Bob Gockeler - CR, CKBR - President
My vast experience in general contracting is coupled with a keen sense of design that is a unique blend, not often found in the world of contracting. I have designed hundreds of projects from simple remodels to complete additions.
I strive to be a local go-to place for people who want that small-town touch, who appreciate the type of personal attention that you can only get by dealing directly with the owner of a company. Blending design and creativity with my years of building and construction assures my clients the best possible solutions for their home remodeling projects. I have been able to take on the seemingly impossible and make dreams come true for my clients.
People have always marveled at my sense of style and color. I have a natural ability for seeing "what could be." I've been involved in building and remodeling for over 20+ years and that experience gives me insight into how a space could be transformed. I now have the best of both worlds with Kitchen Intuitions and KraftMaster Renovations, it has given me the opportunity to not only design, but remodel a project from start to finish.
