Message from our Founder
In 1987, Hudec Construction Company was founded to service small, quick-turn specialty contracts. The very first “side jobs” were plastic laminate projects for various general contractors, architects, and owners.
The first “production shop” was the two-car garage at the residence of my parents, John and Phyllis Hudec. It was in this garage that my father and I worked, literally around the clock at times, to complete these early millwork projects. The “early days” saw an emphasis on small general contracting projects for various new construction and remodeling, as well as millwork projects.
It was during these days that our understanding of real customer service began to take shape. This understanding fostered the idea of providing a level of service to our customers that could not be paralleled by any other company presently serving them. This commitment has never changed throughout the years.
After about 9 years in business, our focus shifted from general contracting / millwork to primarily millwork. The architectural woodworking part of the business had always been more consistent than outside general contracting. Therefore, we began to focus our energies on building this part of the business. During this time, we began to refer to our company full-time as "Hudec Woodworking Co."
From the early confines of the “2-car shop,” we moved to 9906 Express Drive in Highland. We occupied three different tenant spaces within this building for 9 years. In 1996, we designed and built our present facility on Ivanhoe Ct. in Griffith, Indiana. This operation was a dream realized for all who worked in the cramped quarters of our Highland shop.
