The Agape Way

At Agape Construction, we often talk about doing things “the Agape way.” But what does that really mean?

Agape Construction is a family-owned, Christian company founded by Kevin O’Brien, who chose the name after hearing a sermon about the meaning of “agape.” Derived from the Greek word for love, agape represents the highest form of love – selfless, unconditional, and centered on the well-being of others. In Greek, there are multiple words for love, each describing a different kind, but agape stands apart as the most enduring and sacrificial.

This principle is at the heart of everything we do. To us, working “the Agape way” means treating every client like family – with respect, honesty, and integrity.

We also understand that construction projects don’t always go exactly as planned. Materials may arrive damaged, unexpected issues can arise behind walls, and challenges are simply part of the remodeling process. When these situations occur, our commitment is to respond the Agape way: by communicating clearly, addressing problems promptly, and doing everything in our power to make things right.

Once construction begins, your Project Manager will oversee the day-to-day progress of your project, ensuring consistent communication and smooth coordination. A skilled lead carpenter will also be on-site, maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Clear communication, exceptional workmanship, daily site cleanliness, respect for your home, and a strong work ethic – these are the hallmarks of the Agape way. Our guiding motto is simple: to do everything as if we are doing it for the Lord: To the best of our abilities, with absolute honesty, and with the interest of others forefront in our minds.
