About Us

At Hive, we’re a woman-owned, Class A Commercial General Contractor dedicated to delivering exceptional construction services with integrity, quality, and community impact.

About The Owner

Kansas City Roots, Tri-Lakes Empire

After building her reputation in Kansas City, Deona expanded to the Ozarks with one mission: deliver honest, high-quality design-build work that actually gives back to the community.

Specializing in historic and specialty roofing, green/living roofs (she’s a certified Green Roof Installation & Maintenance Professional – GRIMP), full commercial construction, multi-family developments, HVAC, security fencing, landscaping, and turnkey remodels, Deona runs the company with a zero-tolerance policy for change orders and the best loyalty program in the business — priority scheduling and real discounts for repeat clients who know she won’t mess around.

A proud conscious capitalist, she reinvests in local teams, partners with nonprofits, and builds relationships that last longer than most roofs. When she’s not on a job site, you can find her in nature. Deona doesn’t just fix buildings — she protects legacies and grows communities, one watertight project at a time.

Owner-led delivery. High standards. No chaos.

Micah Harris
Business Development & Client Success Executive

Alex keeps the chaos organized on every job site and he makes sure Hive’s projects stay on schedule, under budget, and drama-free. Whether it’s coordinating a hotel remodel or making sure your new fence actually keeps the deer out, Micah keeps every detail tracked so nothing falls through the cracks. He’s the calm in the storm — literally — and the reason clients keep coming back for more. Micah is the friendly voice (and organizational superhero) that keeps Hive running smooth. He schedules, comes up with our top tier loyalty program perks, and makes sure every client feels like family instead of just another job. With a background in property management and a zero-tolerance attitude for a lazy work ethic, Micah turns “I need this fixed yesterday” into “done and you’re getting a discount.” He’s the reason Deona can focus on building instead of drowning in emails.

Community Impact

Through the Hive Dividend, a portion of revenue supports community
initiatives—because the work should leave a place better than we found it.
