About John

John Hennis has been working around construction sites his entire life. His father, Pat Hennis has over 40 years’ experience in the construction industry, and owns Phoenix Construction LLC in Lexington, Virginia. John started off as a laborer hauling boards and cleaning up the job site in middle school. Once John reached high school, he started on the crew of carpenters learning various trades. John learned the home building trades from many seasoned professionals throughout his experience while working as an integral part of the Phoenix Construction crew. While in college, John also spent time working for a cabinet shop where he sharpened his carpentry skills, and also worked for a large commercial masonry company to learn yet another trade. John attended Brevard College and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management.

 

After college, John returned to Phoenix Construction as a Project Manager and lead carpenter. John was transferred to Phoenix’s Daytona Beach branch to complete an office building and production facility for McNeil Sign. After completing the McNeil Signs project, John transferred back to his home town of Lexington, Virginia where he built a large custom home for Kappa Alpha Order’s national headquarters. In the following years while building for Phoenix Construction LLC, John completed a custom home in Lexington, remodeled a bathroom at an Elementary school, as well as several historic restoration, remodeling, and addition projects. John’s most impressive project while working for Phoenix Construction was a custom “Snowbird Chapel” in Amherst, Virginia. This amazing chapel was customized in every aspect, and serves as a private place of worship for the customer and their family.

 

John moved to Charleston in the fall of 2012 to pursue a change of pace and scenery. John has completed many small projects around the Charleston area over the past years, and has worked as the Director of Operations for Vintage Porch Swings LLC on Johns Island. John is married to his beautiful wife, Tori, and they have a chocolate Lab named Bocephus and two young sons. John is a licensed, bonded and insured Residential Builder.
