Joseph Salerno2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we first met Leonard and Mark, they took us to some of the homes that they had built previously. One of these homeowners joyfully hugged Mark after she opened the door. Because of the difficult experiences I had heard from others who had custom homes built, I whispered to my wife, "If we are even shaking hands with him after this is all over then we will have done well." Now, more than twenty years later, we still hug Leonard and Mark not only for the wonderful home they built for our family but for our dear friendship. From Girsh Development you can expect more than a home of high quality. You will get partners who are always fair, honest, and determined to do the best they can for you.
