I received two quotes for my garage construction project. Ultimately I went with Gecko, as their price was essentially the same as the other, but promised a one week build instead of four to six week. In addition to getting to use the garage sooner this meant I would have to deal with less of an ongoing disruption to my yard and neighbours, (and dog!). True to plan, this garage was built quick! A couple of work days for concrete prep/pour/form removal, a couple days of actual garage construction once the concrete was all set, and finally door and eave installation. This is achieved by having their own crew do as much work as possible, minimizing reliance on 3rd party subcontractors and their suppliers. Derrick was great to work with throughout the process, handling all permitting, a reasonable installment payment schedule, and allowing me to customize virtually anything I wanted from outlet and door placement to amount of lighting with updated quotes as required. My only complaint is that the overhead door installation, which is done by the door manufacturer and not Gecko, was poorly conceived and implemented. Insufficient wire length is provided for what I would consider proper electrical wiring, resulting in wires run diagonally over the trusses rather than either parallel or perpendicular, which increases the extent that it gets in the way of my planned attic storage utilization. I ended up re-running some segments of the wiring to make it a little more sensible, as some segments lazily crossed over trusses unnecessarily rather than being simply stapled to the side like the main electrical wiring. That's a long ramble for a minor issue, which I really should post to the manufacturer's site instead in hopes they see it and change their ways for their customers benefit. I would absolutely recommend Gecko for new garage construction.
