Hayden Construction Co. was established by Vincent B. Hayden, Jr. in 1960. Vince was a mason, and his first job as an owner was a basement for Chester Claypool. This was followed by a home for Johnny Wathen, and Hayden Construction soon began to build both residential and commercial buildings in Owensboro and around Kentucky.
An incomplete listing of jobs by Hayden Construction in the 1960's and 70's includes the Old Stanley Distillery ('62), St. Pius Tenth rectory ('62), Mary Carrico school ('63), St. Mary's school in Whitesville ('64), St. Pius Tenth school ('65), twenty-two nursing homes in Kentucky, the Carmel Home ('67), Immaculate Catholic Church ('67), Kings department store ('68), Mullen & Haynes ('72), and a major addition to Hon Co. ('78).
Vince's son, Steve, joined his father full-time upon graduation from high school in 1982. Vince's son-in-law, Rick Isbill, also joined the business in the mid 80's. Steve does everything from operating equipment to installing roads and sewers to framing and finish work. Some of the jobs in the last 25 years include Wyndall's on Highway 54, Villa Point, Halifax Square, Fountain Square, the Boatman, Staples, Blockbuster Video stores, strip stores on Frederica Street, the development of Fox Chase subdivision, additions to West Irving Die Cast and Hon Co., both Tapp Motors buildings, Paradise Landing, and their current project on Frederica Street for Gavin Roberts.
Vince also built, owned and operated two hotels in the 1990's, Days Inn Beaver Dam, KY and Springfield, KY. His daughter, Donna Hayden Howard, worked as the director of hotels.
Steve and Rick, as H & I Development Co., own 1/2 acre lots on Vincent Station Drive, a light industrial park. The development houses such businesses as Watts Bros. Cable, Spectrum Trucking, Perfect Patterns, and Foster Enterprises. The area is poised for explosive growth as the new hospital is built across the road on 160 acres.
Hayden Construction Co. does it all, from remodeling to multi-million dollar projects. Steve operates everything from bobcat loaders to D8 dozers. Call them today for a quote on a job! Print this post
