Henry Kastner and his family came to St. Paul, Minnesota from Hamburg, Germany in 1885. Henry, a skilled mason, soon began plastering ceilings and walls as part of his business. Father taught son in the best of the old world traditions of craftsmanship. After several generations, plastering, drywall, and painting became Kastner family specialties. Larry is now the fifth generation of Kastners in business, starting in the trade more than thirty-five years ago by working for his father. Quality craftsmanship, honesty, and customer satisfaction are trademarks the Kastner business has maintained for five generations, and that legacy continues.
