The Gerber model home at Fox Ridge in Canandaigua, New York

The company

Three generations of building here.

The Gerbers have been putting up houses in this area since 1950. The company has been Gerber Homes since 1981.

Family-run, and still on Ridge Road

Norman and Bruce Gerber started building for families in this area in 1950. The company they founded in 1981 is now three generations deep and has built more than 3,000 homes across Monroe, Ontario and Wayne counties.

We are one of the larger privately owned builders in the region, which has never meant you deal with a call centre. The office is at 1260 Ridge Road in Ontario, and the family is in it.

Norm and Bruce have both served as president of the Rochester Home Builders Association, and Norm is a lifetime director of the national association. The six-year warranty program that association uses — we helped draft it.

What customers wrote

  • We built our dream home last year and choose Gerber Homes as the builder. We can truthfully say that we are happier with our new home now, a year later then when we first built it. It is pretty rare that a purchase of anything gets better with time but this house Gerber built for us does. Gerber was a great company to work with, they listened and designed the home we wanted. The building process…

  • Just a note to say thank you! We chose Gerber Homes because your reputation precedes you. Everyone we talked to said you are professional and offer a quality product, and they were right. We couldn’t be more pleased with our new build in the Macedon/Victor area. We have been in touch with at least a half dozen people from your office, from the sales people to the planning & construction managers,…

  • Jason and I wanted to write and tell you how happy we are with our new Gerber Home! Julie, our sales person, was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and she had the calmness that is needed during the stressful job of building a home. She made our experience so much easier! Our foreman was a delight to work with, very helpful. Gerber was also able to build our home in time for the arrival of our baby…

  • Living in Ontario for 35 years, we've seen many beautiful Gerber homes & projects built throughout the area and so when we finally made the decision to add a sunroom it made sense to us to contact Gerber homes.

  • A note to compliment you on the exceptional work your people did on the remodeling of our cottage in Holland's Cove. The cottage was old, in poor repair, and needed just the kind of attention it received from your guys. An example of the state of condition of the cottage was the time Wade called out to one of his crew "Don't use a Level" - He knew as did the others that there was no part of the…

  • We love our new home! The folks at Gerber turned our dreams into reality as they walked us through the process of finding the perfect lot, choosing the floor plan and selections that fit our vision, and building a quality home. What made it special, however, was the responsive and professional people who worked with us in the office, at the site, and at the suppliers. We feel as though we have…

  • We are so grateful to Wade and Jason for the work they did for us and the North Rose United Methodist Church with the renovation of our Wesley Building. We were really attacking a somewhat unknown situation but Wade and Jason diligently studied what was there and figured out how to best accomplish what we needed. Their guidance and craftsmanship produced a resulting structure so much better than…
