Gibson Home Improvement is a remodeling contractor, and in a 2018 review a customer on their first home purchase said they hired Colin and his team for a job that included a kitchen renovation, a half bath renovation and converting a small bedroom into a full bathroom. That 2018 customer said Colin called whenever he needed to and kept them up to date. In a 2016 Google review, a customer described hiring Colin and his team to section off part of an already finished basement for a wine cellar: removing the existing walls and ceiling, framing, insulating, plastering, tiling, and installing a door and a climate control system. That 2016 customer said Colin typed up a detailed quote and contract with a timeline of estimated completion dates, and primed the entire room at no extra cost so the baseboard caulking would look right. The same 2016 customer wrote that while Colin and his plumber were working in the mechanical room, they noticed a furnace issue that was potentially releasing carbon monoxide, addressed it and called the furnace manufacturer to confirm the set-up. In that 2016 review, Colin also bought and installed a carbon monoxide detector in that room before leaving for the day. In a 2009 HomeAdvisor review, a customer said Colin called if he was delayed or plans changed, and showed them how bad things were as he came to more rot. A 2009 Angi customer said the painting of the siding was still left to do because of the winter, and that they were confident he would come back in spring to finish it. A 2007 Angi customer wrote that Colin Gibson had finished framing their basement. In a 2007 Angi review, a customer said Colin had his own people and coordinated everything himself, and that two other people they spoke with through ServiceMagic were much more in cost. A 2006 Angi customer said Colin adjusted his bill down when the job took less time than expected. The company's website says it has been in business 20 years and offers bathroom remodels, basement finishing and interior and exterior painting. Its BBB grade is A+. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 137931, in Colin Gibson's name, is active on the state registry.
This was my first home purchase and my first renovation and thank goodness I hired Colin and his team. This has been a great experience. Colin and his team are thoughtful and talented. My job included a kitchen renovation, a half bath renovation and converting a small bedroom into a full bathroom. Colin called whenever he needed to and kept me up-to-date and well informed always. I really lucked out! I could not have had a better contractor and team or a better experience.
We've hired several contractors over the years for a variety of projects and Colin is hands down the most knowledgeable, talented and easy to work with. We hired Colin and his team to section off part of our already finished basement to build a wine cellar. This included removing the existing walls/ceiling, framing, insulating, putting up new wall, plastering, tiling and installing a door and climate control system. Colin is very professional and tech savy. After coming to our home to discuss the project, he typed up a detailed quote/contract including a timeline with estimated dates of completion for various tasks. He was in constant communication throughout the project via phone, text and email (whether it be about arrival times, project related decisions or summarizing the status). We were impressed by his and his subcontractors quality of work and friendliness. He is detail oriented and cares about how the job looks. For example, to save money, we told him that we would do the painting. However, as the project progressed, he wanted to make sure the caulking on the baseboard looked right, so he primed the entire room at no extra cost. He is also just a caring person. While he and his plumber were working in our mechanical room, they noticed a major issue with our furnace which was potentially releasing carbon monoxide into our home. He and his plumber addressed the issue, even going as far as calling the manufacturer of furnace to confirm the proper set-up. Before leaving for the day, he also ran to Home Depot, purchased and installed a carbon monoxide detector in that room so that we would have piece of mind. He truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful. We have already started working with Colin on another project and look forward to hiring him in the years to come.

Very great person to work with. He takes time to listen to what the customer wants and works with him to finish the project. In our case the painting of the sidings is still left to do because of the winter. But I am confidant that in Spring he will come and finish the painting work.
Colin listen to what I had to say about the job I wanted done. After the work started, called if he was delayed or change of plans. Showed me about how bad things were as he came to more rot. He cares about the way job looks at the end of the day. I would recommend Colin to anyone. Priscilla
