started working for a local landscaper during the summer months - Later after finishing High School I worked as a Labor on a concrete crew for several years while taking courses at a community college.  From here I went on to be a Carpenter Apprentice with a Major residential Remodeling Company on the south side of Chicago - then still in my 20's I bought my first lot and got my feet wet building my first home.  From there I worked with all the trades at a professional level which involved Heating & Air Conditioning, Sheet metal, Plumbing, and Electric.  From there I started buying single family homes performing complete Renovations moving on to commercial type projects with apartments - redesigning and updating these units for first time renters - in between I worked at a major area Hospital on the evening shift as an Engineer dealing with steam boilers, chillers, designating work, making computer adjustments with metasys  HVAC programs, while following behind outside contractors and designating work to the crew members.

     Knowledge & Longevity in the Construction field makes for unmatched Professional Quality.  You can't understate prior experience in the Building and Remodeling Industry.  This System is a reflection of that experience by a "hands on" Contractor that has strived for a better way of doing things - Striving to give the homeowner a Quality job done by himself with the guidance of a professional Contractor - all the while saving the homeowner big money.

King and Crew looking forward to working with you - Give us a try
