About us

Family-run since 2004.

A Columbus builder with our own crew, our own tools and a short list of trades we trust.

A carpenter checking new roof rafters

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.
