Jerry Norrod, owner and president of Norrod Builders, Inc. started in the building  business in 1976 along with a partner and the company of Norrod and Savage Construction began.  The company started out building small homes ranging from 900 to 1500 sq. ft.   Many of these homes were built through Farmers Home Administration and several remodeling jobs were done through the HUD program.
In 1978, the company got its Tennessee Contractor license and hired one employee.   Most of the work was done by themselves and  this employee.  Some portions of the work had to be subcontracted.  The company began to grow and from 1988 to 1992, it began building homes ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 sq. ft. and hired two more employees.  In 1992, the partner left the business and in March of 1993, the business was incorporated as Norrod Builders, Inc. with Jerry Norrod, president and Judy Norrod, secretary.

From 1993 to 1997, the size of the homes being built went up to 6,500 sq. ft.  In 1997,  the small commercial classification was added to the contractor license and the company built two factory buildings in Byrdstown, TN, a 20,000 sq. ft. medical facility and homes ranging in size from 4,000 to 11,000 sq. ft.  At this time, the Tennessee Contractors license was increased to an unlimited monetary limit.  From 1992 to 1997, the employees went  from three to twenty-one.
The company did it's business operations out of the home until 1997, at which time,  it rented a small 700 sq. ft. office just of the square in Livingston, TN.  In March, 1999, the company moved to it's new 5,000 sq. ft. office and storage building on Hwy 111, Algood,  TN.  At the present time, Norrod Builders, Inc. has thirty employees.  This includes  two office personnel along with Judy Norrod which has been a part of the company  since its beginning.  They now do most of their labor in house, only subcontracting  the labor for roofing, masonry, and drywall.  The company is very proud  of each of it's employees and the abilities, skills and dedication that each one uses in the success of a completed job.  The first employee that was hired in 1978 is still  with the company.
Jerry and Judy Norrod have built their business on quality construction, good service  and communication with their clients.  They have made many lasting friendships with the people they have worked for.  They are very appreciative of all the fine people that have placed their confidence in them and allowed them to be a part of their life-long dreams and achievements, but most of all they want everyone to know that they owe everything to their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for without Him and His blessings, we can do nothing.
