Since 1950 Kriens Construction has been active in construction in Sioux Falls. Art Kriens Sr. started by building new homes. Art Kriens Jr. and Beverly Kriens continued with homes and expanded into repairing homes that had fire damage. By 1968 the company had expanded into commercial construction and moved to its current location. In 1974 the current office building was built. In 1983 Arthur Kriens III started working full time in the company. He became President in 1989.

Arthur has focused on remodeling and insurance repair work because of the greater challenge they pose and it is more rewarding to help solve people’s building problems and help them overcome disasters. “When we walk into a house fire and the people are standing in the middle of the fire damage we are the Cavalry coming to the rescue. We are the first ones they hear say we can help, we can fix this we will help you put your life back together. “

Kriens Construction Company has operated under the same name since 1950. There are over 200 licensed contractors in the City of Sioux Falls and even more in the phone book. To see how fast the turn over is compare the yellow pages of one year’s phone book to another and you will be surprised. It is easy to start doing construction and just as easy to walk away and disappear. Stability is an important part of reliability.
