I did my homework on contractors and Derrick/Gecko beat the majority of their competitors on price, and were a pleasure to deal with the entire way through the construction process. We had a difficult yard slope to deal with but Derrick stepped up and honoured his quote despite his costs going up to account for building the foundation properly. Construction was slower than expected due to the additional concrete work but Derrick kept up great communication throughout. The changes I requested during construction were accurately priced and he was able to complete those extras within the revised time frame. He even did me a huge favour by leaving me some additional left over material so I could match my kid's play house siding/shingles to the new garage! I highly recommend using Gecko if you're looking for a decent contractor. His own forces crews are super fast (2 days to erect, shingle, and side my garage) and his concrete sub-contractor was square to within 1/8" on a 26' deep garage. That's a level of craftsmanship and professionalism not often seen in many builders. My only downside is he doesn't do basement renos, leaving me to go find someone else when I'd rather hire him again for that future work.

I'm glad everything came together as well as it did Cory! It was a fun project, and you were a treat to work with as well. I'm glad you're happy with the finished product, I was as well. I'll let you know if I ever get into basement renos! Thanks again...
