Founded in 1994 by CEO and President Mike Kelley, the company operates offices in Pekin, Peoria, and Normal, serving a 50-mile radius that includes Bloomington, East Peoria, Morton, Washington, Springfield, and surrounding communities. Over three decades, Kelley Construction has grown from a local contracting firm into a regional remodeling provider handling both residential and commercial projects.
“From the very beginning, our focus has been on making the remodeling experience as clear and stress-free as possible for our clients,” said a representative of Kelley Construction Contractors, Inc. “We want every homeowner to feel confident that what they see in the design phase is exactly what they’ll get when the project is finished.”
At the center of the company’s approach is its integration of advanced design and estimation software powered by AI-assisted tools. Before construction begins, clients receive detailed visual renderings of their kitchens, bathrooms, additions, decks, or commercial spaces. This allows homeowners and property managers to evaluate layouts, materials, finishes, and structural changes before committing financially.
Free project designs and written estimates are provided with every consultation, typically delivered within one week. The company says this upfront transparency reduces uncertainty and allows clients to make informed budgeting decisions early in the process.
By combining visual planning with itemized estimates, Kelley Construction aims to minimize mid-project surprises—an issue that often challenges property owners undertaking renovations.
“We don’t hand off projects and disappear,” the representative added. “Our clients have direct access to our leadership team throughout the entire process. That level of accountability is something we’ve built our business on, and it’s a commitment we take seriously on every single project.”
Unlike firms that outsource large portions of their workflow, Kelley Construction manages the entire lifecycle of each engagement. Services include:
This centralized model is designed to reduce administrative burdens for homeowners and business owners, many of whom lack the time or expertise to manage permitting, inspections, and subcontractor coordination independently.
On the residential side, the company specializes in:
Each project is backed by a workmanship warranty program that includes one-year coverage on all completed work and five-year coverage on roofing installations.
Kelley Construction holds certification as a GAF Master Elite® Contractor and maintains an Illinois Unlimited Roofing Contractor license. The company is also accredited by the Better Business Bureau, underscoring its compliance with professional and ethical standards.
Beyond residential remodeling, Kelley Construction has strengthened its commercial portfolio. The firm provides:
The company is also an authorized installer of Conklin commercial roofing systems, allowing it to deliver specialized materials and performance-driven solutions for larger-scale properties.
As commercial real estate owners seek energy efficiency improvements and long-term durability, demand for advanced roofing and exterior upgrades has increased across the region.
Kelley Construction recruits skilled carpenters, estimators, and project managers from throughout Central Illinois. Leadership says local hiring remains a priority, contributing to workforce development in the communities it serves.
The company operates under six core values: Communication, Quality, Accountability, Integrity, Urgency, and Expertise. These principles guide client interactions, internal processes, and long-term business strategy.
With demand for remodeling services rising due to aging housing stock and increased interest in property upgrades, Kelley Construction continues investing in technology and training to meet evolving client expectations.
