This month, Harbor Contracting marks 40 years in business.
What began as a small construction company in Mount Pleasant has grown into a trusted partner for medical, dental, veterinary, office, retail, industrial, and church projects across the Lowcountry.
The real story of Harbor has never been just about buildings. It has been about people. Clients who return to us project after project. Architects and engineers who collaborate with us to bring visions to life. Subcontractors and partners who share our commitment to quality. And a team that shows up every day to make sure each project is completed with care.
To mark this milestone, Harbor partnered with Gritty Gal Marketing, who developed the concept and design for our 40th anniversary logo. Featuring a live oak tree, the design reflects Harbor’s roots in the Lowcountry, our strength and stability, and the lasting relationships that have carried us through four decades. Its roots symbolize how firmly we are grounded in the community we serve, while its branches reflect our growth and continued commitment to building for the future.
Owner Pete McKellar puts it simply:
Life is too short for a bad construction experience. For 40 years, Harbor has focused on making the process as smooth and exciting as possible for our clients. The buildings stand as proof of our work, but it is the trust and relationships we build that truly last.
As we celebrate this milestone, our focus remains the same as it was on day one: building with integrity, precision, and partnership. Forty years in, we are proud of the work behind us and excited for the projects, relationships, and opportunities still to come.
