It is too bad I can't afford to move out this has been nothing but stress and horror, we have almost had to replace everything in a new built house starting after the first year Hot water Tank went in 6 years, Had to put in new flooring, New Toilet, the cabinets in the Kitchen were never correct ad Korner Stone Kitchens never tried to work with me my cabinets started turning pink within a year the doors never fit perfectly, They didn't even give us grass or a driveway.The windows you can hear when the cars driveby like they are in your house the bathroom and bedroom window are so close together the window is way off center the floor are slanted and not even it is so sad. If you don't believe me I can prove it to you. IDK what they painted my walls with but when we had to have them painted over the paint was not smooth at all . We asked for wheel chair accessible bathrooms they are so small you can barely turn around in them. I asked for extra space in the galley kitchen I don't see it you can barely walk through I had asked for things to be wider because I have back issues and I could very well have to be in a wheel chair someday. Even when they were building the house a man was stealing the lumber I saw him and called the office I wonder if the ever replaced any of the stolen material lumber is that why my walls seem so hollow have been so depressed since I have had this house... I wanrted to sell many times because it is not right or fit for my needs how sad I paids al ot of money down o thsi house **★★★★★ — Susan, May 2024** > Gerber built our house last year and from start to finish the experience was excellent. They were responsive to all of our questions and guided us through the process. The staff was friendly and professional. The communication was timely and accurate. I love our new home and would (and have) recommended Gerber to anyone looking to build. **★★★★★ — Karen Simmonds, Jan. 2024** > Super easy to work with, no major hiccups and did a beautiful job. Cleanest final walk-through I've ever experienced. I thought their process and teamwork were awesome. **★★★★★ — Jim and Jeanne Marten, Jan. 2024** > Gerber Homes and their staff are as advertised to us! They say what they are going to do and they absolutely do what they say! Our entire process from specifications through final inspection was first rate! I grew up in this world and can honestly attest to Gerber Homes honesty and integrity! We did have a few challenges, mostly due to weather, but Gerber rose to all occasions! > > We had an electrical power feed issue after taking possession of our new home. Gerber Homes was accessible and had the issue resolved as fast as you could possibly expect! This was not a workmanship problem! No matter, Gerber Homes went above and beyond to take care of the issue! > > I would HIGHLY recommend Gerber homes to anyone!! **★★ — HU-629574230, July 2022** > The process started off great. Very responsive, and encouraging. Once the build started things were stressful. They never really made us feel like we were a priority. The final paint and drywall were sloppy, and they had lame excuses for them. There wasn’t much care when it came to attention to detail. Lots of little thing all over. Doors that don’t align, sloppy paint and drywall work. Shingles falling out of place after only 5 months. We always felt like they were just putting us on the back burner. John won’t even respond to emails. Definitely wouldn’t build with them again. **★★★★★ — HU-988756516, Oct. 2021** > Gerber Homes was a wonderful organization to work with! Right from the beginning, John and Leanne were helpful and informative with our questions. The company is very friendly, organized, and patient (especially with all of our questions). Our house is beautiful. Thank you, Gerber Homes. **★★★★★ — HU-997369013, Oct. 2021** > We built a new home with Gerber early this year. Despite being during a pandemic with many supply chain challenges, they made the process very easy. They helped us every step up the way. The thing that really stood out to us about Gerber was their customer service. Any request or question we had was answered the same day, even after hours by Danille. At the end we ended up with a house that we love and got to work with great people throughout the journey! We would highly recommend Gerber for anyone looking to build a new home. **★★★★★ — HU-983885906, Oct. 2021** > We purchased a newly built home from Gerber. John was extremely helpful during the entire process. Since then, we had Gerber add a deck to our home. Once again, they did not disappoint. Everything in our home is of the highest quality and workmanship. Whether you are building a new home or you require added work, I reccomed Gerber Homes. Like us, you will not be disappointed. > > David and Monica Ambeau > Ontario, New York **★ — HU-840891244, March 2021** > Worst builder ever. Made our dream of building a new house into a nightmare. Issues with floor joist, water in basement, vinyl siding flying off, egress window leaking, poor quality work, and too many problems to list. We are still dealing with problems still in the present day over three years later. **★★★★★ — Mark Mitchell, Oct. 2020** > Gerber Homes built my home in 2012. It was a positive experience overall and all the work was done to my complete satisfaction. I have recommend Gerber to friends. > This year (2020) I noticed some water damage on the frame of the porch. I called Gerber to get a recommendation on how to fix the problem and correct the cause of it. I wasn’t sure I would get a response. > To my surprise, Gerber looked at the damage and agreed to resolve the problem. They sent a carpenter and painter to complete the work at no cost to me. > This is a testament to Gerber’s commitment to customer satisfaction. I am a very satisfied customer! **★★★★★ — Robert Fisher, July 2020** > Building my new custom home with Gerber was a great experience. I am extremely pleased with the quality and value of the home. Many thanks to the Gerber team! **★★★★★ — Carly A, July 2020** > We can’t say enough about how pleased we are with Gerber Homes! They made building our dream home a breeze. Everyone on the Gerber team did everything they could to make sure our home was exactly what we wanted. Julie was so patient and accessible when working with us on designing our dream home, and her price estimates/projections were spot-on. Danille always responded within hours with answers to our questions (no matter the topic), even on weekends! And when we made some unusual requests to make our home as sustainable as possible (for example, installing a heat pump instead of a traditional gas furnace), John didn’t bat an eye and made it happen. The whole team worked diligently to get us moved into our new home before everything shut down due to the pandemic, which was so appreciated. ## Selected projects - [Remarkable Custom Home in Greater Rochester](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remarkable-custom-home-in-greater-rochester-pj-vj~6186015) - Location: Ontario, NY - Photos: 56 - Description: You've got to see the kitchen inside this beauty?We mixed elements of contemporary and farmhouse styles to create this modern country inspired custom home.
