Laurel MS Home Builder & General Contractor | Ridgeway Homes

Business Profile

Since 1960, Ridgeway Homes has served Laurel and the surrounding Pine Belt as a trusted general contractor, home developer, and damage restoration specialist. Founded by J.W. Ridgeway Sr., the company relocated from Butler, Alabama to Laurel, Mississippi after recognizing the need for quality construction and housing in the region. In 2005, Ridgeway Homes was established to focus exclusively on single-family homeowners, offering custom home designs, remodeling, and new structure construction. Today, under the leadership of Vice President John Ridgeway—who has worked his way up from fetching water on job sites to overseeing operations—the company provides a comprehensive suite of services including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, building additions, guest house/ADU construction, manufactured and modular homes, and multi-family developments. For residents of Laurel, Ridgeway Homes excels at addressing common local problems like water damage from plumbing slab leaks, sump pump failures, window leaks, and wet insulation. Their team provides rapid, thorough restoration to minimize disruption. Conveniently located near downtown Laurel and landmarks such as the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, they serve neighborhoods like Oak Park and West Laurel with a commitment to quality that has kept customers satisfied for decades.
