Randy Laird, a Class "A" Licensed General Contractor, virtually grew up in the building business! Born and raised in Battle Creek, Michigan, Randy is the fourth generation of custom home builders for the Laird family. After earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction at Michigan State University, Randy moved to Florida and began his 27 year career as a builder in the Tampa Bay area. Randy has designed and built a vast selection of custom homes, ranging in concept from 2,000 sq. ft. to 12,000 sq. ft.. While his most recent work may be viewed in the Historic NE St. Petersburg area, and the SoHo District of Tampa, other examples can be found on Clearwater Beach, at the Bayou Club, at Cypress Run Country Club.

Randy enjoys every phase of the custom home building process, from design to the detailed finished product. His meticulous attention to construction detail, coupled with his complete awareness of the myriad of rules and regulations from the various governing agencies, insures complete customer satisfaction - Randy’s number one goal!

Randy is a member of the Tampa Bay Builders Association, Florida Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. Randy is a member of the 2-10 Home Buyer Warranty Program and a licensed commercial pool contractor. He monitors the constantly changing building world through the various industry publications he receives weekly, researching new products and techniques prior to implementation on one of his homes.


Randy lives in one of his earlier homes with his wife, an ice skating instructor (yes, in Florida!). Their daughter is at University of Central Florida, studying to be an elementary school teacher.

Ed Henderson

Ed graduated from University of Central Arkansas with a BS in 1982. He has been involved in the Florida construction industry since moving to the Tampa Bay area in 1983, and is presently a state certified general contractor and President of Henderson Contracting, Inc. ...a company specializing in construction management and construction of residential properties. Ed is also a Florida certified mold technician and is working toward national certification as a residential home inspector.

He spent over 10 years managing construction sites for one of the top 5 large national production home builders. In addition, he has built completely custom homes over 8,500 square feet in size.

Being the 5th generation in his family to make carpentry/contracting a career has special meaning for Ed. His philosophy is to take "pride in craftsmanship because it's the quality that counts - not how many you do, but how well you do each one". He reads trade journals to keep up to date on changing products, technologies, codes and "healthy home" safety issues. He feels communication is the most important service tool that we provide our customers.

A resident of Palm Harbor for over 20 years, Ed has two daughters, the oldest a junior at USF majoring in environmental and political science, and the younger starting Palm Harbor University High in the fall of 2004.
