GKB Construction

GKB Construction GKB Construction GKB Construction was founded by Gregory Bauerle in January of 2007. In 1995, he took a job with a framing company in Fishers, Indiana.

Greg graduated Arsenal Technical High School, class of 1984, with a major in Carpentry. After trying his hand at different fields of construction, including concrete repair, asbestos removal, drywall, masonary, and roofing, Greg found that this was not the path he wanted. In 1988, he joined a carpentry crew building decks in the Carmel Indiana area. From there he moved into building custom homes,

where he worked for various different companies over a span of 10 years, working in Indianapolis and many of the surrounding areas. It was there in 1997 that he was promoted to crew supervisor, a position at which he thrived until leaving the company in October of 2006. While a crew leader he was trained by Eric Filipow, a man whom he considers to be one of the best carpenters he had ever worked with. Eric was responsible for teaching him the finer points of building homes, an area which Greg was lacking in the beginning. With all of this knowledge Eric had instilled in him, Greg was able to excel at his job and finally gained the confidence to strike out on his own, and open GKB Construction

Through his years in the field, Greg has learned that hard work, a happy and skilled crew, and a good client relationship are the keys to building quality homes, decks and any other project he takes on. He has taken the skills he has learned from each of the companies he has worked for and implement them into his own company’s standards, policies and beliefs. Greg’s passion for carpentry came from both of his grandfathers. One of his grandfathers ran his own framing company, the other was a carpenter by hobby. Both men influenced him from a young age, but it wasn’t until his freshman year of high school that fate led him to follow in their footsteps. With his initial choice of automotive class was full, he decided to take the Building Trades class instead. That choice has led him into an industry that he has enjoyed for 24 years now. From time to time, Greg finds himself driving by some of the houses that he has helped build, just to see how they are holding up. Eric once told him “when you finish building a home, and hand it over to the homeowner, it’s like watching your own child leave the nest. Sometimes you feel the need to check up on them to see
how they have aged”. Outside of work, Greg is the father of two boys, and is very active in both family life and volunteer work. Having earned the Eagle Scout rank as a youth in Boy Scouts, he and his wife both now work year round with their son's troop. During the winter months, he coaches and referees at an indoor soccer league, working with kids from age 9 to 18. For the past six years, they have welcomed a total of nine teenage fosterchildren into their home, working to either reunite them with birth families, or to prepare them for adulthood.

We started a new job today. We are replacing vinyl siding with "Hardi Plank Colorfast Siding". In the process of removing the siding we found this message on the wall behind the siding. Eric Filipow was an old boss of mine when I worked for Anthony Builders. What a weird feeling to be removing work done by your old mentor.

Later we found another message on a lower wall. I come to find out that this house use to be Eric's. Eric passed away back in 2005. After finding this, I felt as if Eric was watching everything we did to his old house. Creepy? YES!

The deck in the picture was not built by GKB Construction. We were brought in to replace the handrails that were falling apart. The homeowner was looking to get some privacy, but did not want to feel like she was closed of from the world and could still get a breeze sitting on her deck, because they had built a new retirement home right behind her house. This is what we came up with.
