Meet Our Team

Chris Rochleau

President - CGB, CGR, CGP

Chris Rochleau started Cherry Ridge Construction in 2002 with the simple idea that each client deserves to be treated like he or she is a good friend. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Chris created his first wooden baseball bat on a lathe at age seven. From that point on, he was hooked on working with his hands. Growing up, he took every opportunity he could to build and create. By age 19 he was running a large concrete construction crew for a local contractor. With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, Chris brings an unparalleled level of building expertise and creativity.

Chris has earned several designations from the National Association of Home Builders, including: Certified Graduate Builder, Certified Graduate Remodeler, and Certified Green Professional. These designations are reserved for construction professionals who are dedicated to their craft and are recognized among the best builders in the nation.
