Houzz Review
"I've been working with Girsh Development since 1995 and believe they are one of the best Developers and general contractors we've worked with. Part of the challenge of going into a construction project or buying a design-built house is committing to a relationship with a Developer. It's a leap of faith to trust them with your vision, budget, schedule, and with attention to quality. Mark tactfully delivers projects of exceptional quality while staying on schedule and under budget. We hope to work with Mark and his team again and again and again."

"I am very happy to work with Mark, Girsh Development Inc. Mark is honest and and upstanding individual when it comes to his work. Mark has stood by his work time and time again, and the best thing is that we still get to see each other from time to time to reconnect and talk about future projects and just life in general. I could not have asked for a better person to help me along with this process."

"Highly recommend working with Mark and his team at Girsh Development. He is extremely honest, experienced, and knowledgeable in the home building process from vision and design all the way to the moment you get the keys to your new home. Our project was perfectly managed from start to finish with excellent communication and attention to the smallest details throughout. Mark was always there to answer questions, discuss possible changes, or potential of any scheduling issues. He is upfront, insightful and most importantly, he is very trustworthy. Could not be happier with the decision we made to work with Girsh Development for out new home construction project. Thank you, Mark!!!"

Houzz Review
Girsh Development was a 10 out of 10 for us. We contracted with Mark Girsh to rebuild our home after a fire completely destroyed our original house. Mark was sympathetic, personable and easy to deal with. He educated us through the whole building process, something that was very important to us.

Mark's number one priority was customer satisfaction; he allowed us to customize the house the whole way through. Mark included his dad, Leonard, in the building of our house and both were very accessible throughout the entire process. They dealt with all construction issues very quickly and openly. They were able to "roll with the punches" that we threw at them or that the construction process threw at them.

Most importantly, Mark was very transparent throughout the entire process. There were no surprise costs along the way. Mark-ups on change orders were more than fair.

It is highly evident that Mark Girsh prides himself on building a top quality end product and that is what he did for us. We would use Girsh Development again in a heartbeat to build our home.

"A year ago , We chose Girsh development Inc to complete building my home from ground up. We had a time constraint to build it within a year, which was a great risk, Girish development completed the project well ahead of time.

We could not have asked for a better quality of work than this. We are completely happy with the workmanship and the quality of workers that Mark brought in to complete the work. At every stage of the work , Mark consulted with us and was more than glad to do any change request.

We greatly commend his project execution in a effective way. He will be on top of things until things fell in place. The house that he built for us is elegant and beautiful.

Overall, we had a great experience working with Mark Girsh and Mr. Leonard. We would strongly recommend them for any home building projects."

"We bought a house in Point Breeze, Philadelphia built by Mark and his father/partner Leonard. We are extremely happy with our purchase. They have used the high quality materials and the finishes are very modern and aesthetically pleasing. The house has been thoughtfully designed and every small detail has been paid attention to. Mark and Leonard have been extremely proactive with the few small issues that we wanted fixed. We highly recommend them for any project - big or small."

"Girsh Development built a contemporary home of my design for a client in southern NJ. This project is on display in their portfolio here on Houzz. They took the non-traditional design in stride, and had no problem rising to the challenge of the work. Girsh was professional throughout the project and brought a solution oriented problem solving motivation to any of the issues encountered. They were good with followup and left my client satisfied. And the quality of the work stands out above his peers. I'd be happy to work with them again."

"It was a pleasure working with Girsh Development. They understood our vision and the project requirements and executed it in the very difficult economic environment of 2011-12. They worked with us to come up with creative solutions to meet my design requirements of modern/minimalist styling. They definitely went way beyond the call of duty to deliver a great end product."

"Mark built our custom home for us as if it were his own. His level of patience and attention to detail is well above and beyond in this industry. Throughout the process he was always very responsive to our phone calls. He was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him for any home building or structural remodeling needs you have."

Houzz Review
"Mark Girsh was the General Contractor on our build of a custom designed modern house in Princeton, NJ. There are a few reasons I would recommend him highly as a GC. 1) He's honest. After the build he stood by his warranty and was there for 5 years as we ironed out any issues we had. 2) He's reasonably priced. There are some firms which will underprice the project and then increase the price with change orders. He did not do that. His pricing was reasonable at the beginning and stayed that way. 3) He's good at what he does. We had a problem with a sub-contractor who custom-made a stainless steel railing showcased in our great room. Mark took care of it. He's got initiative, doesn't make excuses and does what he says he'll do. For all these reasons, I could not recommend a GC more highly."
