Since 1914 Johnson & Galyon Construction has served the Knoxville area and East Tennessee providing Construction Management, General Contracting, and Design Build services for the Healthcare, Higher Education, Primary & Secondary Education K-12, and Commercial building sectors.
Johnson & Galyon has been in continuous operation in Knoxville as a general contractor and builder of custom homes since 1914. Founded by A.H. Whisman, the firmās ownership evolved to W.K. Johnson, who joined the firm as a bookkeeper and J.E. Willard, a respected civil engineer. In those days the firm was known as Johnson & Willard. In 1942, E.L. Galyon joined the company as an estimator and the company later became Johnson & Galyon, a term synonymous with the highest levels of construction quality, tradition and innovations.
Today, Johnson & Galyon continues to be a Knoxville-based, employee-owned company. Our staff includes professional engineers, accountants and architects, proven superintendents and foreman, as well as skilled craftsmen.
Our company is built on repeat business with several relationships spanning more than 80 years.
