Meet Our Founders

David Howard, co-founder of On Grade Construction, has over 25 years of experience in excavation and operating heavy machinery. His expertise extends to managing intricate projects involving underground utilities. David's skills are not just learned; they are inherited through generations from his grandfather and father, ensuring that traditional techniques are preserved while blending seamlessly with today's technology.

Co-founder Deneb Howard brings the artistic touch to our construction endeavors. With an Associate Degree from RIT in glass arts and a decade as a Certified Journeyman Union Carpenter, Deneb's work is marked by creativity and attention to detail. While Deneb’s background is diverse, it significantly enhances the aesthetic aspects of our projects, from custom woodworking to custom ceiling designs.

Specialized Services

While excavation and construction remain our core focus, Deneb also offers specialized services upon request, including sawmill and lumber drying, detailed woodworking, and ceilings/carpentry. These services are a testament to our versatility and Deneb’s personal passion, available to clients looking for a unique and custom addition to their projects.
