Ken ended up seizing that opportunity, but he didn’t do it alone – from the start, he says he’s been surrounded by “a number of really excellent people.” “The way we’ve built the company is we’ve had a shared ownership model,” he explains. “We’ve found great people and we’ve built the company together. That’s the foundation of our success. The reason we’ve been able to grow and do such great work is the people we have, and I feel privileged to have them.” When Ken took over Remdal, the company focused mainly on painting, plus “a little bit of carpentry” on the side. A few years later, they began to do what they then-called ‘restoration work,’ and now call ‘building envelope and waterproofing work.’ In recent years, they have continued to add to their capabilities – most recently by acquiring a hazardous material abatement company, as well as an HVAC and plumbing company. Remdal is also now capable of providing general contracting services. On interior renovation projects, they can work with subcontractors and manage lighting, flooring, and other updates in addition to their various painting services. On exterior building envelope renewal projects, they are similarly capable of working with subcontractors and managing, coordinating, and communicating the vast number of details on the project to ensure it gets completed on time and on budget. Over the past few years, Remdal has been exercising those capabilities more and more, and they are proud of the results they have JANUARY 2026
