Your Foundation Company in Edmonton
Three Generations of Craftsmanship
“This isn’t just a job — it’s a family craft.”
At K. Kuypers Construction Ltd, construction isn’t just a business—it’s a tradition built across three generations. Today, the company is led by Kevin Kuypers, who continues a legacy that began with his grandfather and was strengthened by his father.

“Hands on”
Kevin, the third generation to operate our foundation company and is a very hands-on manager. He guarantees the quality of our foundation company’s work with a 25 year guarantee. Kevin says, “I’m a hands on person. I’m the guy that comes to your house and gives you your estimate. I’m the one you meet first and if we go ahead, I show up with our foundation company truck at 7:00 am in blue coveralls and work boots. I’m on the end of the shovel with my crew. I’m involved in all aspects of the job.”
Kevin grew up around job sites, tools, and the lessons that come only from working with your hands. Long before he owned the company, he spent over 20 years learning the trade from the ground up—working alongside the experienced craftsmanship of his father, solving real construction challenges, and developing the skills that only time and experience can build.
Kevin has been in this industry—and only this industry—for 41 years, gaining a depth of knowledge and hands-on expertise few can match.
For more than two decades as owner, Kevin has carried that tradition forward, combining the knowledge passed down from previous generations with modern construction practices. Today, every project benefits from nearly half a century of combined family knowledge and hands-on experience.
What sets K. Kuypers Construction apart is Kevin’s direct involvement in every project. From the very first phone call, Kevin personally engages with clients. He schedules and performs the estimate, evaluates the problem, develops the repair solution, and works on the project alongside his crew from start to finish. If he is not immediately available, an answering service takes the call—but Kevin always personally returns calls to ensure clients get the guidance and expertise only he can provide. Every aspect of the project—from initial contact to final completion—reflects his hands-on approach.
Experience That Comes from the Ground Up
Kevin’s approach to construction was shaped long before he stepped into leadership. He spent years working directly in the field—learning every stage of the building process, from foundational work to finishing details.
Having dedicated 41 years solely to this industry, Kevin brings unmatched insight into materials, methods, and best practices—knowledge that only decades of experience on real job sites can provide.
That experience continues to guide how projects are handled today. Kevin doesn’t simply manage projects from an office—he works on site with his crew, applying the same hands-on approach that he learned from the generations before him.
This direct involvement provides a deeper understanding of basement foundation issues than many contractors who enter the industry from management alone. Having spent decades on job sites, Kevin understands how materials behave, how structures perform over time, and how small decisions today can affect a project years down the road.
Through decades of work, he has seen building methods evolve, new materials emerge, and industry standards improve. That long-term perspective allows him to make informed decisions that protect the quality and longevity of every foundation repair project.
Craftsmanship Passed Down Through Generations
The values that guide K. Kuypers Construction Ltd were taught long before Kevin became the company’s owner. From his father and grandfather, he learned that good construction isn’t about rushing a job—it’s about doing the work properly and standing behind it.
Those lessons still shape how the company operates today:
- Take pride in the craft
- Do the job right the first time
- Never compromise on quality
- Treat every project with care and respect
Because Kevin is personally involved in every project—from diagnosing the issue to completing the repair—those standards are carried directly into the work being performed on each job site.
This “old-school” work ethic remains the foundation of the company, even as construction methods and technologies continue to advance.
Evolving with the Industry
While the company’s values remain rooted in tradition, its approach to projects continues to evolve.
Kevin stays current with modern construction practices, including:
- Updated building codes and regulations
- New materials and building technologies
- Improved safety standards
- Modern project management and communication methods
This balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern construction knowledge allows the company to deliver results that are both reliable and up-to-date.
Solving Problems Before They Become Costly
One of the greatest advantages of generational experience is the ability to recognize problems before they escalate.
Over decades in construction, Kevin has developed a trained eye for structural issues, material weaknesses, and construction shortcuts that can lead to costly repairs later. Because he personally evaluates each project and develops the repair plan himself, clients benefit from solutions based on real-world construction experience rather than guesswork.
That experience often allows him to identify concerns early and recommend solutions that save clients both time and money. In addition, years of local experience have given Kevin firsthand knowledge of the varying soil conditions throughout the city and how they affect foundations, settlement, and structural integrity.
Whether addressing unexpected structural challenges or correcting issues left behind by inexperienced contractors, Kevin’s experience helps ensure projects are completed correctly and safely.
Built on Trust and Reputation
Much of the work completed by K. Kuypers Construction Ltd comes through repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals—relationships built over years of consistent quality and dependable service. While an answering service handles calls when Kevin is not in the office, he personally returns every call to discuss the project, answer questions, and ensure clients receive the guidance only someone with his experience can provide.
Because Kevin is directly involved in every project, clients know exactly who they are working with—the same person who evaluates the job, develops the solution, and works on site with his crew. Homes and projects completed decades ago continue to stand as examples of the company’s commitment to solid workmanship. That reputation wasn’t built through advertising alone—it was earned project by project, client by client.
Family Values and Accountability
As a family-run business, accountability is deeply personal. Kevin understands that every project reflects not only his work, but also the reputation built by the generations before him.
That sense of responsibility means:
- Standing behind every project
- Maintaining clear and honest communication
- Delivering quality work clients can rely on
Because Kevin is present throughout the entire project—from the first phone call to the final stages of the work—clients know they are working directly with someone who takes personal pride in the finished result.
Deep Community Roots
For decades, the Kuypers family has served the community they call home by helping property owners protect and strengthen their foundations. Today, the company continues that tradition by supporting local workers, suppliers, and families while helping maintain the stability and safety of structures throughout the region.
Many foundations the company has repaired over the years continue to support homes and buildings across the area—lasting reminders of their dedication to dependable workmanship and long-term structural stability.

Since 1954
“Quality is important and a core value. It’s my 25 year warranty. It’s my neck on the line. So when we get a three day rainstorm after we’re done, I sleep very well at night knowing we did a good job.”
Why Choose Our Foundation Company
Quality Control
One thing that makes our foundation company different is our quality control. Kevin is on every job. We only commit to one job at a time. He starts a job and he finishes the job before the company moves on to the next house. Installation of weeping tile usually takes approximately two days. We show up early and dig around the foundation by hand to minimize any damage to your yard. We never use heavy equipment, which would leave tracks in your yard, ensuring that your landscaping is as beautiful as it was when we started.
