About Nehemiah

We Build Where
We Live.

Nehemiah Construction isn't a franchise. We're not headquartered somewhere else. This is home. Chanch Edwards — licensed general contractor, licensed electrician, and Monroe native — built this company to serve the communities he grew up in.

From kitchen renovations in Walton County to commercial build-outs in Athens to custom homes along Lake Oconee, we've earned our reputation one project and one neighbor at a time. Named after the biblical builder who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls, we bring that same integrity to every job.

When you hire Nehemiah, you're not just hiring a contractor — you're working with someone who lives down the road and stakes his name on the result.

Why Nehemiah

Your Neighbor.
Your Contractor.
Your Guarantee.

When you hire a contractor who lives in your community, accountability isn't optional — it's personal. We see our clients at the grocery store, at church, at Friday night football. That's why every project gets our best.

Dual Licensed

General contractor + electrician. Fewer subs, faster timelines, one person accountable.

Transparent Budgets

Every dollar accounted for before we start. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

Faith-Driven Values

Named after the biblical builder who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls. Integrity isn't a marketing word — it's how we operate.

On-Time Delivery

We set a timeline and we hit it. Your life doesn't stop for a renovation — we respect that.
