Our History

Founded

A Straightforward Goal

Gerber Construction was founded in 1958 by Russell E. Gerber with a straightforward goal: build quality work and stand behind it.

From its base in Reed City, Michigan, the company grew through consistency — delivering projects reliably, building strong relationships, and earning repeat business across the region.

Third Generation Leadership

In 2014, ownership transitioned to Jill and Bill Terryn, marking the beginning of Gerber's next chapter.

Under their leadership, the company has evolved into a multi-division operation with expanded capabilities in concrete, underground utilities, and trucking — giving Gerber greater control over how projects are planned, coordinated, and delivered.
