Learn the story of G&H Construction a generational coastal builder in Corpus Christi known for resilience, craftsmanship, and transparent, trustworthy service.
For G&H Construction, building homes along the coast isn’t just a trade, it’s a legacy carried through three generations of hands, heart, and hard-earned experience. The story begins decades ago in Rockport, where Rocky’s grandfather picked up his first hammer and began learning how coastal homes truly behave against salt air, shifting foundations, and the unpredictable strength of Gulf storms. He didn’t learn construction from textbooks. He learned it from the land, the weather, and the people who called this place home.
When Rocky’s father entered the trade, the Hines family quickly realized that coastal communities like Rockport, Aransas Pass, and Corpus Christi required more than basic building skills. They needed builders who understood resilience, the kind that comes only from generations of living on the coast, repairing storm-damaged homes, reinforcing structures, and building smarter every single time. This wasn’t knowledge you could pick up in a weekend course. It was inherited wisdom, passed down through callused hands and careful observation.
By the time Rocky launched G&H Construction, he had already spent years working alongside his father and grandfather, mastering the craft and witnessing firsthand how much trust homeowners place in their builders. He’d seen families displaced by storms, watched neighbors rebuild their lives one board at a time, and understood that every project carried weight beyond the materials and blueprints. The business was created with a simple mission: to raise the standard of coastal construction through integrity, craftsmanship, and complete transparency.
Today, G&H Construction proudly serves families across Corpus Christi, Rockport, Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, Portland, and Ingleside, carrying forward a legacy built not in boardrooms, but in real communities, real homes, and real storms. Every project reflects generations of coastal wisdom and a deep commitment to doing right by the families who trust us.
At G&H Construction, our values guide every decision, from the materials we choose to the way we communicate with every client. We believe in straightforward communication because homeowners deserve honest answers and clear expectations, not hidden surprises. That value is woven into every estimate, every walkthrough, and every update. You’ll never wonder where your project stands or what comes next.
We stand firm on transparent pricing, making sure our clients know exactly what they’re paying for and why. Coastal remodeling and structural repair isn’t guesswork, it’s precision, and transparency ensures you always understand what goes into building something meant to last decades, not just years.
Our philosophy is simple: If we wouldn’t build it for our own family, we won’t build it for yours. This mindset pushes us to deliver real craftsmanship rather than shortcuts, proactive problem-solving rather than quick fixes, and a customer experience that feels supportive, informed, and collaborative from day one. When you work with us, you’re not just another job number. You’re a neighbor we’re building for.
With 30 years in business, we’ve learned that trust is earned through consistency, keeping promises, meeting timelines, and showing up when it matters most. That’s why we also offer 24-hour reliable response, especially for structural issues or water-related emergencies. On the coast, damage doesn’t wait, and neither do we. When something goes wrong at 2 a.m., you need a team that picks up the phone and shows up ready to help.
Rocky grew up with salt air in his lungs and sawdust on his hands. Raised in Rockport, he learned the building trade the old-fashioned way, by watching the men in his family earn a reputation for strong, dependable work. There were no shortcuts in his upbringing, just honest labor, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the craft.
With decades of hands-on experience, Rocky has become one of the area’s most trusted experts in coastal construction, storm damage repair, and structural reinforcement. He’s rebuilt homes after hurricanes, stabilized foundations that others said were beyond saving, and helped countless families turn “what now?” moments into fresh starts.
His approach is rooted in integrity: be clear, be honest, and build with pride. Clients describe him as calm under pressure, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to doing things the right way, even when no one is looking. If there’s a problem, Rocky doesn’t hide it. He explains it, walks you through the options, and helps you make the best decision for your home and your budget.
