Aikens Family History

Based in Winchester VA, the Aikens Group is a premier development firm in the Blue Ridge Shenandoah Valley. The Aikens Group serves the Interstate 81 and Interstate 66 corridors from Martinsburg WV to Strasburg, VA.  The company is centrally located to allow the business to grow and expand with the needs of the region. Committed to providing a standard of excellence resulting in an unsurpassed level of service the Aikens Group has a tradition to live up to.

In 1931 at the end of the depression, Harry W. Aikens started Aikens Construction working in the woolen mills during the day and building houses at night. His passion was development and entrepreneurship. In 1973 with his son joining the company, the construction company became H & W Construction. Named for Harry and Walter Aikens.

Over the years, the company expanded its services to include commercial building, commercial leasing, land development, commercial real estate, crane rental services, hotel development, and residential rental properties. Today Walters’s two sons William and Jason Aikens now work with their father to carry on the family tradition to continue to grow the Aikens Group Companies.

The Aikens Group Companies’ reputable track record of success has been achieved through leadership, collaborative effort, and local presence for the Shenandoah Valley. As today’s market place grows and revolutionizes, the Aikens Group continues to serve and support the area and enhance customers’ lives.  Determined to expand its portfolio in the valley through new construction, real estate development, and other new ventures; the Aikens Group will continue to show its strength and dependability in the region.
