Commitment to Excellence
More than 40 years ago Gerald Gallegos built his first stone fireplace, and from there his passion for masonry, his commitment to excellence and his construction prowess bloomed. Under his guidance, the Gallegos name became synonymous with quality craftsmanship.
Gallegos is the leader in quality residential and commercial construction services. Our craftsmen are uniquely qualified to create custom works of art in stone, masonry, stucco, plaster, concrete, marble, granite, tile and art rock.

This spirit of giving was championed by Gerald for 40 years. He was born in Southern Colorado and attended Eagle County public schools, graduating from Battle Mountain High School, and then continued his education at Mesa State College in Grand Junction. Gerald was especially driven to helping youth get ahead and providing educational opportunities. He was involved in many organizations and was a devoted member of the boards of El Pomar, the Vail Valley Foundation, The Youth Foundation, the Minturn Community Fund and Roundup River Ranch.
Gerald was a founding member of The Youth Foundation, an educational organization dedicated to serving youth in need in Eagle and Lake Counties. This organization was founded in 1997 and has served thousands of economically disadvantaged children. Susie Davis, Executive Director of The Youth Foundation, summed up the way Gerald touched lives of everyone. He was more than a philanthropist, he genuinely cared about the best interests of people, and went out of his way to effect change.
"Everyone who knew Gerald has a story of his generosity. Gerald’s life was full of giving. He gave many people a chance – a chance at success, a chance for hope. Gerald gave with heart . . . especially when it came to children. There are so many stories to tell of Gerald helping children...
