Where Southern Charm Meets New England Style
Gardenia Homes Incorporated is the shared vision of Clay and Annie Rector — a custom home design branch of their state-licensed construction company, Clay Rector Construction Inc. Together, we’ve blended Annie’s Northern New England Hampton-style elegance with Clay’s warm Southern charm to create something truly special. We believe that everyone deserves a place that reflects their personality, a home filled with charm where life can flourish. At Gardenia Homes, quality isn’t just a priority — it’s at the heart of everything they do. Whether in design, construction, or finishing touches, we pour dedication and care into every project, ensuring that each home is as unique and inviting as the family who lives in it.
The History Behind The Beauty
Our journey began after marriage and the start of our family of four sons. Soon after, Clay earned his State Licensed Building Contractor certification, and we launched our own construction business. Annie, while assisting Clay with various clinical and courier tasks, also ran a thriving home and office cleaning business. As two entrepreneurs with complementary talents, Clay and Annie set out to build the kind of homes they had always dreamed of — high-quality, custom, and peaceful spaces that remain affordable.
