About
Rooted in Portsmouth, Ohio, our company proudly carries three generations of excavation experience. What began as hard work passed down through our family has grown into a trusted local business built on reliability, craftsmanship, and respect for the land and the people we serve.
For generations, our family has worked in excavation and earthmoving, learning the trade hands-on and earning a reputation for doing the job right the first time. That history shapes everything we do today—from how we approach each project to how we treat our customers. We believe quality work, honest communication, and follow-through still matter.
As a small, locally owned excavation company, we take pride in serving Scioto and the surrounding communities. Whether it’s site preparation, grading, trenching, or general excavation, we bring the same care and attention to every job, large or small. Our size allows us to stay flexible, responsive, and personally involved in each project from start to finish.
We don’t just move dirt—we help build foundations for homes, businesses, and communities. When you work with us, you’re working with a family that stands behind its name and its work, just as we have for three generations.
Our Story
Howell Construction began in 2021 with nothing more than determination, a strong work ethic.
What started as a small, one man operation grew out of humble beginnings. With limited resources and years of hands-on experience, held values that matter most in construction: honesty, craftsmanship, and pride in doing the job right the first time. Early days meant long hours, small jobs, and doing whatever it took to earn the trust of each customer.
Working side by side, Jake and family built more than projects — they built a reputation. Every job, no matter the size, was treated with care and respect. Word began to spread, and what started as a simple father-son venture steadily grew into a trusted construction company known for reliability and quality work.
Today, Howell Construction stands as a testament to hard work, family values, and perseverance. While the company has grown since those early days, the foundation remains the same: a commitment to honest work, strong relationships, and building things that last.
From humble beginnings to a growing future, Howell Construction is proud of where it started — and even more proud of where it’s going.
Headquartered West Portsmouth, Ohio
