job was completed as promised and done quickly.

Excellent, Jerry an crew are the greatest ! A little on the expensive side of things, but with that said QUALITY comes with a price! In my opinion they are the BEST in the BUSINESS hands down! I have another project for the company in May, they will be installing a concrete patio.

It wasn't for me, it was for somebody else. But, they seemed very good. The quote was thorough and well done. It took them just a day to get the quote.

I submitted a request online to be contacted for a quote. A Mark did leave me a message suggesting two dates that he could stop by the property. I called back and requested a different date, never received a call back. Left another message no call back. Done with this now, will move on to another company.

We're very pleased with the results. Seth and the other three members of his crew were very professional and all of them were hard workers. They answered our questions and provided good advice. The quality of their work is outstanding! We had hoped that they would be able to do the work this year before winter sets in, and indeed they were able to complete the job for us. We would definitely hire all of them again.

I knew I had an issue with my garage apron but wasn't sure how bad it was. I called Gardner Construction to arrange for someone to come out and ***** the situation and provide an estimate. Jerry stopped out within a couple of days. Jerry explained that some of the blocks were decaying and that this is a common occurrence. He explained that they would remove the apron, clean out the damaged blocks, repair the damage, and then pour a new apron. He was able to schedule me within a couple of weeks. He arrived to do the work as scheduled with a crew of 5 or 6 guys. The entire crew was friendly and professional. Everyone had their job and they worked very quickly. Within an hour and a half they had removed the old apron and also removed a portion of the asphalt driveway (I was putting in a larger apron than what I previously had). The next morning they quickly had the forms built and concrete poured. They cleaned everything up and swept the driveway when they were done. If I need concrete work done in the future, Gardner will be my first call.

Great - Was the best price and showed up on time and finished the work that day. Dug below grade, put in wire mesh and concrete and refilled trench.

I had an issue with water leaking into a bedroom in my basement after heavy rainfall. I received an estimate from one contractor and called to scheduled appointments with several other contractors, everyone was booked a week or two out. I called Gardner and they were able to come out the same evening to provide an estimate. Jerry was very knowledgeable and provided several options for me that would solve my problem and was open to whatever I decided. Gardner happen to have a cancellation for the next day so I decided to choose them and cancelled the other estimates I had scheduled. The day the work was being done, I received a call from Jerry with the approximate time they would be over. The crew showed up on time, were extremely professional and hard working. They were done in about 3 1/2 hours. Jerry showed me the work that was completed and an area of concern. The water had damaged some drywall that I would need to replace. They pulled off the drywall for me and put up plastic to cover up the area. They cleaned everything up very well in the front lawn and the bedroom. They also cleaned out one of my gutters which was an added bonus! You could not tell that any work was done that day. They were careful with pulling back my carpet as to not rip the carpet pad and Jerry also instructed me on how I should put the carpet back. I had such a great experience with Gardner Construction that I have already recommended them to others! My basement bedroom has been dry ever since even after several heavy rainfalls.

The repair went very well. Got an estimate Sat., Aug. 13. The work was done and completed on Mon., Aug. 15. Gardner Construction was very friendly and responsive. I didn't expect to have the work done that quickly, but things worked out well.

Seth and the team did an excellent job. From showing up on time, getting the the job done right and keeping me informed of the progress and what they were finding.

I worked with Jerry and he was extremely responsive and patient with my many questions/clarifications.  Their prices were actually slightly higher than some others I received estimates from, but I felt more comfortable with his approach....more matter of fact, experience based, flexible...not trying to "hard sell" me like some of the representatives from other companies.   They did what I would have thought would be a full day+ job in 5 hours...he has perfected an efficient process/team.    Clean up was excellent, he showed me the status at a few points in the project.  I feel confident in their work and would highly recommend to others.

Called a different provider first, who did not bother to call me back.  As a side note, that's becoming a major irritation across all manner of small businesses.
Called Gardner Construction and left a message.  Leanne called me back a day or so later (they had been out of town).  I explained the problem and she arranged for Jerry to stop by on the following Saturday to take a look, which he did.  He explained why the problem had occurred and how it would be fixed.  I got the quote at that point. 
Since it was January in Minnesota, Jerry told me we would have to wait until a relatively warm day to do the job.  A week or so later, he called me to say that the coming Thursday was forecast to be warm enough to get the job done.  It was nice to see this level of proactivity.  On Thursday as arranged, two of his crew arrived and did the whole thing.  My wife told me that they were very pleasant people.
I'm in the process of selling and it was really important to me to get this repair done as soon as possible.  Jerry Gardner and his team enabled that to happen.  I recommend them.

I found Gardner Construction on Angie's List to get a second opinion on a problem of some water that was seeping up through my basement floor, since the first contractor's estimate was to have a drain tile & sump pump put in at the tune of $2,340. To their credit, Gardner Construction was able to come within a day or two. The person said that, since where the water was coming in was right near the chimney, he was absolutely POSITIVE that the water was coming down through the chimney & out at the bottom of the chimney & that I needed to find a mason to fix the chimney. It turned out that that wasn't the problem at all (after paying a chimney mason a lot of money-probably didn't hurt to have that done but maybe not necessary). The problem I eventually discovered was a leaking water pipe under the basement floor that led from the kitchen sink & connected to the main water line. I discovered this myself by not using the kitchen sink for a couple of days to see if the water dried up. It did so I figured that was the problem. I then called a plumber who confirmed it by digging down below the basement floor where the water was seeping up & discovered the leaking pipe. So both Gardner Construction and Standard Water Control Systems, Inc. were totally OFF THE MARK as to the source of the water problem & I would NOT recommend either of them, as they did not do due diligence to find the correct solution to the problem & thought they knew the solution immediately, without further investigation.

I had an excellent experience working with Gardner Construction. I am looking to remodel my basement, but have had small amounts of water in a couple of spots that I wanted resolved prior to doing any finishing. I called Gardner Construction, and LeAnn was very helpful in setting up a time to get the estimate. They were able to come to my home the next day. I had asked them to evaluate for drainage tile, but Rob informed me that landscape grading outside the house would likely improve the drainage and fix the problem without having to do anything inside. I thought his estimate was very reasonable. He also priced out replacing some basement windows. I am waiting on the windows for other reasons, but decided to go with Gardner for the landscape grading. They gave me the estimate on a Friday and had the work completed the next Tuesday. I had some rock and stepping stones in the beds along the side of the house, and they replaced those carefully, actually improving the look of my landscaping. They left the yard completely clean.

After getting the bid, we were told there would be a wait of a couple weeks. Got a call back a couple days later saying they could start the next day. Guys showed up and worked very quickly removing, fixing and replacing the concrete. It was loud, messy work, but that was to be expected. When they were done with the major concrete work the driveway looked great, but removing the steps had caused cracks in the block wall.
When the worker came to replace the basement windows, he also fixed cracks between the blocks (and an additional hole) in the wall. Windows also looked very nice.
Communication was straightforward and professional - sent invoices via email. I would recommend Gardner Construction.

-It was a superb job, from start to finish.  I was concerned about it's efficacy, because what we anticipated as footings were not found.  However, one full seaon later, I can say that the majority of the problem surrounding parking lot run-off has been solved. I booked this job 6 months in advance, so plan ahead.  I highly recommend this provider.
