Let Us Show You How Experience & Pride in Our Work Make all the Difference

our story
Our company was built from the ground up, starting with just one truck, one piece of equipment, and a commitment to doing things differently. Founder Joey Bartley entered the construction field right after high school, quickly recognizing that many companies lacked respect for their customers.
Determined to create something better, he started his own business focused on honest work, strong relationships, and customer satisfaction. Two decades later, the same values remain at the heart of everything we do.
