The Parkes Companies, Inc. has a rich history that traces back to 1950 when Joe Parkes, Sr. was inspired by his father's construction legacy. Following the passing of his father, who had founded Parkes Construction, Joe Sr. pursued a career in civil engineering and worked with various construction firms, honing his expertise. In 1978, he established his own venture, R.P. Industries, Inc. with the determination to create a lasting family business, despite challenging economic conditions. This spirit of resilience paved the way for the next generation, as his sons Joe Jr., Gary, and David joined him in growing the company.
In 2005, they unified their operations under the name The Parkes Companies to reflect their family heritage. Over the years, the company has expanded significantly, evolving from a small construction business into a diversified group that provides a broad spectrum of services in construction and real estate. With over three decades of experience, The Parkes Companies excels in site construction, building projects, real estate brokerage, and development.
The company prioritizes understanding the real estate market to better serve its clients. By offering a comprehensive approach to construction and development, they position themselves as solutions providers, catering to specific client needs, whether as contractors or developers. Their dedication to quality service and client satisfaction, rooted in the family's commitment and perseverance, continues to drive their success today. The Parkes Companies is not just about building structures; it embodies a deep family legacy and a commitment to turning challenges into opportunities.
