Barger Construction Company, Incorporated has a rich history rooted in the construction industry, dating back to 1902 when three Barger brothers established a sawmill in Rowan County, North Carolina. Initially, the company was heavily involved in lumber production, operating six sawmills and shipping approximately two million feet of lumber annually. The evolution of the company took a significant turn in 1923 when the Barger Brothers began residential construction in and around Mooresville, North Carolina, laying the foundation for their future endeavors.
The company officially transformed into Barger Construction Company in 1947, with L. Young White at the helm. Under White’s leadership, the company flourished until his untimely passing in a train accident in 1968. Since then, the company has seen a succession of respected leaders, including M.A. Wicker, Ben L. Millsaps, and currently, Gerald D. Brown, who continues to guide it towards success.
Today, Barger Construction specializes in the construction of industrial plants, commercial and institutional buildings, schools, churches, hospitals, and shopping centers. It has carved a niche as experts in grocery store interior construction, collaborating with major grocery chains such as Harris Teeter for over fifty years. The company's commitment to high-quality workmanship and building lasting relationships with clients is evident in its extensive portfolio.
With an annual revenue of $7-9 million, Barger Construction operates across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia, holding an unlimited license to undertake various projects. The company remains proud of its century-long legacy while continuously evolving to meet the changing demands of the construction industry.
