The Kalb Story: More Than a Construction Company
Kalb Construction has always been about more than buildings. It began with a father, a set of blueprints, and a belief that good work and strong relationships would lead the way.
In 1953, George Kalb moved his family from California to Southern Nevada in search of opportunity and a better future. A skilled carpenter and World War II bomber pilot, George had built film sets for Universal Studios before shifting his focus to homes, businesses, and community spaces that would help shape the growing Las Vegas Valley. In 1963, he founded George F. Kalb Construction and laid the foundation for what would become one of Nevada’s most trusted general contractors.
George’s son, Steve Kalb, grew up on job sites where he pushed brooms, learned the trades, and gained a deep understanding of the responsibility that comes with building from the ground up. At just 22, Steve was handed his first solo project: a Jack in the Box at Sandhill and Flamingo. His father gave him a set of plans and the directive to make it happen. That same spirit of trust, accountability, and self-reliance still defines how Kalb operates today.
Over the decades, Kalb has completed more than eleven hundred projects across Nevada. These have included convenience stores, car dealerships, commercial campuses, hotels, and public facilities. Each one was built with speed, care, and a focus on long-term relationships. Many of those relationships still continue today.
As the company expanded, so did the family behind it. In 2001, Steve passed leadership to his son, Justin Kalb, who now serves as President. Steve remains actively involved as CEO. A third-generation builder, Justin brings a deep respect for the company’s legacy and a clear vision for its future. Under his leadership, Kalb Construction blends the values it was built on with the tools and technology needed to grow forward.
Today, Kalb Construction continues to operate with the same principles that shaped its earliest days. We are a company rooted in family, grounded in experience, and built on trust. We take pride in our work, we own every outcome, and we treat our clients as long-term partners.
At Kalb, building is personal. That commitment has shaped our work since the beginning.
