Fritts Honors Total Construction Services

SHARE NOW

For his January 2024 local business highlight, State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) chose to highlight Total Construction Services in Sterling. Rep. Fritts spent time touring the business and presented the owner, Troy Hernandez, with a certificate of appreciation for their contributions to the community.

“This month, I honored Total Construction Services because of their extensive community outreach efforts,” said Rep. Fritts. “TCS has been involved in the community for years, from donating to Sterling High School sports to giving away free turkeys on Thanksgiving.”

Total Construction Services was founded in 2014 by current owner, Troy Hernandez. The company offers both residential and commercial construction services, along with other services such as dumpster and snow removal.

Rep. Fritts continued, “But the one thing that really stood out to me about Total Construction Services is their donation of free labor to re-roof a local homeless shelter. That kind of spirit is what a small town community is all about – helping our neighbors when they need us most.”
