Our Story

Who We Are

Darryl Young has worked in construction since 1987 — long before GPS machine control, robotic total stations, or commercial drones existed. He's seen the industry evolve firsthand, and has embraced every tool and technology that makes the work more accurate, safer, and more efficient.

Stellar Contracting was founded with a clear purpose: to build a company that does things the right way. Not the cheap way. Not the fast way. The right way — every project, every time.

Today, Stellar operates a full equipment fleet, a technology-driven survey and layout system, and a FAA Part 107 certified drone division — all under the same family ownership that has been on the job since day one.

How We Operate

1

Do it right the first time

Rework costs everyone. We invest in planning, technology, and crew quality to eliminate it.

2

We don't pursue low-bid work

We work with clients who value quality and reliability. Price-shoppers aren't our clients.

3

Owner-involved on every project

Darryl is not a figurehead. He is on the job, making decisions, and accountable for results.

4

Industrial environments are our specialty

Chemical plants, active manufacturing facilities, complex retrofits — this is where we do our best work.
