In 1973, Jeffrey Widness decided to venture out into business for himself. He noticed a shortage in smaller contractors that would take on home projects that the larger construction companies didn’t have time for. With this idea in mind, he began his company in northern Minnesota and focused on home repairs and projects that were often skipped over by others. After many projects and years of hard work, HMI began expanding to the next level of the construction industry.
In 1975, HMI expanded into the world of aviation. With the aviation industry requiring efficient, professional and high-quality work, HMI worked to become one of the leading companies for specialty aviation projects. From installing crucial ground-to-air navigation systems and installing arresting systems not only at commercial airports, but also at military installations across our nation, HMI quickly rose to being a prime choice for this line of work. As these projects require perfection and extreme professionalism, we are proud to say that we have been excelling in high-quality and high-stakes projects for over 50 years.
As the crew of HMI began to grow, the professional and efficient reputation of the company began to become well-known. The main focus of our work quickly became structural concrete, and we have completed many substantial projects containing retaining walls, commercial buildings, schools and more. Our precision and attention to detail makes us stand out among others, and our concrete work has made us known for long lasting products and well performed projects. We pride ourselves on being one of the best in the industry, and always having a solution for any questions or issues that arise throughout a project. Here at HMI, we strive to complete our work to the best possible level, as well as being as efficient as possible to help jobs run smoothly.
With over 50 years of experience, we have built a company that is based on integrity, high-quality work and professionalism, with a focus on keeping clients at the front of the equation with personal and exceptional service. We value our employees, our relationships with other contractors and clients, and the value of a job well done, and we strive to always leave a job better than expected. We’re the kind of people who stay on the site to do what it takes to get the project done on time. With our crew and their drive to complete every project not only the right way, but the most efficient and professional way possible, our work is the best around. We are ready to build relationships and more with you.
