Lee Builders
Huntsville, Alabama
Huntsville commercial and residential general contractor operating since 1984.
About
Lee Builders has operated as a Huntsville-based general contractor since 1984 — a mid-sized firm that takes both commercial and residential work, which is less common than firms specialized in one or the other. The dual scope works for clients who want one contractor for projects that mix uses (live-work spaces, commercial-with-residential-component projects, and retrofits).
The four-decade track record covers the full arc of modern Huntsville construction — from the city's mid-1980s growth phase through the 2010s aerospace and research-driven expansion. The firm's experience spans commercial buildings, custom residential, mixed-use development, and renovation work across Huntsville and north Alabama.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Lee Builders do both commercial and residential?
Lee Builders covers both commercial and residential GC work, which is less common than firms focused on one or the other. The model fits clients with mixed-use needs — small businesses building offices with adjacent owner residences, custom-home clients later expanding into commercial development, and renovation projects that touch both uses.
What's the residential scope?
Lee Builders handles custom residential — primarily new home construction and significant renovations rather than small remodels or repair work. Custom residential at the GC level requires more design coordination than typical home builder work, which fits the firm's broader project management experience from commercial construction.
How long has Lee Builders been in Huntsville?
Lee Builders has been operating in Huntsville continuously since 1984 — over four decades. The firm has worked through the city's major growth phases including the late-1980s defense expansion, 1990s residential growth, 2000s aerospace boom, and 2010s research-driven development.
Does Lee Builders do small remodels?
Lee Builders is sized for full custom homes and commercial projects rather than small kitchen or bathroom remodels. Smaller remodel work typically goes to remodel-specific contractors with the right scale and pricing structure for that scope. Lee's GC overhead doesn't fit small projects efficiently.
What's the firm's geographic range?
Lee Builders operates across Huntsville and broader north Alabama — Madison, Decatur, Athens, and surrounding Tennessee Valley communities. Service to outer parts of north Alabama depends on project type and scheduling. The firm's primary territory is the I-565 corridor and the immediate Huntsville metro area.
Is Lee Builders licensed for both commercial and residential?
Lee Builders carries Alabama state general contractor licensing covering both commercial and residential project types. The Alabama licensing board issues separate authorizations for each scope of work, and the firm's licensing covers both. Customers can verify current licensing status through the state board's online lookup.
