Our personnel are committed to ‘Achieving Quality' work at a fair price and we realize that customer satisfaction is the keystone our reputation has been built upon.

The history of E.T. Gresham Company is one of those rare stories of a remarkable entrepreneur and the company that now continues his legacy. The year was 1916. Amid the turbulence of the First World War, Virginia's Port of Norfolk was growing by leaps and bounds. It was here that Earl Thomas (ET) Gresham, a young transplanted coal salesman, settled with his bride and founded the company that still bears his name. In those early days, construction materials were delivered by horse-drawn wagon. Sensing an opportunity for improvement, ET traded in his car as down payment on one of the area's first motor trucks and embarked upon a successful hauling operation.

E.T. GRESHAM COMPANY, INC. (Gresham) is a lean and assertive player in the quality commercial construction market. Gresham has a proven track record of successfully developing projects through teaming approaches with Owners and Architects to bring the project in below the metrics and above stakeholder expectations. We are familiar with the soils, governments, design community, and local construction skill pool within the mid-Atlantic region, particularly southeast Virginia, northeast North Carolina, and Virginia's Eastern Shore.
