Our Story
From a Kentucky farm kid to 50 years of Ohio masonry.
Kenny Evans left home in Vanceburg, Kentucky at 14 — the seventh of eleven children — to find work up north. He ended up in Weston, Ohio, where he married Kay Long and learned masonry from her father, John. A trade passed hand to hand.
Kenny started K&K in 1973 with a simple idea: quality work, honest prices, your name behind everything you build. Slogan: "You can try the rest, but stick to the best." That wasn't marketing — it was a promise.
When Kenny passed in 1994, son-in-law Tim Getz took the business forward. He'd been learning the trade from Kenny since he was 19. Today Tim and Kim run K&K alongside their son Tyler, a BGSU Construction Management graduate who grew up watching this work get done right.
