Legacies Are Built From The Ground Up

77 Years of the Way Up

George T. Jaynes founded George Jaynes Construction Company in 1946 with a commitment to deliver quality and reliable service. It wasn’t long before our small concrete business evolved into an industry-leading construction company. More than three quarters of a century later, we proudly continue George’s legacy of always striving to raise the bar higher in order to help build stronger, thriving communities.
