  • Matthew Johnston, President

    Matt started in the construction industry as a professional welder, providing his services to jobs throughout the Southeastern US. While working in the field, Matt saw the need for qualified metal building erectors. It was then that the plan for Alpha Labor Co was derived.

Since its inception in 2021 the company has thrived and earned its reputation for quality, excellence and community stewardship.
