Testimonials

We threw an amazingly challenging project to Gerding and gave them a short timeline to do so. They completed our project ahead of schedule and it was exceptionally done. We also added significant scope to the project, yet that still didn’t prevent them from meeting our deadlines.
Todd A. Miller
Santiam Canyon School District
The construction process has been educational, challenging, and sometimes difficult. Working with Gerding Builders has made it easier and enjoyable. Their ability to make everyone feel we are on the same team to get things done, they achieve this with open and direct communication. From day one I felt that my voice was heard and valued. It has been a pleasure working with Gerding Builders.
