Our Home Builder Story

Leonard Girsh migrated to the USA, determined to live the American dream. Part of that ambition was to leverage his skills to build high-quality homes. He settled around Yardley, PA, and went to work building a professional, reliable home design and building company in central New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His son, Mark, admired his Dad’s work ethic and uncompromising commitment to quality. As a kid, he worked on his dad’s sites in the summers, fascinated by the process of bringing homes from paper to reality. He absorbed his Dad’s attention to detail and meticulous thought process. Today he brings those years of insights to continue the family business.

Decades later, Leonard and Mark remain passionate about home design and construction. Their favorite part is still the new owner’s look of joy when seeing the finished homes for the first time.

See what our clients have to say about us:

"Mark Girsh was the General Contractor on our build of a custom designed modern house in Princeton, NJ. There are a few reasons I would recommend him highly as a GC. 1) He's honest. After the build he stood by his warranty and was there for 5 years as we ironed out any issues we had. 2) He's reasonably priced. There are some firms which will underprice the project and then increase the price with change orders. He did not do that. His pricing was reasonable at the beginning and stayed that way. 3) He's good at what he does. We had a problem with a sub-contractor who custom-made a stainless steel railing showcased in our great room. Mark took care of it. He's got initiative, doesn't make excuses and does what he says he'll do. For all these reasons, I could not recommend a GC more highly."

Houzz Review

"We bought a house in Point Breeze, Philadelphia built by Mark and his father/partner Leonard. We are extremely happy with our purchase. They have used the high quality materials and the finishes are very modern and aesthetically pleasing. The house has been thoughtfully designed and every small detail has been paid attention to. Mark and Leonard have been extremely proactive with the few small issues that we wanted fixed. We highly recommend them for any project - big or small."

Houzz Review

"Girsh Development built a contemporary home of my design for a client in southern NJ. This project is on display in their portfolio here on Houzz. They took the non-traditional design in stride, and had no problem rising to the challenge of the work. Girsh was professional throughout the project and brought a solution oriented problem solving motivation to any of the issues encountered. They were good with followup and left my client satisfied. And the quality of the work stands out above his peers. I'd be happy to work with them again."

Houzz Review

"It was a pleasure working with Girsh Development. They understood our vision and the project requirements and executed it in the very difficult economic environment of 2011-12. They worked with us to come up with creative solutions to meet my design requirements of modern/minimalist styling. They definitely went way beyond the call of duty to deliver a great end product."
