Who we are
Ferry Construction & Excavation is Hayden Ferry's company, based in St. Joseph, MO.
We started the business digging: grading lots, cutting trenches, moving dirt. That's still the core of the work and it's why excavation is in the name. Over time we grew into the building side too, framing houses, setting roofs, building decks and porches, putting up fence, and going inside for remodeling work. One crew, one call, from the dirt to the finished room.
We take jobs from St. Joseph south through the Northland and across the Kansas City metro. If you've got a lot that needs grading, a trench that needs digging, a roof that needs looking at, or a bathroom that needs to come apart and go back together, that's the kind of work we do. A single afternoon of trenching or a full framing build gets the same crew, start to finish.
