Gary Cerek

Gary has been active in residential remodeling for over 25 years. The son of a carpenter, he has been on construction sites from an early age, learning all he could about the art of fine carpentry and designing and renovating all types of homes.

Subsequent to studying Construction Management and Architecture in college, Gary began his own home remodeling company that specialized in custom renovations ranging from cabinetry to whole house renovations and room additions. After twelve years of working on his own, he decided to hang up his "nail apron" to become a designer for a design/ build firm specializing in custom home renovations.

Gary has been a proud member of the Normandy design team since 2008, comfortable in the knowledge that his professional values are aligned with Normandy’s: When you do what is best for your client and follow the project through from start to finish, the home renovation process can and will be rewarding for everyone involved.
