JR Gimler Construction & Landscaping
Building homes and developments on the Texas Coast.
We live here, build homes here, and specialize in the creation of custom homes and developments. Our standard features are often upgrades with other builders. And we build value into the home from the very beginning. We take great pride in the many details that we offer in our homes. Of course, quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service are always part of the package.
We would be pleased to have the opportunity to meet with you and your family and discuss the homebuilding process. We will gladly provide you with ideas, suggestions, and recommendations that we've gathered from our over 15 years of experience as a homebuilder. And when you are ready to make a decision on choosing a builder, we would be honored to build your new home - whether it is your primary residence, a second home, or a vacation home.
Commerical Projects
JR Gimler works with commerial enterprises as well. One of his recent projects was McGarrah Jessee Building project.
From the article in Texas Architect in the 3/4 2011 issue - "McJ re-established its base of operations in a former bank building, a midcentury treasure that had fallen on hard times. … Until recently, the Starr Building was in dire straits, having endured years of rough handling by previous occupants who crammed dozens of cubicles into its marble-columned piano nobile and sullied its crystalline street facade with dark gray window film. … "
JR Gimler Construction was named as one of the contractors and suppliers for the extensive "… plan to salvage the best elements of the Starr Building while adapting the former bank lobby to complement McJ's free-spirited creative culture."

Do your homework before having work done on your home.
- Does the builder or remodeler have a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers?
- How long have they been in the building business? It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. Will they be around after the construction is complete to service any warranties?
- Have you called your local Better Business Bureau? They can alert you to any complaints.
- Will the builder/remodeler provide you with names of previous customers? Ask them if they would hire the builder/remodeler again.
- Have you seen the builder/remodelers work, both completed and in progress? Check for quality of workmanship and materials.
- Are you able to communicate with the builder/remodeler? Remember you will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process and afterward as you live in your new home.
- Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the builder/remodeler is unable to pay for the materials and labor as the project proceeds, this may indicate a potential problem.
