Why Freeland?

At Freeland Contracting Company, we believe our people are the foundation of our success.

Since 1991, Freeland has built a reputation throughout Central Ohio for exceptional workmanship, customer-focused service, and dependable project delivery across commercial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, and industrial markets. We are committed to developing talented professionals and creating long‑term career opportunities for individuals who want to make an impact.

Unlike many contractors, Freeland invests heavily in workforce development, including operating one of Ohio's few plumbing‑specific apprenticeship programs. We believe in promoting from within, supporting professional growth, and providing employees with the tools and leadership needed to succeed.
