Hometown Construction Named Business of the Year by Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce

Baldwin City, KS — Hometown Construction has been named Business of the Year by the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce.

For a locally owned roofing and siding company built on faith, craftsmanship, and community commitment, the recognition carries deep meaning.

Four years ago, when Hometown Construction was founded in Baldwin City, the vision was simple but unwavering: build a company that does the right thing; even when it is harder, slower, and more expensive.

There was faith that homeowners would care about the details.

Faith that proper roof installation would matter and would make a difference.

Faith that integrity and transparency would shine through.

This award reinforces that belief.

Since its founding, Hometown Construction has grown into a trusted roofing and siding contractor serving Baldwin City, Douglas County, and surrounding communities. The company’s approach has never centered on being the biggest, only on being the most dependable.

Rather than cutting corners, the focus has remained on:

• Doing the small things correctly

• Educating homeowners 

• Following manufacturer specifications

• Prioritizing safety and code compliance

• Commitment to proper on-site management 

• Treating every home like it belongs to a neighbor

That philosophy has shaped not only the company’s work in roofing, siding, and exterior restoration, but also its role within the community.

The Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce plays a vital role in fostering those connections. Through consistent engagement, advocacy, and collaboration among local businesses, the Chamber strengthens the fabric of Baldwin City itself.

“We started this company believing that integrity, craftsmanship, and community would still matter,” said Jarad Christian, Owner of Hometown Construction. “This recognition reminds us that doing the right thing, even when it's harder and more costly, still leads to success.”

While the Business of the Year award marks a significant milestone, it is not viewed as a finish line.

Hometown Construction remains committed to growing responsibly as a Baldwin City roofing and siding company, and reinvesting that growth back into the community that makes it possible. The more the company grows, the more it intends to support local families, partner with other businesses, and encourage others to raise the standard as well.

It's because when a hometown business succeeds, it should lift the entire hometown with it.
