Ben Hangartner

As a fourth-generation contractor, Founder and CEO Ben Hangartner’s determination for excellence stems from those who have gone before him. Ben observed his father and grandfather in the construction business and ultimately realized that people do business with people they like, know, and trust. To that end, Ben immerses himself into every design, bid, build, and interior finish out. Ben is responsible for developing strategic objectives and overseeing the company’s overall direction by implementing plans that align with our short-term and long-term goals. Company culture is vitally important to the success of our clients’ projects, and it is Ben’s mission to establish an environment that prioritizes culture more than growth.
