Company History

When HarenLaughlin Construction was founded in 1932, Charles W. Haren, Sr. engrained his personal values into the company. Integrity. Professionalism. Craftsmanship.

C.W. Haren, Sr. (known as “Pappy”) planned to work in the family banking business after his college graduation in 1931. Due to the Great Depression, banking jobs were in short supply. Being a resourceful and hardworking young man, Pappy began renovating bank owned properties. Pappy was called to serve in the Navy during World War II, and hired Hal Laughlin to run his business. Upon his return from service, the partnership and HarenLaughlin Construction was born.

Pappy’s son Tod joined the company in the late 1960’s as a laborer, carpenter, and superintendent before joining the management team. After taking over the reins in the mid 1970’s, Tod grew the company through continued hard work and dedication.

In 1998 C.W. ‘Wells’ Haren III purchased HarenLaughlin Construction. Under his steadfast direction and leadership, the company has more than doubled in size. Now in our third generation, this employee-owned and operated business holds true to the principles of our founder providing quality craftsmanship, exceptional value and outstanding customer service.
