It has come to my attention that whenever anyone googles “Scott Haas Construction” my blog comes up. Therefore, in light of the fact that I haven’t posted about our company in sometime and some the information is outdated, here is the most recent goings on at SHC.
Recently we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of both Scott getting laid off (May 12) and of the start of SHC (June 1), which for obvious reasons coincide :). We find ourselves extremely blessed to be able to say that God has more than provided for us this year as we stepped out in faith to start a new construction company in a recession. When we first started one of Scott’s good friends told him that if he continued to do things with the same level of integrity and competency that he would have more than enough business. How true that statement has turned out to be. We have never had a moments worry about where our next job would come from.
Most of the work Scott has completed is here in Guthrie, with just a few exceptions. Most of the work has consisted of remodels (new roofs, siding, or room additions). This continues to be exciting because we are literally beginning to see the face of Guthrie change. With great effort on the part of some of our city employees, Guthrie locals are being made aware of government funding that is available for low-income families. This is so important because so many of the people here in Guthrie are below poverty level and are living in the most wretched conditions. It is both a blessing and a challenge to help these families remodel their homes into something they can be proud of.
While remodels have definitely been our “bread and butter,” Scott is currently bidding and working on some new custom homes. This is particularly exciting since new home construction is what he really loves to do. He is especially excited about future prospects of building larger homes like he did early in his construction career.
We have been so content here in Guthrie. We honestly don’t know why God chose this particular location for our company to grow. We probably never would have chosen it for ourselves, but we are so thankful that our obedience has proven fruitful and we cannot wait to see what the next year holds for SHC.
