Gecko Projects Ltd

It took us two years to decide and get moving on our project. We had to demolish a rotting triple car garage and build a new triple. I interviewed several builders and did my homework. Derrick identified issues and solutions others did not. These issues added to the cost, but had we gone with some of the cheaper proposals, we would have found ourselves in trouble. After considering our options digging deeper, it was clear that Derrick had superior knowledge of his business, was honest, a good communicator and was thinking from the customer's perspective. It is a decision we will never regret. From the beginning, the project was run with efficiency and professionalism. From tear down to build and finish - the entire project exceeded our expectations. Our questions and issues were dealt with promptly. The final product is quality all the way from the fine details to the overall operation and look. We are thrilled with our new garage and I get pleasure from it every time I go through the doors. I would recommend Derrick and the Gecko crew to anyone. It was a pleasure working with them.

Derrick did a garage for my parents and they had nothing but good things to say. When the time came to do ours we contacted him as well. I went through about 3 designs before settling on what we built Derrick was very patient in dealing with us and had excellent suggestions on how to make the most out of our garage. Ours was a bit complicated as we dealt with a utility right of way as well as my request to have the ceiling vaulted as high as possible inside. Derrick and his team came up with a design that was fantastic and worked around the utility right of way perfectly. The process was very easy and transparent as he makes the building permit available to follow along and he provides a schedule of events for you to understand the process. The site was tidy and his crew looked after all the site prep including tree removal and cleanup. His communication is excellent and he does what he says he will do. I would highly recommend him.

Working with Derrick at Gecko was so easy. He communicated very well right from the start, sent updates at every step along the way, and didn't leave any questions to be asked. Construction of the garage only took 3 days max, start to finish, and the quality of work was excellent. I will recommend Gecko to friends and family whenever I can.

We were referred to Gecko by our realtor. We had just purchased the house and wanted to add a double car garage. We met with Derrick and between our requests and his suggestions a plan was conceived. He looked after all the surveys and permits, and made all arrangements from tree removal to concrete pour. He gave us a deadline of when the job would be completed and easily met it. I believe total construction time including siding and shingles was approximately ten hours The next day the garage door installer showed up and the job was completed. I work with a lot of contractors in my profession and these guys were great. He only has one crew and he runs it himself. Once they started the job they stayed with it until it was done. I spoke to one of the inspectors after the completion and they said it was first rate. Derrick and his crew were top notch and did a great job for us. Thank you Gecko.

Derrick and the team from Gecko projects were amazing to work with. Gecko built a double car garage for us in NW Calgary. We had a great experience working with them and I would highly recommend them.

Communication was easy, efficient and straightforward. Derrick was always easy to reach and happy to answer any questions we had.

Derrick was flexible and worked with us to make sure that our building schedule worked well for us. The garage was built quickly, efficiently and well. We are very happy with the final result. We are very satisfied with the quality and care taken in building our garage.

Although a bit more expensive than the few other builders we looked at, you definitely get what you pay for. We have only had the garage for a few months and can always see the difference the quality of building materials can make.

Once the garage was built, we had a minor issue with some flashing/troughing. Derrick came out right away to look at the issue (which none of us could figure out the cause of). The issue was fixed within the next day, without a problem.

We were very impressed with Derrick and his team's dedication, efficiency and dedication to getting the job done right.

For anyone looking to build a garage, I highly recommend Gecko.

All I can say is WOW! Derrick and his crew were outstanding with our garage build! Even the building inspector was impressed with the quality and workmanship! From our Initial contact with Derrick to the after build follow up, Derrick went above and beyond to answer any questions we had and to accommodate us. He is the most friendly, personable and honest contractor we have worked with and without question we would recommend Gecko projects to build your garage. Derrick was hands on with his crew during the whole build and they only build your garage once they start. Never multiple projects going on. If you are looking for top quality workmanship, a good price and honest and trustworthy people to build your garage do not look any further. Gecko projects will meet and exceed your expectations.

We hired Derek after reading his reviews of previous customers. We appreciated how quickly he communicated with us, from coming to give us a quote and throughout the building process. If we had questions he responded quickly to our emails. We were lucky to have been able to start our garage early, when Derek had an opening we appreciated being asked if we wanted to start early. His crew kept the work area very clean every day. They even fenced off a small part of the yard for our dog. We were very impressed with how quickly the garage went up, Derek’s coordination with the city made the project run smoothly. We will definitely refer Gecko projects to anyone wanting a garage.

Oversize double garage build. From planning to concrete, to completion Derrick and his team were excellent. Very hard working crew that completed the build in under two days. If you want a quality garage built better and quickly give them a call.

We hired Derrick and team to build us a 24 x 24 detached garage. As many other reviewers have said, it truly was a painless process working with Derrick. He set our minds at ease, knowing he knew exactly what he and his team were doing. It was amazing to see how fast it went up, and we were very happy with everyone on our property that we came into contact with. Throughout the build, we received many compliments from neighbours of how fast it went up, and quality of build (from neighbours' who work in construction). Overall very happy, wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to build a garage in the Calgary area.

We recently had a garage built by Derrick and his company and we could not be happier with the finished product. Everything that was communicated to us; from the estimate, to the start date and time and completion date was exactly as promised. The entire structure was completed in one day (minus the garage door as the building inspection had to be completed), the site was left cleaner than before they arrived. We highly recommend Derrick and his company; they were professional and very friendly throughout the process.
