Our Story
CR Construction & Grading's journey began with Chris, the owner, who was exposed to the world of construction at a young age, assisting his father, also a contractor, in the Central/Upstate New York area. Chris's involvement in construction grew, leading him to join the crew after school and during summer breaks. After high school, he transitioned into a full-time role, seamlessly fitting into the industry. However, Chris's ambition extended beyond seasonal work, and the harsh New York winters presented a challenge. This prompted him to relocate to the South, where he secured a project manager position for a national disaster relief company. Subsequently, he was offered a project manager role for a high-end custom home builder, allowing him to stay off the road and be closer to his family. During this time, Chris honed his skills in high-end trim and timber work, taking on numerous side jobs after hours and weekends. His dedication to quality and craftsmanship quickly earned him a reputation, leading to a surge in demand for his services. This marked the birth of "Gantter Built," a testament to Chris's vision and leap of faith. "Gantter Built" flourished, specializing in high-end carpentry for homes, buildings, and specialty barns. However, Chris encountered a challenge with subcontracting trades, finding it difficult to maintain the high-quality standards he demanded for his clients. Recognizing the need for greater control, Chris expanded his business, transforming "Gantter Built" into "CR Construction & Grading." The company quickly began offering land clearing and grading services, experiencing an overwhelming demand. With a growing clientele and a dedicated team, Chris sought out the best professionals in the industry to join his ranks, further expanding the grading services. Today, CR Construction & Grading is renowned for its exceptional quality, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Their dedication to exceeding expectations ensures that clients are 100% happy and satisfied before any project is considered complete.
