- WGWilliam GravesMay 13, 20255.0Korte Luitjohan recently completed an extensive structural repair here at Holy Family Church in Cahokia. From the conceptual bid process through completion we were so pleased with the communication of what was needed and all the work as completed including new concrete entry with ADA ramp and railing. Their sub contractor used for masonry work on the project was just as professional and did excellent work. We would recommend Korte Luitjohan for any construction needs.

- SSSt. Clair County Historical SocietyMar 24, 20245.0From start to finish, the team at K&L worked with us to make our historical restoration project a success. The project was a complete renovation and rebuilding of a 1909 house in Belleville’s historic district. The process presented many challenges and through it all, K&L provided top-flight advice and service. The historic district has a newly-renewed building—a library and community history center. K&L was instrumental in making this vision a reality.
