They finished on time and on budget. More important, Gary pays great attention to detail and works with you to make sure you get what you want. ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — Paredes-Grube Architecture, Dec. 2016** > I've been recommending Gary to my clients for more than 15 years! The quality of his work and his attention to detail is excellent and his passion for what he does is inspiring. Having him as the builder of my own house, I experienced first hand his impeccable service. His crew is top notch, he doesn't settle for less than perfection, and he completes his jobs on time. Gary is such a personable contractor that makes the process of construction an enjoyable one! ## Selected projects - [Waverly Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waverly-road-pj-vj~1743605) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 33 - Description: Architect: Roger Schlicht, RDS Architects Designer: Carolyn Taylor, Carolyn Taylor Interiors - [Mountain Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-avenue-pj-vj~1609287) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Amaryllis Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amaryllis-avenue-pj-vj~1609774) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - Description: Architect: Xiomara Paredes, Paredes-Grube Architecture - [Spencer Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spencer-place-pj-vj~1617195) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: Architect: Xiomara Paredes, Paredes-Grube Architecture - [Braeburn Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/braeburn-road-pj-vj~2824453) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Woodland Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-avenue-pj-vj~1661401) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Architect: Xiomara Paredes, Paredes-Grube Architecture - [Crest Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crest-avenue-pj-vj~1616985) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - Description: Architect: RDS Architects - [Schirra Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/schirra-drive-pj-vj~1662633) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: Architect: Xiomara Paredes, Paredes-Grube Architecture - [Oxford Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oxford-place-pj-vj~1614891) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Architect: Xiomara Paredes, Paredes-Grube Architecture Photo credit: Jeffrey K.
