Geers Bros. Builders has a rich heritage of skill and knowledge upon which to build their business. It began in the 1950’s when Simon Geers started building residential homes in the Byron Center area. He passed that trade along to his son John S. Geers who started his own business in 1970. John made it a priority to teach his sons, Tim and Mike, how to build a quality home early on in as well. Tim and Mike both worked as teenagers after school for their father which led to full-time employment for each of them after graduating from South Christian High School. They began as hourly employees framing houses, doing trim carpentry work, installing siding, roofing, and concrete flatwork for all of John’s homes.
