Our Story
Shield Construction was founded in 2019 by Jesse LoScudo with a clear mission: to bring engineering precision and unwavering integrity to residential construction in the Ooltewah and greater Chattanooga area. What sets us apart is the unique combination of extensive engineering expertise and hands-on craftsmanship that goes into every project we undertake.
With over 10 years of experience as an engineer before launching Shield Construction, Jesse brings a level of technical knowledge and attention to detail that is rare in the construction industry. This engineering background ensures that every home renovation, addition, and custom build project is not only beautiful but also structurally sound and built to last for generations.
At Shield Construction, we understand that your home is more than just a building, it's where your family creates memories, where you find comfort after a long day, and often your most significant investment. That's why we approach every project with the same care and attention we would give to our own homes. From the initial consultation through the final walkthrough, we're committed to transparent communication, quality workmanship, and exceeding your expectations.
Our commitment to Quality, Service, and Integrity isn't just a tagline, it's the foundation of everything we do. We take pride in being a local Ooltewah business that serves our community with honesty, reliability, and exceptional craftsmanship. Whether you're planning a kitchen renovation, a home addition, or building your dream custom home, Shield Construction is here to guide you through every step of the process with expertise you can trust.
