Bryan Johnson

President / Lead Project Manager
In 2003 , Bryan Johnson founded ContractOne, with fifteen years of industry experience , and a vision: to bridge the gap between administrative precision and the rugged, hands – on reality mountain construction. Starting in the Vail Valley of Colorado, Bryan built a reputation – driven corporation capable of delivering projects of all sizes consisting of single – family homes, renovations in residential and commercial settings along with completing two developments in some of the most challenging environments in the country.
As ContractOne grew, so did its reach. In 2010 , Bryan expanded operations to the Upstate of South Carolina , bringing the company’s signature “mountain – tough” expertise to the Blue Ridge region . With a small presence in the Upstate of South Carolina and the main office in Colorado, projects were raised along with children and a wonderful life. In 2016 , after being behind the scenes , Jill Johnson joined the Con tractOne offi ce . In 2020 , life changed for the Johnsons. As they became empty nesters, Bryan and Jill began to envision their next chapter. Driven by a love for the mountains and a desire for a milder climate to call home, they made a pivotal decision in 2025 : to flip the company’s focus and relocate the ContractOne main office to Travelers Rest, South Carolina.
Today, Bryan continues to run ContractOne as a founder – led firm with its heart in two mountain ranges . He continues assisting clients with builds and renovations of all sizes. Now settled in South Carolina full – time, Bryan is enjoying his growing family, new and old friends , the areas trails for biking/wa l king, spending time at the lakes , along with connecting and serving with new friends as an active member at the Woodworker’s Guild of Greenville and the Home Builders Association of Greenville.
