We built our garage three months short of five years ago. We haven’t had any issues, until today. The spring on a garage door broke trapping my car in the garage. I called Derrick, and with in two hours he had a very polite man here to assess my issue and free my vehicle. The service technician has plans to have the spring fixed within the next few days. I am in absolute shock that it was this easy to deal with this company. There was no arguing, there was no blaming, he just checked his system confirmed that it was still under warranty and had a solution. If you want a quality garage built to last with great customer service these are your guys. Less

Was looking for a garage builder and contacted a few companies. Derrick at Gecko projects instantly stood out from the rest with their quoting process, knowledge and professionalism. Their price was competitive with others and the quality of the result I got was top notch. Derrick was able to provide me with insight in the design of the garage as well as noteworthily upgrades that would suit my workplace perfectly. They worked around all our home builder issues and took care of every aspect of the garage build. Being a project manager for my regular job it was quite relaxing letting Derrick and the team handle the job from start to finish. The garage was built on time, quickly and properly. All the guys were friendly and cleaned up after themselves each day. Will use Gecko projects for my next garage and highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality garage build. Less
I had Gecko build a beautiful 28x38 garage for me in Okotoks. Derrick was very professional, prompt, and fully involved throughout the entire process.

Everybody who came to work on the project was professional and it shows in the build quality which is second to none. Derrick took care of everything from design and permits, to arranging the final finishing of the drywall and everything in between, making it totally pain free. I would absolutely recommend using this company to my family and friends, you won’t find a better experience. Less

We are happy with our garage that was built by Gecko Projects. At the very beginning, it was Derrick who pointed out that our concrete pad was done poorly and uneven which we did not even noticed when we moved to our place. We were able to have this corrected by the builder. They built our garage in just one day (minus the garage door), I was surprised at how fast they built it - there were around 5-6 crew members working that day. Nevertheless, we were impressed by the quality of the built. We are glad to have chosen Gecko after looking at a few quotes from other builders (a couple were cheaper). Most importantly, I am amazed and grateful at how Derrick was able to help us solve an issue with the town permit office regarding our lot. We have already referred him to our neighbors who were also impressed by the work they've done. Less
Gecko Projects was recommended to me by my neighbour, who had her garage built by Gecko a few years back. I am so glad she did! Derrick came by and quoted me on exactly what I was looking for.

Gecko Projects was recommended to me by my neighbour, who had her garage built by Gecko a few years back. I am so glad she did! Derrick came by and quoted me on exactly what I was looking for. I needed a slightly taller than usual garage to accommodate my Thule rack while open on my SUV. He provided me with choices on things like lighting, door locks, windows, and even got the foundation team to do a custom engraving at the man-door entrance, which was a huge hit with my kids! Derrick kept me apprised of the progress of the building permit, timelines and when crews would be working. The foundation was done in one morning, and the rest of the garage was done in 1.5 days. It would have likely been done in one day had it not been for high winds, forcing them to stop working. His crew was efficient, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Gecko Projects to anyone looking for a reliable and high quality garage! Less

By far, the best construction company we've ever used! Gecko Projects built our 24x22 garage from beginning to completion, including the concrete pad and the building structure. The initial contact, estimate, and conversations were prompt, clear and very informative. Derrick was very open, honest and transparent about the entire process. Derrick kept in touch with us constantly to ensure we were in the loop on every aspect of the build. He made sure all our questions were answered and explained every step. The build is quite something to watch. It's such a streamlined process. The guys are so in sync with each other - an amazing team! They work so well together. Once they had the concrete pad done, it went so fast! They started at 7am and by 3:30 pm the same day, it was done...including the siding and shingles. Within a couple more days the electrical, eavestroughing, and big door were in. We couldn't believe it! And...not one problem or issue! They operate like a well oiled machine - organized, and efficient! The guys were extremely polite, friendly and respectful of our property. Their service is what sets them apart from anyone else. I would highly recommend this team! We are so pleased that we chose Gecko for this project! Less

All of the work they completed was when he said it would be done and it was done very well, anytime we had questions of the process or how they were building things anybody working on site was happy to answer and talk with us for a few minutes, Matt and Luke were especially helpful. Derrick always answered all of our emails and kept us up to date on the project timeline. Garage looks fantastic, is rock solid and came in at the exact cost that they said it would, and built within the scheduled timeline, couldn't ask for better Thank you guys very much! Less

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.

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.

Finally, when it came time to build, his team was so organized it all happened right on time when he said they would build it and it exceeds all expectations. They had the project done in just a few days and it is incredible to see just how hard working and organized his team is. He kept in close contact with us during the build and we answered questions quickly. He sets the bar so high we aren't sure if we will ever be able to find contractors like him and his team again! They are truly exceptional. Less

Derrick was in contact with me throughout the whole process and was very quick to respond to my multiple questions. My initial request was a two car garage but when Derrick came by for the initial inspection I had mentioned I wanted to close off my yard with a fence and gate. Derrick provided me with specs right away and the full details of the project and made the whole process so quick and easy. When it came time to build I couldn't believe the professionalism of him and his entire crew, not to mention how quick they worked on everything - these guys certainly know what they're doing. The fence and gates that were built from scratch were done with such expertise as well, I'm so glad I went with Gecko for this project. Less

If you want a quality garage built at a fair price, Gecko is your go-to contractor. Less

We unfortunately had to tear down our garage due to another company’s shoddy workmanship, built before we purchased our house. It was beyond repair and after having several garage builders assess the situation, and getting three different quotes, we decided to go with Gecko Projects. Gecko was highly rated and came in substantially cheaper than the other quotes, including demolition. Derrick and crew made quick work of the project. Demolition was done in a single day. The concrete was poured and finished perfectly, and they even brushed the curb wall. It was amazing to watch the crew put the garage up so quickly. Framing, siding, roofing, electrical and OH door was done in three days. The attention to detail was great, and Derrick kept us informed with each phase of the build. The crew worked like a well oiled machine, and we are very happy with our new garage. I highly recommend Gecko Projects if you have a garage project! Less

I don't think the man puts down his cellphone for an hour a day as he is so responsive. He makes you feel like you are part of every step of the process so you are never left wondering "when are they doing...." The build quality is better than I expected and they listened to every tweak/demand we requested. Everything was done on time and to/or above my expectations. I never feel compelled to review businesses but they went so far beyond my expectations that I would feel guilty if I didn't. Great job Derrick and team! Less

I first saw Gecko Projects when a neighbour built a garage in the summer of 2020. I was very impressed with the ethic and quality of work I saw being done. I contacted Derrick and received a quote but I would have to wait until 2021 to have my project completed. During the fall/winter, I emailed Derrick every now and then with some follow-up questions. His responses were very thorough and all of my questions were answered. Towards the end of winter, Derrick came by and surveyed the site and we started ironing out the details of the build. I was told my garage would probably be built at the end of June or early July with the current waitlist (which is exactly when it was finished). I was advised of the build start date two weeks before construction started. This allowed me to clear anything from the parking pad that needed clearing. When the job started, things moved quickly. I was impressed with all the crew members that worked on my garage. The concrete crew was very detailed and took their time to ensure everything was done properly. The overall garage quality is fantastic. Inspectors, friends, and family members have all noted that the quality of the garage is "above and beyond" what you would expect. I would highly recommend Gecko Projects to anyone looking to have a garage built. * I received my quote in 2020; when wood prices skyrocketed in 2021, Derrick sent an email stating that he would still honour the 2020 quotes. I believe this illustrates that Derrick is also an honourable business person, which should not be taken for granted. Less
