The story of Hoar Construction is the story of people. It’s individuals, families, communities, all coming together to build places that will truly last, and become a legacy for the generations to come. This is our commitment; to always grow in our character. Always improve. Always lead. Always steward. Always build up. Always find a way. We have been in business for 85 years, and we’re very proud of that. There aren’t many companies in our industry that have been around this long. During these 80 years, we’ve been able to thrive, grow, and expand. What started out as a small family business is now more than 900 employees strong. Today, we have seven offices in seven states and attribute our success to the values our company was founded on. From the beginning, we have had a relentless desire to improve. We constantly seek ways to change not only our own company, but to improve the industry. We saw time and effort being wasted on warranty callbacks, so we created a unique quality control program that is now being used by contractors across the country. We know the biggest problem facing the construction industry is inefficiency, so we work hard to eliminate inefficiency every day. We use creativity and attention to detail to dig deeper than the drawings. We don’t ask, “How do we build this?” We ask, “How do we build this better?”
