Moving a back door up half a story is not a routine deck job. A 2023 customer said Dana (Smith) and Tyler (Gibbs) built a new elevated deck for them, which meant moving the existing entry door up half a story so the deck would sit level with the first floor. In that 2023 review, the customer described a new, higher doorway cut into the back of the house and a staircase and small deck platform built inside the garage to reach it. That 2023 customer said the oversized deck extended their living space to the outdoors. A 2023 customer said Tyler, Dana and the crew designed and custom built a breakfast nook in their kitchen. That 2023 customer said they showed up every day during the project, kept the site clean, and that the project was in budget and on time. A 2024 customer said Smith and Gibbs completed an exterior project that included new windows, siding, trim, insulation and storm doors. That 2024 customer mentioned some cold stretches and staffing turnover along the way, and said Dana and Tyler remained patient and committed and brought on help as needed. A 2023 customer described a renovation of two bathrooms and a bedroom as smooth, and cited good communication, reasonable prices and good contacts with other trades. A 2022 customer said Dana and Tyler had some great ideas and stayed engaged through to the very end of the project, following up to make sure everything was done to their satisfaction.

My wife and I are both so pleased with the results of our exterior home improvement project recently completed by Smith and Gibbs. The project included new windows, siding, trim, insulation, and storm doors. Dana and Tyler were great to work with. From demolition to finishing touches, they were professional, courteous, and personable. We felt completely confident and comfortable with their work and with them on our property. There were some cold stretches and some of the usual staffing turnover that plagues any and all businesses these days, but through it all Dana and Tyler remained patient and committed to our project and brought on help as needed who were experienced and also dedicated to nothing but the highest quality workmanship. We highly recommend Smith and Gibbs to anyone considering a building renovation or addition!
I can't say enough good things about the work done by Tyler, Dana, and the crew. They designed and custom built a breakfast nook in our kitchen that exceeded our expectations. Not only are they talented craftsman but they are considerate, smart, professional, and overall great guys. Showed up every day during the project with no stops and starts; excellent communication throughout; kept the site clean; in budget and on time!
Absolutely rock solid team! We’re thrilled with Dana (Smith) & Tyler (Gibbs) who built our brand new elevated deck. They were faced with the challenge of moving our existing entry door up ½ a story in order to build a new deck and bring it level to the 1st floor of our home. This entailed removing the existing door and cutting out a new higher doorway into the back of the house, and building a staircase and small deck platform inside our garage in order to access the new (higher) door. It flows perfectly and access is now seamless, whereas previously it was a disjointed setup. The exterior deck is oversized, and all materials recommended and used by Tyler & Dana are TOP TIER! They’ve transformed how we access our backyard, and extended our living space to the outdoors. So happy with the quality and professionalism of Smith & Gibbs work, and they will always be our first choice for home improvements in future!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We did a renovation of two bathroom and a bedroom and the process was smooth and the results were excellent. Good communication, reasonable prices, and they have good contacts with other trades.
Dana and Tyler were fantastic to work with and had some great ideas. I particularly appreciated their engagement through to the very end of the project. I've had other experiences where I never heard back from the contractor once I made the final payment. These guys have been very responsive and always follow up to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend them to my friends.
