Geertsma Homes Ltd. traces its roots to 1976, when the Geertsma group incorporated as Geertsma Masonry Ltd., building on the work of founder Marten Geertsma. The company later expanded into general contracting and residential construction, with Geertsma Homes developing a range of single-family starter and custom homes, townhomes, multi-unit housing and retirement communities. Today, Andy Geertsma is identified as President, with the company serving Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County and Kingston. Geertsma Homes has operated in the Quinte and surrounding region for more than 50 years, according to its official company history. Its approach emphasizes quality construction, attention to detail and customer-focused service, while its communities include detached homes, new urbanism homes, two-storey townhomes and bungalow townhomes. Current developments such as Riverstone in Belleville demonstrate its focus on varied residential formats and community development. In 2025, Riverstone’s “The Winsford” received an OHBA Award of Distinction in the Attached Multi-Unit Home category, providing a documented recent achievement for the builder.
