Ken Ester

Licensed General Contractor · Volunteer Firefighter · Father of Two

Ken Ester built Construct & Clear on a foundation of hard work, community, and doing things right — values that run deeper than the job site. A father of two, volunteer firefighter, licensed general contractor, welder, mechanic, CDL driver, and soon-to-be EMT, Ken is the definition of a jack of all trades.

Over five years building the business, Ken has completed over 200 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's already on call for the people around him. That same instinct — show up, do the hard thing, leave things better than you found them — is what drives every job Construct & Clear takes on.

When you hire Construct & Clear, you're hiring Ken. Not a subcontractor, not a stranger — the guy who answered your call.

The Business

Concrete, Masonry &
Hard Work

Construct & Clear was built on a simple idea: show up on time, do the work right, and leave the site cleaner than you found it. That's been the standard from day one.

Based in St. Paul, we serve homeowners and commercial clients across the Twin Cities. From a stamped driveway in Maplewood to a full masonry restoration on a commercial building, we bring the same care to every job.

We don't subcontract. The crew you meet at the estimate is the crew that does the work — accountability from the first call to the final walk-through.

What We Stand For
Our Values
I

Accountability

We stand behind every job. If something isn't 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

Reliability

We show up when we say we will. We finish when we say we will. Your schedule matters.

V

Community

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

VI

Clean Sites

Cleanup is part of every job — not an add-on. We leave your property better than we found it.
