Gerard Construction Blog

When you are building a home or doing a remodel with Gerard Construction, we will walk you through parts of the construction process you never really thought about. While you may have Pinterest boards filled with cabinet hardware, wall colors, and your favorite types of flooring, we doubt there is much about which type of insulation you prefer.

Gathering together is an idea important for many homeowners and is especially true as we enter into the holiday season where doors are opened for friends, family, and loved ones. Once they enter through that open door though, what do you do if your home is sectioned off, rather than with the open concept floor plan you wish you had? Gerard Construction has ideas for your next remodel to take down walls and rebuild space to create the larger and more open space you are looking for.

When a family considers building a custom home, they may jump hundreds of steps down the process to picking out paint colors and adding in their favorite pieces of furniture. Custom home building takes time and before Gerard Construction even breaks ground, there are questions you need to ask.

Gerard Construction can help you choose a perfect backsplash on your new build or on the renovation you are contemplating for your home.

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.

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.

Gerard Construction wants every house to feel like a home, whether we are helping to build from the ground up or we are taking an existing home and helping the homeowner tweak it into the perfect place for years to come.

After getting your custom estimate from us and then securing the funds, the fun part of the process begins: the building. We aren’t exaggerating when we say we believe building homes is fun.
