Thu, 01 Jun 2023 13:34:53 GMT

About G Contracting LLC:

G Contracting was created by Jonathan Gerancher in March of 2012 with the idea that home remodeling could be a process-driven endeavor that prioritizes the customer experience. Jonathan's involvement in the remodeling industry began during his formative years, working alongside his father, Julius, in his company J.G. Plastering. This experience fostered his passion for home remodeling and inspired him to establish a remodeling company with similar values and commitment to the client experience. As J.G Plastering was moving towards retirement, Jonathan brought his father Julius, and his sister Jamie Angelus in as partners along with his long-time friend and trade partner Jim Zane of Jim Zane Carpentry. Their first objective was to establish a one-stop shop that offers an exceptional customer experience from beginning to end. The second objective was to ensure continuous growth. Whether it’s their team, training, processes, newly redesigned showroom, or the materials they offer, they are dedicated to constant improvement. While Version 1 of the process was great, after 11 years, countless revisions, and ongoing improvements, we can confidently say that the customer experience provided at G Contracting has reached an unparalleled level.

At G Contracting, we utilize open communication and transparency to build lasting relationships. We value input and actively involve vendors and clients in every step of the remodeling process. All our team members are always available to address questions, provide guidance, and listen to ideas. We understand that home remodeling is a significant investment, and our clients feel confident and informed throughout the entire journey.

Jonathan’s commitment to enhancing the customer experience has led G Contracting to develop innovative strategies for our remodeling projects. We continuously evaluate industry trends and adopt best practices to ensure our clients receive top-notch service. From utilizing cutting-edge design software to employing highly skilled craftsmen, we strive to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results. Our goal is to create spaces that meet the needs and surpass the expectations of our clients. It is our steadfast commitment to our company goals and values that keep G Contracting at the forefront of the Lehigh Valley home remodeling industry.
