Our History

Of Success

We built our business like we construct your buildings: with expert care,
lots of effort, and attention to detail. We’ve been focused on quality and craft
since day one, and we’ve grown and succeeded by always focusing on
collaboration, open communication, and good people.

Over the next two decades, Chesapeake would focus on expanding its portfolio and investing in top-notch talent to become a trusted leader in the industry.

TODAY

2009–PRESENT

We offer our clients an expansive suite of construction solutions, and we’re proud to have built a brand that is synonymous with adaptability, trust, and transparency.
