About Us

Generational Quality Since 1945

Quesenberry’s Incorporated started as a small construction company founded by M.S. Quesenberry, Jr. (“Ques”) in late 1945. Ques learned his carpentry skills from his father, who was a master carpenter. After graduating high school, he did small contracting work in the Big Stone Gap and Powell Valley area of Southwest Virginia before volunteering for the US Army in 1941.

After returning home from the war, Ques returned to the construction business with a fellow veteran, George Cline. Together they formed a small construction and building supply company, which included the manufacture of cinder blocks and aggregate supply. Ques’ father, M.S. Quesenberry, Sr., became involved in the company as a field construction supervisor.

After a few years, George and Ques split the business into two branches. Ques remained with the construction and cinder block business. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Wise Block and Construction Company evolved into Builder’s Supply Company and Quesenberry’s Construction Company. Charles Stone, Jr. served as the VP and General Manager of the construction division.

With the decline of the regional residential construction market in the 1960s, Builder’s Supply Company and Quesenberry’s Construction Company were combined to form Quesenberry’s Inc., with a renewed concentration on commercial construction.

Through the 1970s and 1980s, Quesenberry’s focus shifted from water and sewer projects and related infrastructure to commercial building projects. In recent years, the company has focused on comprehensive general contracting and construction management services for various commercial building projects.
