Why Choose Gort Custom Home Builders?

Our mission is to build homes of exceptional value at an affordable cost. Our goal is not to be the biggest, just the very best at what we do. This is our passion, our pleasure, and our promise to you.

Gort Custom Home Builders may be a small company, but we feel this is an advantage because it helps us create a more intimate and personal relationship with our clients. Our customers get our undivided attention. This enables us to run our projects more efficiently and maintain better quality control. By running a smaller company, Gerry has developed a great relationship with local trade partners who have wonderful showrooms where you can see, touch, and compare the items that you wish to include in your home.

As the plans for your home are being developed, Gerry will discuss the construction details with the actual tradespeople who will perform the work. This allows him to create details that add great design aspects but are practical and cost-efficient to construct. Every Gort Custom Home is guided by the hands-on supervision of owner Gerry Neilan. Gerry works so closely with his clients that he provides them with his direct cell phone number (708) 601-4678. He is available to address any concerns or questions the trade contractors or homeowners may have pertaining to the construction.

At Gort Custom Home Builders, we take our time preparing the project and planning with the client and those who are going to be involved in the building process before construction actually begins. Being fully prepared before construction begins reduces confusion or any miscommunication that may occur during construction. It also helps prevent mistakes in order to ensure clients are satisfied with the project that they imagined. We create 20-plus pages of a very specific set of construction specifications for each home. This is included as part of the contract to protect both parties, and to ensure that the specific details the client wishes are included during the construction of the home.
