A STORIED BEGINNING Founded in 1981, BACK Construction began as a collaboration of four partners: Billy Knight, Alvin Edge, Chuck Ross, and Kyle Whalen. Their shared vision and dedication quickly transformed the company from subcontracting to home building. As time passed, Knight and Edge departed, leaving Ross and Whalen to steer the ship, and in 1994, current President Rob Hundley joined the team, becoming a partner alongside Ross and Whalen in 1998. “Then over the next two years, we started doing more and more remodels, which led us to make the conscious decision to focus on remodeling,” Hundley explains. Driven by passion and the evident community need for professional remodelers, the company shifted its focus. In 2003, Ross left to pursue a different path, leaving Whalen and Hundley to run the company. The two leaders then led the company through a transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) on December 31, 2021, arguably the most influential decision in the company’s history. The decision to become an ESOP was rooted in Whalen and Hundley’s commitment to the company’s employees. 21 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 08 BACK CONSTRUCTION
