David Carson, with the support (and patience) of his
wife, Rosemary, founded Gemstar Construction in 1983. David felt
that his strong background in property insurance coupled with knowledge
and experience in the construction industry would provide the right
combination for success in the specialized field of restoration
and reconstruction. He was right, and before long, David's natural
sales ability outpaced the production capabilities of the fledgling
company. David and Rosemary began to search for the right partner
to head up the company's operations division as David continued
to build a strong client base.
David approached a former co-worker whom he respected
for his strong work ethic, ability to lead and organize, and his
vast knowledge of restoration construction. Winston Payne liked
the idea so much that he joined the company as a co-owner in 1987.
He brought with him many years of construction experience and the
ability to lead and organize construction crews for maximum efficiency.
Since that time the company has grown steadily and
now employs over 75 people from carpenters and helpers to professional
estimators and clerical staff. Throughout all the years and all
the changes, Gemstar has maintained a reputation for fairness and
quality unsurpassed in the reconstruction industry. In fact, many
of our first clients are still our clients today.
