We just had our beautiful custom home completed in Frankfort, Illinois by Gander Builders, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The entire process was smooth from start to finish—a refreshing surprise considering all the horror stories you hear about builders going over budget or missing deadlines. Gander delivered our home ahead of schedule to get our kids in ahead of the school year start.
Their team was incredibly responsive, attentive, and accommodating to our wants and needs. Even when we had some “out there” ideas, they guided us thoughtfully while still making sure our vision came to life. Now that we’re moved in, I can confidently say they exceeded every expectation. The craftsmanship and quality are top-notch—no corners were cut, and every detail was handled with care.
If you’re looking for a family-owned business that provides true white-glove service and uncompromising quality, Gander Builders is the one. We not only ended up with a dream home, but also gained friends in the process. We’re so excited to now call them neighbors and to be part of the wonderful Frankfort community.
Highly, highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with Gander, being Jarrett, Sue and Steve throughout the process. From the design phase and bringing new and fresh ideas, to pushing us to consider features we may not have contemplated, to providing constructive feedback to the process, it could not have gone better. Jarrett did an outstanding job keeping our timeline on track and navigating the inevitable items that come up during any construction. Sue did great work in helping us choose selections that make our home feel like our home and Steve was there to help us whenever we needed him to step in or had a question. Thanks again to them for helping us build our dream home!

If you are looking to build a new home, or renovate existing home, there’s no need to look any further than Gander Builders. Not only are they great to work with, but their craftsmanship and attention to the smallest of details is incredible as well.
My wife and I came across Gander Builders simply by riding around town and looking at houses. We noticed all the houses that we thought were absolutely beautiful turned out to be built by the same construction company!
When Steve and his team came in to finish our renovation project, we immediately clicked. Their level of communication were refreshing to say the least. The expertise and ideas they brought to the table. We’re also game changing for us. We love quality higher end finishes, and after showing Steve a few examples of what we are looking to accomplish, they took that and turned the final product into something beautiful.
We have a much bigger plans for our home over the next few years and we look forward to working with Gander, Steve and his team again!

Jarret and the team are super professional. They are the best homebuilders in Frankfort. They are very patient, professional, and problem-solvers. I highly recommend.

We had the good fortune to work with Steve, Sue and Jarrett and came away beyond impressed. They helped us take a sketch and turn it into the home of our dreams.
They're upfront, ethical, honest, creative and go above and beyond to exceed expectations. By going with Gander we got far more than a General Contractor - we got a family we could trust that was dedicated to what they do and a true partnership throughout the process - and in our case we feel we walked away with a lasting friendship! Our project was On Time, On Budget and couldn't be happier with the finished product.

Working with Steve, Sue and Jarrett was an absolute joy. From design to conception, the process was just great and while a lot of people think the process of building is stressful, we truly enjoyed it! Their ideas and vision were just remarkable and if you just trust the process, the outcome will blow you away! I would never go with anyone else and would never entertain the thought. The best part about the process is developing a friendship with the Lecas family that will last a lifetime!

For years I had been thinking about build a garage that looked more like a carriage house. After almost two years of research and talking to a few builders, I finally met Steve and was instantly comfortable that he would bring my vision to life. Not only was Steve able to bring it to life, but his own vision and guidance helped me to build a beautiful garage that very much took on the personality of a carriage house , just as I had imagined it and even better. Many of my neighbors have commented on how beautiful it is, and some even asking what it was since it very much looks like a small premium home versus a garage. This is exactly how I had imagined it and I am confident all other builders I had spoken with would not have been able to deliver the way Gander did.
Steve and Jarrett took on the project just as the COVID lock downs started and while that offered unique challenges in labor, materials and coordination, Steve and Jarrett managed the project and never compromised the quality of the final product. I am confident most other builders would have let me down, not Gander, I am very pleased with the outcome and how they handled the project from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone building a garage, home or other dwelling if you want a quality job at a fair and honest price.
These guys are great!

I built a house with Gander Builders and moved in a little over a year ago. Now I am sheltering at home in my new house!! All I can say is that I love my house!! I love every single detail and I love it more every day and I owe it all to Steve and Sue who helped me through every single phase and every single day of this project.
Steve is one of the hardest working people I know. He is extremely talented, has phenomenal subs, is there every second and is available at all times. He listens and then responds with exactly what u want. He is exceptionally creative and I’ve never met someone who took that kind of pride in his work. Not once during the 2 year project did I get angry, frustrated or upset. The entire project was a blast. They just make it so easy for you - and never in my wildest dreams did I think this house would turn out as beautiful as it did.
Sue is the designer and she comes with the deal which was truly a godsend. She was with me as I picked out every single doorknob, cabinet and tile. I didn’t have to choose anything without her guidance and Sue has the ability to understand your taste and guide you in your own direction. She also understands your budget and is incredibly helpful in staying within that budget. Finally, Sue is a sweetheart and we had so much fun becoming friends while we worked together.
In conclusion, whomever is lucky enough to get Gander Builders to build your house has hit the jackpot. It’s impossible to explain all the intangibles that come with using their company but trust me that it was a fantastic decision!!
