The experience that Russell Hall’s background brings to the business is unlike most. He grew up around the business helping his late grandfather around jobsites, learning the basics. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Construction from Texas State University. Worked as an intern on the rehabil itation of the Palacio de la Musica, in Madrid, Spain. After interning in Spain, he worked for one of the largest Aviation, Commercial & Government General Contractors in the Nation. Russell feels very blessed to be able to share and instill his experiences in his teams of trade partners to produce the highest quality custom homes and remodels as budgets allow. Russell believes their attention to detail makes Hall Construc tion unique. Their homes are 100% tailored to the cli ent’s wants, needs, and budget. Every detail from the floor plan, engineering of the foundation and framing, to all the interior and exterior finishes, are specific to each home they build, and no two homes are the same.
