What Our Clients Say

I highly recommend Gary Zarra! After interviewing 9 contractors I fortunately decided to hire Gary. Top quality work, easy to communicate with and extremely trustworthy- 5 stars

Me and my wife were more comfortable buying a house and a very competitive and difficult market such as Greenwich, CT where everything is super expensive, houses need a lot of work and not able to find the perfect house. We met Gary from Zarra Development. His experience, knowledge and track record gave us the comfort to go ahead to buy a house and to perform all the needed work based on our needs and lifestyle.

Gary is very respectful and responsible about times, deadlines, his workers and suppliers have the best attitude, everyone is always looking after us to give us comfort in this process, making sure things are happening for us and we stay under budget.

We love working with Gary. Great to have him around and I’m sure any future housework needed, Gary is my first call to get it right at once, at the correct price and time.

We highly recommend Gary from Zarra Development for any house related project.

Gary is the type of contractor you dream about but are not sure is real.  His guidance as we went through finishing a basement helped us develop a design that we loved, and he was also able to make all of our ideas reality.  His team was comprised of consummate, friendly professionals, the work was finished in a timely matter, and we didn’t have any cost surprises along the way. We strongly recommend him.

Working with Gary Zarra was one of the best decisions we made in bringing our new home to life. From our very first meeting through to final completion, Gary demonstrated an exceptional level of business acumen, professionalism, and integrity that gave us complete confidence every step of the way.

His knowledge of construction and design is both deep and wide-ranging. He anticipated challenges before they arose, presented clear and practical solutions, and maintained a steady focus on quality without ever losing sight of budget and timeline. His experience was obvious in how seamlessly the entire process was managed.

What stood out to me most was Gary’s responsiveness. Calls and texts were returned promptly, questions were answered thoroughly, and no concern was ever dismissed. We always felt informed, and respected. That level of communication made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and even enjoyable.

Beyond his technical expertise, Gary’s character sets him apart. He is truly a class act and operates with complete transparency and honesty. Trust is everything when building a home, and he earned ours fully.

Our home was delivered with outstanding quality and attention to detail, on schedule, and with no surprises. We are incredibly grateful for Gary’s leadership, dedication, and craftsmanship. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking a builder who combines skill, experience, business intelligence, and unwavering integrity.

I first met Gary Zarra in January, 2015 when I called him at F.zarra Flooring to refinish a hardwood floor in my home that had been badly damaged. I cannot describe what a wonderful experience I had. Gary not only did a phenomenal and professional job on my floor, he took extreme care with my home and ensured that everything was protected in the process. His demeanor and good humor put me at ease throughout the process.

I kept in touch with Gary since that first project and in 2021, when I needed to do a major renovation to my home, he was the first and only person that I called to do the work.

Gary’s level of professional, commitment, execution and caring is above and beyond anyone I have every hired or worked with. He is present throughout the project.

I am looking forward to working with Gary again as he begins his new business, Zarra Development LLC.

There is really not a person I would trust more than Gary to work in my home as he always gets the work done in a timely manner and it usually comes out better than expected.

We had a terrific experience working with Gary and his team from start to finish. They were punctual, professional, and delivered exactly what they promised. The project was completed on schedule, communication was clear throughout, and the quality of the work met - and exceeded - our expectations.

It's rare to find a team that combines reliability, craftsmanship, and integrity so seamlessly. I would not hesitate to recommend them and look forward to working together again in the future.
