OUR HISTORY
FOUNDED - 1911
Hof Construction, a sole proprietorship, was founded in 1911 by Fred Hof, owner and operator with the administrative headquarters located at 6602 Hoffman Avenue in the St. Louis Hills neighborhood.
A NEW SPACE - 1951
The office moved three addresses to the west to 6614 Hoffman to add more space to help facilitate growth in order to support larger projects and additional support staff.
CHANGE & GROWTH - 1976
As the third generation began to assume management positions, the business entity changed to a corporation and subsequently moved one block west to the current headquarters at 3137 Jamieson Ave.
TODAY
Hof Construction remains a privately held general construction firm with projects ranging in size between 100K to 10M. With extensive experience in both new construction & major remodeling, Hof Construction will complete your project on-time and on-budget.
