OUR HISTORY

ROOTED IN CHESAPEAKE, VA.

The Kennedy Company of VA, Inc. was founded in 1987 by Barbara Kennedy as a small, family-owned contracting business.

The company's first project was cleaning trash from a lake.

With civil engineer Kurt Kennedy alongside Barbara, the company expanded into Department of Transportation work.

Over the years, The Kennedy Company of VA, Inc. has evolved and grown. Today, our focus and expertise are in tunnel facilities, movable bridges, underground utilities, jet fan systems, and specialized mechanical infrastructure throughout Hampton Roads and surrounding areas.

Nearly four decades later, The Kennedy Company remains family owned, bringing the same hands-on approach to specialized tunnel, bridge, utility, mechanical, and infrastructure work.

FAMILY OWNED

MORE THAN A
COMPANY.
A FAMILY LEGACY.

A family committed to doing the work right —
for our clients, our community, and each other.

From the beginning, The Kennedy Company of VA, Inc. has been built around family. The business has grown, the work has changed, and another generation has become part of the company — but the values behind it have remained the same.

We take pride in our work because our name is on it. That means showing up, solving problems, standing behind what we build, and building relationships that last.
