It all began in the early 2000s with a small but dedicated company—SAGE—that started out with a simple yet essential service: commercial painting. Back then, it was just a handful of skilled painters who believed in making every stroke count. The work was good. The clients were happy. But they didn’t stop there.

As the painting projects piled up, something unexpected began to happen: clients started asking, “What else can you do?” They were impressed with the quality and attention to detail, and they began to trust the team at SAGE for more than just a fresh coat of paint.

Shawn Aldridge, the President and Owner, saw an opportunity—a chance to expand beyond the boundaries of painting and offer clients a more comprehensive solution. So, he started looking beyond the paintbrush and began forging partnerships with talented subcontractors who could add value in new areas: from electrical work to plumbing to carpentry. Each new relationship allowed SAGE to expand its scope and serve clients in ways they hadn’t imagined before. And with each successful project, the company’s reputation began to grow, paving the way for something bigger.

What started as a small, specialized team gradually transformed into a versatile, multifaceted contractor, ready to take on large-scale, diverse construction projects. As the demand for services grew, SAGE didn’t just rely on subcontractors—they built their own in-house team of professionals who shared the same passion for excellence.

This was the moment when SAGE truly came to life as a full-service general contractor, equipped to handle a wide array of construction needs with a level of craftsmanship and commitment that clients could trust.
