The CWP Story
The CWP story began in 1993, when Jerry Foley established CWP — Carpentry With Perfection. More than three decades later, those founding principles of craftsmanship, integrity, and personal commitment remain at the heart of CWP Construction LLC, a Virginia Class A General Contracting company.
Today, CWP is a family-owned, two-generation company specializing in Design-Build, Historic Restoration, Commercial & Residential Construction, Accessible Design, and Complex Projects throughout Northern and Western Virginia.
We are old-school in many ways. We believe in knowing our clients, being present on our jobs, working through problems together, and taking responsibility for the details. You may still receive a handwritten proposal or see an idea take shape through hand-drawn blueprints and sketches. At the same time, we embrace modern technology, building science, energy-efficient practices, and innovative construction methods when they make a project better.
Family is at the foundation of CWP. It shapes how we work, how we treat people, and how we think about the spaces we create. We believe in thoughtful, accessible design that can adapt to changing needs and serve families, businesses, and communities well for generations.
Over the years, that sense of family has grown to include longstanding relationships with trusted architects, designers, engineers, craftsmen, and specialty contractors—many of whom we have worked alongside for decades and have come to consider part of the CWP family. Those relationships, built on trust, respect, and a shared pride in doing things well, are an important part of who we are.
We also have a genuine appreciation for what came before us. Historic buildings, old-growth materials, traditional craftsmanship, and even classic vehicles remind us that things built with care are worth preserving. Whenever possible, we look for thoughtful ways to restore, reuse, adapt, and improve rather than simply replace—respecting both the history of a structure and the environment around it.
For us, good construction isn't only about what works today. It's about respecting the past, building responsibly for the present, and considering the generations that will follow.
Old-school values. Modern capabilities. A family commitment to building things that last.
