Founded in 1963 by William Hemphill, Hemphill Construction Co., Inc. has evolved from a small painting and commercial contracting business into a prominent regional construction firm. Initially focused on remodeling and small soil conservation projects, the company shifted its attention to underground utility installations during the late 1970s, marking the beginning of its specialization in this critical area. Today, Hemphill Construction boasts a robust workforce of over 350 skilled professionals and operates from a substantial 22,000 square foot office in Florence, Mississippi.
With contractor licenses in multiple states including Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida, Hemphill Construction has a diverse portfolio encompassing site grading for large commercial developments, complete subdivision developments, and the construction of water and wastewater treatment plants. The company is recognized for its ability to handle complex civil construction projects, including road and highway construction and storm debris removal services.
Hemphill Construction is divided into four main divisions: pipelines, water and wastewater treatment facilities, road construction, and storm-related cleanup services. These divisions form the cornerstone of the company’s operations, and its expertise across various environments—rural, urban, and industrial—enables it to tackle projects efficiently and effectively.
The company prides itself on its commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction, establishing an impressive reputation for integrity and hard work. Its long-standing relationships with clients are reflective of its successful approach to project management, which emphasizes collaboration, cost-effectiveness, and often, early completion of projects. With a history marked by significant growth and accomplishment, Hemphill Construction continues to exhibit resilience and innovation in the construction industry, dedicated to meeting the challenges of the future.
