About KB Construction
Born and raised in construction. We're a Peace Region company built on honesty, quality workmanship, and doing what we say we'll do.
Our Story
Founded in 1994 by Ken Barrett—a carpenter by trade and a preacher in a small holiness church—KB Construction has been a family operation from the start. Luke Barrett, Ken's son and current owner, grew up on job sites alongside his father, learning the construction trade hands-on. From mill construction to residential framing and commercial projects, he mastered the craft through real-world experience before earning his formal carpentry credentials.
From Ken Barrett to Luke Barrett, the mission has remained simple: do things right. No shortcuts. No games. Just honest work at honest prices—a commitment rooted in their Christian values and dedication to serving their community with integrity.
Our Values
Two words define how we operate: Honesty and Integrity.
In an industry where customers have often been burned by contractors who overpromise and underdeliver, we've built our reputation on doing the opposite. When we give you a quote, that's the price. When we say we'll be there, we show up. When we tell you how long something will take, we meet the timeline.
It's not complicated, but it's rare enough that our customers notice. And they come back.
What We've Built

We've also expanded into insulation services (spray foam, blow-in, ditch foam), protective coatings (fireproofing, rock guard), and industrial maintenance services. This lets us serve our clients more completely—and deliver better-integrated projects.
