Testimonials

"At first I didn't believe that G.J. Gardner Homes could save me money. After purchasing the franchise and delving into the estimating package, I am now convinced that I am saving 12% on my costs from before. Probably my favorite thing about purchasing this franchise is the support from the head office.

The sub franchisor team is there for us at all times. Even after two years they are still there giving us advice and support at all levels of our business. This year 2009 has been a tough year for builders in my area, however, my franchise has increased its sales over last year. Buying the franchise was the best business decision I have ever made." Jeff Kreiter, Kingsburg, CA

"I started GJ Gardner Homes in 1983 and I really put my success down to the ability of my sales people being able to quote 2000 to 3000 sq. ft. custom homes in an hour or two, that my estimating system allowed me to know the cost of a job to the last penny before I signed the contracts, and my scheduling system allow me to build most homes in less than eight weeks. Our systems cover every aspect of construction from first contact to final handover of the completed home." Greg Gardner Los Angeles CA
