Chris Hartley
Paint Lead
Chris mentors new hires, guiding them through “The Birchwood Way” to ensure they understand our commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and excellence.
Family is at the heart of everything he does. As a parent of six, he takes pride in seeing his eldest son contribute to Birchwood Construction. His family dog, Daisy, is another cherished part of his lives.
Chris believes Birchwood Construction is more than just a workplace—it’s a community. The company’s commitment to its employees and their families is evident in its strong benefits, supportive culture, and the incredible team he has the privilege of working alongside.
Northern Michigan is home, and he thrives in the outdoors. Whether it's hunting, fishing, foraging for mushrooms, kayaking, or simply enjoying nature, he finds endless joy in the beauty of this region.
What inspires Chris: "I draw inspiration from the elegant homes we create and the unparalleled quality we deliver. Seeing a completed project and knowing the dedication, skill, and pride that went into it is truly rewarding."
