Burton Construction

In the mid 70's Jerry was a partner in a small construction company, Century Builders, in the Los Angeles area.  Here he learned the remodeling business and the hands-on trades of framing, concrete, masonry, roofing, and other construction services. In April of 1976, Jerry moved his family to the Spokane, Washington  area and worked for others in construction before starting his own company.

Jerry Burton Construction was established in 1978 as a sole proprietorship.  During the early years the company focused on residential construction.  In 1992, Jerry Burton Construction entered into the Public Works and Federal Contracting arenas.  Finally, in May of 1997, the company incorporated in the State of Washington under the name of Burton Construction, Inc. (BCI).

Today, BCI operates almost exclusively in the Public Works and Federal Contracting arenas.  In the beginning, the hub of our construction activities was in our own backyard in the Pacific Northwest; serving customers in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.  Over the last decade we significantly expanded our customer base including the geographic area where we provide our services.  Also, our résumé  includes projects  in Alaska,  Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, and  the United States Territory of Guam. 

From the top of the world in Barrow, Alaska to the rainy shores of Guam, the nature of the construction industry requires that our team be dynamic; fluid and flexible.  However, Jerry's  philosophy remains the same.  “We surround ourselves with quality people. We work as a team. When we succeed, it’s because everybody contributed to that project.”
