What Our Clients Say

“The work you and your company performed for us was outstanding. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in selecting Gibson Marine to replace our residence dock and our commercial dock at the Wharf. As a business person, it’s a real pleasure to ‘get what you pay for.’ I can assure you I will go out of my way to recommend your company and please do not hesitate to use us as a reference.”

Bob & Emily Bell

Gibson Marine is an outstanding company in many ways. Their customer service is wonderful. Calls and emails are answered promptly. Requests for estimates are completed in short amount of time and reviewed clearly and precisely. There is strong work ethic among all employes of Gibson Marine. During completion of our new seawall, the crew remained the same through the entire project and they worked long days, the owner, Eric Swagger or the production manger, Mike Mittler visited each day and the wall was completed on schedule. You will not find a better, more reliable company to do business with than Gibson Marine!

Every now and then a company comes along and lives up to the quality and service that it promises. Gibson Marine was one of three local companies that we were considering to install our new seawall. We initially chose Gibson because their consultant Mike Mittler was knowledgeable, timely and would actually answer his phone when ever we called. The process from start to finish was smooth, timely, exactly as promised and with very little disruption to our home or neighbors. Our sea wall is now complete and we are very happy with Gibson Marine and our beautiful new seawall.

Kevin & Debbie Chadwick

“Ours was a 50 year old residential canal-based seawall replacement. From initial contacts with several firms in the area Gibson Marine presented the most reasonable alternatives. Our confidence in them was rewarded by their professional know how and project follow through from beginning to completion. The installation staff attended to design detail and care of the property as work was carried out and completed.”

“From the time I moved into my home, knowing I had a failing seawall, to the day Gibson Marine completed the project, I have never felt as safe as I do now. If there was a higher score than A+, they’d get it!”

L. Pappas, Indian Rocks Beach

“Professionalism isn’t a word big enough to describe Eric [the owner] all the way to each construction worker. I knew from the first day I was dealing with honest, ethical people who would ensure I was safe on my property.”

L. Pappas, Indian Rocks Beach

We are quite pleased with the results of this project.  Gibson helped us design the seawall to protect our property and to prevent erosion.  The retaining wall was built very quickly and the residents have done nothing but compliment Gibson’s work.  The team was cooperative and responsive throughout the process and we are very satisfied with the product, construction quality and service.

Crystal Bay Travel Park Seawall and Dredging Committee met with Eric and Mike of Gibson Marine Construction in April of 2010. Our project consisted of replacing approximately 285 feet of existing seawall, in our waterfront community. They developed a plan that allowed us to replace this with a new vinyl seawall, cap, and tiebacks, also removing  and replacing davit pads as ordered. They were willing to work within our time frame (as most of our homeowners are gone for the summer) and the job site was very restricted with the homes being located very close to the seawall. This project started on time in July and they finished within the time frame as contracted.

Both the job itself and the clean-up process was quite labor intensive and the whole crew put forth an effort above and beyond our committees’ satisfaction.

It is the intent of this committee to complete this on-going project as our budget will allow, and we would not hesitate to work with this contractor, Gibson Marine Construction in the future.

Crystal Bay Travel Park, Palm Harbor, FL

After researching and interviewing three local marine deck/dock installation companies, I chose Gibson Marine Construction. While any of the contractors could have completed the requested project according to my specifications, only Gibson came in and listened to what I wanted and how I wanted the job done. Their insightful advice coupled with the best overall pricing for quality material and labor made my choice rather easy. In short, these guys have got it down to a science and it shows in their approach and delivery of a quality project.

M. Toscano, Clearwater, FL

My experience with Gibson Marine Construction was positive and rewarding since the project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget. Friends, relatives, and neighbors who saw our yard and retaining wall before, and after your company renovated it, are impressed by the changes and how well the project turned out. It has now been almost a year since completion and the wall with associated drains and landscaping have fulfilled my expectations for low maintenance and have added an attractive upgrade to our home. Thank you again for your expertise and professionalism.

“I was referred to you by a fellow neighbor who was also having you do some work at his home in Village of Lake Tarpon. Gibson installed new yard drains at the rear of our home for excess rainwater.  We needed it to properly drain into the canal so it didn’t damage our seawall. Your work was exactly as outlined, advised and expected. The work was done in a timely and professional manner and very fairly priced.”

T. Paine, Palm Harbor, FL

“This was easily the most pleasant experience I have ever had with a contractor. From the very first meeting with Mike, I sensed a degree of professionalism and pride in the projects they have completed.  We are very pleased with the finished product and highly recommend this company for all of the services they offer.”
