Our Success Story:

It all started in 1997 when Joe Leonello and his father started their own construction firm. They were soon joined by Joe's brother, Frank, in 2003 and, thus, the Franjo legacy was born. Franjo Builders is an affiliate of Franjo Construction. Franjo Builders' legacy begins in 1980 with the incorporation of GSD Contracting in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The team built a solid foundation and was recognized by The South Florida Business Journal as one of the top 25 commercial contractors in the market. This all lead to the ultimate acquisition of GSD, now known as Franjo Builders.
