Ken Ester

Owner · Volunteer Firefighter · Father of Two

Ken Ester built Construct & Clear on hard work, community, and doing things right. Those values run deeper than the job site. He is a father of two, a volunteer firefighter, a welder, a mechanic, and a CDL driver.

Ken has completed dozens of projects across the Twin Cities Metro, from residential driveways and epoxy garage floors to large-scale commercial masonry restorations.

Ken believes in giving back. As a volunteer firefighter he is already on call for the people around him. That same instinct drives every job the company takes on: show up, do the hard thing, and leave the place better than you found it.

When you hire Construct & Clear, Ken is the one who answers the phone, walks the property, and stands behind the finished job.

The Business

Concrete, Masonry &
Hard Work

Construct & Clear runs on a simple idea. Show up when you said you would, do the work to code, and leave the site cleaner than you found it.

We work out of St. Paul and take jobs across the Twin Cities. A stamped driveway in Maplewood and a commercial masonry restoration get the same attention, because the same crew does both.

Ken runs every job himself, from the estimate through the final walk-through. If something is not right, you deal with him directly rather than a call centre or a project manager who never saw the site.

Concrete, masonry, epoxy, demolition, grading, and snow removal. Six trades under one roof means we can handle the whole job instead of coordinating three companies around each other.

What We Stand For
Our Values
I

Accountability

We show up when we say we will, and we stand behind every job. If something is not right, we fix it. No excuses.

II

Craftsmanship

From sub-base prep to final seal coat, every detail matters. Quality is built in, not inspected in.

III

Transparency

Clear quotes. Honest timelines. No surprise charges. You know what you're getting before we start.

IV

Community

We live here. We work here. We take pride in every project because we drive past it after the job is done.

Common Questions

What People Ask Ken

Six trades under one roof: concrete flatwork and foundations, brick and masonry repair, epoxy flooring, demolition, snow removal, and landscaping and site work. Because Ken coordinates all of it, you deal with one point of contact instead of chasing three companies around each other.

We work across the Greater Twin Cities Metro from our base in St. Paul, including Maplewood, White Bear Lake, Roseville, Shoreview, Woodbury, Oakdale, Vadnais Heights, North St. Paul, Little Canada and Mahtomedi. Larger commercial jobs occasionally take us further out.

Estimates are free with no obligation. Fill out the quote form or call and Ken will come to the property, look over the job, and give you a clear itemized number. He follows up within 24 hours of any enquiry, usually the same day.

Yes. Construct & Clear LLC holds Minnesota contractor license BC810133 and carries insurance for both residential and commercial work.

Ken runs every job personally and is your point of contact from the first call to the final cleanup. On larger projects he brings in trusted trades he has worked with for years, and he stays accountable for the result either way.

Reliable placement runs roughly April through October, when temperatures stay above 40°F long enough for concrete to gain strength. Fall usually has better availability. Winter pours are possible with blankets and heat, but they need planning.

Both, to the same standard. A homeowner driveway in Maplewood and a commercial masonry restoration get the same crew and the same prep.

Cleanup is part of every job, not an add-on. We haul away debris and leave the site ready for whatever comes next.
