Kettelle Building Movers, LLC, established in 1964 by Grant "Pike" Kettelle, has carved a niche in the structural moving and raising industry in Rhode Island and its neighboring regions. The company began when Grant realized the need for a specialized mover while purchasing homes that required relocation. Over the years, he cultivated his skills in the trade and formed essential relationships with local movers. After acquiring the assets of a defunct moving company in Newburgh, New York, Grant expanded his capabilities and began to gain recognition for moving significant structures, including the North Kingstown High School administrative building.
In 1992, Grant partnered with his son Scott to formalize Kettelle Building Movers, instilling a legacy of professionalism and dedication to providing quality services. Their pivotal acquisition in 2010 of another local firm enabled them to double their operational capacity, bolstering the company's growth in both machinery and service offerings. Today, Kettelle Building Movers operates not only in Rhode Island but also encompasses Connecticut and Southeastern Massachusetts.
The company extends its services beyond just simple relocations; they provide solutions including structural lifting, excavation, and foundational work, ensuring safe handling of both historic and modern structures alike. Among their notable projects are the Westerly Town Beach Pavilion and the North Kingstown Town House, indicating their capability in managing large-scale and historic buildings. Furthermore, Kettelle has been instrumental in raising homes to meet FEMA compliance, showcasing its commitment to community safety and support.
Kettelle Building Movers has built a strong reputation through decades of experience and dedication to quality craftsmanship, making them a trusted name in structural moving and modification.
