As a third-generation home builder, Zack Girard continued his family legacy when he founded Girard Homes. Nine years later, Girard continues to bring his clients’ ideas to life. “We get to work with some really great clients to help them and figure out how to make their dream home a reality,” he says.

Throughout the years, Girard’s favorite part of the job has remained showcasing the latest design trends in his model homes. It’s through those showcases that he gets to see “how people react when they take a tour of it for the first time.”

One trend Girard is starting to see accelerate is the use of relaxation rooms in new homes. This is a space dedicated to reading, wine, crafts, yoga or music.

When adding new features to a home, Girard says problems can arise but remember that “every problem has a solution, you just have to be creative to figure it out.”
