The Krusinski Way
50 Years. One Standard.
Built for Generations
KNOWN. EXPERIENCED. TRUSTED.
Founded by Joe Krusinski in 1973, Krusinski Construction Company’s legacy is built on trust, family values and exceptional performance. We build strong relationships that last and do things The Krusinski Way. With decades of experience, we’ve laid an incredible foundation and are committed to building for the next 50 years—for generations to come. Take a glance in time from the inception of KCC to present-day operations and see first-hand how family values have carried us through the years.
Construction is in Our Blood
Joe Krusinski began working in the industry over 50 years ago. He shares his father’s name and passion for construction. His uncle, who was an architect and general contractor, also encouraged Joe to make construction his life’s work. His first job out of college was for an architectural and engineering firm. Four short years later, he ventured out on his own. In 1973, Joe founded Krusinski Construction Company in Schiller Park, Illinois, and began work on his first project — a 102,000 square-foot building in Itasca.
Built on Trust & Family Values
Despite ongoing changes in market conditions and demands, the company continued to thrive. In 1984, Joe’s younger brother, Jerry Krusinski, joined the team, and soon after so did Joe’s three children: Jeff, Joe III and Gina. As the company grew, non-family members joined the team to take the company to the next level. The Krusinski family viewed new team members as an extension of their own family, creating a work environment built on trust and shared values.
Never Make a Hard Decision Alone
Just like his father taught him, Joe believes in doing things the right way: creating a positive experience that leads to trust, which ultimately leads to long-term relationships. From senior managers to field employees, everyone in the organization puts a client’s interest first, while maintaining a safe and enjoyable work environment. From the early stages of a project, we fully engage our clients in the planning and decision-making.
We're in It for the Long Haul
In 2005, Joe passed the baton to his younger brother, Jerry Krusinski, who carried forward the same values as their father, uncle and brother. Over the next decade, Jerry guided the company’s growth and success until 2016, when Joe’s son, Jeff Krusinski, stepped into the role of President. In 2024, Jeff was promoted to President & CEO, continuing the family legacy of leadership. Today, Joe serves as Chairman Emeritus, Jerry as Executive Chairman, and Jeff leads the company’s next chapter. Since our quarters are 25 years long, there’s no doubt we’re in it for the long haul. We love what we do, and we’re not stopping anytime soon.
