It has been quite a year for the home building industry, but those remaining are stronger and ready to make dreams happen. We have made sacrifices in our business but we have gotten through the economic wave.

Gerstad Builders, known for building McHenry County new homes, remains a strong presence in each of our four communities — Liberty Trails, Dawson Creek, Pheasant Ridge and Bailey Estates.

We are now introducing new home designs, affordable pricing and features relevant to the needs of today’s families.  Our homes still ensure quality and energy efficiency for an investment in your future.   Financing is available for qualified buyers through reputable mortgage lenders that work with Gerstad Builders to assure the low rates are available to our homeowners.

Our new Stimulus Series ranch and two-story plans, range from 1,292 to 2,030 square feet, are designed to be attractive to first-time homebuyers.  Currently these more affordable, value enhanced homes are base priced from the $180,000s to the low $200,000s.  All of these new plans feature luxury amenities: furniture-quality cabinetry, General Electric appliance package (stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and range hood), Kohler bathroom fixtures & faucets, and a one year warranty program.

Visit our professionally decorated models in Pheasant Ridge, Dawson Creek and Bailey Estates, which are available for immediate occupancy.   Additional model homes are available in Liberty Trails for viewing.   All models are open Saturday and Sunday from noon to five and Liberty Trails is also open for viewing Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
