A Veteran Owned Company
Why Harris Hale?
We Started Harris Hale for a Simple Reason
Construction has a reputation problem.
Too many people have stories about contractors who stopped returning calls, missed deadlines, changed prices without explanation, or left projects unfinished. Unfortunately, those experiences have become common enough that many clients expect them.
We don't think that's how construction should work.
Harris Hale Construction was founded on the belief that doing good work is only part of the job. The other part is showing up when we say we will, communicating honestly, treating people with respect, and standing behind everything we build. It sounds simple, but we've found those things are becoming harder to find. That's why they're at the center of everything we do.
Building More Than Projects
Every project starts with someone's goal.
For a homeowner, it might be creating a kitchen where the family gathers every evening.For a business owner, it might be renovating a space that helps their company grow.For a facility manager, it might simply be finding a contractor who can take ownership of a problem so they don't have to worry about it anymore.
Our job isn't just to build.
Our job is to understand what success looks like for you—and then make it happen. Whether we're completing a small repair or managing a large commercial renovation, we approach every project with the same mindset: leave it better than we found it and make the process as smooth as possible.
The Way We Do Business
There are plenty of contractors who can swing a hammer.
What separates great contractors isn't the tools they own, it's how they manage a project. You'll never wonder where your project stands. You'll know what's happening, what decisions need to be made, what challenges we've found, and how we're solving them. If something changes, we'll tell you. If we make a mistake, we'll own it. If there's a better solution, we'll recommend it.
Our goal is to eliminate surprises, not create them. Because trust isn't built on perfect projects, it's built on honest conversations.
What We Build
Our team works across commercial, residential, and industrial construction throughout Southwest Virginia.
Commercial Construction
From office renovations and tenant improvements to ground up new builds and facility upgrades, we help businesses create spaces that support their operations while minimizing disruption.
Residential Construction
Whether it's a kitchen remodel, home addition, whole home renovation, custom new homes, or outdoor living space, we help homeowners invest in spaces they'll enjoy for years to come.
Building Services
Not every project requires months of construction. Sometimes you simply need a reliable contractor to repair a door, rebuild a deck, replace damaged framing, or tackle a long list of deferred maintenance. Those projects matter just as much.
Why Clients Continue Working With Us
Many of our clients didn't hire us because we were the cheapest. They hired us because they wanted confidence. Confidence that the work would be done correctly. Confidence that someone would answer the phone. Confidence that the project wouldn't become their full-time job.
We take that responsibility seriously.
Our goal isn't simply to complete your project. It's to become the contractor you call the next time you need one.
Built on Service
As a veteran owned company, service has always been part of our identity. That doesn't just mean serving our country.
It means serving our clients, our employees, our design partners, our trade partners, and the communities where we live and work.
We believe construction is one of the few professions where you can leave something behind that improves people's lives for decades.
Homes where families gather. Businesses where people build careers. Facilities that serve entire communities. We're proud to play a small role in building those places.
