About
K&S Construction in Palestine, TX
Licensed General Contractor Serving East Texas Since 2009
K&S Construction is a family-owned general contracting company serving Palestine and surrounding areas throughout East Texas. As a licensed general contractor in Texas, we handle residential projects from initial land clearing through final handoff—managing every phase of construction under one point of contact.
Our owner grew up working alongside his father, a general contractor with 30-40 years of experience building custom homes. He started framing as a subcontractor at 16, transitioned to general contracting at 18, and has operated K&S Construction since approximately 2009. Over the last four to five years, we've shifted entirely to the general contracting role, coordinating full-scope residential projects rather than serving as a trade subcontractor.
What sets our approach apart is the equipment and capabilities we bring in-house. We own and operate heavy equipment including a skid steer with brush cutter, excavator with mulcher, and concrete equipment. When you work with K&S Construction, we're not subcontracting out every phase and waiting on other companies' schedules—we control timelines directly and supervise quality at each stage. For specialized trades like roofing, electrical, plumbing, and framing, we coordinate bonded and insured subcontractors we've built relationships with over years of projects.
Our owner describes the scope simply: "Anything from dirt to a roof, residentially." That means if your project involves land preparation, foundation work, framing, exterior finishes, or interior buildout, we manage it from start to finish. We also file permits in-house, so you're not navigating that process on your own.

Full-Scope Project Management Built on Generational Experience
K&S Construction's foundation comes from decades of hands-on construction knowledge passed down through family mentorship. Our owner learned the trade working on custom home projects since childhood, gaining experience across every aspect of residential building before stepping into the general contractor role. That background means we understand how each phase of construction affects the next—and how to coordinate trades so work flows efficiently without delays or rework.
We serve homeowners throughout Palestine and the surrounding East Texas communities. Our local presence is strong enough that word-of-mouth referrals keep us booked months in advance, even without significant online marketing. That trust comes from consistent delivery: our owner emphasizes honesty in communication and what he calls "terrific, fantastic work" as the standard customers experience on every project.
When you hire K&S Construction, you work directly with the owner throughout your project. You're not handed off to project managers or left wondering who's responsible when questions arise. From the initial site assessment through final walkthrough, you have one point of contact who oversees subcontractors, manages timelines, ensures code compliance, and keeps you informed at each milestone.
Owner-Operated General Contracting with Direct Equipment Control
Because we own our heavy equipment and handle site work in-house, we can start projects when scheduled and move through phases without waiting on third-party availability. Whether your property needs brush clearing before foundation work or grading adjustments during construction, we control those timelines directly. For concrete work—driveways, foundations, patios, porches—we use our own equipment and crews, ensuring the quality standards we're known for.
Our process begins with understanding your vision and budget, then managing every detail from permit filing through final inspection. We coordinate specialized subcontractors for trades that require licensed expertise, but we're on-site supervising and ensuring work meets both building codes and our own standards. The result is a single-source accountability model: when you call K&S Construction, you reach the person responsible for your entire project.
