About Us

Staying True to Our Family Roots

D&J Construction was founded in Richmond, Texas by Dionicio and Irma Hernandez in 2001. Originating as a small family business, D&J served as a subcontractor for small projects. In 2005, the company was incorporated and expanded into larger markets as their team grew. By 2007, D&J began competitively bidding on road construction projects for large residential areas.

Since then, D&J has experienced rapid growth and now operates throughout the state of Texas. Today, D&J Construction still holds true to its family roots and still serves a loyal client base despite experiencing exponential growth. D&J is always planning for the future and is currently expanding into national markets. No matter the project, D&J Construction is always prepared. With a rich history and promising future, there has never been a better time to partner with D&J Construction than now.

The safety of our team and those who use our roads is our first priority. We put great thought and planning into our work to ensure that our roadways are constructed and used in the safest way possible.

Integrity

We understand that our decisions and actions affect others on a daily basis. That is why we keep an empty chair at every one of our meetings. This empty seat represents the people and environments that are affected by our choices and reminds us of our responsibility to ethical behavior.
