Gardner & Co. Builders says on its website that it pairs careful planning with personal communication to build homes and spaces around the way people live. A 2024 customer said Tim Gardner replaced a rotting deck where the boards had to be angled around the pool, and has since replaced a bedroom door in their 100-year-old house. A 2024 customer who needed over 30 feet of the house sill plate replaced said Tim fixed that issue and updated the siding and window trim. That 2024 customer said they would be hiring Tim again to build a staircase. A 2025 customer said Tim replaced a sliding door and helped turn an outdoor patio into a large deck, and that he reached out to keep them informed on progress and timelines. A 2025 customer said Tim rebuilt their deck stairs, did some interior work and met a deadline, since the work was needed before their son's second birthday party. A 2025 customer who found Gardner Home Improvement through an advertisement in their local paper said Tim kept them up to date with phone calls and texts before the project date and told them what he was doing while on site. A 2024 customer called Tim's pricing very reasonable and said they had already lined him up for future projects. A 2026 customer praised Tim's commitment to making sure everything was done right.
Tim went above and beyond throughout the entire project. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to making sure everything was done right truly set him apart. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
I am so glad I came across the advertisement for Gardner Home Improvement in my local paper. From the initial phone call to the completion of the project, Tim was fantastic. His communication is spot on by keeping the customer up to date on the project from phone calls/texts leading up to the project date and while on site informing the client of what he is doing as well as asking if you have any questions along the way. I found Tim to be very professional, personable, accommodating and very detailed in his craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Gardner Home Improvement for your carpentry needs.
We had a great experience working with Tim and Gardner Home Improvement. Tim replaced a sliding door and helped us turn an outdoor patio into beautiful large deck that we will enjoy for years to come. He’s an expert carpenter with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and he made sure that both projects were completed to the highest standards of quality. We also appreciated Tim’s proactive style of communication, as he reached out to keep us informed on progress and timelines throughout the process. We would highly recommend his work and look forward to future projects!
Gardner home improvement exceeded our expectations. Tim saved us when facing a tight timeline to finish our project. He clearly knows what he is doing when faced with any construction challenge. Confident, efficient and gets the job done!
Tim was great. He rebuilt my deck stairs and preformed some interior work for me. Tim was able to meet a dead line too, as we needed the work done prior to having our son's second birthday party. 100% recommended!
