~Company History~

Fogarty Construction was founded in Johnson County, Kansas in 2002. Prior to that, the companies owner, Tom Fogarty owned a successful construction company under the name "Rafter Master" that operated out of Portland, Oregon for 15 years. 

The Fogarty family, (Tom, his wife, Stacy, and their four children),  relocated after visiting some friends in the area and falling in love with the bright open skies, the family friendly atmosphere and the Midwest way of life. 

Tom began his career in the midwest as a superintendent for Mr. Randy Russell of Covenant Construction but soon found he missed the challenges of framing and being his own boss. Since then Tom has worked hard to build a solid reputation as one of the areas most sought after rough in carpenters by consistently turning out high quality workmanship quickly and at a competitive price.

Doing it right the first time saves time and money:

 

We understand that framing is one of the most important stages in the building process. It is our goal to deliver a house that is completed to the highest standard and insure it will be a project you will be proud to put your name on. After all, if the frame of a structure is poorly constructed the rest of the project will be difficult and more costly to build and never be the masterpiece you set out to produce.
