CLARK HARRIS
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Upon graduating from St. Lawrence University with a degree in history and education, Clark moved south to Atlanta. He continued his career in construction working for a company that specialized in finishing and restoration. After working in this genre of construction for four years, Clark decided to start his own business, specializing in renovation and restoration. In 2000, he founded Innovative Construction. When the company expanded to both Design and Build in 2021, Innovative Construction became Innovative Design Build.
“I founded this company in 2000 because I love remodeling and I love to make people happy. As the company has grown, we have remained focused on delivering the projects of our clients’ dreams on time and on budget,” he says. “We use a predictable, streamlined, systematic process that delivers consistent, high-quality results. I promise we will do everything possible to make you a happy client for life.”
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Clark later moved with his family to Hingham, Massachusetts. Clark currently lives in Roswell with his wife Hilary, and children Ben, Danny, Samantha, and their dogs Lucy and Daisy. When not at work, you can find Clark spending time with his family at the lake, at one of his son’s football games or with his nose buried in a book.
