Hopkins & Wayson General Contractors

What Hopkins & Wayson General Contractors does

Hopkins & Wayson is a family-owned commercial general contractor founded in 1935 and headquartered in Owings, Maryland. The firm provides end-to-end general construction and building renovation services for enterprise clients across four primary verticals: convenience stores (Royal Farms, Wawa, 7-Eleven, Dash In), quick serve restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell), retail/grocery (Aldi, Harris Teeter, Giant Food, Safeway), and institutional/government facilities. Across 91 years of continuous operation, the company has completed more than 2,000 projects in the Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.), reporting an 85% client return rate that anchors revenue through repeat multi-site work.

The business operates on a project-based revenue model with custom fixed-price or cost-plus contracts; no standard tiered pricing exists and all quotes are negotiated individually based on scope. GTM is relationship-driven direct enterprise sales led by President Brian Hall and VP Eric Hall, with no channel partners, resellers, or formal bid processes. There is no proprietary technology platform — the firm's differentiation rests on construction expertise, trade coordination, deep local permitting knowledge, and disciplined preconstruction processes refined over four generations of family ownership. The leadership team blends long-tenured operators (Treasurer Kristine Wojciechowski at 15 years; Project Manager Steven Shaffer at 18 years) with a next-generation VP, and the company maintains an average team tenure of 12+ years.
