Our Gerard Construction team will be among the first to admit that there are a number of hot days around the corner.

We can’t help but feel excited about what is c...

In addition to the hundreds of choices you may consider when thinking about your next home, you have to consider some larger questions from the start. Choices like location, style, and size are important to think through before you pick cabinetry and colors. Before those questions are even asked, you need to decide whether you want to build or buy.
