Hear From Our Employees

Whitlock Builders understands the importance of having a great culture for its family of employees to thrive in. Don’t take their word for, but hear from them directly.

I was attracted to Whitlock Builders as a company that worked in High-end residential properties and seemed to retain its employees. Both the culture and work environment seem to be nice. Everyone seems like they genuinely want to help each other out, which creates a sense of being a team.

People work very hard here. There is never a moment without a lot to do. The work is challenging which is a positive thing. I enjoy working with my coworkers. They are all caring people with integrity. Also, the company covering all of the health insurance is a great incentive and shows care and concern for the employees.
