Who We Are: Our Company, People, and Services

John and his two brothers, Merv & Elmer, started King Construction in 1978.

During the early years, he and his brothers, all skilled carpenters, worked in the field and did all of the building.

Today he oversees all of the project pricing and bidding; he also provides creative solutions for design or construction problems.

John and his wife Kathy have five children – two girls and three boys.

Merv, John and Elmer King started King Construction in 1978. After a number of years working directly in in the field, the company grew to the point that the brothers were needed in the office.

Today Merv oversees all project scheduling; he does the take-offs for many of the King projects and, in addition, he provides on-site project management when needed. He and his brother John share the responsibilities of overseeing crew training and foreman development.

Merv and his wife Carolyn have five children – three girls and two boys.
