Some dreams start early, and for Gary Zygmont, the founder of Urban Home Builders, that dream took hold at just eight years old. “When I was 8, I proclaimed I was gonna be a builder, and it never changed,” Gary recalls. His unwavering commitment to this childhood vision shaped not only his life but also the lives of countless families who now reside in homes crafted with his meticulous attention to detail.
Gary’s passion for construction grew with him, steering every decision he made. By the time he reached high school, he was already gaining hands-on experience through summer construction jobs. After graduating, Gary took his dedication to the next level by completing an 8,000-hour apprenticeship. This rigorous program immersed him in every aspect of home construction, from foundation work to finishing touches. It was here that he honed the skills and work ethic that would set him apart in the competitive world of custom home building.
