Meet Our Team

GARY CARLSON

Gary’s enthusiasm for building has never waned. From a teen working in the family business in Nebraska until today, you can tell he loves his work…and his clients love him! His professionalism and experience in construction stem from solid training under the cultivation of two master craftsmen, his father and grandfather.

Serving in the Nebraska National Guard was his only venture away from construction. Upon completion of a six-year term of service, he returned to Nebraska to join his father and brother in the family company. When Naples became his new home, Gary distinguished himself within the community with many years of dedicated service and contributions to charitable and civic associations.

Gary’s primary focus is now on business development and customer satisfaction. He maintains close and long-standing relationships with past clients and has assembled highly-qualified people to ensure the client’s confidence and satisfaction.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear from Our Satisfied Clients

Our association with Carlson Harris spans over many years. Some of the projects were small, some moderately large, and the last project consisted of a 21,400-square-foot office building construction. Each and every one of the projects were pleasant experiences beginning with the planning, actual construction, and servicing thereafter. They were always pleasant, professional, and timely. Should we have the need for services in the construction field again, I would feel confident to obtain their services and recommend them to my friends. —Adam Fueredi, M.D., FACR

To Whom it May Concern: I am writing to you regarding Carlson Harris General Contractors, Inc. They worked on an extensive and complicated renovation and addition to our home in Naples, Florida in 2008-2009. The were wonderful to work with and have taken good care of us ever since. They delivered on time, the quality of workmanship was extremely high, and they managed the project with care and attention to detail and were always available and open to discuss changes along the way. At the end of the project we were good friends and not everyone can say that! I would highly recommend Carlson Harris without hesitation or reservation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. —Bonnie Larson

There are undoubtedly a number of good contractors in Naples, but your team must head the list. If someone is looking for a quality construction job with a company who is willing to pay attention to detail, they should certainly consider Carlson Harris…..In total a great job was done in selecting contractors, but more importantly your team kept them responsive to their obligations. We also appreciated how your team worked so effectively with the architect, landscape architect and designer to give us a home we are very proud of and enjoy more each day. Please extend our thanks to the whole team. Such a good job was done, I doubt we will have a desire to build another home soon, but if we do you can be sure we will call on Carlson Harris. —Joanne L. Halstead
