Any construction project starts with a well-laid foundation, and it takes an experienced company to best prepare the ground. V&K Construction was founded in 2005 by father and son team, Vernon and Kerry Nussbaumer, but the foundation for the company was laid over 35 years ago with Nussbaumer Excavating. We are local, family owned and operated, and we take personal pride in every project we do. We are also an Emerging Small Business (ESB) Certified company, and small business means exceptional personal service.
Vernon grew up on the family farm in Helvetia, which is now V&K Construction's home base. After his service in the Army, he was an oil rig diver in the 1960's, and a truck driver before he went into construction with his brother in 1975. While he leaves most of the hard stuff to Kerry these days, he is still sometimes found behind the wheel of one of our rigs. Kerry started working with his dad and uncle at Nussbaumer Excavating in 1990 during high school summer break. He graduated from Oregon State University with a BS in Housing Design in 2000 and quickly returned to the family business.
As a commercial and government service provider, we understand that your time is valuable and the bottom line matters. From clearing brush and tree stumps, to moving large amounts of earth and expertly pouring pads, we prepare the site so you can start building. Great hardscaping brings out the best in your space. From pathways and stairs, to retaining walls and foot bridges, let us build the framework that will make your landscaping special. We use Portland's erosion control best management practices to reduce runoff, stabilize soils, and protect the earth from wind and water.
Whether we are dealing with delicate streamside ecosystems or the heavy lifting of boulder removal, V&K Construction has the tools and experience to get the job done right. Every building project depends on a strong foundation, and every foundation must be laid on an expertly cleared site. Let us make way for your building project. A well-crafted hardscape provides the framework for your landscape, and makes your property function well for you and your family. We will assess your land and identify potential problem areas, then build the appropriate erosion control measures.
At V&K we produce quality work, on time and on budget. We work with property owners, general contractors, and on government contracts. We strive to bring you and your community the best value through exceptional service and quality work. Our customers know that we give each project our undivided attention. We give residential customers the same level of professional service that our commercial customers have come to expect. Learn more about our residential and commercial services.
