What Sets Us Apart
At Little John’s Construction, we don’t just build — we stand on values that have guided us for nearly 30 years. From the way we treat your property to the quality of every cut and screw, these are the principles that define our work and our name.
Craftsmanship That Lasts
We won’t ever rush a job or cut corners. Every project is done the right way — with skill, precision, and pride.
Respect For Your Property
Our motto is simple: "You’ll never know we were there." We keep worksites clean, organized, and safe — always.
Clear, Honest Communication
From your first call to the final walkthrough, we keep you in the loop. No guesswork. No surprises.
People First,
Always
We value the relationships we build just as much as the buildings themselves. You’re not just a customer — you’re part of our story.
The Details
Matter
It’s the small things that make a job great. We sweat the details so you don’t have to.
Built on a Name. Backed by Generations.
Little John’s Construction is more than a business — it’s a family legacy.
Founded by John Shafer and named with humility in mind, Little John’s Construction has earned the trust of families and businesses across Eastern Ohio for over 28 years. Built on honest work, high standards, and respect for every customer’s property, it’s a name that stands for doing the job right. Today, John’s family plays an even greater role in the business — carrying forward the same craftsmanship, clear communication, and care that have always defined our work.
Whether we’re building a pole barn, installing a new roof, or laying out a clean deck, one thing stays the same: we do it right — or not at all.
