Krumwiede Home Pros
Brothers, Greg and Mark Olsen have dedicated their careers to continuing the legacy established by their granduncle many years ago. Both have spent their summers growing up working in the field learning all aspects of the remodeling industry since High School. Both out of College in the early 2000s, Greg and Mark went right back to Krumwiede and started from scratch. They both got involved with leadership roles and develop company processes designed around creating 100% customer satisfaction. This does not happen overnight and takes proper management styles. Greg and Mark now are Co-Owners of Krumwiede Home Pros, being handed down the company from their father Jack Olsen. Both are dedicated, driven workers that enjoy adding value to their customers’ homes while fostering a pleasant experience throughout the job progress. Throughout the years the brothers have taken some of the industry’s top accolades in becoming nationally ranked in Remodelers Top 500 category and winning the Big50 Award for top replacement contractors in the Nation.
