About the Founder

Jessie Laird is a Hattiesburg native. Raised by two loving parents, he grew up surrounded by strong family and faith. In his youth, he excelled in Baseball and graduated from William Carey College in 1991 with a degree in business. There he met his wife, Denise, to whom he has now been married for 28 years. Together they have three daughters and three grandchildren.

While Jessie has worked in both banking and business, he’s now been in the construction industry for over 20 years and has developed a passion for creative design. He is an avid outdoorsman, and much of his inspiration comes from time spent sitting in the deer stand. His deep love of Southern heritage, style, and Mississippi’s thick pine woods have culminated in the birth of a unique product rich with Antique Heart Pine, Cypress, and Rustic flair. 

As a small business owner himself, Jessie is a dedicated supporter of other local small businesses and deals with them as often as possible. His love of people, tradition, and creation make him a valuable member of the Mississippi market. He values truth, honesty and customer satisfaction above all else, so you know that with Vintage South Construction Company, you have Jessie Laird’s personal satisfaction guarantee.
