Your Local Home Building Experts with Decades of Experience
At Blue Hen Construction, we pride ourselves on being trusted home builders. Since 2008, we have delivered exceptional homes for families in Kent and Sussex Counties. Founders Darrin and Laura Simpson believed sincerely in their community and team, so much so that they established Blue Hen Construction shortly after the housing bubble burst.
A key member of our team, Garry Manaraze, has been with us from the outset. Darrin and Garry first worked together in the mid-1990s for an area homebuilder before moving on to Lacrosse Homes of Delaware, where Darrin served as Delaware Division Manager and Garry as Project Superintendent. With over two decades of collaboration, these home building experts continue to turn the dreams of local homebuyers into reality, solidifying Blue Hen Construction’s reputation as home construction specialists.
An Energetic Team That Cares
Since joining Blue Hen Construction full-time in 2011, Laura has played a pivotal role in our success. While she initially focused on marketing, her role has shifted to sales and plan development. She takes great pride in guiding homebuyers through the selection of the finishing touches that make their homes truly unique.
Garry’s sons, Cameron and Casamaro (Caz), have joined as skilled carpenters. They bring their own expertise and dedication to delivering high-quality craftsmanship.
Expanding to Better Serve Our Clients
Blue Hen Construction’s growth has been steady and purposeful. After seven years as a home-based operation, we moved into our office and Design Center Showroom in 2017 at 1 Dorman St. in Harrington, Delaware. This space showcases our commitment to serving our clients as trusted home builders who deliver high-quality homes and personalized service.
