SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT When Quality is the First Priority F or the past 20 years, Jason Hemphill, founder of Hemphill Contracting, has been building, renovating and remodeling homes throughout the South Hills for discerning homeowners who refuse to cut corners. That reputation for quality has propelled him from working on other crews to striking out on his own nearly a decade ago, leaving a neighborhood’s worth of satisfied homeowners behind him. “We do everything and that sets us apart,” Hemphill said. “From new construction to very extensive renovations to difficult remodels and the biggest additions, we do it all and we do it with quality.” He points to 1786 Dominion Drive in Upper St. Clair as an example of his craftsmanship on a home that Hemphill Contracting built from foundation to shingles. “We will not sacrifice quality for speed, and that’s important,” he said. “We deliver on time without having to cut corners. We use the highest quality materials - real plywood over OSB and copper pipes over PEX, which a lot of people aren’t sold on yet. We do it the right way and I’ve been fortunate that the last seven years we’ve been serving clients in the South Hills exclusively: Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon, Peters and Bethel Park.” Hemphill inadvertently got into contracting right out of high school when his brother-in-law saw hard labor as a way to push him in a career direction. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I knew college wasn’t something for me, so he brought me out to torture me as a a laborer,” Hemphill joked. “Turns out, I loved it. I loved it then and I still love it today.” And while he’s up for any project, Hemphill takes special pride in the more extreme aspects of the jobs he bids out and loves when homeowners challenge him with a design that’s unique to their lifestyle. “We build things that people will live with for as long as they own their home,” he said. “So creating something that’s special, unique and reflective of the personality of the homeowners is like being commissioned for a work of art. We’re using common building materials to create something they will cherish and enjoy day in and day out. When it comes down to it, the place you lay your head at night is your home and it deserves to be as personalized for you as it can be.” As the leader of a team of five professionals, Hemphill said his team is the best he’s ever worked with and consummate professionals about the work. “Everybody I work with loves their job and what we do,” he said. “We’re all happy to come to work every day and we love seeing homeowners’ faces when they see the quality we put into every job. We all care about the job we do and want to make sure the homeowners see that everytime they walk into their home.” For more information on Hemphill Contracting, call them at 724.581.8199. MT.
