Charles Construction Services

Charles Construction Services traces its roots to a strategic merger that combined two long‑standing Northwest Ohio firms—Hume Supply Inc., operating since 1948 in Lima, and Charles Construction Services Inc., founded in 1983 in Findlay. The union, completed in January 2024 under owner Ryan Smith, brings together more than 75 years of collective experience, creating a single, region‑wide contractor that serves commercial and industrial projects throughout Northwest Ohio.

Based in Lima, Ohio, at 2727 St Johns Rd, Lima, OH 45804, USA, the company functions as a full‑service general contractor and steel construction specialist. Its offerings begin with comprehensive pre‑construction services, including detailed site evaluations, soil testing, zoning reviews, budgeting, and schedule development. The team also provides value‑engineering analysis to identify cost‑effective materials and methods that preserve quality and long‑term investment value. Throughout the construction phase, Charles Construction Services manages commercial builds, coordinating subcontractors and overseeing steel erection to keep projects on track.

Guided by Ryan Smith’s civil‑engineering background and a client‑first philosophy, the firm emphasizes partnership at every stage, helping owners translate concepts into actionable blueprints and guiding critical decisions from planning through completion. This blend of historic expertise and integrated project management makes Charles Construction Services a reliable option for businesses seeking coordinated, steel‑focused construction solutions in the Lima and broader Northwest Ohio area.
