Because it is. Here’s what fifty years of Island building gets you that the big out-of-province outfits simply can’t.

A clear, itemised price before we start, and we stick to it. No vanishing budgets, no surprise change-orders.
We’re your neighbours. You’ll see us at the co-op and the rink long after the build, so we get it right the first time.
When we hand you the keys, the relationship isn’t over. We back our workmanship for years to come.
"Had a great experience with G I Adams and our house turned out amazing. We thought building a house 1600 km away would have many challenges but with good communication with Charles and staff it was a non issue. Charles looked after the red tape involved with government agencies to get building permit. All we had to do is sign the building permit."
"Charles and the team at GI Adams were excellent to work with. They provided great contacts to help us get our property built in a frictionless process, and the workmanship was top notch. Additionally, any issues we had were taken care of to ensure a quality finished product. Overall communication was maintained through the whole project and the team of contractors were pleasant to work with. Thanks GI Adams for building our home!"
"Honest, on schedule, and the workmanship is second to none. They treated our renovation budget like it was their own money. Couldn't recommend them more."
GI Adams has built custom homes across Prince Edward Island since 1973, and Alberton is close to our base. As the small service hub of the far west, it is right in our own corner of the Island, a short drive from our shop in Elmsdale. That proximity matters more than it might sound: it makes it easy for us to walk a lot with you, drop by during the build, and stay close to the work from start to finish. We have spent decades building in this part of the Island, so the area, the ground, and the way people want to live out here are all familiar to us, and that experience carries into every custom home building project we take on.
Building in Alberton usually comes down to one early question: in town or out. In town you are often working with serviced lots, where water and sewer are already at the street and the home sits within an established neighbourhood, often a shorter, simpler build to service. Just outside, on rural acreage, you have more room and more privacy, but the build needs its own well and septic and a careful look at drainage, access, and where the house should sit on the land. Each path has its own costs and its own advantages. We help you weigh both honestly, because the right answer depends on the lot in front of you and on how you and your family actually want to live.
The homes we build here are made for Island living year-round: sensible family layouts, a proper mudroom for boots and winter gear, solid insulation, and roofs and framing sized for our winters and snow load. We use durable exteriors that handle PEI weather without constant upkeep, and we build tight and well-insulated so a home is comfortable to live in and reasonable to heat. Whether it is a compact in-town home that fits its street, or a larger place on a rural lot with an attached garage or a workshop, we build it to suit Alberton and to last for the long run.
If you are considering a build in or around Alberton, we would be glad to meet on the lot or at the Elmsdale shop and talk it through.

Both work, and it comes down to the lot and how you want to live. In-town lots are often serviced, with water and sewer at the street and neighbours close by. Rural acreage gives you more room and privacy but needs its own well and septic. We will walk you through the trade-offs before you decide.
On a rural lot we plan for a well and a septic system, and we look closely at drainage, access and where the home sits. It is straightforward work we do often out here. We sort these details early so there are no surprises once the build is underway.
Alberton is right in our own corner of the Island, a short drive from our shop in Elmsdale. Because we are nearby, it is easy for us to meet on the lot, get started early, and stay close to the work all the way through.
Yes, we build year-round and plan the schedule around the seasons. We close the home in before the worst weather and carry on with interior work through the winter. Roofs and framing are sized for Island snow load as standard.
We do. Our own crew runs the build and we bring in trusted local trades to work alongside them. After fifty years on the Island we know who does dependable work, which keeps the job accountable and moving.
