Gerber Homes may be a good fit for people who want to build a custom home with an experienced partner from early planning through construction.
That may mean building on land you already own, evaluating a property before you buy it, finding the right homesite, or building in a Gerber community. It may also mean starting with a Gerber floor plan and personalizing it around the way you want to live.
If you want meaningful customization, local building experience, and guidance through the decisions that connect your land, home design, and construction process, Gerber may be the right fit for your project.

If that sounds like the kind of building experience you want in the Finger Lakes region, Gerber Homes may be a strong fit.
Gerber Homes may not be the right fit if you are looking for remodeling or want a home with very limited choices or customization.
Gerber is better suited to buyers who want to build a new home with more flexibility, personalization, and builder involvement throughout the process.
No, you do not need to own land before contacting Gerber Homes. Gerber works with buyers who already own property, are considering a lot, are still looking for land, or want to build in a Gerber community.

Grading, utilities, access, setbacks, site preparation, and home placement can all affect the project.

Talking through the kind of home you want, where you want to live, and what matters most to you can help focus your homesite search.
You can also build in one of Gerber’s new-home communities, depending on current homesite availability.
This can be a good option if you prefer an established neighborhood setting rather than searching for private land on your own.
Explore Gerber communities →Yes, Gerber Homes can customize your home whether you start with an existing Gerber floor plan or bring your own ideas for how you want the home to look and function.
Customization can include changes to the floor plan, kitchens and bathrooms, finishes, exterior details, storage, and other features that make the home work better for your property and lifestyle.
If you already have inspiration, sketches, wish lists, or floor-plan ideas, bring them to the conversation. Gerber can help shape those ideas into a home that makes sense for the way you want to live.
