Blue-Collar Roots, Engineering Precision: Meet the Team at Eclipse

Here at Best of Locals, we have written dozens of articles, but every so often, we find a team that truly redefines their industry. Imagine this scenario. A storm rolls through Morgantown, and suddenly you are staring at a water stain on your ceiling. The dread sets in instantly. You are not just worried about the leak, but about the daunting task of finding a contractor who will actually show up, charge a fair price, and do the job right.

We have all heard the horror stories about builders cutting corners or taking advantage of people. Well, Eclipse Construction is here to change that narrative completely.

The Search for a Contractor You Can Trust

Founders Brandon Dillard and Chris Lazzell started Eclipse Construction with a single, powerful goal. They wanted to raise the standard of construction in West Virginia. With a combined twenty five years in the industry, they noticed a frustrating trend of homeowners and business owners left under served and misled by unqualified contractors.

They decided it was time to build a company rooted in integrity, precision, and genuine care. From day one, their philosophy has been simple. They want to be the exact kind of contractor they would hire to work on their own homes. They prioritize transparent communication, top tier materials, and results they can proudly stand behind.

Meet the Morgantown Dream Team

What really makes Eclipse Construction stand out is their phenomenal five person team. When you hire them, you are not getting a faceless corporation. You are getting a tight knit group of local experts who want to deliver a phenomenal experience.

Brandon Dillard, Director of Project Management and Operations Brandon brings the technical brilliance. He grew up building and fixing things, eventually earning a Civil Engineering degree from West Virginia University. Before starting Eclipse, he managed massive commercial projects for a respected regional general contractor. Today, he brings that exact same high level planning, accountability, and clear communication to your driveway.

Chris Lazzell, Director of Construction and Estimation As the son of a combat engineer, Chris learned how to frame, plumb, and roof almost before he could ride a bike. His family has been in the Morgantown area for generations, and he takes immense pride in serving his community. Chris leads the field operations with a strict no compromise approach to quality.

Tony Pompa, Senior Project and Sales Manager Tony is the guy who ensures your project runs smoothly from the first phone call to the final inspection. A Penn State graduate who moved to Morgantown for the breathtaking outdoor trails, Tony has built his career on trust and transparency. When he is not keeping your job site impeccably organized, you might spot him exploring local trails with his two dogs.

Garrett Monty, Field Representative Garrett is often your very first point of contact. He studied Environmental and Energy Resource Management at WVU and spent time handling environmental safety for massive construction projects in Manhattan. He eventually traded the concrete jungle for the West Virginia mountains. He is incredibly approachable and ensures your project starts off on the right foot with clear expectations.

The Insider Advantage for Homeowners

Eclipse Construction offers something most roofing companies simply cannot provide. Chris used to work as an insurance adjuster. He knows exactly how property claims work from the inside out. This means he has the unique ability to guide you through the often stressful insurance process to make sure you get fair reimbursement for your damages. It is an incredible advantage for any homeowner dealing with unexpected repairs.

Why Their Experience Matters

When you work with Eclipse Construction, you are getting serious pedigree. They boast a BBB A Plus rating and are a proud Tenco Shingles Platinum Dealer. But if you ask them what they really want you to know before hiring a pro, their answer is remarkably honest. They want you to look into contractor backgrounds. They invite you to look into theirs because they are incredibly proud of the ethical, high quality business they have built over the last seven years in West Virginia.

If you leave them a five star review, they do not just want you to praise the beautiful new roof. They want you to talk about the entire experience. As they put it, they strive to completely blow people away. They do not measure success by how fast they can finish a job, but by the protection they provide your family.
