Heritage Building Group

A Legacy Built on Craftsmanship

Heritage Building Group was founded in 2007 by Paul McAlpine, who brought decades of hands-on industry experience into a company built on quality, integrity, and craftsmanship. What began as a custom remodeling business quickly evolved into custom new construction by 2011, setting the stage for Heritage’s long-term growth throughout Greater Cincinnati.

A Family Business Rooted in Excellence

In 2017, Paul invited his son Ethan McAlpine to join the company, marking the beginning of a true multi-generational family business. The team expanded again in 2021 when Paul’s youngest son, Patrick McAlpine, came on board. Today, all three McAlpines work side-by-side, combining decades of craftsmanship with new ideas and innovation to deliver exceptional homes.

As the company continued to grow and evolve, Heritage Building Group reached an exciting milestone in 2025, participating in their first Homearama, building “The Brownstone” in the Foundry Park development in Oakley, Ohio. This showcase home highlighted Heritage’s design vision, craftsmanship, and commitment to modern, high-performance urban living — solidifying their presence among Cincinnati’s premier custom builders.
