After a successful 24-year career in the industry with a local commercial contractor, Brad pursued his life-long dream and started Integrity Construction – a company targeting both commercial and residential construction projects, focusing on delivering excellence to clients in a personal way. His vision was to build a business that was driven by a desire to serve people and by developing a team of professionals that are not only good at what they build, but how they do it.
