Hi. I'm Zach. I started Wilson Way because I got tired of watching homeowners get burned.
I'm a carpenter by trade. I run a 15-person crew. If you hire us, you'll talk to me directly — my cell phone, not a call center.
I got tired of working for contractors I didn't respect.
I spent a decade working for other GCs — bigger firms, smaller firms, the kind that bid low and change-order their way to profit. I watched the same pattern repeat: homeowner gets a great quote, mid-build the costs climb, the work gets sloppy, and the crew disappears as soon as the last invoice clears.
In 2017 I started Wilson Way from my garage with two other guys. We had a deal: do exactly what we said we would, when we said we would, at the price we agreed to. Eight years later we have 15 full-time crew, hundreds of projects, and a 5.0 Google rating. Same deal.
I'm still on every job site at least once a week. I'm still the one who walks your house for the consult. I'm still the one who answers when you call.
Four things Wilson Way won't compromise on.
These aren't slogans. They're how we hire, how we bid, and how we run every job site.
Be the contractor you wish you could hire.
I started Wilson Way after watching too many homeowners get burned by guys who disappeared mid-job, padded invoices, and left sites a mess. The fix is simple: do exactly what you said you'd do, when you said you'd do it.
The crew matters more than the contract.
Our 15-person crew has been with us for years. We hire slow, train hard, and pay well. The person framing your addition is on our payroll, not a stranger's subcontractor list.
Small enough to care, big enough to finish.
We say no to work we can't do well. We won't take three projects at once and juggle subs across all of them. When we're working with you, we're working with you.
The dust settles. The work has to last.
A remodel is invasive. We treat your house like our own — end-of-day cleanup, protected floors, kept driveways. Three years later, every finish should still look new.
I'm a Louisville native, dad of two, and the guy who'll show up at 7am when you have a question.
I live in St. Matthews. My kids go to school here. Our reputation in this town is the only marketing that matters to me. Every Wilson Way project gets my name on the line.
I'm on the HBA Louisville board. I sponsor the local little league. We hire our crew from the same neighborhoods we build in.
When you call me, you'll get me. Not a sales rep, not a project manager who's juggling 14 jobs at once, not a voicemail tree. Me.

The fastest way to start is a 30-minute call with me.
