About Us

Gerry Barber started Madera Enterprises in 1980 after two years teaching public school in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Madera Enterprises was involved in building custom furniture and cabinets.

Gradually, the small enterprise evolved into larger productions building decks, additions, and eventually a house for speculation in 1982.
