About us
Family-run since 2004.
A Columbus builder with our own crew, our own tools and a short list of trades we trust.

Halden Build Co. started with one truck and one carpenter. Today we are a team of sixteen, and most of our work still comes from past clients and their neighbors.
We take on a limited number of projects at a time, so the people who start your job are the people who finish it. We don’t sell your project to a subcontractor and we don’t disappear after the final payment.
Every job has a written warranty, and we come back a year later to check on it.
How we work
How we run a job.
One price
The price in your proposal is the price you pay, unless you ask for a change. Changes are priced in writing first.
One crew
Our own carpenters do the work. You will know their names by the end of the first week.
A clean site
We protect floors, seal off dust and clean up every day, so you can live at home during the work.

From our clients
They told us the real price at the start and it never changed. The crew cleaned up every single day, which mattered with two kids at home.
Laura & Ben K. Rosa sent photos every Friday, so we always knew where things stood. The bathroom was done two days early.
George T. Our addition looks like it was always part of the house. Neighbors keep asking who built it.
