GR Kunkel Construction was formed on March 15, 1978.  By the late 80’s the company consisted of three to four Guys working out of George’s home garage and conducting business out of a home office.  At this time the majority of the work was remodeling and building 1 or 2 new houses each year.  The company grew slowly, adding a carpenter here and there and trying new ways of doing business.  As the company continued to grow George offered a partnership to a few of the guys and Kunkel & Associates Construction Inc. was created in 1995.

            The business was then moved to a building south of town and started taking on larger projects and an increased amount of work.  An in house designer and drafter was added to the office at that time.  After a few years in this location the group of partners pooled together resources and purchased a piece of property.  Subsequently a new office/shop was built in 2000.  As of 2007 K.A.C.I. General Contractors has 21 carpenters/laborers, 4 supervisors and an office staff of 5.  And has branched off into an electrical division and a painting division.
