Jason Harper
Owner & CEO
As the President my story with Harper Special Services began long before the company had a name. In high school, I was a carpenter by trade, working with my hands and learning the value of doing a job right. Right after graduation, I started Harper’s Pressure Washing—not just to make a living, but because I loved seeing the difference I could make for people.
Over time, I realized many of my clients needed more than just a clean exterior—they needed repairs, renovations, and someone they could truly trust with their homes. In 2007, that realization became Harper Special Services. We built our reputation on the belief that “communication is the key to success” and on the idea that our work should truly make life better for the people we serve.
As a licensed General Contractor in Georgia and South Carolina in 2016, and IICRC certified since 2017, I’ve made it my mission to ensure we’re always operating at the highest level of professionalism. But for me, it’s never just been about building projects—it’s about building relationships, restoring peace of mind after disaster, and creating a team that is just as passionate about helping people as I am.
Savannah is my home. It’s where I was raised, where I’ve built my business, and where I’ve dedicated myself to being there for my neighbors—especially when life throws them its toughest challenges. Harper Special Services isn’t just a business to me. It’s a promise to our community that when disaster strikes, there’s a team ready to make things right again.
Outside of work, my focus is to live in a way that honors God and to always give Him praise for every blessing in my life. I cherish spending time with my family and enjoy giving back to the community by coaching youth sports in my spare time.

I have a number of years in senior management at Fortune 500 companies and through that learned many of the skills that help us and our customers today.
