Deslandes Construction

Our History

When a business is begun by a family patriarch and passed down through generations, it carries a unique distinction. A name that embodies the family itself becomes more than just a brand; it represents a legacy of values, experience, and unwavering commitment. James G. Deslandes Sr., the owner and president of Deslandes Construction, carries over 40 years of experience and integrity into a business that was originally established by his father back in 1953. Now, joined by his son, Jim Jr., who brings not only inherited skills but a college degree in Construction Management and a global firm background, the family combines generations of practiced building techniques, a deep understanding of business principles, and a dedicated team of skilled tradesmen to serve residential and commercial clients.
