Meet Our Team
CHris Smith and Lori Smith
Our CEO & owner
Chris and Lori set the tone for a positive, hard-working environment where the team takes pride in their work. That’s a tradition carried on from Chris’ father and Lori’s husband Keith, who started the company in 1997. Keith served the community for 26 years. Prior to his passing, Keith bestowed leadership of the company to his son. Chris and Lori have carried Keith’s legacy of care, quality, and craftsmanship into a new, thriving season within the company.
“From the moment we spoke with Chris on the phone regarding our attic renovation, we knew Keith Smith Construction was the right choice. Every aspect of the project was handled with courtesy, respect, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail.”

A legacy of craftsmanship.
Keith Smith, our founder, learned the trade from his father when we has 12. Eventually he started this business, and taught his own sons the love of building. Our team today is a reflection of the values he instilled, and the example he set of careful measurements and passionate designs.
