Shiplap rocketed into the design world a few years ago and exploded into many shows, magazines, and homes across the country. While there are some great features to this design trend, it can be overdone or done wrong, either one causing issues as you plan your renovation. Our designer, Jennifer, has some tips and tricks for you while Gerard Construction is walking you through your build, or as you are thinking about your next redesign for your home.

Of all the details people may imagine about building their dream home or renovating their existing home, cabinet hardware may not be high on the list of things to consider ahead of time. The truth is, cabinet hardware can make a difference in a subtle way to your bathroom, kitchen, or other areas where Gerard Construction has included cabinetry. Here are a few tips our construction and design team recommend for your home.

While not immediately noticeable, the backsplash of your kitchen is a great way to add interest and a pop of color as you think about the design aspects of the space. While you will want to think about your cabinet color or stain and structure when you are choosing your backsplash, there are so many options to consider. Gerard Construction can help you choose a perfect backsplash on your new build or on the renovation you are contemplating for your home.

Gerard Construction knows that building a new home is an exciting start for any family or individual, of any age. Picking a custom home builder may feel a little less exciting, especially when you see how many options are possible. You want the freedom a custom home can provide, but you also want the home builder that is going to work best for you. Gerard knows this is a big choice, so we have a number of questions, and answers, any custom home builder should be able to field.

Changing your space isn’t just about putting up walls or picking out tile, instead, your space can support the way you live your life, making it more functional. Design creates this function, in addition to making your space beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

Our Gerard team loves HGTV, home improvement shows, and scrolling through Pinterest just as much as anyone else does. Not only can it be a nice break to relax, but it provides inspiration and ideas for what we love to do in the homes we build. It can be difficult though, when you see the edited version of their remodels to decide how much to take on as the homeowner and when to leave the work to the professionals. Gerard Construction is here to help guide you and to take on the big tasks.

Having an Interior Designer on the Gerard Construction team was a great step in serving the families who build or renovate with us. However, many have asked what the difference is between interior design and interior decorating as they begin to work with Jennifer through this process.

Gerard Construction knows we are in a unique position by having an Interior Designer who is devoted to helping our families in their building process. The level of care and thought Jennifer shows to every detail about a build or renovation helps our clients love their home even more. By doing a little work up front, Jennifer and the rest of the Gerard team can help from the first steps to make your home exactly what you desire.

Gerard Construction loves to build and remodel, in any way, shape or form. Whether we are helping a family purchase land and create their architectural plans for their dream home or remodeling a home that has been in the family for years and just needs a little tweaking and adjusting, Gerard loves to see homes in this community being made into what the family needs and wants. With our spec homes, we have the same passion for building, with the hope we are creating something a family will fall in...

You have the perfect location, the perfect neighbors, and the perfect piece of property, but the home you are living in just isn’t right. It needs more. More storage, more updating, and more space. Rather than trying to find a new perfect, a remodel may be in order. Gerard Construction can help turn your less than perfect home into your dream home, with some considerations in mind.
