G.J. Gardner Homes originated back in 1983, when Greg Gardner realized the need for building quality homes on time and on budget. Greg grew the company to eight offices with 65 office staff and 65 sales staff, building as many as 1000 custom homes a year. G.J. Gardner Homes traded successfully with an established reputation for great value and quality.
Greg made the decision to turn G.J. Gardner Homes into a custom home construction franchise, as a means to give his key people a share in his success and their success. The first G.J. Gardner Homes building franchise commenced operations in May 1995. Today, there are currently over 105 G.J. Gardner Homes construction franchises operating throughout the United States, (CA & CO) Australia, and New Zealand, supported by several Master Franchisees.
