Founder of Gehman Design Remodeling, Dennis Gehman brings over 30 years experience in the construction industry. When you meet him, you'll instantly feel welcomed, respected, and understood. You'll connect with him immediately. Humble and mild-mannered, Dennis focuses on the big picture as well as the small details on how to best serve you.
As GDR's President, Dennis's role requires him to wear many hats. As a Remodeling Consultant, he listens closely to your needs, wants, and ideas to translate, through his design and construction experience, into a project that will meet or exceed your expectations. While ultimately the buck stops with Dennis, he's grateful for the team members who do an excellent job in handling things so that projects can continue without needing to wait for him.
Working at GDR is an absolute joy for Dennis as he enjoys interacting with clients working with the experience of our team to achieve the goals for each project. As GDR continues to embrace its "green" journey, so is Dennis. While some are going green for the cost-saving and environment-preserving benefits, Dennis believes this way of life is simply a way to show his gratitude toward being on this earth. "To me, being green reminds me of how God has blessed us with a beautiful earth to live on and take care of. The least I can do as part of my worship to Him is to be a good steward of what I have control over."
Dennis is the husband of wife Glenda, proud father of grown sons Elijah and Aaron and daughters Kaela and Teesha. He is a charter member of Bucks Mont NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
