What their customers say

Quotes from people at Harper General Contractors's customers.

“The Harper team demonstrated excellent communication and coordination abilities throughout the construction process. They were quick to address any issues that arose and were responsive to any concerns raised by City staff. They also demonstrated a high level of fiscal responsibility, with no change orders to the GMP. During the construction of Unity Park, Harper General Contractors was highly professional, worked cooperatively to overcome challenges and displayed an attention to detail, quality and safety that made the construction process as efficient, economical and successful as possible.”

Jeff L. Waters · Senior Capital Projects Manager · City of Greenville

“Harper provided a team of project managers and superintendents who were responsive to all three partners in this endeavor, and worked well with architects who were not readily available. That was no small task. Because of Harper’s leadership and patience with all parties, The Franklin School is a state-of-the-art early childhood center serving as a model for the southeast region.”

Thomas D. White, Jr., Ph.D. · Retired Chief Operations Officer and Retired Superintendent · Spartanburg County School District Seven

“In Boone, it can snow 6” in a matter of hours. Ingenuity and most importantly hard work and dedication moderate mother nature. As the superintendent came into the job trailer literally covered in snow with a backpack blower on and icicles hanging from his beard, I knew we had the right team on the job. We are truly honored to provide the highest level of recommendation for this team.”

Chadwick S Roberson, AIA, LEED AP BD+C · Managing Principal · Clark Nexsen

“Harper exhibited professionalism, passion, and integrity. The Harper Team assigned to the project were quick to resolve any issues that may arise during the project while providing timely responsiveness and clear communication. During the duration of this project, Harper was a team player and was a joy to work with.”

Tony Reid, PE, BCEE · Water Resources and Treatment Division · Goodwyn Mills Cawood

“The Harper team was excellent from the very start. They were very helpful at finding ways to cut costs and maintain quality. Their leadership helped to partner with our design team (GMC) towards a cost-efficient system.”

Doug Cadenhead · Former Project Manager · Greenville County Schools

““This was our first CM at risk project and it was a very favorable experience thanks to the Harper Team. Much of our project took place during the COVID-19 shutdown. [They] not only managed to deliver a superior building, but did so without complaint and in advance of the deadline.””

Michael Weeks · Director · Roper Mountain Science Center

“The project was completed on time and within budget which is amazing since they were built during a pandemic.

I appreciate the standard of quality that Harper expected from their subs. If there was an issue, Harper corrected it without complaint.”

Scott Powell · President · Craig Gaulden Davis

Lauren Luneckas · CEO · The Children's Museum of the Upstate

“Harper was heavily invested in the success of this project and led the Design-Build effort for this project to meet the goals and to alleviate the challenges presented by this project. Because of Harper’s dedication to the success of this project, the ReWa Memorial Garden will serve as a reminder to the community for generations to come that ReWa is committed to bettering the environment that we live in and will serve as that reminder to all who visit.”

David J. Depratter, P.E. · Regional Practice Leader · KCI Technologies

“At GFN Church a part of our mission is to be a church FOR THE UPSTATE. When a catastrophic flood occurred due to a frozen water main we knew we would need partners to help us keep this mission going. HarperXS was that partner. They worked to not only get our building back to operational but went above and beyond to help us make it ever better so we could serve our families of the Sonshine Learning Center and our GFN Church families. We felt like Harper XS owned our mission as their own as they helped us recover.”

David Snodgrass · Head Pastor · Greenville First Nazarene Church

Their communication and coordination during the GMP process was also exceptional. The project team was able to adapt to numerous challenges, including a global pandemic and supply chain issues, and always had a solution at hand to any problems that arose. We highly recommend them as a professional partner.”

Kevin Smith, PE · Project Manager · Spartanburg Water

Robbie Binneker · Anderson School District One

“Wholeheartedly and without reservation, I recommend Harper General Contractors (Harper) for your building needs. I served as the Owner’s Representative for several projects with Harper over the past five years. On every project they lived up to their mantra, ‘More than anything, we build trust.’ From preconstruction through completion, their process was transparent and honest. Harper delivers quality, expertise, and effectiveness; just like they promise. That is integrity.”

Thomas D. White, Jr., Ph.D. · Retired Chief Operations Officer and Retired Superintendent · Spartanburg County School District Seven

“This restoration wouldn’t have been possible without Harper’s attention to detail, craftmanship, and care. This landmark will once again provide significant benefit to the growth and revitalization of downtown Spartanburg and return a formerly vacant building to a viable new economic use.”

Bogue Wallin · Principal · Blue Wall Real Estate

“It is very reassuring in today’s construction environment to work with a general contractor that maintains the highest level of professionalism, and whom we can rely on.”

J. Price Cameron III · Chief Operating Officer · Hughes Commercial Properties

“They are a company that demonstrates great professionalism in all interactions. They run a crew that maintained our high expectations. The supervisors are easy to work with and communicate if there are any changes or issues which may arise. When changes have to be made to accommodate the project, they are ready to find solutions to maintain a smooth operation of the construction schedule.”

Cheryl Daniels · McCormick CPW

“Not only did we appreciate the professionalism and responsiveness of the Harper personnel involved with the project, but we also enjoyed building relationships with tradespeople at the job site. We can truly say that our parish embraced this opportunity to watch the detailed work that went into Harper Corporation’s physical restoration of our historic church and to share in the experience of restoration in our lives.”

The Reverend Dr. Harrison McLeod · Reverend · Christ Church Episcopal

“The project was plagued by an unseasonably wet winter which made the onsite conditions challenging for installing foundations. Additionally, the entire project team endured setbacks while working through the COVID-19 Pandemic. Despite the adversities, Harper remained committed to meet Athletics’ completion deadline. Their willingness to work through the issues with a positive spirit, their collaboration with the design team, and their open communication were critical components to achieve their completion date. All these aspects of professionalism were exhibited by the entire Harper team.”

Tommi Jones, PE, LEED AP, GGP · Project Manager/Capital Projects · Clemson University

“They are engaged, honest, trustworthy, and stand behind their work. All of the projects that we have worked on together have been on time and under budget. Harper renovated Neville Hall which is the most historic building on campus. They uncovered many things behind the walls of historic Neville Hall and demonstrated a commitment to fine quality in every detail of their work. Neville Hall is now a state of the art academic building in the heart of campus.”

Susan A. Maddux · Former VP for Finance and Administration · Presbyterian College

“Over the 50+ projects I’ve worked on, Harper was the BEST GC I’ve worked with.”
