			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Our Story</strong> begins when our father Martin Schmid emigrated from Germany to the United States in the early 1960’s. He soon began providing carpentry and remodeling services to builders and residents in Mahopac and surrounding areas. He brought with him from <a href="http://www.gands-contracting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08//marty2.jpg" rel="lightbox[353]"><img class="size-full wp-image-596 alignleft" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 10px;" marty" src="http://www.gands-contracting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08//marty2.jpg" alt="marty" width="175" height="333" /></a>Germany a strong work ethic and an unwavering attention to detail. Marty believed if something is to be done it should be done right!</p>
<p>And those values are something that he has passed on to us. As soon as we could swing a hammer we began working along side our father and continued learning from him throughout the years. Although we no longer have our father with us we have his legacy and we are pleased to be providing the same level of service to our customers that he would expect.</p>
<p>We would be pleased to work with you on your upcoming projects and you can be sure that we will treat your home as we would our own. We will work hard to make sure that your project goals are accomplished whether a complete remodel or a simple window replacement.   <a href="http://www.gands-contracting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08//greggandglen11.jpg" rel="lightbox[353]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-600" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 10px;" greggandglen" src="http://www.gands-contracting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08//greggandglen11-300x236.jpg" alt="greggandglen" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
