In 1978 , T . J . Galley joined forces with George Kessler to form K & G Construction and set out to establish a reputation for quality as Northeast Florida ’ s most respected framing contractor throughout the 1980s . After buying George out , K & G shifted its focus to building homes , thereby further bolstering the company ’ s notoriety and prestige in the construction world .

Amidst the economic downturn and the passing of his father , T . J .’ s son Aaron Galley , President , took over the business in 2010 , opening a new chapter in the K & G story of excellence . Forming relationships built on trust by insisting upon quality above all else , Aaron has successfully maintained many long-term customers and gained new ones by word of mouth .
Through his leadership , K & G pivoted to develop and strengthen its commercial construction division , becoming Jacksonville ’ s general building contractor of choice . The business now also specializes in residential roofing .
