Four Generations Deep

Four Generations of Concrete Expertise. One Name You Can Trust.

Gardner Construction was founded in 1996 by brothers Jerry and Rob Gardner after years of working alongside their father in the concrete trade. Over the next three decades, they built something most contractors never do: a company with a reputation so solid, the same homeowners keep calling back.

Today, Gardner is employee-owned, meaning the people doing your work have a real stake in doing it right. When we walk your home and tell you what's wrong, we're not guessing — we've repaired it hundreds of times with our own hands.

"We didn't build 75 years of repeat customers by selling something they don't need, and it's not how we plan to earn the next 75 years worth."

Common Questions From Twin Cities Homeowners

Honest answer: some foundation issues are serious and need immediate attention. Others are cosmetic and can wait. Our estimators will tell you which is which — and if you don't need work done right now, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather earn your trust than your invoice.
All three. Gardner handles the full picture — foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and concrete installation and repair (driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, and more). Most homeowners need us for the foundation or waterproofing first and come back for the concrete.
100% local. We're based in Bloomington, MN and have been serving the Twin Cities since 1949. We're entirely employee-owned, not a franchise, and you'll see the same dedicated crews on each and every project.
One of our experienced estimators comes to your home, walks through the problem with you, and gives you a written scope and price — no pressure, no limited-time tactics. You'll understand exactly what we're recommending and why.
Foundation repair and basement waterproofing: yes, year-round. Concrete flatwork (driveways, patios, sidewalks): seasonal, typically May through November due to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycle.
