A LONG TIME LOCAL BUSINESS

Ron Gardner with his family Bob, Blake and Luann have been remodeling homes and businesses in the Western Michigan and Grand Rapids area for over 56 years. They complete over 1,500 jobs per year.

They try hard to make everyone happy. Honest prices, good workmanship and low pressure selling using excellent materials has been the secret to the Gardner’s long career in the business. Honesty is the key say Ron Gardner. Customers that are treated honestly will almost always return for more work or refer someone else. It’s been proven and it works says Gardner. There is a lot of high pressure selling going on out in the marketplace, but that’s not our way. When people get estimates from contractors, they should always call the Grand Rapids Better Business Bureau. Get the report from the BBB and make a decision not forced or pressured by a salesman or sign now in hurry contracts are usually not to the customers benefit says Ron. Be smart and look at all the facts. The Gardner Family plans on being around another 50 years to serve its customers. They thank all its past customers and clients for their trust and confidence in Professional Home Improvement - Ron Gardner and Staff
