Hobgood Construction _____________________________________________________________________________________

Since its founding in 1990, Hobgood Construction has operated with confidence rooted in consistency. Established by Wilbur Hobgood, the firm has long been defined by a disciplined approach to building and a belief that quality, above all, endures – a foundation that now carries forward through the next generation.

In 2025, David Hobgood assumed ownership of the company after decades spent working alongside his father. It was less a transition than a continuation shaped over time, in close collaboration on projects, where the principles of the business were not just taught, but lived. Now, as the business continues to grow and flourish across some of South Florida’ s most prestigious communities, Modern Home Builders sits down with David to learn more about the company’ s journey thus far and uncover the secrets behind its lasting success.
“ My father started the business around 40 years ago; he’ s built it from the ground up,” David reflects, recounting the business’ heritage.“ I’ ve been fortunate to grow up in it. Over the years, you begin to understand that this work is about more than construction. It’ s about people, and the responsibility that comes with building something so personal. Our culture is centered around a shared commitment to quality. We’ ve created a team environment where people take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy being part of the process. Over the decades, we’ ve grown the business together, not just in terms of size but in terms of the quality of work and the types of projects that we take on.
