It could be said that Steve Lecas was born to build homes. He was born in Burbank, Illinois in 1963 to a father that was an avid construction guy. With a degree in Business Management from Eureka College in hand, he built his first home in Frankfort, Illinois. The quality of craftsmanship in this custom home and more that followed established Gander Builder’s reputation as the leading luxury home builder in the Chicago area.

Keeping up with tradition Steve’s son Jarrett joined the Gander team as a Field Supervisor .

Gander Builders reputation with area tradesmen, village officials and satisfied customers has earned their respect over the years.
