dedication to service

At Lawler Construction Inc., dedication to craftsmanship and customer service runs deep. Serving Sedona, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and the greater Verde Valley for over 37 years, this family-owned business has earned a reputation as one of Northern Arizona’s most trusted custom home builders and general contractors. Founder Jim Lawler discovered his passion for construction at age 19, learning the trade from respected builders across the Verde Valley and the importance of lasting relationships from his father, a longtime local plumbing contractor. By age 26, Jim was managing full-scale home construction projects and laying the groundwork for what would become a legacy of quality in Verde Valley construction. Together with his wife, Cindy, the Lawlers built their business on the principles of Good Service, Good Value, and Good Quality. Whether building custom homes in Sedona, renovating properties in Cottonwood, or managing development projects in Clarkdale, Lawler Construction delivers outstanding results while keeping costs reasonable and quality uncompromised. Their deep roots in the Verde Valley community, combined with hands-on experience and personalized service, have made them the go-to choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and experienced general contractor in Northern Arizona. Today, Lawler Construction is a leader in energy-efficient, high-performance homebuilding. As proud ENERGYSTAR® Partners and invitees to ProBuild’s ProEarth University, Jim and his son Patrick continue to invest in cutting-edge building science, green materials, and sustainable construction practices. These innovations translate into healthier, longer-lasting homes designed for modern living in the high-desert environment of Sedona and beyond. With a track record of weathering economic downturns and maintaining a loyal base of return clients, Lawler Construction has proven its commitment to enduring quality. As Jim says, “I love building homes—every part of it.” That passion is evident in every home they build, making Lawler Construction Inc. the premier builder for Sedona, Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and the Verde Valley.
