ABOUT US
Tar Hill is a construction and development firm founded by Andrew Ulrich, a proud Southie native with deep roots in the Boston community. Growing up as one of eight siblings, Andrew quickly learned that if he wanted a space of his own, he’d have to build it himself. From backyard forts to full-scale developments, his passion for construction started early–and never stopped.
With a commitment to quality craftsmanship and strong community values, Tar Hill specializes in everything from small home remodels to large-scale condo developments. The firm also manages investment properties, ensuring long-term value and sustainability.
At Tar Hill, we believe in building better with every project, creating spaces that stand the test of time while staying true to the communities we serve.
MEET THE TEAM
Owner/President
Andrew Ulrich
Andrew began his construction experience in 1992 when he entered into Don Bosco Technical High School. During this time, not only did he gain the basic skills and knowledge for a career in construction, but his love of the field was born. After graduating, he went on to acquire a BS in Business Administration from Suffolk University. While at Suffolk, he learned about business on both a large and small scale, which sparked his entrepreneurial spirit. After college, Andrew first focused on developing his hand-on skills in the Carpenters Union. Later, he honed his managerial skills while working at a development firm in Boston. Rising through the ranks on both sides of the construction business has given Andrew a unique perspective and skill set. In 2010, he decided to open a small remodeling business. His commitment and success in the industry eventually grew into what is now Tar Hill.
