehabbing for my daughter and her family. He handled the entire process professionally and responded quickly and clearly to phone and email messages. He will certainily be the first person I call if and when I need similar help in the future. He provides other construction-related services and I would be more than willing to see how he does with those.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"I enjoyed helping with his project. The drive in front was steep and the underlaying gravel was gone. We smoothed everything out and put down heavy layer of roadbond and compacted. We also mowed his field. i look froward to working with the customer in future"

My 500 ft gravel driveway needed to be regraded and repaired. Called Gibson Construction and he promptly called back. I believe he came out the next morning(friday?) to give me an estimate. He came out the following Monday I believe to start work , we had agreed on $1500 for a driveway good as new and I would say I got almost that. Most importantly he did properly fix my drainage issues as the rain recently has shown. A driveway " good as new" has an ascetic of clean lines and a smooth appearance and that I didn't get. All in all though, I am pleased. The price seemed a bit steep for the hours involved but honestly I have no real idea, it certainly seemed fair especially given the short notice.
The price went to $1700 because I had him haul some dirt for a new lawn. That was definitely pricey as he did it for $50 a load and I now know The Longest Yard will do it for $35. Honestly it was pretty bad dirt too. I don't think he knew that so I blame myself for not checking first.
I must say that I asked him about his pricing and he said most of his jobs were 50/50 materials and labor, which seems an unusual way to price a job, but hey what do I know?
I would absolutely use him again if needed but the whole experience simply convinced me I need a tractor not a contractor.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"The driveway was a mess, it was really soft going up hill and the water did not drain correctly which was causing bad erosion. i did not want to use my heavy equipment so i used my tractor and spent 1 day prepping the drive, cleaning ditches, make sure all waterflow went to ditches. the second day he wanted me to haul topsoil, so i hauled 2 loads of soil. he did not like the soil which i thought was odd because i have hauled 100's of yards of this topsoil to build new yards and the soil worked great! the 3rd day i hauled gravel and we spread the gravel and made sure he was happy with the results which he was. i went ahead and fixed the steps that was loose on his house and cleaned out a area where he wanted to make a yard! As far as the time spent versus cost the amount of work and material involved i gave him a accurate price as well as the labor,hauling and tractor work.Most of the time when i bid a job half the cost of the job is material.I m upfront with my cost with materials and labor so all my customers know what they pay for! i enjoyed working with him and i look forward to working with him in the future."

We needed a retaining wall rebuilt below the pool, where small landscape timbers had rotted away below a fence. David offered to come out and take a look  - it was very quick, either that day or the next. I appreciated that he offered two different options for the repair - a cheaper fix, and a more expensive/higher quality fix. We opted for the higher quality version, but it was nice to have that less costly option. I got a couple of estimates on this work - the other individual I checked with said it would take three days. David finished the job in one, and we were very pleased with the final result.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"The old wall was in very bad shape and really rotten. we tore it out and installed 6x6 timbers. this more sturdy than the old landscape wall. i enjoyed orking with her on her project and i look forward to doing more projects for her in the future"

David arrived on time and went to work immediately.  He installed the boards needed to raise the door so that there was no gap at the top.  He had to rework all three doors because they were so out of line and could not be adjusted by simply turning the adjustment screws.  He work constantly and consistantly until he had each one level.  He  showed me with the level that each door was squared and had me try out each door to be sure I was satisfied.  He also checked all the doors in the house to make sure they were level and adjusted correctly.  David is a very reliable, honest and knowledgeable person.  He works on a problem until he gets it fixed.  I highly recommend David for any work.  His assessment of problems will be accurate, honest and reliable.  His bill for repairs is very reasonable and fair.  He always goes beyond his work order to make sure other repairs are done.  His integrity and honesty make working with him a pleasure.

Do hire this fellow...he is very honest and gives a fair price. I had been quoted similar driveway repairs prices last summer and David Gibson's price was $800 dollars cheaper than that other guy.  I have no doubt that David and crew did a much better job.  Plus, you know you can trust this man.  He knows construction, he knows the area.  He gives exactly what he promises and more. 
We got a bigger, better driveway with lots of gravel.  It looks fabulous and it was a very good price. 
I am very pleased at David's work and will definitely use his company again.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"I really Enjoyed Working With the members. The driveway really needed to be fixed and it was muddy. It needed to be wider in order to fit 2 cars in the drive,we went in and made the drive wider in order to be able to park two cars. I noticed the roof had a issue and i had extra material onhand to fix this so i got on the roof and fix the reas, caulked around the vent boots, and reattached the loose smokestack. I did not mind fixing this for them because i did not want them have a leaking issue. I look forward to working with the members on future projects thank you for letting us do this work for you."

I am pleased to be able to highly recommend Gibson's Grading.  I contacted the company for a free estimate to repair a basement leak.  David Gibson returned my call promptly and came out to my home to check out the leak.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and recommended a french drain.  It so happened that the french drain would run underneath our front porch, which we have wanted to replace since we bought our house.  David said he could also do the porch and quoted us $2,000 for both projects.  I can tell you that it was money well spent.  David spent three days on the two projects and his work is top notch.  I felt comfortable asking him questions about how to install a flagstone sidewalk as a do-it-yourself project, and he gave me a lot of helpful tips.  Our house needs other work done and I plan on calling on David.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"I enjoyed working with these customers. I found the source of the leak,where the foundation stepped down,water had been leaking in that area so we sealed the area and applied foundation coating and installed new drain system. The small landing they had was not working to well so i know they wanted a new porch, so i did a combo price on both projects because i know they really wanted a new porch. i look forward to working with them in the future on other projects"

I can already tell that the drainage system is working.  The whole project went very well  and all of the work was very high quality.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"the water that was coming out of the ground and going on his drive was a lot. This was creating a dangerous icy condition when the temp was at freezing.I found the location and it was a spring that had a lot of water coming out and causing the issue.we regraded the side of the drive and installed a french drain to divert water flow. The whole project worked well and i enjoyed working with the member on his project and i look forward to working with him on future projects."

