develops and constructs single-family<br />
homes and commercial properties.<br />
Owned by Tim, Brian and Matt<br />
Gruber, Ridge Stone constructs homes<br />
and produces residential and commercial<br />
subdivisions. The Grubers have<br />
been building and developing for<br />
more than 35 years. Ridge Stone was<br />
formed to cater to first-time homebuyers<br />
and “empty-nesters.”<br />
In the past four years, the company<br />
has expanded to include commercial<br />
projects and continues to grow<br />
throughout Ohio.<br />

ference.’ We are a family-owned business<br />
who believes in quality and fine<br />
workmanship. We want the building<br />
process to be fun,” said Tim Gruber.<br />
Currently, the Grubers are developing<br />
the River’s Edge subdivision off<br />
Fort Meigs Road, just south of <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />
High School. River’s Edge is<br />
a maintenance-free community of single-family<br />
homes. Lawn mowing and<br />
snow removal is provided for all<br />
homeowners. Ponds with fountains,<br />
walk-paths and a clubhouse are additional<br />
features of the neighborhood.<br />
Ridge Stone’s other projects under<br />
way are the development of Horseshoe<br />
Bend, located off Roachton<br />
Road, just east of PHS, and Harbor-<br />
Town Place, the area’s first waterfront<br />
commercial development. Horseshoe<br />
Bend is a traditional single-family<br />
neighborhood that offers homes from<br />
$170,000 to $300,000.<br />
“We use the same sub-contractors<br />
who built $1 million homes,” Mr.<br />
Gruber explained. “They have brought<br />
their talent to the $170,000 to<br />
$300,000 homes.”<br />
HarborTown Place is constructed<br />
around its signature lighthouse and a<br />
man-made lake. It offers Jed’s Barbeque<br />
and Brew, and is negotiating<br />
with other restaurants that want to<br />
serve large lunch crowds.<br />
Ridge Stone also has received multiple<br />
awards from Habitat for Human-<br />
ity. The company has constructed a<br />
home for the charity for eight years<br />
consecutively. Working in conjunction<br />
with its team of sub-contractors, the<br />
business gives back to the community<br />
by donating time, materials and ultimately,<br />
a home every year to a needy<br />
family.<br />
“We believe in true teamwork,”<br />
Mr. Gruber said. “We have worked<br />
with our sub-contractors to help others<br />
like Habitat for Humanity and soldiers’<br />
families who are in need.”<br />
Serving on the Habitat for Humanity<br />
board, Ridge Stone also helped<br />
build a large home for the Nuzum<br />
family, which includes more than 20<br />
special needs children.<br />

Ridge Stone Realty is a full service<br />
real estate brokerage. Our expertise<br />
helps guide clients through the entire<br />
real estate transaction. Ridge Stone Realty<br />
is owned by Dan McQuillen (broker/manager)<br />
Tim Gruber, Brian Gruber<br />
and Matt Gruber.<br />
In 2005 the Ridge Stone Builders approached<br />
Dan and discussed opening a<br />
real estate brokerage. After two years of<br />
preparation and planning, the brokerage<br />
was opened in 2007. With the establishment<br />
of both businesses, anyone who<br />
was looking to build a new home with<br />
Ridge Stone Builders could use Ridge<br />
Stone Realty to sell their previous home.<br />
This made Ridge Stone a one stop shop<br />
for transitioning from one house to the<br />
next.<br />
Since opening in 2007 Ridge Stone<br />
Realty has added 2 agents to the sales<br />
force, Jim Hutchinson and Rose Toth.<br />
Jim brings a number of years experience<br />
to Ridge Stone. Jim is a dynamic problem<br />
solver and uses his creativity and<br />
experience to get transactions to the<br />
closing table. Rose owns an interior design<br />
business, Rose Custom Interiors. In<br />
2009 she was voted by the Toledo City<br />
Paper as the designer of the year. She<br />
uses her interior design background to<br />
help clients stage their houses for a<br />
smooth sale.<br />
Ridge Stone Realty is heavily involved<br />
in the community. We sit on<br />
many different boards and committees.<br />
Some of which include Mike Bell’s transition<br />
team, EPIC, Leadership Toledo,<br />
Toledo Chamber of Commerce, Toledo<br />
Board of Realtors, Ohio Association of<br />
Realtors, National Association of Realtors<br />
and many more. Our realtors also<br />
engage in multiple networking activities<br />
such as EPIC’s Social Club and Economic<br />
Development Committee, N4S,<br />
Powercoffee, and the Wood County<br />
Economic Development Commission.<br />
Ridge Stone Realty’s future goals are<br />
controlled growth through selective hiring<br />
and market penetration. We are looking<br />
for someone who believes “it is the<br />
little things that make the big difference.”<br />
We want agents who communicate<br />
with their clients on a regular basis<br />
and agents who are willing to be active<br />
in the community.
