Our Story

Middle Cross Construction was founded by John Fergus in May of 2006. John and his wife Stacie moved to the Estes Park Valley from Pennsylvania in 1993 with their two children, Shea and Aishlinn. As a craftsman with prior experience, John quickly found his place working in the construction industry. After years of building homes from the ground up, John began to focus on his skills in trim and finish carpentry. In 2006 John broke out on his own to offer his interior trim work to the Estes Park Valley. Eventually John’s daughter, Aishlinn, picked up the skills of her Dad and partnered with him as an additional carpenter. In 2020 John expanded his business and took over Highland Cabinetry & Design. With this growth, John added many incredible craftsmen and designers to his team. John and the Middle Cross Construction team obsess over the details of creating a clean and seamless look with every project we manage.
