When homeowners choose a contractor, they are placing more than a property in someone’s hands. They are trusting that person with their home, their investment, and their vision. For Justin Gunger, owner of Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC, earning that trust begins with honest communication, quality craftsmanship, and a hands-on commitment to every project.
Serving homeowners throughout Southwest Florida, Justin Gunger has built his career around a simple philosophy: do honest work, respect every homeowner, and treat every property as if it were his own.

A Third-Generation Home Remodeler
Justin Gunger is a proud third-generation home remodeler whose experience in construction began at an early age. Growing up around the industry gave him a firsthand understanding of the dedication, skill, and discipline required to complete remodeling projects correctly.
Justin began working alongside his father and uncle at Gunger Homes. Rather than starting in an office or management position, he learned the business from the ground up through labor-intensive fieldwork.
This early experience taught him how important every detail is during a construction or home remodeling project. From preparation and planning to communication and final completion, Justin developed an appreciation for the work that homeowners may not always see but that ultimately determines the quality and durability of the finished project.
These lessons became the foundation of his career and continue to influence how he operates Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC today.

Growing With Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC
When Justin’s father and uncle eventually followed separate professional paths, Justin continued working with his uncle at Stillwater Development. He began as a laborer and steadily expanded his knowledge of every part of the company.
His willingness to learn allowed him to progress into estimating, project management, scheduling, and client communication. Each position provided valuable experience and prepared him to manage complete projects while maintaining high standards of workmanship and customer service.
When his uncle retired, Justin officially became the owner of Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC. Taking ownership allowed him to continue the company’s established reputation while bringing his own leadership style and commitment to the business.
For Justin, becoming the owner was not simply a career advancement. It was an opportunity to continue a family tradition, protect the company’s reputation, and provide Southwest Florida homeowners with dependable remodeling and home improvement services.

Hands-On Leadership From Beginning to End
One of the qualities that distinguishes Justin Gunger is his hands-on involvement throughout each project. As the owner of Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC, he does not separate himself from the work being completed.
Justin oversees projects from the initial planning stages through final completion and remains actively present on job sites. His involvement allows him to monitor progress, address concerns, communicate with homeowners, and ensure the work reflects the company’s standards.
For homeowners, having an accessible and involved owner can make a significant difference. Remodeling and construction projects often require multiple decisions, adjustments, and conversations. Justin believes clients deserve clear communication and a complete understanding of what is happening inside their homes.
By staying involved, he helps create a more transparent and comfortable experience for every client.

Home Remodeling Built on Trust and Integrity
Home remodeling requires more than technical ability. It requires trust.
Homeowners need to know that their contractor will respect their property, communicate honestly, and remain committed to completing the work properly. Justin has built Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC around these expectations.
Every project is approached with careful attention to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Justin understands that each homeowner has different goals, concerns, and expectations. Instead of treating projects as routine transactions, he focuses on providing personalized attention and maintaining open communication.
His approach is guided by several core values:
Honest and transparent communication
Respect for every homeowner and property
Careful attention to project details
High standards of craftsmanship
Hands-on project oversight
Commitment to customer satisfaction
These values have helped Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC establish lasting relationships with homeowners throughout Southwest Florida.
Continuing a Family Legacy in Southwest Florida
For Justin Gunger, construction is more than a profession. It is a family legacy that has shaped his life and career.
The lessons he learned from his father and uncle continue to guide him as a business owner. Their influence taught him that a strong reputation is earned through consistency, reliability, and the quality of the work delivered to each client.
Today, Justin carries that legacy forward through Stillwater Development and Home Service, LLC. His goal is not only to transform homes but also to create an experience that homeowners can feel confident recommending to others.
