Kent brings a deep understanding of both the numbers and the craft behind every Kinley Built project. With years of experience in construction — including a strong background in trim carpentry — he knows that the smallest details are often what matter most. That perspective carries through everything he does, from estimating and bidding to managing projects in the field. Kent has a clear pulse on current construction costs and how to align a project with a client’s goals, helping turn ideas into something realistic, buildable, and well-executed. His approach is straightforward: understand the vision, plan it correctly, and make sure it’s done right.

Joseph brings over 32 years of construction experience to the Kinley Built team. Starting at a young age, construction has always been a part of his life — shaping a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of how projects come together from the ground up. As a project manager, Joseph works closely with the team to execute the custom details that define each build. He has a sharp eye for quality, understands the importance of precision, and knows how to keep projects moving forward. His experience shows in the way he approaches every job — steady, detail-focused, and committed to getting it done right.
