This is a small glimpse of where Leighton’s love for machining first began.

Long before HillCo Contracting LLC, you could find him out in the garage turning parts on his old Craftsman lathe, covered in dust, learning how tools worked, and figuring things out one project at a time.

That early curiosity turned into a lifelong passion for machining, repair work, and building things with his hands. What started as a young kid’s interest in tools has grown into the work HillCo does today: helping customers with machining, fabrication, and repair jobs that take patience, precision, and a willingness to solve problems.

Everyone starts somewhere - for Leighton, it started right here in the garage.
