About Us

Rooted in Shenandoah.
Built on Trust.

Charlie's Backhoe & Construction Service has been a trusted name in Shenandoah and the surrounding Valley communities for over a decade. What started as a one-man operation with a single machine has grown into a full-service construction company known for showing up on time, doing the job right, and leaving every site cleaner than we found it.

We're a local business. We know the soil, the weather patterns, and the building codes that matter here. That means fewer surprises and a finished project that stands up to the test of time — whether it's a residential driveway, a commercial foundation, or a drainage solution that actually works.
