About Verum
Every successful business has a “how we started” story. Ours began on a wooded property right here in Washington. Fortunately, our parents allowed us to explore at will (once our chores were done that is). Eventually, we gravitated to building whatever caught our imagination. Before long, we built enough tree forts, bike jumps, and ramps to thin the forest on our parent’s property. Once, we even built a log cabin we could sleep in. Looking back, that was our first major building project!
As a family-owned company with more than 30 years of construction experience, those early days have grown in importance. Over the years, we've learned to appreciate the differences and talents between us. We have come to realize that it’s our shared, creative roots that gave Verum such a solid start. Today, it’s our growing families that drive us forward as they unknowingly push us to do our best each day, stand by our word, and be true to our craft.
We started this company on the principle that we can abundantly serve our customers, employees, and families. When asked just how we implement that, the well known phrase "live your truth" comes to mind. We do our best to live ours every day through the quality of the projects we build and the way we help people achieve their goals. Best of all, we have fun doing it!
So What Does 'Verum' Mean Anyway?
When Verum Construction officially started, choosing the perfect business name was very important to us. We needed a name that would serve as a daily reminder of who we are and what we stand for. Verum, the Latin word for truth, expresses our aspirational goals perfectly. As a family and a company, we are committed to truth: truth when it comes to building, our team, our clients, our actions, and the quality of our craft.
The Verum Team Has a Shared Mission:
• To go above and beyond to meet or exceed expectations.
• Transparency – to be honest and straightforward.
• To provide opportunities for our employees to grow and thrive.
• To help people achieve their home improvement goals, and have fun doing it!
Our crew is your crew. When your goal is to have a home that you can be proud of, you need people you can trust on the job. People who infuse their craftsmanship, integrity, and ingenuity into each project to bring families comfort and enjoyment. You need Verum Construction. Meet our crew below.
