Thought I left a review ages ago! Gibson's built a new large closet & custom small pantry in our front room. They also installed an oversized entry door & side lights. They did some additional drywall work & installed an outdoor light fixture by door. Working with Gibson's has been THE BEST contractor experience we have ever had! From beginning to end, amazing professionalism & communication from everyone. Quotes were spot on, the crew ALWAYS arrived on time, worked hard, answered tons of questions, and cleaned everything up in work area at the end of every day! During the job they were considerate & did everything they could to reduce the inconvenience & mess of construction. Their skill level and craftsmanship was fantastic! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gibson's for honesty, integrity & skill & creativity too! read more

A++++ A wonderful company in every way! Technical excellence, really nice people, responsive and friendly. They really do treat your home as if it were their own - they take great care to mitigate the messiness of the remodeling and maintain a neat and safe job site. I was surprised to see a review of less than 5 stars here on Yelp as every experience we have had with Gibson Home Services has exceeded our expectations. Keep up the great work, Team Gibson, we have more projects to send your way! Dennis and Jean Taylor Catlett, VA read more

I have known and used Gibson Home Services for over 15 years. In my personal residence, they have done the following work: two new garage doors, two new garage door openers, an upper Timber Tech deck and a lower Timber Tech deck, a master bath remodeling/renovation (currently under way); a hall bath remodeling (complete renovation) ; numerous windows replaced, basement build out, closet organizer, electrical work, ceiling fan installation, home office total remodel, painting, wood rot repair.. the list goes on. In short, I have "rebuilt" my home using Gibson Home Services every step of the way. They are courteous, responsive, respectful, clean up each day after they are done for the day. Their motto: "Treating every home as our own" is true. If they don't think something looks right that I brought into the home for them to do - they will ask me. Just today, one of their lead workers - Matt - brought to my attention that the "brush nickel" faucet purchased at Lowe's (a Moen product) was not the same "brush nickel" finish as the shower handle (a Moen product) that I bought at Ferguson. Turns out the Ferguson's Moen line is more "commercial" than Lowe's which is more "residential." It was Matt who brought it to my attention and then went to Ferguson's to figure out how to make everything that was brush nickel by Moen to match! I can't think of any other contractor who would bring something as small as this minor detail to the homeowner's attention. Forever grateful As a realtor in Northern Virginia I have referred Gibson Home Services to over 200 clients. Those clients have been so happy that they have referred Gibson Home Services to their friends, neighbors, and family members. No job is too small, no job too big. They have gone out of their way to "fit my clients in" when we were a few days from closing. I have watched Josh and Valerie take this company from infancy to adulthood in the last 15 years. I have seen them work tirelessly to serve people and do good work. They will always have my vote of confidence, they will always have my referrals, and they will always get my business. Feel free to call me if anyone would like to discuss this further. Mary Beth Eisenhard, Long & Foster TOP 100 Realtor, 571-723-7653. read more

Gibson Home Services is THE ONLY company I will work with in caring for my home. In the last 11 years, Josh and company have completely re-done my home: I have had three bathroom remodels, two bathrooms renovated with lovely custom tile work. My backyard was completely made over in brick and raised flower beds and after 10 years, it continues to get compliments when guests come over. I had my front door replaced, all the rooms painted and floors installed and the attic insulation done. That is just a few of the jobs they have done for me. Every single worker that has done work on my home has been terrific. The office calls/emails to let you know when the guys will be starting the job and when that day they will be there. And they arrive ON TIME. The guys are extremely respectful and courteous and always, always clean up when they complete the work at the end of the day. I have a disabled son, the guys are kind and ALWAYS do their best to make sure the environment is safe for him and to minimize the disruption to his day. It is personal touches such as this that mean so much. Josh goes above and beyond to make sure the homeowner gets the results they are looking for and does it all with quality craftmanship. read more

