TESTIMONIALS

"We recently moved into our new custom home and were very impressed with the home building process with Gardella Homes! Having heard horror stories about other builders, we were amazed at how stress-free and pleasant the entire experience was.

Sean Gardella personally walked us through every step of the way and we really felt he had our best interest in mind. His attention to detail, eye for design and ability to help us get the most value for our budget, made our entire experience outstanding. Without question we would recommend Gardella Homes and plan to build our next home with them!"

“Having built homes in the past, we had prepared ourselves for a difficult experience and were extremely surprised at how smoothly it went! We know it can be difficult for builders in this industry, having to depend on so many other companies’ services, but Gardella Homes handled the entire process with finesse. They managed to avoid cutting corners where other builders would have taken short-cuts and did an excellent job making us feel at ease.

Gardella Homes is very proud of the beautiful homes they build and they stand behind their product. Their customer service is exceptional, even after the sale. It’s been a few years since we moved into our home, and Sean Gardella is always responsive, personally handling our requests. We would highly recommend their services and feel their product and customer service stand high above the rest!”

Sean Gardella was a pleasure to work with and became more than builder for us, but a friend who we still keep in contact with frequently!

Philanthropy

Gardella Homes Inc. actively supports the Holley Ear Institute, a non-profit organization that provides life-enhancing programs for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The founder and president of the institute is Ardis Gardella, the wife of Raymond Gardella, president of Gardella Homes Inc.

In 1993 the Holley Ear Institute commenced a development, the Family Village, for the deaf on Vineyard Lake in the Irish Hills, just a mile from Brooklyn, Michigan. Gardella Homes Inc. built the first complex for the institute, a building that houses 16 families for lodging and networking. Five years later the institute built another facility for assembly and deaf stage performances, and Gardella Homes Inc. accomplished this. Most recently, Gardella Homes Inc. completed a third building for the institute, a fine arts building for deaf artist and students.

Gardella Homes Inc. remains committed to assisting Ardis Gardella and the Holley Ear Institute in annual fund raising programs for the deaf. It is both a business and family involvement. Get more info»




Warranty Info

We realize that sometimes .01% counts more than the 99.99%. With this understanding, Gardella Homes Inc. is striving each day to make warranty response quicker, the process more reliable and doing it right the first time a must. We have implemented new technology that allows us to take notes with a client at a 5 p.m. meeting and have faxes with these notes on our trades and suppliers desk by the very next morning. This same program lets us monitor scheduled date versus actual and numerous other management functions to the benefit of our clients.


That said, doing it right the first time is why you will seldom receive warranty service without someone from Gardella homes being present. We feel it's important to take that opportunity to actively discuss the issues at hand, and use that information to find proactive ways to avoid future issues of the same nature!
