About Way Construction

Way Construction was established in 2004 by co-owners Harold Yarbrough and Trigg White. Harold is Trigg’s stepfather whom he raised in Sulphur since Trigg was 7 years old.

Harold Yarbrough

Owner, Field Supervisor

Harold has worked as a carpenter since returning from the Navy in 1974 and attending McNeese for a year. Through the years he has worked for custom home builders as a carpenter, worked in industry, worked as head job foreman for Flavin Construction in the late 80’s early 90’s, and owned his own custom-building company with another partner. Harold retired in the early 2000’s before deciding he was not ready to retire.

Trigg White

Owner, Agent, CEO

During high school and while at McNeese, Trigg began getting experience in construction by working in the summers and afternoons for Harold and Flavin Construction. In 1995 Trigg went to work for the Sulphur Fire Department and worked for several years as a frame carpenter on his days off. Trigg was married in 1997, and while his wife was finishing college, he took a job working for a large landscape development firm about three days a week when he was not at the fire department. During his time at the landscape firm, Trigg received a great deal of business knowledge as he managed several departments, he was responsible for a large operating budget, personnel, and inventory. In all, he spent close to 8 years with this company.
In 2004 Trigg and Harold decided to start their own construction company, and thus Way Construction was formed. In the beginning, they mostly did remodels, trim, cabinets, and project management. As time went on and their customer base got larger with repeat customers, they started building custom homes and hired support employees. In 2016 Trigg began commercial project management for a larger area contractor, and in turn Way Construction grew and took on their own commercial projects. Today, Way Construction handles anything from repair projects, builds custom homes, does project restoration from storm, fire, and flood damage, as well as small-to-mid-scale commercial construction.

Sheila Bergstedt

Office Manager, Admin Assistant

In Early 2020 Way Construction hired a part-time office assistant, Sheila Bergstedt. Shortly after Sheila came to the company Covid hit and then Hurricanes Laura and Delta. Sheila’s part time went to full-time not necessarily to her wishes, but she stepped up big for us. Sheila has been such an asset to the company and especially to Trigg as his assistant during the enormous growth transition Way Construction has gone through since she came on board. Way Construction could not do what they do without Sheila’s skill and dedication.

Jamie Bonneau

Project Manager, Personal Assistant

In early 2021 Way Construction hired Jamie Bonneau as a project manager to help with the enormous workload from Hurricane Laura. Jamie is a Sulphur High graduate, married and has two boys. Jamie brings immense value to Way Construction. She has worked for the Pathology Lab, for other contractors, and ran her own cleaning company for over 10 years, but her most valuable asset is her nonstop “go get em attitude”. Jamie runs the day-to-day jobs, works with customers and all sub-contractors, has a great eye for current style, and just gets it done! Our customers love having such an attentive project manager and love working with her.

Josh Owen

Carpenter

Josh Owen has been with Way Construction since 2016. Josh is a carpenter and works with Harold on his days off from the Sulphur Fire Department. Josh has been in the fire service for 11 years and serves as a Fire Engineer. Josh and Harold do most of our trim work, small repairs, and some cabinetry. Josh has been an integral part of the company for over 6 years.

Hayes White

Special Projects, Crews Lead

Hayes White is Trigg’s oldest child and one of Harold’s 12 grandchildren. Hayes graduated from Sulphur High School at the top of his class and attends McNeese State University majoring in engineering. Hayes has become a big part of the company by helping on small projects and miscellaneous things that need accomplishing. At 19 years old, Hayes is a fantastic young man and has skills that many grown men do not have. Trigg and Harold are amazed daily at what he accomplishes in his school life as well as his day-to-day life.
