Michael Gilpin
As a Southeastern Kentucky native and resident, and the son of a minister, Michael graduated from London High School in 1965. He then attended the U.S. Air Force Academy and Eastern Kentucky University. Mike earned his Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from EKU and translated that enhanced ability for precision and problem-solving into the construction site.
Beginning with small-scale projects in 1969, Mike solely pioneered his vision of owning/operating a general contracting firm in 1971. At age 22 he went into residential construction full-time. Four years later, at age 26, he laid out and placed the foundations for a 10,000-square-foot elliptical church construction with 12 laminated wood arches extending 72 feet above the floor.
Since then, Mike has continued to push his abilities and has become a leading contractor in Southeastern Kentucky, managing a vast variety of projects. He is highly respected for his precision, consistency, and high standards.
“Growing up in London, Ky., and within Elroy Gilpin's household I learned hard work, honesty, integrity, and service is a good foundation for any family and then a construction company. I was blessed to coattail off his integrity and superior reputation. With that perspective and a commitment to Jesus Christ, I have a continuing guide in life and business. Building trust and lasting relationships has provided over 50 years of blessing. To God be the glory.”

Greg Gilpin, Bookkeeper
Construction is more than buildings; it provides opportunities for others to live, worship, work and even heal. I'm eternally grateful to be working with sons and grandsons that present that same perspective. Their attitude of quality and precision are a priority in our daily business activities.
