Coupe Construction Co., Inc.

In 1926, A. L. Coupe and J. R. Russel formed a partnership and started what would one day become one of the oldest commercial construction companies in Louisville, Kentucky — Coupe Construction.

While Mr. Russel left the partnership in the early 1930’s, Mr. Coupe controlled the company for nearly thirty years and started the original corporation of A. L. Coupe Construction Company.

Upon Mr. Coupe’s retirement during the mid-1950s, he bestowed the company assets to his longtime secretary Helen “Miss Helen” Baldez and his Project Manager, Jim Furman. It was important to Mr. Coupe to make sure Coupe Construction kept the morale and ethics that had made it so successful in the beginning. By entrusting the company to employees that had worked for him, Mr.Coupe began a longstanding tradition of keeping Coupe Construction true to its initial goal of being a respected, quality-driven commercial construction company.

After Mr.Furman’s death in 1965, William Hedgespeth, a project manager under Furman, assumed the leadership role in the company. Mr. Hedgespeth and Charles Romans gained ownership of Coupe Construction in 1985. Mr. Romans had been a long time employee since the 1950’s and served Coupe Construction until his death in August of 2000.

Mr. Hedgespeth sold his holdings in the Company in 2008.  The current President, Ed Bergstrom Jr., holds the controlling interest in the Company and oversees the day to day operations.

Coupe Construction Company takes pride in serving customers primarily in Kentucky and Indiana. Our goal is that our customers are left satisfied with the quality and cost of your services. We would be honored if you would call and provide an opportunity for Coupe Construction to earn your business.
