Jeanne Paulsen

We love our new house! Every detail is perfect and we have Andrea to thank for that. She got to know us and our tastes and guided us through every decision. We counted on her throughout the process. She saved us from making many mistakes. Andrea coordinated and accompanied us to every showroom appointment and even pulled things out of her trunk to show us!

For our “odd requests,” Andrea took the time to research and recommend websites and then helped us narrow things down. We would not have been able to coordinate all the tasks and decisions necessary to complete our beautiful home without her.

Andrea continues to support us through any follow-up and punch list items and is always there to answer our questions.

She treated our house like hers and was excited and enthusiastic throughout the process!

The team at Gary Gardner, Inc. was wonderful. Gary, Chris, Mike, and Andre were always available and worked hard to deliver the best product. They were immediately responsive to any questions or concerns we had.

All their employees and subcontractors did excellent work and were easy to deal with.

The workmanship is outstanding. There is not a thing we would change.

Post construction they are still available and responsive. It has been a great experience, and we are so happy with our house.

I want to commend you for the excellent total renovation you did at our Loveladies residence, on time, and below budget on a challenging renovation. You answered all of our questions, called problems to our attention and were very timely in responding after we moved into the house when we needed some minor adjustments. Jill and I are immensely pleased with the job you have done and you should feel free to use this letter as a reference for your outstanding work.

I have worked with Gary F. Gardner General Contractors on several residential projects, Large and small, over the last decade and found their management and execution of the work to be professional. As an architect I want clear, consistent communication with both the GC’s Project Manager and the Field Superintendent…l get that with Gardner.

There is a refreshing sense of teamwork with the constructors and the design team that leads to good products.
