Founded in 1995 by Hardy Cooper as a residential general contracting firm, Cooper Contracting was built on a foundation of honesty, integrity, quality craftsmanship, and dependable service. From the very beginning, the company earned a reputation for delivering exceptional work while building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and communities.

In 2010, Hardy partnered with longtime friend and fellow contractor Jason Richardson. Together, they established a long-term vision focused on strategic growth, operational excellence, and expanding the company’s capabilities throughout the Southeast. Under their leadership, Cooper Contracting evolved from building high-end custom homes into a trusted leader in multifamily and commercial wood framing and interior trim services.

Since 2010, the company has successfully expanded throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, consistently exceeding client expectations while delivering reliable schedules, quality workmanship, and predictable results. Cooper Contracting has built strong partnerships with developers, builders, and general contractors by maintaining a commitment to professionalism, safety, communication, and performance on every project.

Today, continued growth across the Southeast remains a key strategic priority. Backed by decades of industry experience and a proven track record of success, Cooper Contracting continues to build strong relationships founded on trust, integrity, and results.

Cooper Contracting is more than a construction company — it is a partner you can build on.
