Harvey Smith Construction, Inc. has established itself as a leading custom builder in the greater Baton Rouge area for over four decades. Founded by World War II veteran Harvey Smith, Jr. in the 1950s, the company initially stemmed from part-time remodeling jobs while he worked at a local plant. By 1968, the venture had blossomed into a successful enterprise, prompting Harvey to commit fully to the construction business. After decades of dedication and craftsmanship, Harvey Smith, Jr. retired in 2004, and the legacy continued under the leadership of his children, Carol and Tim. Together, they have embraced their father's vision for high-quality custom home construction, emphasizing the belief that every house should reflect the unique specifications and desires of its owners. By focusing on elegant yet functional designs, Harvey Smith Construction aims to deliver homes that provide lasting pride and value to their clients. With hands-on experience from their time working alongside their father, both Carol and Tim bring a wealth of knowledge to the company. Carol’s background as a general contractor and her management experience at Home Depot, combined with Tim’s training from his Marine Corps service and his experience in the computer industry, enhance the company’s capabilities. Established as a partnership in 1994, the company has carved a niche in both residential and commercial construction, highlighting their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. As they look to the future, Carol and Tim remain dedicated to continuing the tradition of quality craftsmanship and personalized service that their father started over forty years ago.
