“Your small contracts group built a new garage for us and it is appropriate to record our enormous satisfaction with both the end product and the manner in which it was achieved. The site presented its difficulties (some impossible to forsee) and your team battled against unbelievably wet and unpleasant conditions.”

Just a message to say thank you all sooo much for making the process of buying my first home so smooth and stress free. The service from start to finish was second to none & the finishings to the property are exceptional and better than I ever imagined. The hamper was a lovely touch for moving in day and the manual has been so helpful to say the least. I couldn’t recommend GS Brown enough.
C. Maclellan
From starting the process of purchasing the house, to getting the keys on the entry date, I found everyone I met along the way to be very pleasant and really, really helpful and knowledgeable. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending a GS Brown Home. They are absolutely stunning inside and outside.
