Gecko Projects Ltd

As with any project of this size (and expense), selecting the right company can be a very stressful process. After sourcing estimates from six different builders, including some very reputable heavyweight builders, we made the decision to go with Gecko. From day one I was impressed with Derrick's communication style, attention to detail, competitive pricing and transparency on his team's end-to-end process. I can't state enough how important proper communication is during these projects and Derrick was ALWAYS on top of my questions and scheduling needs. That was just the beginning of the positive experience.

Once we nailed down the schedule and his team arrived, we were amazed at how coordinated they were in the execution. For the record, Derrick's crew was building on a previously poured pad, so we skipped that step. We had the opportunity to observe (okay, we were spying) the team frame out the garage over roughly two days and I couldn't help but joke at how they resembled army ants. There were five+ guys on-site, everyone knew their role, they divided and conquered and the structure went up FAST and with precision. From there it was a very systematic sequence of wiring the electrical, scheduling inspections, installing the insulation/drywall, shingles/siding, eavestroughs, lighting and overhead door.

Everything was delivered as per our specific requirements, on time and on budget. You can't really beat that. We're incredibly satisfied with the end result so much so that we're already trying to think of excuses to work with Derrick's team again. It may be time to start planning that basement reno. We've found our crew!
