Who We Are

When our first child came along, we made a big decision: we wanted Jessica to be able to stay home with the kids. That meant it was time to turn the side hustle into something real. Starting Ozark Construction (Shipley Remodel in Kansas) wasn't easy—there were plenty of months where the bills piled up faster than the paychecks, and we wondered if we should just throw in the towel. But we loved building something of our own, and we loved even more the idea of providing honest, quality work for families just like ours. So we kept going.

We eventually moved to the Springfield area to be closer to my parents after our second baby arrived, and we've been putting down roots here ever since. Today, Ozark Construction is all about the things that matter most to us: integrity (we say what we'll do and do what we say), hard work (no shortcuts on the job site), and treating people with respect (because your home is your biggest investment, and we treat it like we'd treat our own).

We're not some big corporate outfit—we're your neighbors. We show up on time, communicate clearly, clean up after ourselves, and stand behind every project with real accountability. When you hire us, you're hiring a family that understands what it's like to have young kids, a messy golden retriever, and a house that needs to work for real life.

We're grateful every day for the trust our clients place in us. We are now working as design consultants for Renewal by Andersen

Thanks for considering Ozark Construction. Caleb & Jessica

Hi, we're Caleb and Jessica Shipley, the husband-and-wife team behind Ozark Construction. We're a local family right here in Republic, Missouri, and we're proud to call the Springfield area home for the past four years. With three little ones keeping us on our toes (all under 10 and full of energy) and our golden retriever Max who has way too much energy, life is never dull around here.

Our story started back in a small town in Kansas, where I grew up helping my dad fix up rental houses and maintain the church building—he was the pastor, so if something needed building, repairing, or painting, we were on it. In a town that small, you didn't specialize in one trade; you learned them all. That hands-on experience stuck with me through the years.

After joining the Marine Corps Reserves at 18 and marrying my beautiful wife Jessica at 22, we settled into life in that small town. She worked at a vet clinic grooming dogs, and I drove a truck for Coca-Cola. But I always dreamed of owning my own business. Small construction side jobs started coming my way—people knew I could fix just about anything—and those jobs slowly grew.
