About CORE Contractors Inc.

Built on family, trusted through performance

Our Beginning

A family business from the start

CORE Contractors Inc. began with Jeff and Jerri Hatfield’s commitment to hard work, quality construction, and practical problem solving. What started with custom homes has grown into a commercial construction company built on trust, relationships, and follow-through.

Through the years, the company has continued to evolve while keeping the same family values at the center of the business.

Testimonials

This is a wonderful company we have used them for a variety of projects, they did a full kitchen remodel for us and they did a project where we opened up our family room! Very high quality work, did it in a timely fashion and were very reasonable! They are very easy to work with and we will be using them again! Wonderful company and great employees!

– Carolyn Anoskey, Residential Customer

The Hatfield family is outstanding. They are great communicators, reliable, efficient, fair, and professional. I would never hesitate to recommend them and Evansville Day School is proud to partner with them on several important facility renovations and enhancements.

CORE Contractors has completed many projects for Old National Bank over the last decade.  CORE brings the same quality workmanship, customer-friendly performance, and competitive pricing to every job, whether large or small.  Old National Bank is fortunate to have strong working relationships with several general contractors.  We are proud to work with CORE, not only as a reliable contractor, but also as an ONB customer

– J. Cory Mills, Facilities Director, ONB

What can I say about Core Contractors? First Bank Loves Core Contractors!! They can take the stress out of a stressful situation. Making decisions about our new office remodel was a breeze. They were respectful, friendly,  and provided quality craftsmanship. They maintained a neat appearance and kept their work area clean. It has been a pleasure to have them here at First Bank. The Hatfield Team Rocks!

Steve Boren, First Bank

We work with many contractors and our clients often asked about our experiences… when I think about Core Contractors, I think of high quality work, attentiveness to detail, and a genuine desire to please the client. They always do the ‘right thing’ with no tolerance for short cuts.

Jennifer Stewart, Y Factor Studio

I wanted to take the time to let you know what a pleasure it was working with you and your team. As I said many times, my experiences with CORE continue to be excellent and I am very pleased to have found a contractor I know I can count on for my commercial development projects. Rebuilding Subway on First Ave. was a highly successful project on many levels and I thank you for your hard work, with respect to taking care of our clients and tenants needs, as well as individual concerns.

– Piyush Patel, Subway Owner

We are so pleased with all of the work that you have done for us. The changes to the building are amazing, but the ability we now have to serve our clients in a more dignified and purposeful way is forever changed because the atmosphere is better, brighter, safer and beautiful! We owe it all to you guys! Your company is a class act! We are so thankful for your wisdom at every turn and your experience in dealing with the stressful and hard points of construction. Thank you for all you have and continue to do to help us! We are grateful!

– Jennifer Childress, Lampion Center

When the Evansville Rescue Mission relocated to our new campus, we asked Jeff to be our General Contractor. I hope we made a lot of good decisions throughout the process, but one in particular that I know we made, was hiring Jeff and Core Contractors. They did an OUTSTANDING job, and were great to work with. Jeff is very particular, and that was great with me! As well, he worked with us to keep costs low. Without ANY doubt whatsoever, I’d use Jeff again. I highly recommend him and his team to you.

– Tracy Gorman, Evansville Rescue Mission

Jeff has always been a pleasure to work with both as a hired contractor and client. He manages projects extremely well and always seems to accomplish his tasks on time and within budget.

– Tom Effinger, Environmental Management Consultants
