Gecko Projects Ltd

Derrick and his team did a fantastic job for us on our garage project this summer. It was not an easy build as it was on a sloped location and the services had to be trenched a long way from the house to the garage. The weather this spring was terrible and added to the difficulty and pushed out the timing. Throughout the project, Derrick did a great job of keeping us up to date as to what was going on. He was always accessible via phone or email when he wasn’t on site. His team was very organized, professional, and tidy. Derek was fair with the original quote and any adjustments that we made to the build. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our garage and get compliments frequently. Derrick really cares about his clients and takes pride in his work. We

I got several quotes to have a double garage built and a fence replaced. The prices were all within the same range so my decision to go with Gecko came down to:
1. Derrick’s friendly personality
2. Derrick’s honesty and breadth of knowledge
3. The inclusion of details that some of the other contractors left out
4. Derrick promised me I would have a garage built by winter. Other contractors weren’t sure about the timing because the concrete companies get so busy towards the end of the season that it is hard to know when anyone would be able to come. Some contractors said I might not be able to have it done until the spring.

The concrete part of the job did take the longest but it was for the standard reasons (build, pour, wait, build, pour, wait). Once the concrete was done the garage structure was almost fully built in one day, and then the fence was done the following day. Super fast.

The team was very courteous and friendly. My daughter had a tiny tree sapling given to her, which we had planted in the ground in the summer. That little tree went undisturbed through the entire process. There were machines and shovels and work boots in the yard but nothing trampled the tree. (Now we just have to hope it survives the winter.)

Excellent, uncompromising, quality work. I recommend Gecko Projects without hesitation.

We came across Gecko projects and Derek at the home show in Calgary in while getting quotes we got back in touch with Derek as various other quotes were through the roof, or too cheap to make you wonder...

Derek came by personally and was very pleasant and honest, pointing some flaws with other quotes and giving the truth about requirements in Mahogany. Along with that, his pricing was ideal and unlike other builders (as he pointed out) everything was "extra" which meant more cost. Gecko projects however just includes most "extra" as a base item.

Communication was always great, even if things could be off by a day or 2. The Gecko team managed to squeeze in pouring our pad with off weather and as soon as they could start to build they were all there. I think within a day, we had walls, a roof and half of the siding up and the shingles down...

literally, if you blink you might miss your garage getting built!

Would recommend Derek and the team at Gecko any day of the week!

Hired Derrick and Gecko Garage Builders based on a referral from a family member and was not disappointed. The garage was up in a day, and finished quickly afterwards (and built well!). The crew was friendly and worked around our schedule.
Would definitely recommend to anybody wanting a quick, clean and extremely well done garage build.

Derrick and his crews are awesome people and their work is like stunning! Even my neighbors who watched their work were surprised as they built my garage really quick and nice.
As many people know, it is difficult to find a reliable people all the time. Gecko is not only professional but also reliable. I personally don't like people who does not clean and organize a work area when they work. The way they did was super satisfied and I would recommend these guys for everyone.
Thanks Derrick.
Best wish!

Derrick and his team were fantastic to work with from the start to finish. Not easy to find a contractor who is honest, fair value, does great work, and is reliable. We were impressed with the quality of the garage build, and his ability to accommodate our specific requirements. Ended up building a insulated and drywalled oversize garage. Derrick's team had experience installing James Hardie siding, and in areas where he contracted out work he had relationships with quality trades. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Derrick and his team.

We were very happy that we chose Gecko Projects Ltd. to build our garage... Derrick was extremely helpful, right from the quote stage where he offered great suggestions, through to the build, to completion. He kept us informed all along the way, he was able to complete the garage well within the scheduled timeline...the workers were very friendly, polite and kept the site clean and manageable. Clean upon completion was outstanding as well.... thank you Gecko and Derrick for helping us out! We love our new garage!

Hands down the best experience that I've had to date with any contract for any project. Derrick's team was extremely professional, tidy and always on time. I've never built anything to this scale before and they were extremely patience with me during the entire process, from supplying me with 20 different quotes to making last minute additions.

Would highly recommend this group of professional garage building any day to any one, any time. Thanks.

Derrick and his team were great to work with they were always on schedule and professional. The communication from Derrick is on point you can already reach him by email on phone with is great.

The team was fast and prompt they had the project done in 2 days.

Would be happy to recommend to anyone looking start a project with them.

Derrick and his team did an excellent job building my garage. Derrick was very diligent about keeping me informed, and was quick to respond to any concerns that arose (only one minor one). I was very impressed by the reliability, timeliness, sticking to the quote, and quality of workmanship. I would highly recommend Gecko Projects for a new garage build.
