About Behr Construction
Behr Construction has been building since 1976, and in our 50th year our corporate team brings over 90 years of combined construction experience. With that experience comes the expertise and professionalism to successfully complete construction projects of all sizes. We focus on personal attention to our clients while adhering to a strict schedule and producing only the highest quality product. We strive to stay on top of the most recent trends and new products available to help our clients complete the project of their dreams. We not only take pride in providing you with a home you can love, we want the experience to be a pleasant and rewarding.

Our Mission & Objectives
Leadership & Quality
We strive to be the leader of a team consisting of the client, architect, contractor and all of our vendors and subcontractors; to take responsibility for the timely completion and quality of each new home or remodel.
Setting The Industry Standard
Our goal is to create an atmosphere that promotes safety, employee morale, community spirit, honesty and integrity. We earn and maintain the respect and trust of our clients, through proper communication, competitive pricing and insuring the product quality of each phase of the building process.
Lasting Relationships
Through our work, we develop long term relationships with clients, vendors, suppliers and subcontractors and create an atmosphere whereby the firm and its associates offer a quality, timely performance at a reasonable price.
Our Qualifications
Our field personnel know every area of the work, so we understand exactly what's required from subcontractors and the rest of the project team. Since 1975, we've built that knowledge across more than 4,000 sites. Whether your project is number 4,010 or 4,050, it inherits everything we've learned on the ones before it.
We aggressively promote equal employment opportunity and enforce a comprehensive safety program. Hands-on management styles are utilized administratively and optionally. Clear policies, procedures and controls keep the office clean, productive and efficient.
Behr Construction Co. has guided itself into residential construction including Design-Build and hard-bid new construction, along with repairs, alterations, additions, remodeling and renovations. We also do consulting, expert witnessing and default take-over work. Projects range from room additions to custom homes between 1,500 and 10,000 square feet, and from $500 repairs to homes valued over $10,000,000.
