"I am a second generation construction man. My dad was in business for 35 years building bridges and roads. He retired in 1980 and started doing small scale work in excavation and hauling.
I worked with him growing up doing driveways, clearing land, hauling debris and installing septic tanks. He passed away in 1998 while I lived in Nashville, working as a safety manager for a trucking business.
I moved back home to Stevenson, AL in 2000 and started Gulley Construction. I started it with a 1983 model worn out International dump truck, a worn out trailer to move equipment with that I was scared to pull on the road and a 1988 wore out backhoe.
After a short time I started buying more equipment and updating trucks , within a year I was hiring employees. It has continued to grow every year since. So I never forget where I came from and how I got where I am today. "
We now have all new or late model equipment and a small fleet of dump trucks and utility vehicles.
In 2000 when the septic licenses came about Gulley Construction, LLC became licensed and we have probably put in more on-site waste water systems than anyone in the county.
We are the only Advanced Level Two installer in the county. That is for large flow systems. Septic systems are a big part of our business as there is a huge demand for them in unincorporated parts of Alabama.
In 2007 we expanded to include the paving business. It has been a good choice as it goes hand in hand with base work that we already do. We do residential as well as commercial paving. We do a lot of projects for the city of Scottsboro at Goosepond Colony.
We do the utility work for the city of Hollywood, and we do a lot for Stevenson utilities.
Our services include the trucking of dirt , sand, gravel,chert, and topsoil. We offer a full line of excavation work including dozer, backhoe, trackhoe or excavator, road grader, skid steer, compaction equipment, asphalt paving., and small tractor work.
We build and pave driveways for residential applications, layout dig and pour footings for houses, dig basements, clear lots, rough grade and final grade yards, and place backfill.
We are the chosen contractor for Habitat for Humanity of Jackson County for their footing and grade work.
We do a lot of work in the new Goosepond Island subdivision, in the Promenade, and the Oaks, and for Woodland Homes in their development at Lake Pointe.
Our commercial work involves a full line excavation company offering all aspects of site work, paving and utilities. Paving services feature curb and gutter installation as well. We specialize in parking lot paving and overlay.
We also offer paint striping and symbols.
Current projects include a city street in Scottsboro. We are building and paving the Stevenson Federal Credit Union site work, pad work, base work, paving and septic system.
The First Baptist Church of Bridgeport expansion and parking lot including storm drain installation.
Installation of water and sewer main line utilities for a new facility in Scottsboro.
In my business my theory is even when you have big projects going never forget the small customers because they have needs and they are the reason that I am where I am today.
