Five Generations of Builders
Family Owned and Operated
Quad Cities Iowa
A Family Tradition in Building Excellence
Terry is the fourth generation of builders in his family and the fifth generation is already deeply involved. Before starting his own company, Terry worked for his father on roofing, framing, and siding.
Today Terry and his wife Rita run the company together. Terry keeps construction on schedule. Rita guides every client through design selections.
When you hire Terry Knutsen Builder you are not just hiring a builder, you are hiring a team of professionals.
