What Nunn's Construction Co. Inc does

Nunn's Construction Co. Inc is a family-owned commercial general contractor and industrial services provider headquartered in Paragould, Arkansas, founded in 1978 by Tollie Sue and Eugene Nunn and currently operated by their son Blaine Nunn. The company delivers a vertically integrated portfolio across general contracting, commercial electrical work, steel building construction, overhead crane installation and systems, turn-key rigging and maintenance, heavy equipment loading/unloading, machinery moving, and metal fabrication (stairs, mezzanines, catwalks), plus PLC troubleshooting and automation control design and installation. It also serves as an authorized dealer for Shannahan Crane & Hoist and Gorbel, providing equipment supply alongside installation. All services are delivered with in-house engineering and permit handling, 24/7 emergency availability, and a "job sites left clean" operating standard.

The company serves commercial and industrial clients across 23 communities in Northeast Arkansas, including Jonesboro, Paragould, and surrounding smaller markets. Revenue mechanics are project-based professional services contracts with quote-driven pricing; free same-day quotes are offered and no public pricing tiers exist. Go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales via phone, request-quote forms, and project consultations, supplemented by content marketing (company blog), customer reviews, and Chamber of Commerce memberships. Customer concentration appears distributed across construction, manufacturing/industrial, energy/utilities, mining, and agriculture verticals, with each engagement handled as a discrete project rather than recurring SaaS-style contracts. The capital-intensive equipment base (own crane fleet, rigging tools, transport equipment) and 45+ years of operational experience form the foundation of the business, while family ownership preserves operational independence.
