President
Larry established Kline Construction in 1979. The construction business is a Kline family tradition. He became involved with building at an early age as he learned the masonry trade from his father Eugene, an experienced mason and owner of Kline's Masonry Company. Larry has supplemented his invaluable experience throughout the years by formal and informal education.
As Larry's work experience and knowledge continued to grow, he moved from a union masonry company to a major local construction company, where he spent many years as a project manager. His drive and expertise resulted in the growth and expansion of his own company Kline Construction.
With over 40 years of experience, Larry not only specialized in masonry, but also carpentry, concrete, excavation and architectural design. His expertise extends to all phases of construction and development - commercial building, medical and dental facilities, residential, multi-family construction, new construction, remodeling and additions.
Larry began guiding Kline Construction in the specialty of controlled environment facility construction in the late 1990’s. In the years since, his company has become national leaders providing a holistic approach to this unique specialty.
Through his knowledge and perseverance, he has built a solid reputation in the local community and nationwide. He prides his company on quality workmanship and reliable service, which stresses and delivers timely project completion.
