GASPAR'S CONSTRUCTION
“We were seeking a bank that could give us the 'personal touch' in service that we had lost with our former institution.
Since our move to Fortune Bank, we have experienced a unique blend of service that encompasses both the personal touch and
the high standard of professionalism we need. They have been very responsive when we needed them, and have gone out of their
way to make our banking experience as easy as possible.” Lauren Smith, Office Manager, Gaspar's Construction.
Gaspar’s Construction has remodeled homes in Seattle since 1978.
We have built a company culture that is centered on effective communication and believe that both listening and fostering relationships
are the keys to a successful remodeling experience. Our award-winning team has produced beautiful projects ranging from kitchens and
2nd story additions to whole home remodels.
