Wilkie Construction Company Inc. has been a cornerstone of the construction industry since its establishment in 1959 by Glenn A. Wilkie in the Hickory, North Carolina metro area. From humble beginnings, repairing a garage door for just $18, the company has morphed into a trusted brand known for its high-quality workmanship and dedication to customer satisfaction.
Over the years, Wilkie Construction has evolved under the leadership of multiple generations. Following Glenn’s tenure, his sons, Greg and Dean Wilkie, took on leadership roles in the 1970s. They introduced modern construction techniques and played a pivotal role in driving the company to new heights. Today, the third generation, led by Vice President Josh Wilkie, continues to uphold the founding principles of integrity, quality, and customer-centric service, ensuring every project not only meets but exceeds client expectations.
The construction company specializes in a variety of services, including pre-construction, design-build, general contracting, upfits, and renovations, as well as pre-engineered construction projects. They handle projects across various sectors such as commercial, industrial, healthcare, government, education, and more. Wilkie Construction prides itself on its ability to offer complete job services, guiding clients through every phase of the construction journey—from the initial design to the final product—while maintaining budgetary efficiency and quality control.
A core philosophy of Wilkie Construction is its commitment to establishing long-lasting relationships with clients built on trust and mutual respect. The company believes in providing excellent service that represents outstanding value for every dollar spent, focusing not just on construction efficiency but also on the overall client experience.