FANTASTIC! So about two years ago I had a really bad experience with a local handyman company (NOT Gibson Home Services). In a nutshell, this other company refused to give me an estimate for the work then totally overcharged me for the job and threatened legal action on me. Needless to say, I've been hesitant to get additional work done at the house ever since. I noticed about a month ago that I had some water damage and wood rot around an exterior door, and that the small side porch railing by the same door also needed repair. I did a little Internet browsing and discovered Gibson Home Services. I liked that it was a small family owned business run by husband and wife team Josh and Valerie Gibson so I contact them requesting a quote for services. Valerie was very polite and efficient at scheduling the appointment, and Josh came out personally to meet with me, talk through what I needed done, and offer a price estimate. As part of the estimate he gave me options on the types of materials which could be used for the repairs, which I really liked. He gave me a verbal price quote the day of our appointment, and then followed it up with a written price quote via email once he'd confirmed the prices on some of the supplies. Once we'd agreed on the quote they got me on their schedule for service. On the day of service, Josh showed up with the team (Matt and Matt) to introduce us all to each other and to review with the three of us what was going to be done. Then Josh left and the guys got to work. Matt and Matt were polite and professional and worked quickly. The job was done according to schedule and at the price I was quoted. They did a terrific job at replacing the side door, removing and replacing the damaged/rotten trim work, replacing the wobbly and rotten side porch railing with a new vinyl railing, power washing the siding and decks, and then staining the repaired porch steps. Gibson Home Services is a great company - Josh and Valerie have done a great job at surrounding themselves with team members who take pride in their work and love what they do - and it shows in the care and quality of the products. I will definitely be using them for all of my future home repairs. Check out their website to see examples of some of their projects, they can do pretty much everything from small repair jobs like mine to basement finishing, etc. read more

I contacted Gibson Home Services at the end of September, 2017, for an estimate to remodel my basement rooms. Josh came out and we went over the project and he said he would provide me estimates for just the framing and then for a turn-key remodel. Two weeks later I received a very general estimate for the framing. To date, December, 2017, I have not received, nor do I expect at this point, an estimate for the turn-key remodel which was very disappointing since I was prepared to get the work started. They never did perform work for me because I never got an estimate so I can't speak as to the quality of their work but their business side needs a bit of work. If you have no intention of doing the work, then I would prefer to be told that rather than waiting for an estimate that was never going to arrive. read more

****UPDATE ON 5/20/2019 at 4:07pm AFTER RESPONSE FROM VALERIE from Gibson Home Services ****** -------- THANK YOU VALERIE for the detailed information that you posted as a reply. A simple answer of my phone call or return of my many phone calls would have sufficed and there would have been communication between you and your prospective client. My insurance company advised them via email that I would be reaching out to them to schedule an adjuster appointment. I reached out them by phone on both numbers and NEVER received a return call which left me in a dazed state with my insurance company because I had to tell them that Gibson Home Services is not returning ANY of my phone calls and this left me stranded for having a contractor. I have checked my call history and there were a total of 7 ignored calls (calls that were not answered or where I did NOT receive a call back. I will attempt to contact this company AGAIN and LEAVE A MESSAGE or both Mr. Gibson's Cell Phone and their office Number and post my response. I am hoping to either have the phone answered or receive a courtesy call back. At this point in time, the internet has received MORE communication from this company than I have. ======= Original Review: 5/20/2019 at 5:30am: I do not have much to say about this company. These people came out to our home to give us an estimate. We have been waiting for Mr. Josh Gibson's estimate for over a month and have called them at least 10 times with no response although their voicemail states they will call you back promptly. We have called the owner's cell phone AND the office number and have been IGNORED. We are NOW very behind in our schedule. We may change our review based on further communication, however, at this time, our rating is very LOW for HORRIBLE lack of communication via ignoring future clients' call and NON-follow-thru on behalf of this company. At this point in time, we do NOT recommend anyone to contact them because what if they decide to never call you back AFTER they receive your deposit or START the work... THAT WOULD BE VERY BAD!!! read more

I highly recommend Gibson Home Services for all your home improvement jobs. read more

