A brief history
In 1966, Richard Hoyt left his family’s custom home construction business to start a light commercial construction company. He met Don Hayner through the Home Builders Association and their friendship gave way to The Hayner Hoyt Corporation—an honest, straight-forward commercial construction company dedicated to satisfying its customers and giving back to the community.
Since its founding, we’ve maintained our “work hard, be kind” culture and grown to build a diverse range of projects in the healthcare, higher education, entertainment, manufacturing, and retail industries.
As a full-service company, we have the focus and efficiency to manage very small maintenance/repair-type projects of only a few thousand dollars while simultaneously offering the expertise and staff resources to manage single projects exceeding $150 million. Because of our transparent business practices and our commitment to building with you (not just for you, there’s a difference), we’re proud to share that 99% of our customers come back and work with us again.
If companies got report cards,
ours would say “Plays well with others.”
There are a lot of commercial builders out there. And, while the path from contract to completion may differ here and there, it’s likely we’re all capable of managing the build or renovation you have in mind. What sets Hayner Hoyt apart is our attention to people. Our people. Your people. And the people you serve.
We’re committed to keeping our customers for life and that means we’re focused on providing the best service. We take care of our employees so they take care of you. You’ll notice a difference in our process because you’ll actually want to work with us again.
Like our buildings, our relationships are built to last. At the end of the day, we realize it’s not really the building itself that matters, but what comes next; the work that will be done, the lives that will change, and the bonds that will be made behind the walls we knock down and the new ones we expertly set in place.
We support the community that supports us
It’s incredibly powerful to be in a position where we can give back and make a positive impact, and that’s part of why our employees love working here. By providing opportunities to work together that go beyond job descriptions, we’re able to give back to the community while simultaneously building new bonds within our company between employees who may not work together regularly.
It’s that whole concept of spreading the wealth; when we do well we can help others, and when they do well it starts a chain reaction of community betterment that benefits all of us. We’re proud to contribute to worthy causes that bring us closer together as a business and as a community.
We strive to be worthy of recognition
To us, awards are a reflection of getting up, showing up, and loving what we do every single day. It’s without a doubt our talented team that makes us who we are and we’re proud to recognize their hard work.
