The Kalb Story: More Than a Construction Company
Kalb Construction was never just about buildings. It started with a father, a set of blueprints, and a belief that if you do good work and treat people right, the rest will follow.
In 1953, George Kalb moved his family from California to Southern Nevada, chasing opportunity and a better life for his wife and kids. A skilled carpenter and World War II bomber pilot, he built sets for Universal Studios before turning his attention to the real world. Homes, businesses, and communities that would shape the growing Las Vegas Valley. In 1963, he started his own company, George F. Kalb Construction, and laid the foundation for what would become one of Nevada’s most trusted contractors.
Steve Kalb, George’s son, grew up on job sites, pushing brooms and learning how to build from the ground up. By 22, he was running his first project. A Jack in the Box on Sandhill and Flamingo. His dad handed him a set of plans and told him to make it happen. That spirit of trust, self-reliance, and responsibility still lives in the company today.
Over the years, Kalb helped complete more than eleven hundred projects throughout Nevada. From convenience stores and car dealerships to hotels, commercial campuses, and public spaces. They built fast. They built well. More than anything, they built relationships. Many of which still continue today.
As Kalb grew, so did the family behind it. In 2001, Steve officially passed company 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 history and a clear vision for its future. Under his leadership, Kalb Construction continues to blend old-school principles with modern innovation, ensuring the company stays true to its roots while building for what’s next.
Now led by the next generation, Kalb Construction continues to operate with the same values that started it all. This is a company rooted in family, grounded in experience, and built on trust. We take pride in our work, we own our outcomes, and we treat our clients like long-term partners, not transactions.
Because at Kalb, building is personal. It always has been.