Re: Front-porch re-screening. The original screening of my front porch (in April 2007) was strictly a less than one-star effort, even abysmally failing, literally from day one, in its primary purpose to keep insects off the porch, including bees and hornets. Beginning in June 2009, when a couple of panels became partially undone, as they'd been poorly affixed and were very billowy from the start, I began, off and on, to pursue a re-screening. Those contractors I contacted, though, either didn't return my call, didn't follow up, or refused to give a specific estimate of the charges. Recently, however, Gibson Home Services was recommended to me, and, mirabile dictu, in the home improvement/handyman services milieu, I quickly went from the ridiculous to the five-star sublime. Gibson's promptly contacted me in response to my request, and scheduled an appointment where Josh Gibson - personable, polite, conscientious and very knowledgeable - timely arrived, surveyed the work to be done, made various suggestions re its handling, gave me a verbal estimate, and followed it up with a documented one. A tentative start-up date was given, and, with the job site kept nice and neat and tidy throughout, the work was initiated and fully finished only one day beyond the scheduled completion date, owing to inclement weather (rain) and the logistical difficulty in readily acquiring the exact cedar wood needed for a critical part of the job. But this mere one-day delay, due to force majeure, was, nevertheless, well worth it. The re-screening is a truly solid, well-designed, gorgeous piece of work, both aesthetically as well as functionally. Gibson's has top-flight craftsmen, and it shows. The screened panels topside are taut and firmly fixed - as tight as drums. The wood paneling and trim work, either existing, or new as needed, were attached/re-attached perfectly and the related cedar stain Josh selected, which he insisted I personally approve, blends with the porch and house precisely. Moreover, in what I considered a particularly inspired move, Josh had critically advised, as opposed to re-screening the underside of the porch (it's raised up on wooden columns), that it be paneled off instead with cedar wood and trim, which was likewise chosen with great care and caulked and stained to match the porch itself. With the result that no bugs - none at all - have since been entering. (It was the fiberglass screening on the underside which the bugs were breaching with impunity; after that, the spacings between the decking were wide enough in multiple places to easily permit entry.) Now, as for the cost/estimate of this outstanding endeavor, I observe that another favorable reviewer herein has remarked that he never picks the low bidder for a job. My rejoinder is - even if the low bidder is Gibson? Concededly, although I didn't try to bid out this project, Josh Gibson's price for this fabulous and flawless re-screening (July 2012) was virtually identical to what I was originally charged back in April 2007 for the initial screening which essentially amounted to a less-than-worthless exercise. So, as to cost, and especially when you factor in the supreme value for the money, Gibson's in my opinion stands at the head of the class. read more

I was referred to Josh and Valerie Gibson by a previous customer. They spoke very highly of the Gibson's and guaranteed that I wouldn't be disappointed. I was getting quotes to have a bathroom completely gutted and remodeled so I decided to give Gibson's a call. Valerie very eagerly scheduled an appointment to come out and give me an estimate. Josh Gibson came to my home and gave me a ballpark figure, low and high depending on what materials and design I chose to have them do for me. Josh was very professional and took his time to answer all my questions and explain exactly what was involved in completing my remodel. He followed up his verbal quote with a written quote which was emailed to me a few days later. The written quote was exactly as we discussed on the day of the walk through. I was impressed with Josh and Valerie from the beginning and I knew immediately that I wanted them to complete my project. I signed the estimate and scheduled the project to begin within a couple of weeks. The night before I was expecting Gibson's crew to show up to start the remodel, I received a call from Valerie letting me know to expect the crew at 8:00 a.m. Sure enough at 8:00 a.m. sharp, the crew was knocking at my door. The crew leader, Matt, introduced himself and gave me a card with his cell phone number on it and told me to call him if I had any questions or concerns throughout the process. Matt and his helper were very professional. They took a look at the bathroom to be demolished, went to their truck to get needed tools and immediately went to work tearing out everything old. First they had to fix a broken water pipe (unexpected) and install all new drywall (including the ceiling which was also unexpected). None of the unexpected was due to anything they did but were pre-existing issues. The fun part came when they installed the new tub, tile surround and floor. These guys are truly artisans........the floor and tile tub surround were absolutely beautiful! Matt is very much a perfectionist and his work shows how much pride he takes in doing a job right the first time. The rest of the remodel moved along pretty quickly once the painting was done. I couldn't be any happier. My bathroom went from an 80's catastrophe to a 21st Century work of art in about 2 weeks time. I highly recommend these guys for whatever your home improvement needs may be. I plan on using them again this spring to remodel my basement and I can't wait to see the transformation. On a side note, I recently had a leak in my roof and I called Valerie. She sent Josh out the same day to check on the roof for me. He found the problem and had a crew out first thing the next day to fix it for me. I will eventually need a new roof but Josh felt I had a few more good years before I needed to worry and he was easily able to repair the area for me. I was so impressed that he didn't try to sell me a new roof! I completely trust this company and don't plan on ever calling anyone else for my home repair and improvement needs! read more

Gibson Home Services was referred to us by the Maintenance Department in our Gated Community. Upon our approval of their written estimate, Chris came out to reattach some of our shutters that had come down during a fierce wind storm and secured the others that had broken screws. He explained the problems and how he would be able to do the repairs. Chris was knowledgable and very fast. Our shutters are now good for another 15 years. Yea! We will definitely be using Gibson exclusively for all of our home repairs. read more
