Meet Miller Brothers, Inc., a fourth-generation, family-owned commercial general contractor that has called Fauquier County home since the mid-1980s. With roots dating back to 1907 in Martins Ferry, Ohio, this legacy business relocated to Northern Virginia in the 1930s and eventually found its permanent home in the heart of Marshall.
Today, Miller Brothers is proudly 100% veteran- and woman-owned, serving the Northern Virginia, Maryland, D.C., and West Virginia regions. The company specializes in a wide range of sectors—including education, athletics, base and industrial construction—offering services that span from preconstruction to ground-up builds, tenant fit-outs, and renovations.
At the helm is Lydia Miller, a forward-thinking leader whose background as a veteran and former Division I athlete, combined with a Wharton Executive MBA, has shaped her commitment to both honoring the company’s legacy and embracing innovation. Her experience managing complex operations during her military service inspired a passion for leadership and building systems that endure.
“Fauquier is home,” she says. “It’s a place that values craftsmanship, relationships, and legacy. That pride in the community is reflected in the way we approach every project.”
One of the company’s most meaningful projects was contributing to the Laurel Ridge Skill Trades Lab—a rewarding effort to support the future of the trades industry and education in the region.
Like many businesses in the construction industry, Miller Brothers faces a familiar challenge: hiring top talent. But they are committed to offering a unique workplace with hands-on experience, real responsibility from day one, and clear paths to growth—something that can be hard to find at larger firms.
“We’re always looking for people who are sharp, driven, and ready to grow with us. Our motto is ‘Building Communities Since 1907,’ and that spirit guides everything we do—from the spaces we construct to the relationships we build.”
As Miller Brothers Inc. continues to expand, their commitment to Fauquier County and to cultivating community remains stronger than ever.
