Dick Ferrell Contracting Inc.

In 1984, Dick Ferrell realized the need for a full-time remodeling firm to help homeowners and businesses in the York County, SC area, and founded
Dick Ferrell Contracting, Inc.  Dick realized that remodeling in a space occupied by families or businesses can be a stressful time for the people involved, but knew there were ways to make the process more comfortable.  The first and probably most important thing is for the client to feel comfortable and safe with the people involved.  Secondly, the client wants to feel that their wants and needs are being met, and that they are being respected throughout the project. Thirdly, the client realizes that their home or office represents a substantial investment, therefore expects work done that will add value to their property.  And finally the client deserves a job completed within budget, on time, and within the agreed upon contract.  At Dick Ferrell Contracting, Inc. we strive to use our God-given talents to help our clients realize their dream for their home or office.

Dick is the son of a contractor and has worked since high school summers in commercial and residential construction.  As a part-time employee of Wylie Construction Company, he worked on projects including Woodland Methodist Church, Rock Hill YMCA, Sylvia Circle Baptist Church, and Carowinds Theme Park.  After attending Clemson University, he helped his father start Jabo Construction Company.  For ten years he was working foreman for commercial projects at Jabo, but always was drawn to woodworking as a hobby.  Remodeling was the fun part of construction.

 In 1984, Dick decided to turn his love for remodeling into a full-time career, and from the start, desired to become the best in the area.  He founded Dick Ferrell Contracting (DFC) as a full-service construction company focusing only on remodeling. His goal is to honor God by helping others.  In 1986, DFC became one of the first construction companies in the area to use computers and software for cost estimating.  The company soon started using computers for accounting and word processing. Today the company’s processes are fully integrated.

 In 1985 Dick became involved in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), helped start the Charlotte chapter, and served as representative on the national level as chairman of the Education Committee.  He earned the Certified Remodeler status in 1986.

 Dick became involved the National Association of Home Builders Remodelers Council, and served two terms as York County NAHB president.  He also earned the Certified Graduate Remodeler status from NAHB.
