1930s

W.A. HITT Decorating Co. was founded as a small, family-owned business in Warren and Myrtle Hitt’s home in Arlington, Virginia. Their first job was an enclosed porch at a residence in Falls Church, Virginia. The rest, as they say, was history. By 1939, the company earned its first $100,000 and grew to 20 team members.

1940s

W.A. Hitt Decorating Co. continues to grow despite wartime challenges and labor shortages. The company incorporates in 1943, changing its name to HITT Decorating–Contracting Co. Inc., and moving to the first office in Arlington, Virginia.

1950s

As the industry moves from plaster to drywall, HITT Decorating–Contracting Co. Inc. expands to house construction in the Northern Virginia area. The company reaches $1 million in revenue and grows to nearly 60 team members.

1960s

HITT Decorating–Contracting Co. expands its reach to Baltimore, Maryland and moves its headquarters to a new location at 921 North Quincy Street in Arlington, Virginia.

1970s

The scope of projects for HITT Decorating–Contracting Co. Inc. grows. We’re awarded our first $1 million project and the first large-scale commercial project. HITT hires our first receptionist, labor director, safety director, marketing director, and project accountant. The decade ends with the passing of our founder, Warren Hitt.

1980s

HITT Decorating–Contracting Co. Inc. rebrands to HITT Contracting Inc. Future co-chairmen Jim Millar and Brett Hitt join the company, and we host the first Annual Subcontractor Appreciation Day.

1990s

HITT expands to the Southeast and moves its headquarters to 2704 Dorr Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia. This growth includes a new paint department and a subcontractor relations department as we reorganize our teams into market sectors.

HITT continues to grow nationwide, opening an office in South Florida and earning revenue topping $500 million. With more than 500 team members, we joined the Engineering News-Record’s Top 100 General Contractors list for the first time.
