About Rees Construction

From the Ground Up

Founded by German immigrant Casper Rees in 1887, Rees Construction began with brick street paving in Quincy. Over the decades, we adapted and expanded our capabilities by shifting into sewer and water systems and evolving into a full-service heavy civil contractor in the early 2000s. In 2021, we added structural concrete and poured foundations to round out our offerings.

Now led by Paul Rees, the fifth generation, and supported by seasoned project manager Tim Keppner, we continue to uphold our founding values of hard work, integrity, and quality craftsmanship.
