Joe Petrina: Petrina Construction

Joe Petrina’s lifelong dream was to own his own small business.

Joe’s father owned an east Portland meat market, where Joe honed his entrepreneurial skills. His interest in carpentry grew during his time at the University of Oregon and Portland State University.

He began working as a carpenter in 1974, building small decks and fences. A one-man show, Joe grew skilled at framing, cabinetry work, and finishing. Just three years later, at the age of 23, he founded his own company and expanded into remodeling all areas of the home: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and new homes. Perhaps more importantly, Joe discovered his innate talent for helping home owners achieve their dreams.

Lloyd Martindale: C & K Custom Remodeling

Lloyd Martindale, the owner of C&K Custom Remodeling. People often ask how I came up with the name C&K and for me it was simple. I wanted to name my company something that would inspire me. I took the first letter of both of my children’s names and C&K Custom Remodeling was born.

While going to school, I worked for my parents property management company learning to be a skilled handyman. Later, I went on to work for other licensed contractors refining my skills and becoming versed in many aspect of building science. In the summers my father and I would purchase a house for the purpose of remodeling and selling. In 2002, after much encouragement from family and friends, I started C&K Custom Remodeling with the goal of building a Portland general contractor business that focused on customer service and true craftsmanship. I designed C&K with a commitment to a clean, family friendly, professional work environment and all of our teams have been built around these principles.
