Looking for a trusted design build contractor in Newark, NY? GEM Remodeling is a veteran-owned, full-service design-build firm serving Newark and the greater Rochester, NY area. With our in-house designer Gordon Hull — who brings 27+ years of real design and remodeling experience — GEM delivers a seamless process from initial concept through final construction.

What Is Design-Build?

Design-build combines architectural design and construction under one roof. Instead of hiring a separate designer, architect, and contractor — and managing the communication between them — you work with one team from start to finish. At GEM Remodeling, that means Gordon Hull designs your project with mood boards, 3D renderings, and photo-realistic visual walk-throughs, and our veteran-led construction team builds it. One point of contact. One vision. No miscommunication.
