Since its inception, Square Peg Construction Inc. has set itself apart through keen aesthetic vision, design acumen and uncommon craftsmanship. The Square Peg team prides itself on setting a new standard for wood tradesmen and being the best dang team around.
David Humphrey and Chad Hajek met as like-minded sub-contractors on a construction site in 1997 and joined forces with Leslie Humphrey to found Square Peg Construction in 1998. When Chad moved on from Square Peg in 2011, Leslie assumed full responsibility for the back end of business management and growth of the company.
Although we started with just two carpenters, our dedicated shop and field teams have built our reputation for quality work and are the foundation of our success. We respect their commitment and skill with w-2 status, paid holidays, sick days and health benefits. We are proud that several of our team members have stayed with us for ten or more years.
Square Peg is a Certified Living Wage Employer and a proud member of the Asheville Home Builders Association and the Asheville Green Built Alliance.
