We ARE HARGETT
Built On
a Firm Foundation
The Hargett Construction name is synonymous with an enduring legacy of excellence. Founded in 1937 by the late Lewis H. Hargett, the firm has built dozens of central Kentucky’s most iconic structures. In the 88 years, Hargett Construction has maintained a strong reputation for being on time, on budget and fully committed to meeting client needs and expectations.
The Hargett experience is rooted in our transparent communication with clients and our strong reliability. The combination of creative design and keen problem-solving abilities on projects of all kinds has yielded a long list of highly satisfied clients throughout the company’s distinguished history.

Our philosophy
At Hargett, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that great construction begins with great character. We have built our reputation on integrity, craftsmanship, and collaboration, values that guide every decision we make and every relationship we form. We believe our role goes far beyond delivering a finished building; it is about creating spaces that serve people well and stand the test of time. Each project, whether large or small, is approached with care, precision, and respect for the client’s vision. We listen closely, communicate clearly, and take pride in finding practical solutions that balance quality, efficiency, and long-term value. Our team combines decades of experience with a forward-looking mindset, embracing new technologies and sustainable practices without losing sight of the timeless principles that have defined our work since day one. Above all, we are committed to doing what is right for our clients, our partners, and our community because we believe that is what truly sets a builder apart.
