"I started Leapley Construction with a passion for people - for our team, our clients, our neighbors and partners in the community. With this focus, the business grew steadily for years. When we were ready to take on bigger projects and level up in the industry, I partnered with Alan Scoggins, a true construction expert. With his operational insight, and our strong partnership, Leapley has grown tremendously over the past decade, and we have increased our impact in the community significantly.”
