Company Timeline
1987
Building a Foundation
Practical, innovative, and experienced. These guiding principles we carry today originated with Chris Ryzuk, who founded the company as a family-run business in 1987. Providing value for clients and contractors has differentiated us and has aided our success.
2007
New Ownership
After 20 years leading the company, Chris sold the business to four long-time employees who still provide leadership today. While preserving the Ryzuk legacy, this transition opened the door to fresh ideas and new opportunities for growth.
2014–2023
A Time of Growth
In the last decade, we’ve expanded our team, clientele, offices, and project scope, and even moved to a new head office to accommodate our growth. Requests for larger projects and interest from high-profile clients have grown, providing opportunities to showcase our extensive expertise.
Today
The Road Ahead
Ryzuk continues to thrive, and we still uphold our foundational principles. Leveraging our experience, we deliver both practical and innovative solutions to our clients, and are committed to doing so for decades to come.
We Give Back
As a local business, giving back to the community is important to us. Over the years, we’ve volunteered our time and services on local construction projects, run fundraising campaigns, partnered with community organizations, and sponsored a baseball team—all with the goal of bettering our communities.
