Krause Construction has established a solid reputation within the industry for providing excellent services and high quality products within budget and on schedule. Over 90% of our current, past, and upcoming projects are either referrals or a continuation of prior relationships with satisfied clients.
Daniel J. Krause is well-acquainted with the construction industry. From a very young age, Dan worked alongside his father, Warren Krause, as he built several homes throughout the 70’s and 80’s. Dan was exposed to the building trades while cleaning job sites and shadowing his father, and eventually began to show interest in the electrical trade and estimating. This season would later prove to be foundational for Dan.
As Dan grew older, he began his electrical apprenticeship, obtained his journeyman status and then proceeded to pursue his passion for building as a contractor by founding Krause Construction in 1984.
Through the years Dan’s persistence as a contractor allowed him the opportunity to expand his work and business. The expansion led to working with hospitals and healthcare agencies and working with commercial as well as residential custom built homes. Dan’s experience and tenacity within the construction industry has provided many different experiences and opportunities. Among them is his dedication to serving as chairman of the board for The Blue Island Healthcare Foundation.
