Our story

A name that goes back generations

It runs in the blood
The roots

It runs in the blood

Building is in the Whitis blood. Before Whitis Contracting, there was Whitis Construction, and before that, a family of framers and craftsmen who helped frame homes across the region, including work for some of Central Kentucky's best-known builders.

The standard we grew up on
The standard

The standard we grew up on

Ethan grew up around the trade, learning what solid work looks like long before it became his own company. That is where the standard came from, and it is the same standard we hold every crew to today. More than fifty years of building experience runs through this team, and you feel it in the details.

A better way to build

We started Whitis Contracting to do things a better way. Homes built by the people who actually swing the hammers, priced honestly up front, and delivered without the surprises that give building a bad name.

What we stand for

The way we build says everything

Our mission is simple. We are committed to excellence, safety, and integrity in every project we take on. We value our people, our partners, and our community, building with craftsmanship, accountability, and trust that endures.

The difference

Not your average builder

Most of what goes wrong on a build comes down to two things: a budget that balloons and a builder who disappears once the contract is signed. We built our entire process to make sure neither happens to you.

01
In-house

We keep the work in-house

Our own crews handle the site work, the framing, and the build, which means we control the quality and the schedule instead of leaving it to whoever happens to be available.

02
Fixed price

We price honestly

With a fixed-price contract, the numbers are the numbers. No open-book guessing, no watching your budget climb tens of thousands halfway through.

03
BuilderTrend

We keep you in the loop

Through BuilderTrend, your daily logs, photos, selections, and schedule live in one place, so you can follow every step without chasing anyone.

Meet the team

The people behind every build

We are a tight-knit, family-owned crew that treats your home like our own. From the first walkthrough to the final finish, you work with the same people who design, plan, and build your project from the ground up.