David arrived promptly on the day scheduled for work.  He had schuled a 3 day completion of project.  He arrived early  and completed each phase everyday .  He competed the project in 3 days(He worked long hours  and didnot ever stop for breaks.  David went beyond the job description.  He cleaned up completely,replanted the shrubbery, bought mulch and spread around the entire area.  He repaired all the gutters around the house (they had pulled apart and we didn't  know it.)  He brought his chainsaw and removed a tree that had fallen on our shrubbery .   

Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"The foundation needed attention pretty quickly. inside the basement wall there was 2 cracks and this was going to be a issue. One thing alarmed me was the fact that there was cracks when the cores was filled and everything was solid. I told the customer that i worked in the development 9-10 years ago when the houses was being built and all the foundations was above code even to todays standard. once we got started the rea was so wet and muddy it was putting huge pressure on the foundation. we sealed the cracks in the basement and built 3 piers and bolted them to foundation for extra support. we seal coated the foundation, installed new drain and compacted. The job went well, the first 2 days was cold,but it did not effect the job. I enjoyed working with her on her project and i will be going back the first part of February and paint the outside of her house and paint her kitchen."

David Gibson returned my call and came out the next day to look at what needed to be done. He was willing to look at and discuss different possibilities. The job was done over two days. He was always punctual and professional and kept me informed about the process. He cleaned up as he went along and took pride in his work, his tools and equipment. Even though the weather was cold, he had to kill two poisonous snakes that tried to strike him as he dug the drain. After David's work, the difference in the experience of being in that part of the basement was like night and day. For the first time it felt dry and the dehumidifiers were mostly quiet. He was a pleasure to work with.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"I enjoyed working with this customer, i was very surprised when i was was digging out for the french drain i ran into 2 cooperhead snakes. they was mad and striking at me but i took care of them because it posed a danger to her. She was getting minor water leak in her basement, i found the location and installed a new drain system and went inside the basement and sealed the cracks. I look forward to working with her in the future."

David came out and assessed what needed to be done in order to fix the immediate problem of the fallen wall; in addition, he suggested regrading as a solution to carry the water away from the house. Building the new foundation was done by 2 members of David's crew, who were both extremely capable and experienced. The grading was done by David and his father --  again, both very capable and experienced in their work.
David has a wonderful attitude and he takes his work very seriously. The work was done in a very timely and professional manner, and the jobsite was actually cleaner at the end of the job than at the beginning!
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"I enjoyed working with Member on her project. When I meet with her to go over the scope of the project the foundation of her house inside the basement was not in good shape. The retaining wall was 4 inch block and was holding back the earth. But there was a major issue the main foundation and footer of the house was setting close to the retaining wall and was on the verge of collapsing. Thus would have caused the main frame of the house to shift and cause major frame damage to the house. We both talked about what needed to be done. Member was really concerned because of the time frame so I coordinated part of my crew to her job to address this. My crew installed 5/8 rebar then laid 8 inch block. Then once done they filled cores with high strength concrete with fiber mesh for increased strength. Once that part was completed me and my dad worked in the front. We found at one corner of the house where water had went under the footer of the house . We fixed that issue then installed a French drain around the front and one side of the house. The there was 2 exposed gutters so we attached pipe to the gutter down spouts and rerouted them away from house. Then the last part we regarded a small section of the front to divert any water shed away from house. This was a expensive job to do, but the foundation of the house was at a critical stage and we had to act quick and I had to use the best and strongest material. Member was understanding to this even thou I was not the lowest bid she got. But even thou I was not the lowest bidder we made sure to deliver the highest quality of work and highest quality of material and to quickly resolve her foundation problem before it reached critical mass. I wanted to make sure Member would never have to worry about her foundation giving her a issue again. I look forward to working with her in the future on her future projects"

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 money.
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"His floor was really bowing pretty bad, me and my crew came up with a plan to fix this issue.They installed beams plus piers to shore up and level the floor.Plus we had extra block left over so i had my crew build small wall in the basement. I enjoyed working with Member and i look forward to working with him in the future"

The job took longer than David estimated, in part because he originally thought the entire rear deck could just be re-planked, but when he started removing the floor planks, it became apparent that there half the rear deck needed total rebuilding. This and the extra foundation work did make our final price about $1000 higher than the original estimate, but it was well worth having quality work and resolution to the basement moisture issue. The only small complaint is that I'd asked for the decent quality 4x4 treated lumber "waste" to be left behind so that I could rebuild a flowerbed box and only four 3ft pieces were left when a lot more could have been salvaged, which i could have really used for the 5x12x3ft project. Though, I suspect it was just a misunderstanding since David's been really great about working with us for two fair-sized projects so far. I look forward to having him do more work in the future!!
Response from Gibson's Grading And Construction
"The reason it took longer is the fact i found major issues that needed to be resolved, plus i spent 2 hours in the morning running down material.then approx 6 hours on the jobsite. Some of the 4x4s wa really bad rotten and i di not think she wanted them. it was probley a misunderstanding. Even thou it took me longer to complete i wanted to make sure everything was correct and up to code. I do my best to make sure i fit all my client's budget, the extra cost to do this project covered the extra materials. i enjoy working with vanessa and ronnie, it is a real pleasure to work with them on projects"
